the property Of the Messrs Herds, miner.
al spring breaks out at the base Of O hill,
from beneath an exposure of blush colored,
rough, sheelv sandstone. with concretionarv
markings. The water comes, most likely,
from blue shale, which is concealed below
the surface Us strata of this character were

A qualitative chemical examination of
This mineral water, at the fountain head,
showed its principal constituents to be;
A small quantity Of free sulphuretted
hydrogen.
Bi-carbonatc of lime.
Bi-carbonate of magnesia.
Sulphate of soda (glaubcr salts).
Sulphate Of magnesia, (epsom salts).
Chloride of sodium. Common salt
Chloride of magnesium.
The chemical reactions indicate only
sinai, quantities of saline matter. It is,
therefore, weak saline sulphurctted water,
and its medicinal properties will be that of
mild laxative, it will also be found bcne-
fetal in all cutaneous diseases. "
On section 30, township 10 north, range
80 west, at Mr.. Etherly's blacksmith shop,
q thin coal was struck in digging his well
overlaid by twenty feet Of hard blue sand
stone and blue argellaceous shale. From
the shale thrown out, specimens Of lipido-
dendom and stigmaria were obtained. This
coal is most likely the equivalent of the
Frog bayou coal. or another thin seam in
close proximity.

1 CAN'T BE AN OLD MAID.-"I can bear
of lie, but to- be an old maid, to droop and
wither, and wilt and die, like single pink !!
fcsn't endure it, and what's more, won't"
Now. there's an appeal that ought to
touch some bachelors heart. There she is,
a poor, lone spinster, in . nicely furnished
room, sofa big enough for f,co. t,uo arm
chairs, taoo bureaus, tsoo looking glasses !;
everything in couples except herself don t
wonder she is frantic. She read in her
childhood that "matches were made in
Heaven" and although she's well aware
there are are some Lucifer matches, vet she
has never had chance of trying either sort.
She has heard that there was never q soul
created but its twin was made somewhere,
and she's melancholy proof that tits a
mocking lie. .She soon gets tired of sew
ing she can't knit forever on that eternal,
was going to say internal stocking, (be-
sides, that has felloe to it, and is only an
aggravation to her feelings.) She. has read
until her eyes are half blinded: there's no
body to agree with her if she likes the book
or argue the point with her if she don't. If
she goes out to walk, every woman she
meets has her husbands 8 arm. To be sure
they are half of them ready to scratch each
other eyes out. but that's little Business
matter between themselves. Suppose she
feels very devotional. and goes to evening
lectures, some ruffianly coward is sure to
scare her to death on the way. If she takes
q journey she gets hustled and boxed around
among. cab-drivers, and porters, and bag
gage-masters her band box gets knocked
in. her trunk gets knocked Of. and she's
landed at the wrong s:opring-plAce. Ifshe
wants load of wood, she has to pay twice
as much IS man would, and then she gets
cheated by the man who Jaws and splits it.
Sne has to put her own money in bank and
get it out. hire her own pew, and wait upon
herself into it. People tell her :. husbands
are often great plaques But she knows
there are times when they are indispensa-
BILE. She is very good-loodng. black hal,
and eyes, fine figure. sings and plays beau
tifully. but she '' can't be an old maid, and
what's more she scon't.'' : FAsxY FERN.

The letters by the Hungarian from Liverpool of
the 10th, at Portland, were received to-day. The
correspondence says there is great pressure for
money in st. Petersburg and the large Russian
marts generally. We are sanguine this information
will not disturb the equannty of Carondelet street
and environs. The pressure was so severe that the
Minister of Finance had permitted persons having
to pay duties at the custom house to lodge railway
shares as security in lieu of cash. Meanwhile,
stock and share property is described as almost
unsaeable. The rate of discount has risen to 81 ~
CT The collapse is attributed to the share mania
which has prevailed in Russia during the last few
years, combined with the widely-ramified paper
system amongst manufacturers and others.

accounts up to the I'd November.
