A writer in the Troy Morning Mail
gives the following notice of remarkable

west of the Paulis Kill, in the town of
Saltwater. 1t is nearly circular, and a.

The name is derived from lis appearance.
Viewed from little distance, it seems
OF milky wilderness except a few rods i'll
the centre, which, by the contrast, appears
perfectly black. The appearance itself is
singular enough, but the cause is still more
remarkable.
From the centre or dark portion of the
lake, at stated periods, innumerable guam.
titles Of shells are thrown up, of various
sizes and forms, but all perfectly white.
These float To the shore, and are thrown
out upon the beach, or skin into shallow
water. Hundreds Of bushels might be ga.

periodical uprisings aud the whole soil,
for several rods on every side Of the lake,

among them an heroic woman, n Mrs.
Pursely, who, when she saw Higgins CON
tending singly with the foe, urged the
men o 90 to his rescue. The rangers at
first considered the attempt as hopeless,
as the Indians outnumbered them ten to
one. But Mrs. Pmscly declaring that
so fine a fellow as Tom should not be lost
for want Of help, snatchcd a rifle out of

horse. sailed out. The men, who would
not be outdone by woman, followed full

Mrs. PUrsIey knew Tom spirit, thought
he had thrown himself down in despair
