Lieut.

The water Is about one third salt yielding that amount on boiling. It's density is considerably greater than that of the Dead sea 8He can hardly get his whole body below the surface. In s sitting position the head and shoulders will remaln above water such is the strength of the brine, and on coming io th9 shore the body IS coHered over with an intruStation of salt, m fine crystals The most surprising thing about Il s the fact that dunAs the summer season he lake throas on shore abundance of salt. while in tIe winter season Il throws up glaubef salt ln large quantites. The reason o lhls is left to the scientific to ludge, and also what becomes of the enormous amount of fresh water poured into il by three or fouT large Tiyers--Jordah, Bear and We ber--as there IS no visible oatlet.--B,teqo Con H,ereins Ascertser.

Interesting Incident.

Miss Dix, the celebrated philanthropist who visited our State about five years ago for the pur pose of ameloratig if possible the condition cf our State prisoners and making useful donations to them, IS thus notteed by the Greenville GID Pat not:
 The other day, in conversation with Miss Dix, the philanthToplst, daring her visit to Greenylie lady said to her: Are you not slfaid to travel all over the country alone and have you not en- countered dangers and been in peroas situ atious " am naturally timi't,' said Miss Dix, " and diff fdenL like all my sex; but Tn order to carry out my purposes, I know that k is necessary to make sacrifices and encounteT dangers. It is true, have been n my travels through the different States in perIlous situations. l will mention one; which occurred in the State of Michigan. had hired a carriage and dryer 10 convey me some distance through an ttRFHAabIssd portion of the coan;Ty- In starting, l discovered that the drver young lad, had. as palE of pistols with him.

He did so, reluctantly.

My God he exclaimed, That yoicet and immediately told me that lie had been m the Philadelphia Penitentlary, and had heard me lec- turing some of the prisoners in an adjoining cell, and that he now recognized my voice. He then desired me to pass on. and expressed deep sorrow at the 6utrage he had committed. But drew out my purse, and said to him, I will give you some thing to support you until you can get into honest enpioymen.' He declined, at first, taking any thing, until insisted on his doing so, for fear he might be tempted to rot some one else before he could get into honest employment"
 Had not Miss Dix taken possession of the pistols u all probability they would have been used by her drver and perhaps both of them murdered.- That voice" was more powerful in subduing the heart of robber than the sight of brace of pistols.
