which it appears that they have struck
a vein of salt water, at the depth of 63O

strength of the water at various depths,
from 20 to $50 feet, they report the
brine at that depth to he of a strength

saturation. This is 4 bed of porus
sandstone, from which the water flows
in sufficient volume to carry off the
borings. The amount required Of
this strength to make bushel Of salt,

actual experiment, we have obtained

to be as important in their results as i:
confidently expected, will prove val

RULES FOR HEALTH.

Never go to bed with your feet
sticking out Of the window, particu.
larry when it is raining or freezing.
More than three pigs feet and halt
mince pie, eaten at midnight, will
not generally cause the consumer to
dream Of houris, paradises, accommo,
dating bakers, and other good things.
At least, they are not apt to do so.
Never stand in the rain barrel all
night: 1t checks perspiration and
spoils the rain water for washing pur.
|poscs.
Never spank your children with a
hand saw, or box their ears with the
sharp edge of Ratchet. It is apt to
affect the brain.
To enlarge the muscles of the arms
and legs, climbing up and down the
chimney Especially if the house is a
four storied one) three or four times
before breakfast, is cheap exercise
and gives voracious appetite.
4a Ear ache in children is a common
and vexatious complaint. To cure it
at once, bore a hole in the tympanum
with gimblet, and pour in oil and
things. If the child keeps on crying,
bore it all the way through to the 9TH
er ear.
Corns may be easily cured. The
most torturing corn can be at once ex-
tirpated as follows: Take a sharp
knife, and find the joint of the toe
whereon the corn resides, insert the
knife in the articulations, pry off the
toe, and throw it away. 1t will never
return again, unless your dog brings i,
back in his mouth. Patent applied
for.)
The habit of drinking can be cured
by giving the drinkers all they want
to drink, all the time. We know of
two in our own experience who were
cured in three weeks. One Jumped

language 10 express his patriotism:

they never would get him, and that ]
willingly and gladly would subscribe
live dollars to pay a messenger to warn
Coppic of his danger. As to John
Brown, he was one Of Gods noblemen,
and his memory would shine in our
history when that of a certain Demo
cratic Presidents and Ex-Presidents,
who had made him what he was, would
have pcrished!''
s'On Saturday, in, the House, a call
was made for the Personal Liberty
bill, in support Of which DR.. Witter, a
grey-haired Republican Representative
from Linn county, expressed, as his
opinion, "that the Constitution was
constantly held by Democrats as bat

bill in spite Of the Constitution and the
Supreme Court, and no two.legged
bloodhound should, if he could pre-
vent it, take a fugitive slave from
