Things to be Remembered.
A pound avoirdupois is equal to 7,000 grains.
If a stone be dropped from the hand, it will fall through 16 feet during the first second of time.
Steel is the strongest metal, but gold is the most malleable; for a cubic inch of gold can be beaten out so as to cover the floor of a room 50 feet long and 40 feet wide.
The diamond is the hardest solid ; that is to say, it can scratch everything else, but nothing else can scratch it.
A cubic inch of water weighs nearly 252 grains ; and, there- fore, four cubic inches weigh nearly 1,000 grains.
100 cubic inches of air weigh 31 grains.
100 cubic inches of carbonic acid weigh 47 grains.
100 cubic inches of hydrogen only weigh 2 grains.
The pressure of the atmosphere will support a column of mor- cury 30 inches high, and a column of water more than 30 feet high.
Sound travels through air at a velocity of about 1,100 feet in one second of time.
If a musical string vibrates 50 times in one second, it emits a deep, low note ; if it vibrates 10,000 times in one second, it emits a shrill, high note.
The heat required to melt a pound of ice would heat 79 pounds of water one degree. The heat required to boil away a pound of boiling water would heat 537 pounds of water one degree.
The spark from a Leyden jar lasts only the twenty-four-thou- sandth part of one second .- Prof. Balfour Stewart.

LITERARY AND OTHER SOCIETIES.
(((( E quote from NORTON's " History of Knox County," page 270. " The first Society of a literary character, established at Mount Vernon, was the 'Polemic Society,' in 1815, which was kept up until 1817, and included among its members the more talkative and social citizens. It was converted into a Thespian Society, and was well sustained for many years. The- atrical performances were generally gotten up every winter, for a number of years, and were very creditable to those concerned. The object was to spend the long winter evenings agreeably-not to make money. Lawyers, Doctors, Merchants, and Students, lent a hand as occasion required. Among the active and valua- ble upon the boards, were Dr. R. P. Moore, Philo L. Norton, J. W. Warden, Charles Sager, T. G. Plummer, Jacob Davis, Wm. Smith, S. W. Hildreth, S. W. Farquhar, Eli Miller, Henry B. Curtis, T. W. Rogers, Isaac Hadley, John Colerick, J. S. Ban- ning, and Calvin Hill. The exhibitions were usually at the Court House, or at the Golden Swan Inn. ( The Golden Swan Inn building is now known as the Swetland and Banner office corner .- White.) The clothing, equipments and scenery, were of very rich material. One of the old actors says-' it was most splendidly illustrated with georgeous parahernalia in most pro- fuse variety and transcends representation.' "
In 1816 " The Mount Vernon Library Society" was formed. In 1821-2 the young bachelors of the town formed " The Mount Vernon Literary Society." In 1830 " The Mount Vernon Lyce- um " was organized, and was well sustained for many years.
About the year 1830, a regular " Amateur Dramatic Associa- tion " was organized, and continued in existence until about 1840. The representations took place in the, second story of the 3
18
WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.
Huntsberry building, now known as the " Old Masonic Hall." At that time the whole of the second story was one large room, and, for Theatrical purposes, answered very well. The promi- nent members were, F. J. Zimmerman, Wm. Thompson, James Blake, James Smith, E. C. Vore, Benj. F. Smith, Benj. Colopy, N. N. Hill, Thomas Shaw, David Brentlinger, Elijah Stevens, Alex. Elliott, and Jacob B. Brown. One farce gave our citizens great amusement, and is often spoken of yet, viz: "Raising the Wind." Among the cast of characters, now recolleced, were- " Jeremy Diddler," F. J. Zimmerman; " Peggy, the beautiful Maid at the foot of the Hill," was well sustained by Thomas Shaw. David Brentlinger was the company's Singer and Ven- triloquist. The Orchestra consisted of N. N. Hill, Benj. Colopy and Alex. Elliott. Stage Managers, B. F. Smith and F. J. Zim- merman.
In 1834, a " Mechanics' Society " was organized, which con- tinued in operation until 1840. In 1839, a society called the " Franklin," was formed for mental improvement.
" In 1850, Zohar Blair, Noah Hill, Robert Thompson, Daniel Clark, and Samuel Davis, started . The Mechanics' Mutual Pro- tection Association,' which, after two years, was merged in the Brotherhood of the Union, and continued till 1854."
In December, 1849, several gentlemen of Mount Vernon set about getting up a Historical Society for Knox County, and, in 1850, a constitution was drawn up and signed by " thirty-two gentlemen, fourteen of whom," writes Mr. Norton, " have pass- ed way from earth. Twelve years have passed by, the society long since was numbered with the things that were-and this- ( the " History of Knox County,")-comes the nearest to being a report of any thing that yet has emanated from any of its mem- bers."
Mr. Norton gives the names of the members of the Histori- cal Society, which we take pleasure in copying, viz:
Hosmer Curtis, Gilman Bryant, Joseph Muenscher, M. E. Strieby, Jesse B. Thomas, James Scott, Daniel S. Norton, M. H. Mitchell, Henry B. Curtis, R. C. Hurd, R. R. Sloan, A. Banning Norton, C. P. Buckingham, G. W. Morgan, C. Delano, Walter Smith, M. W. Stamp, N. N. Hill, George Browning, Matthew Thompson, J. C. Ramsey, J. N. Burr, Samuel Israel, W. Beam, J. W. Vance, W. H. Smith, John C. Stockton, D. Potwin, John W. White, J. H. Peacock, Samuel Mower, John W. Russell. Hosmer Curtis was chosen President; G. Bryant, Vice President ;
19
WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.
R. C. Hurd, Treasurer; Rev. J. Muenscher, Corresponding Sec- retary ; M. E. Strieby, Recording Secretary ; R. R. Sloan, Cabinet Keeper.
In 1856, Rev. Dr. Muenscher formed a new " Mount Vernon Library Society," that continued in existence till some time in 1864.
In 1856, Dr. T. Eugene Clark, Robert Buck, J. Q. Buck, Wm. A. Bounds, Thomas Wilson, C. Springer and John W. White, associated together, and formed " The Atheneum," for Amateur Theatrical representations. They were assisted by Mrs. J. Q. Buck, Miss Irene Swan, and Miss Sallie Swetnam, of Cincinna- ti, and Miss Julia Irvine of New York city. The association continued for two years, and numerous performances were given the citizens.
On the evening of Monday, February 16, 1874, an association of young ladies and gentlemen of this city, gave an Amateur Dramatic entertainment, at Wolff's Hall. The pieces selected were the popular drama entitled " All that Glitters is not Gold," and the laughable farce of "The Quiet Family." The Banner, of February 20, speaking of the first night's performance, says : " The house was crowded to overflowing, and every thing pass- ed off to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. . . . . The audience were so well pleased with the performance, that it was repeated, by general request, on the next evening."
On the evening of May 4, 1874, the same association placed upon the boards the pleasing drama of " Down by the Sea," and the roaring farce of " Raising the Wind." This entertainment was given under the auspices, and for the benefit of the " MOUNT VERNON SILVER CORNET BAND." The performance of these two pieces gave as much, if not more, satisfaction, to the audi- ence, than the peformances of February 16, and 17, 1874.
On the evening of February 25, 1876, the same association pre- sented to our people, at Kirk Hall, "The Honeymoon," for the benefit of the "SOLDIERS' MONUMENT." The city newspapers of the day claimed that the members of the association surpass- ed their previous performances. The play, by request, was re- peated the next evening. The Programme of "The Honey- moon," was thought worthy, by the committee, of a place in the Corner Stone of the Monument.
As an act of justice to the ladies and gentlemen composing the " Amateur Dramatic Association," of this city, as the pro- ceeds of ALL their entertainments, were devoted to charitable

