At a meeting of the Bcllcvuc and Platte Valley Claim Association, it was Resolved, That the members be requested to make a plat of their several claims, show ing as near as possible, their connection with the Government Surveys, and also the streams and roads that pass through or bound them, so that a map may be made for the use of the Association, and that such plats be handed to the Secretary as soon as possible. JOSKPH DYSON, President. W. H. Cook, Secretary. Enterprising. VYe have received the third niiii'iler of an interestiap; newspaper, recently started at Bellevup, Nebraska Territory. It is a good-sized, miscellaneous family paper, independent in polities, and devoted prin cipally to literature and general intelli gence. It is published by S. A. Stkick iiHD, formerly of this village, and speaks well for the enterprise of the Publisher ami the community whioh sustains him.

Colotvl Hay, of the British army, re cently tried his hand with the Vulcanic Repeating Pistol, a Yankee invention. The pistol used on the occasion was nn vight-inch barrel, which discharges nine tails in rapid succession. The Colonel fired the arm twenty-seven times, making a number of shots which would do credit to a rillemnn. lie first fired at an eight inch diameter target at ouo hundred yds., putting nine balls inside the ring. lie then moved back to a distance of 20i) yds., and fired nine balls more, hitting the tar get seven times. He then moved back one hundred yards further, a distance of three hundred yards fr cm the mark, and placed five of the nine balls inside the ring, and hitting the "bull's-eye" twice. The man who beats that may brag. 63" How little we know of the esc of the various unemployed vermin surround ing ns. That an immense amount of motive power is annually wasted by neg lecting that very elastic, industrious and lively animal called a flea, is undeniable ; and it was, therefore, with considerable pleasure, we read in an English paper that A gentleman in Kirkaldy, Scotland, has trained a couple of mice, and invent ed machinery enabling them to spin cot ton yarn. The work is so constructed that the common house mouse is enabled to twist twine and reel from 100 to 126 threads per day. To complete this, the little pedestrians have to run 10 1-2 miles. A half-penny worth of oat meal, nt Is. 3d. per peck, serves one of theso treadwheel culprits for the long period of five weeks. In that time it makes 110 threads per day. At this rate a mouse earns 7s. G. per annum. Take off 5d. for board, and Is. for machinery, there will arise (is. clear for every mouse, annually. The mouse employer was going to make an application for the lease of an old empty house, which would hold 10,000 mouse mills, sufficient room being left for keep ers and some hundreds of spectators.

The reporters' gallery will occupy one ' side of the hall altovo the speaker's chair, I w ith a broad corridor behind, lined with , desks and telegraphic apparatus for the use of th" reporters. The speaker's room, and two large retiring rooms intended to be ticd for consultation by the ditierent I parties, open directly into the hall from ! either fcide. The southern portion is ne cessable only from the southern re!;ring room, ami is intended for the use of mem bers. The present Hall of Representa tives will be altered by the removal of the galleries, the present teniKrary wooden floor, and the enlargement of the doors, and used as the rotunda now is. for the assemblages of the people vi.-iting the capitol. The hall of the Senate is arranged upon the same principles as the House. It is one hundred and twelve feet long by eighty-two feet wide. The ceiling is of iron. The Vice-President's room, the Senators retiring rooms and conference rooms will lead into the hall. There will be tho same facilities for easy access to the hall nt the other wing, without the annoyance of passing through the dense crowds, as is now the case. The western and northern porticoes are reserved ex clusively for Senators. The staircases, corridors, offices, &.c, will be finished in magnificent style, worthy of the great and united nation whose capitol it is destined to be, we earnestly hoiw, for centuries to come. .The Shell rish Traile in South- aniptoii water. The village of I Iambic, says the Lon don Daily News, has for more than a century been celebrated for supplying the London market with the monster shell fish, such as lobsters, crabs and crayfish, which are caught near tho channel is lands and along the French coast. They are kept alive in sea water on board ves sels, and by eating one another until they reach Hamble; for as soon as one be comes sickly and weak, it is overpowered and euten by its more healthy comrades. As soon ns the shell fish arrive at Ham ble they are placed in a tidal walled dock, where they are revived and fattened with the offal of butcher's meat. Even here the powerful make war upon the weak, and devour them. Feeders and keepers are employed at the dock', who, with long poles hooked at the end, drag the fish from their marine menagerie when they are wanted for the market. The instant the pole touches a fish, the latter grasps it savagely with his claws, and does not loose his hold until it is landed. When large mainlines are required, the pond is drained. These shell fish are enormous crea tures, the body with tho claws being as long as a man's arm. As the lobsters and crayfish climb nimbly up the sides of their watery caravan, they look like a collection of purple-colored monkeys or I stunted baboons ; and there is something frightful in tho appearanco and noiseless ness of these chatterless creatures, climb ing about their liquid den, and approach ing tho surface to look at the spectator. Close to Southampton quay, portions of the flats are enclosed by banks, and are called parks, into which ehipiouds of oys ters are thrown in the course of a year, where they are raked into layers and fed and fattened. Care is taken in packing them to allow the sea water to flow over each oyster, impregnated with as few rnuddy particles as possible, for if the lat ter get inside the shells, when the fish open thein to driuk or feed, the shells cannot be hermetically closed again, and the fish sicken and die. When the parks were first formed, the inhabitants of South ampton' were alarmed, and the local papers declared that the rotting carcases of the dead oysters would cause a plague. The alarm, however, was unfounded, ns ex perience proved, and the fish vanished instantly and mysteriously as they died, and nothing but the harmless shells re mained. To account for this iatter phe nomenon, it was rumored that the ghost of Dando, the once celebrated oyster-eater visited Southampton in the dead of the night, and supped on the departed bivalves. An old nmphibious creature however, who was employed to park the fish, de clared that the young crabs cat the dead 'tins, for he zeed 'em go in artor 'em.' This turned out to be the fact. The shal low water in the vicinity swarms with iniuuto crabs. As soon as an oyster sick ens or dies, its shells open, and these small crabs attack and devour the invalids or corpses. Sometimes, however, tho diminutive marauders are deceived, and I .1 I ... 1.1 , t m i ill UIVII lliboii; ivj in, niiu lilt' nilt'll III n sick oyster it closes i.jion and imprisons or crushes them.

