Major LONG, in his work. gives the fol

Rocky Mountains, IN the bottom al which
were found number of Indian Ornaments,

The Boiling Spring IS "A large and beau
lilal fountain of water, cool and transpar-
cnt, aud highly ureated with cafhonic acid.
II rises an the brink of small stream,
which here desernds from the motrltains,
at the point where the bed of this stream
divides the ridge of sand stone which rests
aeanst The base of the first gigantic range.
Thu wafer Of the spring deposits CO
plou+ conerction Of carbonate Of lime,
which has accumulated on every side, until
II has formed Il large basin oscrhanging The
stream. Thls basin is Of snowy white
ness, and large enough IL contain three or
four hundred gallnas, aud Is constantly %
Nerlowlng. The sprung rises from tii, bot
ton OF tlc basin with arunblng nulsc, dis
charging about equal Volumes Of air and
water, probably about fifty gallons per mi.
mute, the whole being kept IN constant agl-
lalion. The water is beautifully transpar-
ent, aud has the sparkling appearance, the
grateful taste, and the cXhlllrating effects of
the most strongly arcaled artificial mineral
waters.
Distant few rods from this, is another
spring Of lhe same kind, which discharges
no winter, IT'S basin remaining constantly
full, and air only escaping from II. w"

sidered as notifications OF small pox.

Ipox, two of which proved fatal.
7. That no case of death has, as yet

From these facts it is rendered mani

deed of numbering his own daughter, young
woman about twenty years Of age. The unnatu,
raj father, after he had driven the rest of the
family from the house, dragged his sick daugh-
tier out of bed, trampled upon, and finally killed
her. A marriage which the daughter intended to
contract, and which was disapproved by the ia

event.

EUROPEAN POLITICS.


If we may judge from experience, the British
ministry begin to suspect some Of the designs OF
the holy alliance, and to act accordingly. In lie
Dutch papers received yesterday there is an arti
Gle under the date Of Nuremberg, which speaks
of the policy intended to be pursued by the king
dom of Hanover, which will "continue to make
her the head of the kind of opposition that has
been remarked in the German diet" We OBJ
serve that this same topic is alluded to in the
journal OF Brussels still more explicitly !" 1t ap
lpears, says the paper, that at the approaching
Opening Of the German diet Hanover Will con
ltnue to be at the head of the opposition which
has been formed in that assembly, since the dec
Ilaration made by the ministers Of Austria and
Prussia in consequence Of the decisions OF the
|congress of Verona" Here, the opposition which
lis mentioned is traced directly to the congress o
Verona and to the measures which grew out oi
tits deliberations. We hope these faint signs o
English spirit will be duly acted up to.
