Our colleague, Mr. T. G. Clemson, has recently re- 

 turned from Europe, after a long and faithful appren- 

 ticeship in the School of mines at Paris, and having 

 availed himself extensively of the various sources of im- 

 provement only to be found in that great metropolis, 

 has fixed his permanent residence in his native state. 

 We look with confident expectations to the active co- 

 operations of Mr. C. in the departments of mineralogy, 

 chemistry and geology. 



Mr. C. has accepted the appointment of the Geological 

 Society of Pennsylvania, to visit and report on the gold 

 region recently discovered in York county, Pennsylva- 

 nia, and has proceeded on that duty. Mr. C. was also 

 immediately on his return from Paris, honored with the 

 appointment of director to the Flemington mining com- 

 pany. The mine is located in Hunterdon county, New 

 Jersey. 



The Legislature of Maryland, emulating the liberal 

 policy and practical intelligence of the state Legisla- 

 tures of Massachusetts and Tennessee, of North and 

 South Carolina &c, have appointed Professor Ducatel 

 and Mr. Anderson of Baltimore, with extensive instruc- 

 tions for a geological and topographical survey of the 

 state of Maryland \ these gentlemen are at the present 

 moment actively and successfully occupied in this im- 

 portant duty.
