Salt Well.

This delightful place of resort is frequented
by numbers of young people, and those not
SO young as they have been, fond of rustica-
ting in the charming shades of the most beau
tiful retreat in this region of country. The
excellent strawberries served up at the Salt
Well, have been no Insignificant attraction,
yet they are nearly gone. We are acquain-
ted with no more delightful place of resort,
and especially at this season of the year, than
the Salt Well, as the beautiful and extern
sive grounds are known, owned by Squire
Rowley, on Pigeon creek. 1t is but short
walk from the city, and little longer drive
by the road. The appearance presented at
this season by the extensive park, with its
tall forest trees, the broad walked and arbor
spotted garden, redolent with the perfumes
of flowers, and musical with the voices OF
birds, is such that rare inducements are offer
ed for visits Then the Squire's assistants,
Messrs. Smith and johnson, are very atten-
tive to ladies and gentlemen visiting the Salt
Well, and do everything that accommodating
spirits can suggest for their pleasure. The
water of this resort is spoken highly of for its
medicinal properties.

A gentleman who came to this city on
board the steamer Chancellor informed US
that the u. S. Mail on board the Gen. Wash
ington, was robbed while said boat was I'M
der Roadway, between this city and Paducah
last Friday. The Washington continued to
Paducah where she was lying when the
Chancellor arrived there, awaiting an answer
from the agent at Louisville, to dispatch sent
him by Capt. Langhorne. When the Chan
cellor left Paducah no clue to the robber had
been gained. We were unable to learn the

The weather. &c,

A short time back the farmers of this re-
gion were complaining much OF the want of
rain. Their corn and wheat, gave evidences
of the unforward effects of the drought; and
fears were entertained of another season OF
bad crops. Now the complaint is Of direct
ly opposite nature. We have had so much
rain within the last two weeks, that if not
too much, more may be a serious evil
These warm rains, if continued, and followed
by the sultry weather which has marked
these, will be very likely to produce rust III
the wheat. At present, the crops look well
and bid fair over the whole West to prove eX-
celIent. We earnestly hope the farmers will
be recompensed for their bad crops of las
season.

Holding a Corpse for Debt.

A young man, a stranger, died at board
ing house in New York, the other day, and
the boarders contributed sufficient money to
bury him. The Tribune says:
The man of the house sent for the coffin. at
his own request, and got one worth 81 or IS.
for which he charged $l2 The night before
the funeral he locked up the body, refusing
to let the friends see it, and when the board
ers and others assembled at 2 o'clock to per-
form the rights of burial, the hearse being at
the door, he fatty refused to unlock the door,
saying that if the s. that the deceased owed
him was not paid, he would send the body to
Potter's Field. The young men, shocked at
the atfocious conduct of this vampire, Dor
rowed the money, redeemed the dead body OF
the unfortunate stranger from his clutches,
and buried it at Williamsburg. The name
of this imprisoner of the dead is with US but
we do not choose to pollute our columns with
it. Suffice 1t to say, almost every boarder
in the house has or will leave the premises

STONE CAvALRY.-Four petrifed horses
and their riders are said to have been discov-
cred in the bottom of Crow Wing river, one
hundred and twenty-eight miles above SAINT
Paul, Minnesota. The ST. Paul Pioneer,
which seems to be slightly sceptcal on the
subject offers to pay fifty dollars for each
sound petrifed horses mare or gelding, and
the same for each perfect petrfied man or wo-
man which may hereafter be found, and half
price for ponies and children. A St Louis
Barnum, who is about to establish a museum
in that city, writes to the editor of the Pic
neer for particulars in relatian to the stone
cavalry, and offers to pay literally Cor hari
customers if they can be delivered there in
good condition" A few antedilavians. en-
halmed by nature, would rather take the
shine out OF the swaddled corpses brought
from the pyramids.

IFThe powers of the human mlnd are OF
greater extent than is generally imagined
He who entirely. either from taste or neces-
sity, exercises them frequently, soon finds
that the highest felicties of which our nature
is capable, reside entirely within ourselves.
The wants of life are, for the greater part,
merely artificial. Had we courage to seek
or happiness in ourselves, we should fire.
quently find in our own breasts greater va
riety of resources than all outward objects
are capable of attending.

ANOTHER INvENTIoN.-Mr. Charles Daw-
son, of London, has constructed an instru-
ment capable of performing mechanically an
unlimited number of musical compositions
1t is called the Autephon. The inventor in
describing it says: Though it can play no
music ofitself, it can play any music that can
be arranged on a sheet of paper supplied TO it
returning the sheet uninjured when the piece
is done, to be again inserted, ifa repetition be
desired, or to be replaced by fresh sheet. if
another piece Of music be required" From
the descriptions we have seen of this inven-
ton, it appears to be constructed on the prin-
ciple Of the burrel organ.

the rapid improvement now going on in
Princeton. In various parts Of the town old
buildings are fast disappearing, and substan-

is this prosperity the result of feverish and
