near 1t will be ridge that does not set
tie at all. This unequal motion destroys
the buildings that stand upon the line
that separates the movable from the
firm land.
A hotel-"The Leicester Arms"-stand-
Ing near the salt works of Mr.. Thomp-
son, has It's lower story entirely sub
merged in one of the ponds that has
been formed by the subsistence Of the
earth. 1t stands, but has been abandoned
Near 1t are the ruins of several
brick buildings that have tumbled down
and are fast disappearing beneath the
water.
The cause Of this subsistence is very
apparent. The country, instead of being
underlaid with lodges of rock, has salt,
which is being dissolved by the fresh
water that runs over it. Much OF this
is pumped out, and probably large
quantity is carried by subterranean cur
rents to other places. The clay and
gravel that rest upon the salt gradually
settles down as portions OF it are dis
solved, and although, over hundred
feet in thickness, the effect is felt at the
surface.
wish to add a few words to this let
ter, already too lengthy, upon subject
of an entirely different character. A
short time before leaving Vermont | at

was Inclined to believe that real estate
OF much value might be obtained by the
Wilson's of America, heirs OF one Rob
ert Wilson, Earl OF Warwick" who
many years since died in England, leav-
ing large property. From inquiries
which made when landed, II am salts
fed that there is not the least possible
chance for any Wilson in America to
ever get an acre OF land or dollar in
money from this source, nor will the
Jennings heirs" be more fortunate than
the Wilson's.
do not propose to enter into discus
sion of the question, but give 1t as my
opinion that every one who has paid q
dollar for Scrip" or for the investiga'
ton of these claims" had better charge

make no more investments in these
worthless schemes A. oh.

LOUISIANA. - Gen. Sheridan has
promptly followed up the completion Of
the registration lists in Louisiana by his
order for the election OF delegates to the
convention to form a new state constitu-
ton, under which the state will apply
for readmission. He appoints two days
for the election, September q and %,
and directs that the final revision of the
lists o. voters shall be commenced two
weeks previously. The number of dele
gates is fixed at SO, and they have been
distributed 20 each parish in proportion
to its number of voters. The provisions
of the order regulating the details of the
election contain nothing unusual, ex-
cept a section which declares that
should any violence or fraud be perpe-
trated at any Of the voting precincts on
the day of the elections, the offender will
be punished in the severest manner, and
the election within these precincts will
be held over again under the protection
of the United States troops" And the
unrepentant and rebellious Louisianians
have had enough experience with Phil
Sheridan to know that when he tells
them this he means it.

SUICTDE.-Mark P. Laid, representa-
tive from Worcester in the General AS
sembly committed suicide of Saturday

DEATH BY MoRPHINE.-O Thursday
morning of last week, Lowell Porter of
Lyndon died from the effect Of taking
too much morphine. During several
years past Mr.. Porter has been y great
sufferer from asthma, having the disease
in its most aggravated form, seldom
having the privilege of lying down to
sleep. Recently he has been in the habit
of taking morphine for relief, and by its
use his life has been rendered more COM
Portable. Last Wednesday night, having
unusual distress, his wife gave him an
ordinary dose of morphine, but it not
affording the relief expected, he soon
called for more, which his wife was re-
luctant to give, but being assured that
the first dose had no effect, she gave him
the second. A few minutes he called for
more, which he was positively refused.
He was determined to have more, when
his wife fearing he would take too much
gave him a very small third dose. She
then retired, and toward morning heard
noise in the room occupied by MIR.
Porter, and immediately went out and
found he had fallen from his chair to the
floor, and was lying on his face. Neigh
bors were called in-the doctor called
and every effort made to resuscitate him.
He manifested q momentary conscious
ness several times during the next fore
noon, but died about noon.
