nAme Of Boutwell,, whose disposition to bind

this sPot. The Gesser spring will be called
after Admiral Porter, a. being good for little

llealing sources, that We can say with Samson,
! when he took honey ftom the lions .skoDk.'
Out Of the eater came forth meat, and out

| SAMSON AND AoRR1ssEY.
! By the war, tncre IL striking resemblance
between John Monisses 9oiug up to Saratoga
and samson going down to Timnath. Tho
story Of Samson, as state IN tho 1tv chapter
Of Judges, shows that be WAS both fighting
nan, a gaMester. and MAJ provided with
Saratoga trunk, as, for instance:
''He rent the youpE lion Al ho would have
rent kid, and he had nothing in his hand.''

cordingly. the first medical lectures wera de-
livc!ed about the springs. A good deal OF
mythology reters 10 springs, and poets are
