decision on the case presented for their opin-
ion by the Legislature, that the grant made
to St. Johns College by the act Of 1874, Of
the annual sum Of seventeen hundred and fill

treasury, is in the nature Of a valid and bind

REPORTED GREAT DIsCoyERY.-Upon the
authority of a Mr.. Selim 4. Woodworth,
and various natives and Indians, who have
long been residents in the locality, and who
pretend to speak authoritatiyely upon the
subject. the Prensa, of Havana, Of the 18th
inst, reports the existence of an immense
Salt Lake in the interior of Lower Calitor-
MIA, of which hitherto the world has been
Ignorant. Mr.. Woodworth furnishes details
touching its salt and guane productions,
with descriptions of the surrounding coun-
try, animals inhabiting it. &c.
This lake is something less than one hun
dred miles in length and twenty-five IN
width. 1t was first discovered by Captain
Scammon, OF the Ocean Bird. Other mas
tiers of vessels had since visited it, and
youch for the correctness of the details pub
lished in La Prensa.
The mouth of the river leading to this
lake is situated little distance North OF the
9th parallel of latitude. The channel Is
difficult Of ingress in bad weather, and re-
quires much care in its navigation. In high
tide the bar is covered by three tathoms OF
water, which depth diminishes gradually
until within a short distance of the lake.
For this reason only small vessels can nayl-
gate it with facility.
1t is said there are five islands in the lake
covered with the richest deposits of the BEST
GuANo-that the best SALT abounds-that
numbers of WHALES frequent the lake, &c.
We do not know if these statements can
be relied on. We certainly have our doubts.
1t is strange that this reported lake was
never discovered or heard Of before.