It is curious to watch, as I have done, the utter contempt of death with which the Turkish soldier inarches to meet the foe; he knows that his di.tiny has been fixed since the day of his birth ; he knows that he must die whenever his time comes, ond that a whole park of artillery would miss him, if his destiny so decrees it; finally he knows that if he fall in battle, he will go straightway to Paradise and won't he be better oil" there than in this world of cares? The same feeling, indeed, predominates wilh the Turks whenever the approach of death is felt. I have seen them dying here in the hospitals, and the calmness of their demeanor would shame many a Christian ; let tliein once bo per suaded that they ure booked for another world, and tho surgeon may lock up his medicaments again no persuasion will induce the Turk to attempt to frustrate the designs of Providence. Correspondent, Extravagance in Dress. In a city of Belgium, extravagance has assumed Slleh nlarmino- tironnt-linns flint the ladies themselves have been obliged to combine for the purpose of arresting its disasterous progress. It appears that extravagance had been for some years n source of constraint in fantilics ;" and it was noticed no marriages were contracted, since the young men, frightened nt the bills that loomed up in the distance, pre ferred to live in celibacy. The mothers, recognizing the inconvenience of a stato of allairs, encouraged by themselves, have resolved to bring about a salutary reform, and with this view they hare formed n Committee, which meets once n week. They have declared open war with extra vagance, ami every inemher announces Dlibliclv. the retrenchments made in her own household expenses. They say that happy results have already been obtained, and that similar associations arc to be formed in the neighboring towns. BELLEVUE MARKETS. CORRECTED WEEKLY KOR THE GAZETTE.

REDUCTION OF PRICE. The rapid and unprecedented Increase of the circulation nr tlie ll.illlmoie Weekly A inert ran, not only in Maryland, but in Ilia South ern and Western Slates. Is a most gratifying evidence that our etfotts to furiiinh a fust class family and business newspaper are fully niv preciatrd by tho lnrgn numhrr of readers to whose interests it is espeifially devoted. Its ciiiupleleness iu every department of Domes tie and Foreign News, and Literary and Mis cellaneous Rending, nnd Its reliability as a compendium of the Commercial nnd Business Allan, of Baltimore is so universally admit ted, tlut It has become n necessity 'with nil persons doing business with our city, whilst to Ihe general render it Is ncknow ledged to be without a superior as a fireside journal. The present large circulation, with a run lliin.it inn of the rapid ncressloii to its sub scription list since the 1st of January, aver aging NEARLY ONE HUNDRED PER DAY, w arrants us in the expectation that before the cb.se of the year it will reach an unexampled cireulat ion. In order to render Ihe Weekly American still more accept .nhe to lis numerous readers, we propose during the present year to add largely to Its attractive qualities, ami In doing so shall spare neither labor nor ixpenso to keep it in advance of nil lis cotenmi,uirs,ns a FIRST CLASS FAMILY NEWSPAPF.lt, its size enabling us to give nearly ilniihle the amount of reading of anv other Weekly paper published South of Philadelphia, and conuc quently rendering it the CHEAPEST WEEKLY PAPER published In any of tho Southern nr Western States. LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS. We propose to greatly improve, this depart ment of the Weekly American, which will hereafter embrace the productions of the, ablest and most popular world-renowned WRITERS OK FICTION, with Literary selections that cannot, fail to give universal satisfaction. It will also con tain original and select articles on Science and the Arts, with Miscellaneous Reading that will be both instructive and enter! .lining. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, is another e,rcul feature of (lie Weekly Amer ican, In which we are sine (is readers f..r the past year will bear witness to Its being with out a superior among the Weekly papers of the country. Receiving regularly full files of European journals, our compendium of Foreign Intelligence is made up from the fountain head, and is furnished iu interesting detail, with n care in selection that has givoii univer sal satisfaction. THE DOMESTIC NEWS, embracing the a (lairs of the whole country, as well ns of our own Stale nnd the Local Mat ters of the City, is also a feature of tho Week ly American that cannot fail to give to Its new subscribers, as It has to its old friends. the most universitl satisfaction. The many hundred copies weekly mailed by our rlty readers lo uieir menus in llio country, and absent relatives, Is an evidence of Its great superiorly m tins respect. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT will hereuOcr receive special ol.tuntion, and a column will always be found on our fourth page containing a variety of useful nnd valu able Information to (lie Farmer. It will em brace original and selected essays from th most able and experienced writers. THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT has obtained a character for completeness nnd accuracy not surpassed by any other pa per In the Union. As a basis of this asser tion, it may be stated that at many flour mills, stores, and ilititilleries, so much reli ance Is placed on its market reports, that sales of grain and other produce are made in nclvance, prices being, by mutual agreement, based upon the quotations given in its com mercial review of the Baltimore markets. It also contains a regular report of the mar kets of Philadelphia and New York, with the latest report of the Cattle markets of Balti more ami ail the Northern cities. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE REDUCED. The Weekly American will hereafter be published Ut $1 AND A HALF PER YEAR For single copies, it being nearly double the size, and containing double, the amount of reading matter of any other weekly newspa per published South of Philadelphia.