In the winter of 1876, some of the scholars of the Mount Ver- non High School, formed "THE PI DELTA PSI SOCIETY," and held weekly meetings. On the evening of May 26, 1876, the So- ciety gave a Grand Dramatic Entertainment at Kirk Hall. The entertainment was highly appreciated by a large and intelligent audience. The Programme was an excellent one. Among the performers were Charles M. Pepper, Samuel R. Gotshall, Flora Stephens, Emma Shaw, Ella Shaw, Charles W. Doty, Sue Miller, May Snook, Kate E. Swetland, Jessie White, A. Wm. Marsh, Harrie Martin, Louis Lane, Frank Harper, Clara MeFarland, Jennie Chapman, Mary Sapp.
June 28, 1876, the scholars of " SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL'S PAROCHIAL SCHOOL," of this city, gave a delightful entertain- ment at Kirk Hall. The only drawback to the Programme was its extreme length, which must have been fatiguing to the youthful performers, ranging in age from seven years to fourteen.
The names of the young performers were: Katie Hene- gan, Belle Henegan, John Henegan, Frank Henegan, Katie Hayes, Mary Muldowney, Mary Weber Flora Bechtol, Annie Purcell, John Taugher, Julius Rogers, Mary Payne, Mary Brent, Julia Johnson, Mary Mccarthy, Walter Brent, Mary Barrett, Katie Mead, Mary Mead, Mary Kelly, Mary Dermody, Bertha Brent, Annie Barrett, Maggie Henely, Annie Henegan, Ella

THE MYSTERY OF PERFUME.
-0-
O one has yet been able to analyze or demonstrate the assen- tial action of perfume. Gas can be weighed, but no seents. The smallest known creatures-the very monads of life-can be caught by a microscope lens and made to deliver up the se- crets of their organization ; but what is it that emanates from the pouch of the musk-deer that fills a whole space for years and years with its penetrating odor-an odor that an illimitable num- ber of extraneous substances can carry on without diminishing cither its size or weight-and what is that the warm summer air brings to us from the flowers, no man has yet been able to deter- mine. So fine, so subtle, so imponderable, it has eluded both our most delicate weights and measures and our strongest lenses. If we come to the essence of each odor, we should have made an enormous stride forward, both in hygiene and in chemistry, and none would profit more than the medical profession, if it could be as conclusively demonstrated that such an odor proceeded from such an such a cause, as we already know of sulphur, sul- phurate hydrogen, ammonia, and the like.
WHEN Tamberlik, the famous tenor, was once in the vicini- ty of Vera Cruz, he was captured by Mexican brigands, together with $40,000 which he had upon his person. Learning who he was, they persuaded him to sing for them, and were so much pleased with his performance that they restored his money and his liberty, and also gave him $2000 for the pleasure he had con- ferred.
