The circumflex imparts to the vowels over which it is placed, a longer and deeper sound than ordinary ; eg in hnte, temp&te, g\te, and apotre.

They are curious observers, noting...

Cannel, anthracite, and bituminous coal are all found in the State. Gold is said to have been discovered in White county. Near the Hot Springs is a celebrated quarry of oil...
Էջ 107 - West," there is manganese enough in Arkansas to supply the world ; in zinc it excels every State except New Jersey ; and has more gypsum than all the other States put together, while it is equally well supplied with marble and salt.
