A LIVELY WELL.-The Newport
Qnd.) Hoosier State says that "the
well at Lodi, Fountain county, was
bored last week some thirty-three and
a half feet deeper, of which twenty five
feet was through gray sandstone, with
thin strata Of limestone. TIE last eight
feet and six inches was white compact
crystalline limestone, or marble, hard
enough to mark glass.-The well before
was discharging from two thousand to
three thousand barrels of white sulphur
water. This deepening increased the
flow wonderfully; and it is estimated
that the water discharged would amount
to from two hundred thousand to two
hundred and fifty thousand gallons per
day, thus more than doubling the dis
charge of the famous Grenelle we'll at
the Hotel DIES Invalides in Paris.''

BRIGHT PROMISE OF A HAPPY MINOR
rAL1rY.-Last night, there occurred in
this city, one of those incidents which
occasionally happen to cheer unfortu,
nate humanity in this vale of tears, and
serve to support it, even under the most
dire infrmities. Little Susan Brill,
daughter of Mr.. Lewis Brill, who was
severely burned on Thursday, the 18th
of last January, at Mr.. Allen G. Har-
mons, laid at that gentleman's residence
for seven long weeks, suffering, though
tended with the most assiduous care,
untold miseries. Last night at one o.
clock she family called to one OF the at
tendants, several of whom were IN her
room, and who listened and heard DIS
tinctly what she said, and asked to be
dressed, and that her clothing should
all be of white. for that she saw innu-
merable angels, children other own age,
robed in garments of snowy whiteness,
floating in the air, who had told her
that she must be dressed like them, and
Join them in an hours time, and that
she had promised to do SO. AT two
O'Clock she died, and the sweet smile
on her face, as she peacefully breathed
her last, was happy assurance to her
watching friends that her promise was |
fulfilled. Gazette.

WEALTH AND POVERTY OF OUR
STATEsMEN.-Jeferson died comparative
" poor. Indeed, if Congress had not
purchased his library, giving him five
times its value, he would with difficult
ty have kept the wolf from the door,
Madison saved his money, and was COM
paratively rich. TO add to his fortune,
however or rather that Of his widow,
Congress purchased his manuscript pit pa
pers, and paid $50, 900 for them. James
Monroe, the Sixth President of the
United States, died so poor that his re-
mains found resting place through the
charity of his friends. They remain in
a cemetery, but no monument marks the
spot where they repose. John Quincy
Adams left some $4,000, the result of
industry, prudence, and Inheritance.
He was man of method and economy.
Martin Van Buren, died rich. Through
out his political life he studiously look
ed out for his own interest. Henry
Clay left very handsome estate. 1t
probably exceeded 100000. He was
prudent manager and scrupulously
honest man. James X. Polk left about
$4,000, $4,000 Of which was saved
from his Presidency offour years. Dan
lei Webster squandered some millions
in his lifetime, the product of his pro-
fessional speculation. He died leaving
his property to his children and his
debts to his friends. The former sold
for less than $4,000, the latter exceed
ing s25o,ooo. John Tyler left $1,000.
Before he was President he was bank
rupt. In office, he husbanded his means,
and then married rich wife. Zachary
Taylor left 100000. Willard Fillmore
is wealthy man, and keeps his money
in a strong box. 1t will not be squan-
dered in speculation and vice. Frank
lin Pierce saved some $4,000 from his
term of service. James Buchanan, who
is bachelor, and saves all he gets, is
estimated to- be worth at least $780,
900.
