A Com bustibIe River.

We have not seen in print notice of the
following strange facts, although every steam
boat man acquainted with Green River naviga-
ton can verify its truth. Just above the locks,
when the river is at a certain stage, very low,
for several miles steamboats, shut down their
furnace doors and allow no torches to be light
ed, for fear of what the deck hands call I" set
ting the river on fire." Frequently, boats using
torches or keeping their furnace doors open at
this particular place, have found themselves
enveloped in blue flames, greatly to the alarm
of passengers, and in several instances setting
the steamers on fire. In some instances the
passengers have only been prevented by the
strenuous exertions of the officers from leaping
overheard in their alarm.
The cause Of the phenomenon is simply this
The bottom Of the river becomes covered with
forest leaves and rubbish to the depth of prob.
ably, several feet. Boats at low water run
through this bed Of vegetable matter, their
wheels stirring it up thoroughly. An inaam.
mable gas is thus permitted to escape, which
on communication with flame, at once takes
fire and hurns with blue blaze. AT such
times the boat is stopped and the flames cease

NATURE.
A bee abroad on busy wing,
Dipt in a fragrant flower
Aud found some liquid, just the thing
To swell his honey store.
A wasp few after to the same,
And found within its cup
What he could turn to poison flame.
And quickly sucked it up.
The flower itself from out the light
Had Guild with wondrous care,
The color for its petals bright
Which made il look SO fair;
But by its side noxious weed
OF collar dark and bad.
From the same earth and light did feed
Juice that would turn men mad
A maid-with fair and modest eyes,
A lovely picture sees,
To holy innocence prize
She almost bends her knees;
To the same window straight did squint
A forward, dashing youth,
And on lewd and paltry print
He gloaied--pleased, forsoolh
So every one gets what they want,
Ask for iruih--truth will come
Springs will rise for those who pant;
To the deaf-Creation's dunn,

The citizens Of fJeffersonville, Kentucky rbave
held a meeting and severely denounced the au.
thorites Of Ohio, for setting free the slave named
Rosetta, belonging to the Rev. Mr.. Dennison,
Of Louisville She was, it will be remembered
passing through Ohio, en- route for Virginia,
when she was taken before State court and
declared TO be no longer slave having come
into free State. Among the resolutions
adopted by the meeting, was one asking the
Legislature Of Kentucky TO reimburse Rev. Mr..
Dennison for his losses, and that the amount
be subsequently demanded by Kentucky from
Ohio, and suit brought, if necessary, in the
Supreme Court of the Union. Another resolu-
ton calls for similar meetings in every county
in Kentucky, and declares "that the people Of
Kentucky hold themselves ready, as they ever
have done, TO aid the General Government in
vindicaion Of the supremacy Of its Constitution
and laws, and the overthrow Of notification,
come from what quarter it may"
