! VIRGINIA SALT M1NEs.-Hunt's Merchants Maya
zine says it is indebted a correspondent intel
lgent and ndefatgable gatherer of facts connected
with almost every material, commecial and ndustri-
al interest in the United State for the suboined
count of the great Salt Mines in the mountains of
Virginia:
The State of Virginia is moving the great work of
internal improvement and is making a Railroad that
will reach the great salt mines of its mountains, and
in few years that salt will be distributed over the
whole of the Eastern State-ts superior quality will
insure for it ready sale everywhere for it is better
worth one dollar per bushel for table than any
other salt that ever came to our market is worth
twenty-five cents. 1t spure chloride ofsodium, and
will remain as dry as -four in any latitude from the
equator to the pole.
This great salt mine is in trough between two
mountains, at elevation of 1892 feet above the
level of the sea, and the waters of the north
fork of Holson river, tributary of the Tennessee,
and near the river of the State of Kentucky, Ten
nessee and North Carolina, where these border on
a southwestern point of the State of Virginia.
The fossil salt lies about 22O feet below the
face of the ground, and is incased in vast deposit
of gypsum.
About ten years since two boxes of geological spe-
cmens were sent to me from. these mines and from
the surrounding country. In repacking these into
other boxes, some pieces of fossil were put in box
with specimens of iron from the great iron ore
beds of Northern New York, and remained in that
connection until the present year. On being OPEN
ed, the specimens were all in good order, the salt
not having in the least corroded the iron, or pro-
duceO any rust
have no doubt that this deposit of salt resulted
from volcanic, action New River, the head of one of
the tributaries of the great Kanawha River this
salt mine and is undoubtedly the source of the
saline supplies of the deep wells of the Kanawha;
but in its thither it undergoes change and
when raised from the deep wells, is found there
to contain bromine in great abundance.
The Kanawha salines among the wonders of
the world; the salt water comes from depth of 1000
feet, and is cold as northern blast in winter
thus exploding the theory that the heat increases in
the earth everywhere, as progress is made down
ward. -.
The gas which is issued from these deep wells in
abundance is sufficient to illuminate the entire Nor
thern Hemisphere and rises with force that is suf
fcient to throw a cannon ball considerable dis
lance.
In the excavations made in the neighborhood Of
the salt mines of Virginia, the bones of the beho-
moth are found, of size indicating large the
hull of ship of the line.
have no doubt1he table salt of our market will,
in three years, be supplied by the Virginia salt
mines; and even now, our grocers cannot do better
than to send to the salt mines Virginia for pure table
salt for the supply of their customers who want a
good a1ticle-Huaat's Magazine.

SELECTED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.

BucKwHEAP PoRRIDGE.-Take a quart OF
rich milk, and after boiling it hard, stir In as
much buckvheat meal as will make it of the
consistency of thick mush, adding one tea
spoonful of salt and a tablespoonful of fresh
butter. In five minutes after it is thick enough
take it from The FIRE. If the milk is boiling
hard and continues to boil while the meal is
being stirred in, very little more cooking will
be required. 1t should be placed on the table
hot, and eaten with butter and sugar, or with
molasses and butter. This is sometimes called
five minute pudding; it is excellent for chill
dren as plain dessert, or for supper. Some
add a seasoning of ginger or grated nutmeg
befors sending it to the table,
Corn MEAL PuDDING WITHOUT EGGs.-
Take six table-spoonfuls of meal, and stir mo
lasses enough in it TO have the meal all wet,
and no more; that will sweeten it enough; then
take one quart of milk and boil it; pour it on
the meal boiling hot; stir the meal while pour
ing the milk on to it so as not to have it lum-
py; stir In three table-spoonfuls of wheat flour,
wet with little cold milk; salt it, and bake
two hours; add spices, if you like. This will
make an excellent pudding.
QUEER REMEDY FOR WHooPING CoUGH.-
The Springfield Republican says:
A very great relief we are assured upon
practical knowledge, is obtained by wearing
about the neck fresh tarred rope of the size
of BEDFORD, covered with thin riboon.-
The aroma of the tar has wonderful effect in
PREPARATION FOR THE Boors.-To one
pint Linseed Oil add two ounces Beeswax, two
ozs. white turpentine, one ounce Burgundy
Pitch-color with lamp 5lack-melt together
and stir well. This preparation, when ap-
piled faithfully, will prevent leather from
soaking water, preserve the boots and keep
the feet dry.
STOVE PoL1sH.-Make weak alum water,
and mix your British-lustre with it, perhaps
two teaspoonfuls TO gill Of alum water; let
let the stove be cold, brush it with the mixture,
then take dry brush and rub the stove till it
is perfectly dry. Should any part, before pol
ishing, become so dry as to look gray, mois-
ten it with wet brush, and proceed as be-
before.
To MAKE PAPER FIREPRooF.-Dip paper
into strong alum water, and it will resist the
action of fire.

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the ev
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed So wide is the field of its use
fulness and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the countrv abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases Of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa
rent to escape observation and where its virtues are
known the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs but for the milder varieties
of CoLDs, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughous
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that eN%
has been. and that the genuine article is sold by
