Why Naval Vessels Decay.

Captain George Frazer, of Boston, an
old sailor and experienced ship-build-
er, has addressed very interesting
letter to the Secretary of the Navy, ex-
pressive of his views as to the cause of
the speedy decay of the wooden ships
in our navy. While pointing out the
cause, he communicates the remedy.
He says the best wood is usually Ill our
ships. The fault is not in the wood,
but i'll the neglect to pickle the wood
with brine, 50 as to prevent the dry
rot resulting from the acids of the oak,
He says that there is a prejudice against
such picking, on the score of damp
ness supposed: to be thus superin-
duced. This is fallacy that has
cost us many a noble vessel. He
speaks of ships Of our navy, costing i'm
mense sums, and being models ofnaval
architecture, that III two or three years
were condemned because oil unsound
tlmbers, resulting from the neglect al
luded to. He names vessels in the
merchant marine that have stood more
than forty years, and are still sound
and serviceable. Such facts ought GER
tainly to command attention. Captain
Frazer thinks that we ought TO have
thirty or forty small men-of-war ships
built of wood, some steamers and some
sailing vessels, thoroughly equipped,
so as to be of service not only in war,
but III relieving vessels in distress.

Petroleum in Alabama.

A short time since rumor became cur
rent that petrole cum had been discovered
IN the northern part of Alabama. The
truth Of the story has row hsen definitely
ascertained, and the Mobile Register gives
the following 9 oeount
The discovery was made IN the new
town of Seottsboro, situated on the Mem
1! phis and Charleston Railroad, in jackson
county, about twenty. eig ght lniles west of
Stevenson. Mr.. Nj. W. Kerpy, a promi-
nsht and worthy oltisen of the place, was
! having we'll dug fof water; and st (. dis
tance of ten feet down his workmen came
upon a solid limestone rock, through
which they blasted ten feet. making the
depth OF the well twenty feetin all. After
the last blast at this depth had done its
Sork; a moet singular and disagreeahle
odor astonished the workmen as they were
going down, and when at the bottom thew.
to their surprise, found dark and thick
liquid flowing slowly into the we'll Mr..
kerby was summoned at once, and then
other cldzens were summoned, and among
themselves they soon decided that SCOTS.
boro had an oil well, beyond the possibiI,
ity Of question
by evening about one barrel Of heavy
petroleum had found its way into the we'll;
and then the inflow seemed to stop. So
soon as this was dipped out it started
again and rose to its first level fn about
twelve hours, when it ceased to flow as
before. 1t has since been dipped out
several times with tie same result in each
instance, showing the capacity or The we'll
to be about two barrels per day.
We never find petroleum immediately
in the coal fields, but invariably a short
distance below them, In what geologists
term the subcarbonlferous; and, as g. con-
sequence, the wells are always number
of miles away from where the coal crops
out. This rule may have led petroleum
hunters to overlook the region about Scottss
bore, for there the coal is close at hand;
but it lies high up in the mountains which
places the condition of affairs the same,
geologically, as in Pennsylvania and other
localities where oil is obtained.
Scottsboro, now the county seat Of ack-
son county, is quite a fourishing little
place, nearly al built within the last four
years. For some time it has been noted for
its quarries of superior building stone,
much of which has Gbeen shipped to the
large cities. 1t Is situated Ill g low, i,

the valley already named from the valley
of Tennessee River, which flows short
distance beyond. Eastward the valley

rocky, but the valleys, of which there are
many, are very fertile, though generally

Once on time there dwelt in our
sister city of Alton worthy but rather
irritable gentlemen, who was the host
of famous hotel there, known as the
Franklin House. Numerot,s citizens
daily drew their rations from his iUef-

Effects of the COld-Lake Ghamplain
Frozen Over.
From the Troy Times, Jan, ,.

Lake Champlain at it's widest part,
opposite Burlington, where the width
is ten miles, is frozen over. This is
the earliest date at which the broad
lake has ever been known to freeze
over. From table of the dates Of the
freezing over of the lake for fifty-seven
years past, we find that but four tines
III that period has the lake closed ear
lier than January Is. The earliest date
of the closing over of the ice is January
7, in 1867. The latest time of the
freezing of the broad lake on record, is
March t. Three or four winters in the
last tifty-eight years, the lake has not
been closed by ice at all. It has never
closed IN December before within the
memory of the oldest lnhabitant. The
average time OF closing is the last week
IN January, and the average duration
of the ice is two months.

4 Mystery.
By JOHN @. WHITTIER

By JOHN @. WHITTIER,
The river, bemmed with leaning trees.
Wound through its meadoWs green ,
low, blue line Of mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp, tall peak above them al
Clear into sunlight sprang;
I saw the river of my dreams,
The mountains that sang
No clue of memory led me on
But well the ways | knew
A feeling Of familiar things
With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise above It's CTag
Could lean the blasted plno ;.
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aiott its red engign.
So up the long aud shotn foothills
The mountain road should creep
So, green and low, the meadow fold
Its red-haIred kline asleep.
The river wound as il should wind
Then place the mountsins took
The white, torn tringes of their clouds
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet ne'er before that rivers rim
Was pressed by feet Of mine
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line,
i presence, strange at once and known,
Walked with me as my guide
The skirts OF some forgotten life
Trailed noiselegs at my side.
Was 1t dlm-rememhered dream
Or glimpse through icons old7
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never told.
But from the vision, ere it passed,
\ tender hope l drew,
And, pleasant as dawn Of Spring,
The thought within me grew
That love would temper every change,
And soften all surprise,
And, misty with the dreams of earth,
The hills Of heaven arise.
