"IcE SPRINGS This is rather fun
ny expression, yet correspondent from
the Salt Lake, so expresses himself.
He says that beyond Fort Laramie in a
certain low swampy place on tn road to
the great Salt Lake City, by digging
down two or three feet, bed of ice is
struck Of one foot thickness, clear as
crystal and hard as rock, and that in the
middle OF August, and of course at all
seasons of the year. The ice Is found
between two layers of mud.

Curious CALCULATIONS The ocean,
accepting the supposed average depth
Oft as 1000 feet, contains 29,0O0,O00
of cubic miles of water; and to fill its
basin would require all the rivers OF the
earth pouring their waters into it for
forty thousand years.--The amount of
heat received from the sun every year
would suffice to melt crust of ice 80
feet thick, enveloping the whole earth.
According to the technical reckoning,
the solar heat which annually raises the
sea-water in the form of vapor, cores
ponds to the enormous sum of sixteen
billions Of horse power.
Singular CASE OF SoMNoLENcY.-
Miss Aramlnta, daughter of Mr. FIELDING
5. Ragan, of Harrlsonburg, Va, aged
about fourteen years, without complain
ing at all of being sick, went to sleep
on the 3lst ult., and has continued in
that situation, with scarcely any inter
mission, ever since. The Register says
she has eaten nothing of consequence
since the appalling stupor came over
her senses-and has spoken but once or
twice since she went to sleep. Once,
on the first day she was taken, animation
seemed entirely suspended. 1t is with
extreme difficulty she can be aroused
from her slumbers, but, when awakened
she seems to know her friends and ac-
quaintancps, although the power of
speech seems to be destroyed.
A REMARKABLE FEAT.--A Parish cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Atlas,
noticing the recent festival in honor of
Napoleon, says that among other per-
iormances "a Madame Sechi, - years
old, walked up a rope 600 feet long,
and elevated at its middle by wooden
trussel 100 feet high. The ascent, as
well as the decent on the other side of
the trussel, were equal, and seemed to
be at about an angle of 30 degrees. She
not only assembled and descended with
ease and even with agility, but perform
ed various frats on the rope which
frightened all the beholders. She
would fall down on the rope suddenly,
lie on her back, and then with the arms
extended, laise to her feet again. This
was done several times, at distance of
70 feet above the ground. She contin-
ued to shout with her shrill old voice,
'Vive L'Empereurr the whole time,
and seemed to mock the fears of the
spectators, The Emperor was sitting
in his carriage in the midst of the crowd
waiting to compliment her when she
descended. This is the same woman
who walked a small rope suspended
between the high towers of Notre Dame
in the presence of the first Emperor and
Josephine, nearly fifty years ago."

SPARE THE BIrDs.-On no pretext
whatever; should farmers and gardeners
permit their birds to be disturbed. In.
stead Of killing them or frightening them
away, they should make use of every
means in their power to induce them to
increase in number and become more
tame and familiar. The worst of them
can earn twenty-five times what thew
eat; and then what exquisite pleasure,
to have your garden, yard, orchard, or
wood, alive and vocal with the music
OF merry birds. Plant trees tor them.
build houses, if necessary, for them, and
let no cat, dog or boy ever modest them
and they will teach you lessons of bliss
preach you sermons-and MARBLE YOU
Snch hymns as you never heard else
where. Be kind to your birds.
