About this chasm are several cmcks in the showing that more of the surface about tbe cavity is settling and; will probably tall in. But as all solid below, this can do no Darm The falling of several tons of earth and rock to the depth of 375 feet, crashing through some 5 or 30 plank floors, ad crushing to atoms thousands of feet of square timber, was of course attended by a terrific noise, and a fearfuUqnakirrg ot the earth in the vicinity. The concussion of the air instantly extinguished the lights throughout the mine wJrkmenrho were standing up were thrown down. via sime bf the tunnel tbe cars were thrown from the track, and the chambers, tunnels and galleries were everywhere filled with suffocating clouds of dust The air was forced south into tbe Savage mine to stropgly that every light in the mine was extinguished, ears blown off their tracks, and about ths same effects produced as in the Opfair. The rush of air ud the Savage hoisting shaft (nearly 400 feet deep) caused all the lights in the boistiog house to be blown" out, tbe eogine stands, in a room partitioned off from the main building, ana at some 'distance from the mouth of tbe shaft, yet so preat was tbe force of the concussion that tbe door of this room was burbled open and the lamps blown out.

Ornamental modern system of education ipr girU is calculated to turn out upon society about as worthless an article of women as it ii welt possible to imagine. They come from our fashionable schools perfectly innocent of all ideas of usefulness, and without tbe first qualification for those responsible duties in life it is reasonably expected they may? be. called upon to discharge. If fortunate (or unfortunate) enough marry neb, and she can afford to torn over to others those domestic duties which re very womun ought thoroughly to understand, perhaps the case is not quite so bud. We bold that every young womau ought to learn the art of house-keeping iu all its branches, aud be able to make every article of her own clothing, with perhaps the exception of shoes, buupsand bat.

Theres a considerable excitement at the preseniL time relutive to cotton and large 'companies have been formed for Southern California and Mexico, and the present year there will be quite a number of smalt' plantations made in different parts of our State, down south.

"Sba Island" dtton will be much planted, and will be a profitable and produc tive crop tof raise, Cotton in this State should be planted about April or May, to do well, upon thor oughly plowed ground: 1 he ground should be harrowed well and made fine, -and the rows should be five feet apart. Our soil is generally rich enough the soil should be a light with a southern exposure if tbe land baa been closely cropped, give it sme good fertiliser guano is; good and eheap.

SSTY T-Ofttjstft njl tbii to re? strict the free am of three fourths of the land of the State in ordef to secure bitter enjoyment of one Will it do even this much There are certainly grave doubts on this point. In all the central and northern portions of the State, the agricultural portions, the lnds fitted by their quality and sitatipQ fbr profitable cultivation have already been reduced to possession and enclosed.

it may safely be stated that there Is now more land under fence than the agricultural thl State require. Suppose then this proposed measure Should become a law. It cannot extend our seaports into the interior. It cannot make oar shallow streams navigable. Jt cannot cheapen the price of labor; nor can it-cause our barren plains to yield fifty and an liunded fold.

But it cao render wholly worthless the capital hitherto invested in fencing. It can prevent thousands of acres of land being Used for grnsinK purposes. It can vast-ly increase our floating. population and all that train of evils that follow ia the wake of juawise- legislation.
