THE DEAD SEA EXPEDITION.

Lynch, has been successful The party completed their operations and returned on the 10th of May to Jerusalem, where they were regarded with great honor by the people as having achieved wonder. During their researche, they soun> ded the sea to the depth Uf coo tathoms, and found the bottom in all it's parts encrusted with crystaaized salt.

A YANKEE tiEROllJE

A very interesting ease came under the sn- psrvision of the Aims House Commissioner a few days since. A family had moved fiom New Haven. Conn. 10 near Springfield, Il inos, some five years since. Last winter both the father and mother fell sick and died, leaving among strangers a daughter scarce sixteen years of age, and four small children. The daughter delicate but very beautiful girl, was a true heroine. and kn, wing that her parents had died poor, and that among strangers her little brothers and sisters would be subject Co many hardships, and would be shut out from the opportunities cf mental culture whic they would enjoy in their native State, she at once determined 10 travel back to Connecticut.- laid in store of provisions, and with two lean horses which her parents had brought To the West. she started with Ter little brothers and sisters in an old cart. With brave heart and holy purpose che commenced her journey, and for weeks cooked their victuals by the way sIde and slept in the old cart At length they Ar. rived in this city. The last morsel of bread was used up-the last penny spent. Trusting and single minded, she did not give way to de- 'pondency. and Providence did net p.rmit them 10 suffer. A friend gave food to rhe worn out horses. Her case was mentioned 10 Mr. Ieon> ard. eur worthy Aims House Commissioner, and she was promptly assisted on her journey. [" due season she arrived among her friends and is now doing well. What noble wife she will make for some fortunate fellow.

WILLARD FILLMORE.

A correspondent, of the Boston Traveller, writing from Albany, says:
 "The Hon Willard Fillmore, the candi> date for the Vice Presidency of the United States, boards at the Delavan House He is Comptroller of the State, an office of more responsibility and importance than that ot Governor. The Comptroller re- quires more than forty clerks to do the busi. ness ot h's office, at an expense of more than $4O,O0O. MT. Fillmore is a soble looking man, Of tall and commanding figure. lie is one of those men who impress you at once and make you ask ho is that genilem an P He is exceedingly popular in the S,ale-and those who knOw him in private life are warm in his plaise Should he be elevated to the high office to which he is nominated, he will discharge his duties with an elegance that has never been excelled.
 They tell here, with much humor, the manner in which Mir. F. recei ,ed the new of his nomination. The day between the nomination Of Gen. Taylor and MT. Fill more, was quite vexalious tO many here It became generally known that Mr. Fill. more was nominated before he knew ii himself. Some one asked how he l,ked the Philadelphia nomibaiiOn. He expressed himself gfati6ed In the highest degree He vas then asked how, in particular ne liked the nomination for the office of Vice Presi. dent. He replied that he did na kno wh. the nominee was. He vas informed, and for moment he seemed c0nf0unded. He said afterwards When l was told of it. you mi yh. have knocked me down with fealhsr.'
