AN EXTRAORDINARY LAKE.-In Me-
vada, near Bagtown, there is a small
lake, the surface of which is covered,
like ice, withialkali to the depth of ten
to twenty inches, almost perfectly white
and pure. The water, which is slightly
impregnated with it, does not seem to be
particularly injurious to man or beast.
1t is sometimes SO abundant as to des-
troy vegetation, though it is the very
substance our farmers are ever ready to
add to the soil as a fertilizer, in the
shape of leeched or unleeched wood
ashes. A traveller declared, after eating
several meals in succession at the over
land stations, Of soda biscuit and rancid
bacon. and partaking freely of this wa
ter, that he was fast turning into min
iature soap-factory.

LcoK HERE, GIKts.-My pretty little
dears, you are no more fit for matrimo-
ny than pullet is to look after family
of fourteen chickens. The truth is, my
dear girls, you want, generally speak
ing, more liberty and less fashionable
restraint; more kitchen and less parlor;
more exercise and less sofa; more max
ing puddings and less piano; more frank
ness and less mock modesty. / like a
buxom, bright eyed, rosy checked,
bouncing lass who can darn stockings,
make her own frocks, mend trousers,
command regiment of pots and pans,
and shoot wild duck as well as Duchess
of Marlboro or the Queen ofSpain; I;
and be lady withal in the drawing
room. But as for your piping, moping,
screwed up, wasp wasted, putty faced,
music numbering, novel devouring
daughters of fashion and idleness, with
your consumption-soled shoes, and silk
stockings, you won't do for wives and
mothers. Mrs. Ellis Lectures. W. pa

A wonderful Invention.

The Wheeling I1iteIligencer says the
Rev. Ashby Stephens, well known
throughout West Virginia as Methodist
minister, now teacher at Point Pleas
ant, has invented q clock which may
justly be ranked among the remarkable
inventions of the times. 1t is not, ac-
curately speaking, clock, but an at
tachmeht which may be Joined to any
clock. 1t calculates with scientific pre-
cision the rising and setting Of the sun,
moon and stars,-Shows the changes in
the moon, and calculates all the eclipses.
1t shows the right ascension and des.
cension of the stars, the place of the sun
and moon in the zodiac, and in what
constellation, with many other of the
celestial phenomena. Thus it will do for
one hundred years to come. AT the end
of that time it would have to be stopped,
so as to lose day to make the calcu-
lation correct for the next hundred
years-a necessity growing out of the
fact, understood by scientific men, that
calendar time does not absolutely cores
pond with actual time, so that in a
century the former gains a day. Mr..
Stephens, who seems TO have genius
for mechanism, made his contrivance
throughout with his own hands. He
calls it an n''astronomical clock, land in
tends claiming. a patent for it.

THE GEYsERs OF NEvADA.-About 20
miles from Carson city, Nevada, are
some remarkable mineral springs called
the Steamboat Springs, from the noise
they make, which sounds like several
steamers discharging steam. These
springs cover an area of about three
acres. The water is boiling hot, and the
escaping steam can be seen for several
miles before sunrise, and the atmos-
phere in the vicinity is filled with the
smell of sulphur. The water cures the
rheumatism effectually. There are Gre
vices in the rocks where the water can
be seen boiling at a depth of thirty feet.
There is also a spring which is called
the Breathing Spring. 1t is shaped
much like well. The water recedes to
the depth of ten or twelve feet, and re-
mains calm for five minutes, and then
commences to boil, and rises until it
shoots in the air above ten feet, and in
five minutes it begins to recede.

From Wickenburg.
UNFORTUNATE ArFAiR-MAN Smor.

From Sheriff Moore, who has just arrived Tn Prescott from Wickenhurg, we learn that. on last Saturday evening, l.. A. Stevenson. Of Walnut Grove, after being shot at once by James Wright, returned the fire, hitting Mir. Wright in the right breast with bullet fired out Of a sX-shooter. The bullet followed the breast bone and ribs, and lodged in Wright's lelt side. When Sheriff Moore left Wicken- burg, Wright was alive, but little hopes were entertained that he would get over it. There being no Justice of the Peace in Wickenburg. at the request of Sheriff Moore, the witnesses were examined before Governor Mccormick. who attcsts that the witnesses were duly sworn and the proceedings conducted in legal iorm. Most of the witnesses testified that Wright fired the first shot. 4 jury was em- paneled to determine the case, and returned the following finding:
 WfcKENDrRG, Dec. Q, 1867. We, the jury cmpaneled to try the case of The People vs. l.. R. Stevenson. charged with having shot one James Wright on the night of December sth, loG7, do find the defendant L. k. Stevenson, not guilty, but justiiiaJle iu the shooting.
