The analysis made by the late Dr. De Butts from
one hundred grains Of the water from the main
l0i grains carbonate Of lime 49, grains of sulphate
OF magnesla, (epsom salts,) grain of the muriate
OF magnesla, grain murate Of soda, 10 grains
sulphate OF iron, and ITO grains of carbonate of
iron.
From the above analysis the waters Of shannon
dale may very properly be classed among the Sa-
line Chalybeates-a combination of the most yalu
able description in the whole range of mineral
waters. II may therefore be positively asserted,
without exaggeraton or fear of contradiction that
no mineral water within the limits of the United
states possesses the same constituent parts or is
more salutary and efficient purgative than the
water OF Shannondale Springs This water acts
as gently as the mildest aperient, without giving
rise to those unpleasant sensations of pain and de-
biiity so often occasioned by ordinary cathartics,
prepared by the most skilful physicians.

large warehouse Of Messrs. Strauss & Brother
wholesale and retail grocery merchants, on the
east aide Of Broadway, and, after destroying two
or three adjoining buildings, extended to the city
market-house, one square of which was soon
sheet OF fame. From thence it crossed to the west
side OF Broadway, where some four or five build.
'ngs were also burnt before the flames could be
checked, which swept with great violence towards
Bond street. The loss was about $50, 900, not
half of which was covered by insurance.

Baltimore custom house there now remains, 1t IL

the pressure of strong Democratic influences,
which have far resisted all the pressure brought
to bear by those seeking for their removal. Twelve

would cease with the present month, they having
only been retained to instruct the new corners in
their business.

To birds and beasts, thou brin9est many joys,
And art indeed a truly welcome conner!
Now stroll in pastures green fat sheep aud cows,
Now vernai blades prepare for autumn sheaves,
And woods (tho' stationery take their leaves.
And all politely make their prettiest boughs!
Now the blithe farmer in the early morn
With sturdy step strides DER the fallow heid,
And plants, in hope that tho q while concealed
The grateful harvest may ssconfess the corn
And 80 return him from the fruitful mould,
His gift augmented by hundred fold.
