IMPURE WATER.

Set pitcher Of iced water in room
inhabited, and in few hours it will
have absorbed from tho room nearly
all the rcspired and perspircd gases of
tho room the air of which will have
become purer, but water is utterly
filthy. This depends on the fact the
water has the faculty of condensing,
and thereby absorbing all the gases ;
which it does without increasing its
capacity to contain these gases. At
ordinary temperature pint of water
will contain pint of carbonic acid
and several pints of ammonia. The
capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the temperature to that of ice. Hence
water kept in the room awhile, is al
ways unfit for use and should be often
renewed whether it becomes warm or
not, And for tho same reasons the
water in pump stock should all be
pumped out in the morning before any
is used. That which has stood in the
pitcher over night is not fit for coffee
water in the morning. Impure water
is moro injurious to the health than
impure air, and every person should
provide tho means of obtaining fresh
water for domestic uses.

The Wonderful Spring at Andersons

The Wonderful Spring at Anderson
sa vile. T
We copy the following from tue
Vermont Chronicle: Mr.. &c. Grant,
who was member Of battery A, of
the llth Vermont regiment, and WHO
spent four months within the stock.
ade at Andersonville, gave us a histo-
ry Of the wonderful spring that burst
out there that we never remember to
have seen in print. Every o.iei we
presume, is aware that the pen in
which the prisoners were kept enclo-
sed was in a swamp, through which
ran sluggish brook, and from this
brook the prisoners received their sup
| ply Of water. This water was never
fit TO drink in its best state, but in ad-
ditiOn to its natural unfitness, it ran
down by the rebel camp before it EN-
tered the siockade, Pnd received the
cXcrement and filth from that. This.
Of course, rendered il iptolerable.
| About the middle Of August, 1864,
or perhaps month and half after
the Vermont boys entered the stock
ade, there came one day a very heavy
thunder shower, OF some forty mipntes'
duration. And from that time
spring of pure water burst forth from
u sand bill near; the dead line, and
flowed in such quantities rs to supply
the entire camp Of some $4,000 or 3O,-
900 prisoners. Some OF the mon look
ed upon this as direct interposition
of God for their salvation; and alth'o
very remarkable for two reasons
the source from whence it cams--a
dry sandy knoll-and the purity and
the quantity OF the water; it being SO
unlike all other water in that vicinity,
even that foiihd ih wells This spring
continued to send forth its pure foun-
tain during the remainder of'the time
our prisoners work kept there, and for
aught our informant knows, doesto
this day. Has the day Of miracles
passed?

Autumn In Nevada.

We havo no bowers with vines o'errun
And rich with fruit Of purple bloom,
No gaudy flowers to court the sun
To faunt above the Summers tomb;
No sunset hazel copse have we,
Nor chestnut grove with treasure hung;
No berry, crimson -hued, we SEQ
Cleaning dark holly Leaves among
No towering forests here ariso
with dazzling colors brightly deckcd,
All tinted Ger with richest dyes,
With glstening sunbeams warmly Aeckod-
Filled with strange, and dreamy light,
Perfumed with odors sweet and rare-
Nor robes ofgarments dazzling bright.
Shivering anon, all brown and bare.
Yet we have scenes as fair as these,
To HIM who with kindly eye
The various forms Of Nature secs,
She rises here in majesty.
She wears no crown ofgolden grain, ..
Nor holds within her clasping hands
The sccntless flowers that long had lain
AZ, hueiess on sweet Summers lands.
But here steruer mein she wears,
Her sceptcr is no glittering gem
The pine tree is the rod she bears
Tho snow.wroath is her diadem,
Her palaces the mountains grim,
Tho lowering cloud her messenger,
While from the lone cayerns, still and dim,
Comes forth the wind, her trumpetcr.
This is the form Of Autumn drear, ..
R, Tho form she wears to darkened eyes
That turn from light to shadows near
And count them as they darkly rso.
They see that not deeper CLEAN

Bestows her richest treasures hero:
For gold ofgrain, she givcs us light;
For bloom offruit, the purple shade
That doth our distant hills bedght
With hues by fairy fingers laid.
There is beauty DER the land,
Intangible, yet plainly seen,
Fading before the grasping hand,
Yet ever lighting up the scone.

While Heavenly mercics DER us pour'

Turn upward to the changeiul sky,
Whore cleaning hues in wondrous maze
For Autumn forms canopy.
On crimson fields float clouds fwhite,
On azure those OF sheeny gray,

Tint, as with gold, each passing ray.

vs About five o'clock in the afternoon,
while some carpenters were engaged
in covering a tank Of oil at the Getty
well on Bennehof Run, sparks from

. the wind directly over where they
were working, and one Of the men,
npprehensive Of dangor, went to no
tify the snperintend NJ of the fact,
but he had not proceeded far before
tho oil ignircd. Tho men on top of
the tank beat q hasty retreat and es-
eaped without injury, and in II few
minutes tho tank burst and an i'm
mense sheet Of flame and smoke shot
mp into the heavens.
As tho fiery streams rolled past, it
hacked everything 10 its course, tank

iippts Of tho valley rushed TO the hill.
