Scarcely have Dr. Kane and his men drop
ped their bear-skins and got comfortably warm
before another exploration of the forbidden l e
gions of the North is earnestly talked of. The
facts and observations of Dr. Kane in reference
to the great open sea beyond the ice region,
meagre as they necessarily are, have excited
great interest among scientific men. What has
heretofore been suggested by a few is now con
sidered pretty well established- that there is a

as we have supposed, the centre of frigidity, btit
that the coldest point is some fifteen degrees or
more south of it, and that the temperature at
the nole is comparatively mild. There is iu this
a curious analogy with the fact that the circle
of highest heat does not coincide- with the
equator, as we should naturally expect, aud as
the ancients believed, but more nearly with the
belts of the tropics, while the mean annual
temperature of the equatorial belt is considera
bly below that of the Ibmmer heat of the
tropics. - ' '
Various theories are already earnestly" dis
cussed by the savans to account for the open
sea at the 'ri forth pole. Humboldt long ago
suggested that the internal heat of the earth is
discharged at the poles. The.questicn is, shall
the truth be sought bv another Arctic expedi
tion? It will cost treasure, and - probably hu
man life, but f curiosity, so -" far ' from being
appeased, is only stimulated by the results of
previous researches.. It is suggested that, by
pursuing a more easterly route many of the
perils hitherto encountered would be avoided,
aud that with the experience of the past, the
voyage might now be undertaken with a fair
prospect of safety aud success. Rash and futile
as the enterprise appears to prudent men, we
nave little doubt that it will be attempted; and
by Americans, who will not allow any body to
take from them the bouors and rewards of
scientific discovery. Springfield Republican.-
Hoops! -A resolution has been iutroduced,

Church, Buffalo, requesting the Trustees to re
move the posts at the entrance to the grounds,
on Maine aud Pearl streets, to a sufficient

Eiccatiaa c( Tbrce Murderers.
We find in the Lafayctts (Iud.) Courier, of
Friday, an account of the execution of tho
murderers. Rice, Driskill and Stocking. The
Courier says.
At ten minutes pnst two o'clock, r. u.
Stocking, Rice and Driskill were duly executed
by the sheriff, Thomas Jefferson Chissom the
first named for the murder of John Rose, and
two latter for the murder of Cephas Farreu
bautrh. At 12 o'clock they were asked if they -were
ready for dinner? Rice replied ''yes, I am
hungry." Driskill said thut he wanted "a
crood old dinner, as it was the last ; he didn't
want to die hungry He remarked to . Rice.
we'll jjet supper some where else, Abe." The
dinners were brought iu and despatched ; with
great heartiness. After dinner, each of them
in turn washed aud dressed himself for the final
moment.- They could not have made their
toilet with more deliberation aud coldness ifi
they had been going to a frolic . -Driskill, when
washing;, remarked through the - window, . near
which he was standing, to some outside, that
he was 'getting a good . ready."; In pitting
011 his shirt, Rice discovered that there was a
buttou missing, Driskill told him to sew one on
Rice replied that he hadn't time. Driskill
nonchalantly rejoined that there was "an hour
yet." He complimented Rice with looking
'dil starchy." Rice, as he finished, observed
"Well, gentlemen, I reckon there was never a
willinger soul to die than I ani.' Stocking said
nothing, . flut conducted himself (as he did
throughout) with great dignity and firmness.
The sheriff then proceeded to adjust the fatal
ropes. Rice requested that a stool which , had
been placed for his accommodation ou the scaf
fold might be removed, and on his request not
being immediately complied with, he removed

head forward, remarked that he1 had "seen ineu

ed that as the proper position. Driskill on
observing it said, 'Abe, arc you going to kneel.
Rice answered "yes." He then turned to
Stocking and said, "Stock, which w ay is the
easiest to die kneel or stand? 'I want to die
the easiest " way." Stocking replied: die
that he should stand unless he thought there
was danger of the rope breaking. -The sherifl
assured him there was uo danger of the rope
breaking. - He therefore stood up, but Uns-
ill kneeled. The caps were then drawn over
their faces,' and at twenty-two and a hail
minutes after two o'clock the bolt was witn
drawn and the culprits launched into eternity.
The National Intelligencer publishes a letter
from a friend who. lias recently visited me
Crimea, and examined, with a critical eye, its
military works. Speaking of the tremendous,

