Up in Bryan, Williams county, oho-j~
Tie tom there is a novelty which is rarely
to be exceeded in curiosity any ywhcre. All
over the village the people are favored with
natural fountains Tie Item" published
at that place, thus describes the novelty:
1t is supposed by some that there is an
underground lake, at the depth of forty or
fifty feet, of considerable extent, as water
has been found VIXEN bored for, for several
miles around. This is also apparent from
the fact that every well that is bored effects
the strenth OF others in its immediate vicin
ity, unit! its stream is elevated, by means of
a stock, to an equal height. The amount Of
water discharged by these fountains. howev-
er, is not proportionate or equaI-they vary
considerably in the different parts Of the
town, the strongest ones being generally east
of Main street. The water can be raised in
proportion to the strength of the stream for
ced up. There are several that fill two
inch auger hole at the height of eight feet
above thc surface of the earth, and others
issue somewhat smaller stream at the
height of twelve or fifteen feet. Some Of the
larger ones frequently throw up small fish,
and we are told that there is very strong
fouatain about mile east of this place, in
which fish, Of blackish color, Of the length
Of three inches, have been seen. a a5
The work Of procuring water is simple
and easy. They are seldom any stones met
with, to obstruct the course CT the auger.
and one or two days are required usually,
to sink well, of five OF sixinches in circum-
ference the necessary depth. Water is found
at an average depth OF forty-two feet. The
auger passes a loose sand until it strikes
what is called tae "hard pan" bed of solid
blue clay Of from two to three feet in thick
ness, and of such nature that it requires a
drill TO penetrate it. Immediately below this
"hard- pan" lies the water, embedded, it is
supposed, in quicksand. as for some days, in
some instances weeks, large quantities Of fine
white sand are elected by the water; but the
stream finally becomes entirely, pure and
clear, no sand is afterwards seen-
Noseasou nor state Of weather has effect
upoa these living fountains--neither tht
drouth nor the food can change their cur
rents--they are ever the same---thslr source
is inexhaustible, and therefore th6y cannot
fail. a5a

NY FIRST LOVE.

The tropis winds more softly breathe

From dim oblivion's sea,
And wear the FERNS they used to wear
In Lies serenity. ..rt

Her gentle girlish form;
The nesting roses on her check,
So beautiful and warm;
The dlmples round her dewy mouth,
Her tender look Of love;
The music of her gentle voice,
Like whispers from above.
The long dim avenue ofueos
That led beyond the town;
The glimmerng of the village lights,
When night.was coming down;
The graveyard. with the solemn tombs,
Where silently we trod,
As though football could disturb
A soul that slept in God. -
The little parlor and the light
That waved upon the wall;
The warmth Of every mute caress---
well remember all
The clear brown eyes, the glowing cheek,
That nestled to my breast
As though it never more could SEEK

Where we sat long ago,
And dream hear the kindly words,

The wavering ofthe fre-ight

But by my side, the vacant chair
Reminds me Of itall.

en- happens that the most trivial circumstnn
ces produce important results. According
the Judge Burnets Notes on the North
Western Territory the question whether
North Bend or Cincinnati should be the
great commercial town of the Miami coun-

became strongly a.'ached to "Alaca1eyeG
lady," who lived with her husband at the
Bend where he was stationed; and tks hps-
band becoming somewhat alarmed at the at
tentions which the commandant paid TO his
wife, removed to Cincinnati Finding his
lady hove had fed, the officer thought North
Bend unfit for commercial town, and NOV
ed with his troops to Cincinnati. and from
that day the glory Of the Bend departed,

Editing q Newspaper.

The following sensible remarks We find
in the National Intelgencer, and copy
them for the benefit of whom it may con
cern.
"Many people estimate the ability, of n
newspaper, and the industry and talent of
its editor, by the editorial matter it con-
tains. 1t is comparatively an easy task
for fro:hy writer to pour out daily col
nmns of, words-words upon any ani ali
subjects. His ideas may flow in one wishy-
washy everlasting flood, and his command
of language may enable him to string them
together like lunches of onions; and yet
his paper may be a meagre and poor con-
Germ. But what is the toll Of such man
who displays his loaded matter largely,
to that imposed on judiciops, well inform
ed editor, who exercises his vocation with
an hourly conciousneSs of his responsible
ties and duties, and devotes himself to the
conducting Of his paper with the same care
and assduity that sensible lawyers bestows
upon SUIT, or humane physician upon a
patient, without regard to show or display
Indeed, the mere writing part of ediling a
paper is but small portion oil the work.
The care, the time employed in selecting.
is far more important, and the fact of good
editor is better known by his selections than
any thing else-and that we all know is
half the battle. But, as We have said, an
editor ough to be estimated. and his labors
understood and appreciated by tho gener.
al conduct of his paPer-its tone, its tenn
per, its uniform. consistent course, its prin-
ciples and aims, its nanliness, its dignity
and prepriety. 70 preserve these as they
should be preserved, is enough to occupy
fully the attention Of any man. If to this
be added the general supervision of the
newspaper establishment, which most ed
tors have to encounter. the wonder is, how
they find time to write at all"
