Illinois Salt.

Many years ago. large quantities Of
salt were Manufactured at the salt wells
near Equality. in South Illinois; but ow-
ing to the weakness of the brine and the
want Of scientific knowledge on the part
of the manufacturers. they found them
selves unable to compete with the salt
works in Virginia and elsewhere, and
some years ago suspended operations.
More recently, the "Saline works." as
those in Illinois are called, fell into the
hands of gentlemen who were fully
competent to develop their true value;
and. they are now manufacturing large
quantities of salt of very superior quail
ity. Messrs. Castles & Temple have
tho entire management Of the works at
present. They began by sinking well
eleven hundred feet deep. For the first
625 feet, the bore ofthe well is 518 inches
and three from thence to the bottom.
The water rises to the surface Of the
well, but owing to vein Of fresh water
which comes in below, 1.-THE pump tube
is made to extend 625 feet into the we'll,
and thrs excludes the fresh water.
The water, as brought up through the
pump tube contains nearly ten per cent,
of salt, and is remarkably free from i'm
purities, and oil that enterprise, skill
and intelligence can do has been done in
erecting the furnaces. and preparing to
manufacture salt. 1t is found impossi-
bic to exhaust the we'll; and great guam
fitiec of calf will uouu ho ynade at these
works.-IHinois Baptist. 'E

A CLERGYMAN WHOSE HONESTY EoUALa

that he compiled The other day he re

claim against me; and, also many thanks
for the favor you granted. The Lord,

two hundred and twenty three converts,

although performed with due deliber.

minutes. You will see that this was
nearly four minute, and ] consider il

converted on the day Of Pentecost could
easily have been baptized by the twelve
Apostles, each taking two hundred and
fifty, in an hour and thirteen minutes.
Please accept the money, and believe
