received through DR.. Francis lie Barron,
Apothecary General ofthe United States,

perhaps, than any III the known world,

of singular purity.
The specimen which Dr. lie Barron,
gave 10 DIR. Mitchell, was accompanied
by a curious map OF the western half of
Lake Superior, drawn by youth of the
Chippewa tribe. On this are delincated
the Onatanagan, and the place where
the native Copper exists as also are all
the memorable streams, bays and islands
