Indeed we put up during our stay, with 'the Captain he having erected four rough rooms, which gave him the power to dispense hospitalit in a man ner which made it very acceptable tcj those per sona who were but newly arrived jand were ignorant of the . ropes." : After sapper, we isited the " Ball Room " which is located only aome forty yards from the mill pondL ' It is a strong platform, some ai.xty by; thirty, feet, and is protected from the heat by boughs of trees placed over head. The 44 room " is! consider ably larger than it was even ten days ago. It i now large enough to allow . forty j persons to pirouette at once.

Ihe dance. lasted until 10 0 clock, but Friday was the day. Earl in the morning, the citizens living in ihe neigh borhood commenced coming inl and by dinner time a large crowd had assembled, numbering, we suppose, at least four hundred.

It usually proceeds step by step and these steps are taken byimany different men. Take, for example, U19 discoveries respecting the action of plants upon icarbonicj. acid. The" celebrated Bonnes first observed the evolution of a gas from leave, immersed in water, j In the next place Priestly discovered thai gas was oxygen. Then Ingen hotise showed bxperiment that solar light was necessary for its disengagement, .and fin ally the range of discovery was completed by Lenwestein, that the oxygen gas is derived from carbonic acid. Such is X the history, of most great discoveries, -and taking a proper view Ot thef abject, it should dispose us to set a due value upon the labors of onr predecessors well as upon our cotemporaries.

But Saturn is at least 80 times further from us than the moon, and instead "of requiring 80 times the number of seconds to produce his : imagre, 1 he t I O r I requires only 24 times.