An Extraordinary Genius.
A tall slab sided specimen of a Jcrseyraan,
who hailed from some benighted region of tho
sandy State, came to the city of Philadelphia
lately, and perseveringly going around tasting
specimens, he managed to get himself pretty
well spirit-logged. Jersey finally got under such
a head of steam that he collapsed, and. fetched

The prisoner was as taciturn as his judge was
wordy j an amusing dialogue took place between,
the parties. After the officer had got through
with his evidence, in which the fact of drunken
ness was very clearly set forth, the alderman
commenced . " , ' ; ; - I " ' .
.'Ahem! Well," sir, and so yoa have been get
ting intoxicated sir, and forgetting the decen- ',
cies of life, and your social obligations! ; Havo
you no appreciation of the social obligation of
good citizens?". T

sententiously. :

to society, sir, haye yoii no kuowledge of the
requirements of the law?' .
'Nary kuowledge I' responded J ersey, stolidly.
- 'Don't you know sir, that there is a 'straining
law in Pennsylvania! Do yon never see a -newspaper
in your part of the world sir?'
' 'Nary newspaper 1' . -
- 'Well, ignorance of law "excuscth no man,'
cohtiuued the magistrate, becoming . some what :
riled at the manner of the offender. . 'Have yoa
ever made that discovery?' , "
'Nary discovery!' replied Jersey, in theusaal
tone. V -' ' - '- '
The squire was getting his back up.
'Do you know anything but your eternal

'Have you money to pay "your fine?' than-
dered the alderman? " - . .
'Nary red!' responded Jersey. - - . ' .
- 'Take him below growled the man of law;
'the fellow has neither money nor wit.'
- 'Nary!' was the remark, as the officer started
to escort his charge Moyainensingward.

Rread Uakep by Steam. We have before us
a huge loaf of bread, baked by steam, at the
State Farm School iu Monson. Messrs.
IJianchai d & Kimball, of this city,' have, after
a course of experiments, made an oven which is
successfully heated by steam, and which now
does all the baking for the Monsori institution.
It is said to bake meats, very finely, and tho
bread is certainly baked excellently well. The
steam surrounds the oven, and can be main
tained at a given temperature with great even
ness.. The success - of this experiment would ;
seem to show, that large hotels and all public
institutions can do nearly every variety of cook
ing bv steam. Steak cannot be broiled over
live coals nor chesuuts roasted in the ashes by
steam, but all the rest, we believe, is provided
for. Springfield (Mass) Republican. .

Tue Fkktility of Kansas. Hon. Sterling
G. Cato, the Territorial Judge, in a recent, let
ter to his brother, of Eufaula, Ala., says:
"The people here are quiet and orderly, sharp
and intelligent ; a little rough in manners, bnt
warm hearted and cordial. This is a fine
country as any on the face of the earth, and
the prohts of its productions would tar exceeo. .
tlioe of the cotton fields of the South. All
kiuds of grain, grass, clover aud hemp, yield a.
rich product. . .1 have no doubt but that slave
labor would yield 111. hemp, corn and gram, at
least from thirty to forty dollars per acre annu
ally. I have seen no poor landf it all seems to
me richer than the Chattahoochee bottom, and
most of it is just such land as, in the . adjoining -
Missouri couuticsjs now selling at from $20 to-
$50 per acre.-; Corn is now selling , at twenty
cents per. pushel, and the product estimated - at
One hundred bushels an- acre: and hemp crop
(six tons per hand) at $140 per ton, aud you
see at once how labor is more productive hero
than at the South. It is impossible to give an
adequate idea of the beauty and fertility of the
soil and country ; generally rolling,, without a
great- deal .of timber, but as I ;. understand,
abounding in coal for fires, and stone for build
ing, and fencing; good wells f water can .bo
obtained anywhere, besides frequent stream
miming through the prairies."' - '"
