GREAT NArrRAL CURIOSITY.

The Dayton (Oaio) Transcript contains
a description Of a natural curiosity recently
made public which exists 90 The Scloio nv

Some time abou, the year ISIS, two men
By the names Of DAVIS and Richards, salt
boilers by profession, commenced boring for
salt water 10 the bed OF the Scioto river,
near the place mentioned. Ancr having
bored about 30 feet though solid rock,
they came upon stream Of white sulphur
water Of The strongest kind. The augeF
silh which they were boring suddenly
sunk something Ike two feet, which is pro,
badly tho depth Of the stream-but such
was the pressure Of the water, that the au
ger was forced up again, and large weights
had to be attached 10 i, 10 order TO keep II
to its place aud enable them TO bore further.
They continued to bore on, however, until
they got about 400 feet below the sulphur
stream, when they struck upon salt wafer.
The SIZE Of the au5er vas about - inches
in diameter. When they To- It cut, the
j.. Of sulphur water rose Up 10 the height
Of 20 feet above the surface Of the river
In order t. obtain access to The sail water
beneath they procured strong copper
pipe, and attempted 10 force It doau to tie

Al subsequent, attempts to insert a pipe

work al intervals Tor several years, The pro-
inct vas entirely Abandoned. Alcr enarg-
ing the orfce made by The augcr OF the

and that water can DC thus obtained TO iuT

that he died without fear-and that he
felt prepared to meet his God. He was
IN his senses up to the last minnie or
two before he died, and denied to the
last that he was guilty Of the principal
charges alleged against him. He was
anxious TO write out his defence before
he died, and thought that he could vim
dictate himself before an impartial pub

years. He had a tolerably good edu-
cation, and conversed freely. Thus

DEATH OF JOHN A. MURRELL

e This noted individual died at John
B. Murphey's Tavern in Pikeville,
Bledsoe county, Tenn, in November.
Nearly all the time since he came out
of the Penitentiary, he has been in We
ny bad health. We believe he had fall
en- into the first stages of consumption,
and it was that disease, in connexion
with dyspepsia, that terminated his life.
Days before his death, he was certain
that his end was fast approaching, and
at his request his friends had his shroud
and coffin made and exhibited to him.
Murrell protested religion before he
left the Penitentiary, but never attach
ed himself to any church. 1t was his
intention had he he have lived, to at
tach himselfto the I" Christian Church"

Great Rot IN Georgetoacn, Ohio
A slip from the office of the Telegraph,
published at Georgetown, Ohio, (about
46 miles this side of Cincinnati, gives
an account of an afray which took
place on Monday last, between some
Kentucky negro-hunters and a number
Of Abolitionists residing on the Red
Oak Settlement. The runaway ne
groeS had been secreted in the houses
of Robert Miller and AbsaIom King.
Miller's house was searched, and
two Of the slaves discovered, who at
tempted to escape, and while Miller
was in the act Of aiding their escape he
was knocked down and stabbed repeat
edly by the incensed Kentuckians. He
fingered but few moments and died.
The two slaves were then bound, when
they proceeded to the house of King,
where they were met by four or FIVE
armed men who declared their deter
mination to resist any search Of the
house. Both parties being well armed,
most horrible conflict ensued. A son
Of Col. Towers was killed immediate
ly. King, while re-loadtng some of
the firearms in the house, was shot by
some one through a window in the
back part Of the house, and was not
expected to survive. The sheriff and
his posse arrived and checked the riot,
aid the ringleaders of each party were
arrested. 9.sqauee '..5zser ssq5a ast
But another band Of Kentuckians
soon arrived, and commenced another
scene of bloodshed. One of the slaves
was hung without ceremony, for resis-
ting brother of Col. Towers, who had
captured him. The houses of Miller
and King were burned to the ground,
withS all their contents. They then
went to the house of M. Alexander
Gilliland, tore him away from his fam
lily, and beat him until his life was
despaired of. sss
The Telegraph adds; "The num-
Der of Kentuckians is increasing hour
