CHARACTER And REGULARITY OF SALT
LAKs.-Every reader has heard Of Salt Lake.
but very few persons know anything Of its
extent and peculiar nature. A writer speaks
thus:
That this lake should be all salt is no anon.
ally. All large bodies Of water into which
streams discharge themselvee, while they
nave eeverally no outlet, are, or should be.
salt. II one such is fresh, that is an anomaly.
irdeed. Lake Utah, probably, receives as
much saline matter as Salt Lake but she dis
charges it through the Jordan and remains
herself fresh; while Salt Lake, having no is
sue. save by evaporation, is, probably, the
saltiest body of water on earth. The ocean is
com paratively fresh; even the Mediterranean.
at Leghorn, is not half SO salt. am told that
three barrels of this water yield q barrel of
salt; that seems rather strong yet its intense
saltness, no one who has not had it in his ey es
his mouth, his nostrils, can realize. You Gao
NO more sink In 1t than ia q clay bank; but q
very little of it in your lungs would suffice to
strangle you. You make your way in from
a hot, rocky beach, over a chaos OF volcanic
oasait that is trying to the feet but at the
depth OF yard or more you have q fine sand
bottom, and here the bathing is delightful
The water Is Of light green color for about
ten or twenty rods, then "deepiy, darkly,
beautifully blue" No fish can live In it ; no
frogs abide in it; few birds are ever seen dip
ping in it.

HORSE STUEG TO DEATH By BKRs.-A valu.
able horse, owned by Rev. Jno p. Hall. OF
Frederick, Ind, was stung to death by bees
last week. On the inside of the fence where
the horse was hitched, was a stand of bee
hives, and during Mr.. Halls absence the bees
attacked the horse furiously. Unfortunately.
the head halter was new and strong and the
himself were fruitless. At length, q servant
boy, veiled and gioved, was sent with knife
to cut the hitching-strap; but when he came
TO the rescue, he found the horses mouth wide
open and filled with bees, which literally
stung him to death. Violent Inflammation
ensued and the poor beast died OF sulfocation
during the day. re

man whose skull was fractured last Friday
afternoon by the accidental explosion of
piece of machinery in Mr.. H. NJ. Smiths fac.
tory, is in q very critical condition, though
hopes are entertained of his recovery. When
first injured his head was merely bandaged,
without removing the shattered bone, and. as
consequence, the compression ON the brain
produced cOnvulsiOns on Sunday night. Drs.
Pe.ticolas and Peachy were then called in to
perform an operation. and did so, removing
the fragments of bone in the most skiilful
manner. Yesterday morning the patient was
entirely conscious, and every symptom was
favorable tor his recovery.

POISONING RATs.-The best food with which
to mix poison for killing rats is pumkin seeds.
Wet them, and sprinkle on little arsenic,
which will adhere to the seeds. They will be
eaten by rats and mice, while cats, fowls, &c,
not being fond of such food, will not meddle
with them. Wherever poison is put up for
these troublesome pests Of the farm, water
should be near by, so that they may eat drink
and die, outside OF their holes and hiding
places. Musk rats, which are often trouble
some pests upon some farms, bordering upon
creeks or ponds, may be poisoned with arse
mic upon pieces OF parsnipor sweet apple.-Al-
baxy Aryws.

long before the tunnel would be reached, aud
SO he answered, "In half an hour" When
they approached the place the Englishman
threw down his carpet bag and pulled off his
coat In few minutes ali were enveloped in
the darkness Of the tunnel. After some ten
minutes streak Of light appeared, and the
ladies, oppressed by the heavy atmosphere,
seemed impatient to be again in pure air
Soon the full light came, every one took
long breath, when suddenly the ladies gave
simultaneous shrek and pulled their wells
over their faces, to hide from them the disas-
trous condition of the Englishman. The poor
man thought the passage through the tunnel
would take thirty minutes, and had been
surprised by returning to light in the midst of
his toilet, which he had not been able to make
