is not all. Post offices distance apart

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-The remarkable col
ynns of gas which short time since burst from
the salt wells of the upper district of the kenaw-
ha Saline., have entirely failed. and what is moro
astonishing. the salt water has disappeared along
with them. So complete has been the failure
that. in instances. the Proprletors have aban-
doned their furnaces. The writer suggests the
following explanation: In the district of the gas
wells the boring has been 50 deep that strata Of
limestone has been reached, as is proved by the
fac. that pieces of stalacti,es have been thrown TO
the surface by the column Of gas. /, is not i'm
proba bic that the salt water has sunk down and
disappeared through assures of the limestone rock.
which have been thus reached by the uncommon
depth Of boring.
