SALT has been distributed over The earth
with capricious hand In Catalonia, Spain.
there is mountain of rock salt, rising to an ell
esarion Of 663 feet above the level of The sur
rOuuding soil, with circumference of about
5000 feet
In Asracan there is said 10 be Two whole
mountains composed entirely of salt.
There is sal, track in Missouri. along the
Missouri river, so miles long and As wide!
In Virginia, immense under ground masses
lie deposited, which, with iha, out cropping in
hills, would supply the world for many ages.
In New. York State, the innumerable depos-
lies of immense salt beds, from which are an
nuaIy manufactured millions Of bushels of salt,
show that sufficient salt exists in this State TO
furnish the world. But, on the other hand. il
is so scarce in the interior of Hindosian, as To
fetch 62 cents a pound, and in the west Of
Thibet and Abyssina it Is so valuable as 10

agency in evolving other mineral elements, as
we'll as securing to the soil The 9Fial consIi,u-

however, we should remark, expels ammonia,
and should 20, therefore, be mixed with BAN
manure, either in the heap or in the SOIL
Wheat crops have been frequently injured in

To escape any injury from The use Of lime

Origin of MOrmOnism.

The Albany Evening Journal gives the fol-
lowing account of Joe Smiths early operations
Joe Smith," previous TO bis becoming a
Prophet. was Loafer." He resided near
the village of Palmyra, spent most of his time
10 bar-rooms. and seemed only anxious to live
along :" from hand to mouth" without work.
He was remarkable for nothing in particular,
bu; Incidence, and scheming, on a small scale.
In ls24-'5. he went vagabondishing off into
Western Pennsylvania, where. nobody knows
how, he got possession of The manuscript Of a
half-deranged clergyman, with which he return
ed to Palmyra, where he pretended that he was
directed, in dream, to repair 10 particular
spot in the woods, and possess himself Of an
oracular slate" or, as he called it, a +" Golden
Bible" From this inspired "slate," which he
used TO place in his hat, he first read TO the ga
ping few new and strange revelations; and
finally he produced the Book of Mormon,
the creed and faith for People of whom he
was designed by Providence to be the Prophet
and Ruler. The Book of Mormon" is copy
OF the manuscript which Smith obtained near
Pirisburg
A wealthy Farmer, by the name of Harris
was his first believing convert Harris mort
gagged his Farm to raise the money required for
the temporal support Of the Prophet, and the
printing of The Book Of Mormon" The
Prophet and his Convert, (Smith and Harris,)
came 10 Rochester and offered us the honor oil
being their Printer We were in like manner,
year afterwards asked TO print "Morgan's
Revelations Of free Masonry" But as we were
only in the newspaper line, we contenled our
self with reading chapter of wha. seemed
such wreiched and incoherent stupidity, that
we wondered how Joe had contrived to make
the first fool with it. But he wen, on making
not only fools, but knaves, in America and Eu-
rope, for more than twenty years, and until his
career was abruptly cut short by men who be-
came themselves vioaors of the laws they
were called to vindicae.

e'a"ee al their principal topics. may be fixed i
me memory by means Of the following lines ::
In GENESIS. mark the beginning:
In EXODUS. see Israel shining:
LEvIrICUs and NUMBERS show
he laws Jehovah spake below.
In DEUTERONOMY. behold
hose laws second time enrolled
And here The Pentateuch of Moses.
WIN It's grea, authors history closes.
Now JOSHUA takes the Promised Land
Three hundred years the JUDGES stand;
RUTH among the sheaves is seen
Pralsmg God with her sweet mien;" :"
In SAMUEL's book are pictured all
The fortunes of himself and Saul:
| VI hINGs succeeds numerous race.
Whose deeds through CHRONICLES we trace:
Then EZRA doth Gods standard wave,
And NEHEmIAH, patriots brave,
Who raise The second temple fair,
And Saems holy walls repair.
The last page this of Judah's story
Illi Be'hlehem's Star displays its glory.
Yet in'erposed, as episodes,
Are hymns, and prophecies, and odes:
First EsTHER's royal name is found
For beauty and for worth renowned;
JOB lifts an ancient scroll sublime,
Unknown its author, source or time
10 reach The high strains of the PsALTER,
An angel on his wings might faIter;
A treasure It's of prayers and praises,
Winding through all music's mazes:
And next like jewels Sc, in gold.
Or strings Of pearls in caskers old.
King Solomon's three books behold:
First PROVERBS, then EccLEsIAsTEs
The SoNG, or CANTIcLEs, the last is;
A mystic theme or eastern story,
OF Chrisl's fair church, an allegorv.
-Four prophets greater, trelre The less,
The dictates Of their God express
IsAIAH's lips were touched with ire;
Grief-strung was JEREMIAH's Tyre;
In LAMENTATIONS, low and tender
He mourns DER Zion's ruined splendor;
In Babylon, EZEKIEL saw
Visions thai filled his soul with awe:
And DANIELS pen records so plain
The glories of Messiah's reign,
Egypl's and Syria's kings, that we
Write from his book their history.
Ere Israel went to Babylon,
HosEA's long career was run;
JOEL breahed forth his soul Of fame
AMOS from the sheep-fold came;
Gains, Edom and all lions foes
The voice Of OBADIAH rose;
And JoNAH's faithful lines record,
The story Of his whale and gourd;
Nor at much later periods come
The prophets MICAH and NAHUM;
While from sublime HABAKKUK flowed
His burdens and his lofty ode;
And ZEPHANIAH's voice of terror
Proclaimed that wrath should light on error.
But when The captive Jews. restored,
Rebuilt he temple Of their Lord,
Then HAGGA1 ZEcHARIAH, came,
And MALACHI. whose honored name
Brough, up of ancient saints the column.
And sealed The grea, prophetic volume.

MEDICAL INsTI-

wv TUTE.--The undersigned proprietors of
the Institute, having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are now ready
to receive students.
This institution is intended to afford instruction
to Medical Students not only by the common mode
Of private pupilage, (by which the preceptor, by
more mPerious calls his attention, is denied time
sufficient TO do more than to direct the students in
course Of study, and perhaps to as few gen.
,era questions on each author, but it is designed to
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
cial education, which are afforded by daily Iec-
rures and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction, as iIlustra-
tIoNs by drawings, dry and wet anatomical prep
arations, pathological specimens, and chemical ex
periments; also, demonstrations by manual and in
strumentsl operations on the obsetric phantome and
the application of surgical apparatus and bandages
The art of prescribing and compounding medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken to give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculation and percussion, &c.
The course Of instruction is intended to equal
the highest standard of medical education in this
country, and every incentive and facility to an
dent and persevering cultivation of the principles of
the science will be afforded, to beget spirit
Of inquiry that will not rest satisfied with the aequi
sition of the period of pupilage.
The annual course of instruction will embrace
two sessions The first, from the second Monday
of November till the last of February, will be de-
voted wholly to full examinations on the subjects
lectured on in the Columbian Medical College.
The second session will commence on the second
Monday of March and terminate the last of Octo-
ber: during which instruction will be given on the
various branches Of medicine by lectures and daily
examinations. Students may enter for one or both
sessions. Terms, Sl00 per annum, payable in adj
vance.
