TIE NOLCANO.-We have nothing
new concerning the volcanic symp-
toms published about Bald mountain.
Mr. Russell, of Newport. informed
us on Saturday that he had read a
letter., written by a reliable gentle
man residing in close proximity to
the embryo crater, to relative in
Newport, in which the writer spoke
of the trem orousness OF The earth to
the extent of Earring the cnbbard
ware in his house, of a continual
rumbling noise in the mountain and
smoke constantly arising from it's
summit. The writer stated that the
people of the locality were alarmed
and making preparations to leave.
But all of this has already been pub
lished. and until some better proof
of its volcanic nature is exhibited
the theory OF onr friend ':Sawbones''
should allay undue excitement. a

TIE PoSD. AFor years the pond
back OF the GAZETTE Office has been
an eve sore to the citizens Of Morris
town. Had it been a town where
people often get sick. it would have
borne all the blame of the sickn IS
and death of the community. Owing
to kind Providence the pond can.
not be Blamed with such evils. But
we wonder from the subject. Our
pond is gone. Thanks to our friends,
David Pence and DIR Coulter. They
placed a siphon' in the pond two
weeks ago, and connected to it
enough Of pipe to extend from the
pond across Main street, and con.
trary to the predictions Of all crOak-
ers, the little siphon gradually drew
the water off. 1t is said Mr.. Pence
had intended to start to New York
fer goods and DIR. Coulter had made
arrangements to move to Warrens-
burg some ten days ago, but they
became SO much interested in their
scientific experiment, they stayed
to see it through. They deserve
and have the thanks of all our pcO-
pie. d "a q II a

SCIENTIFIC, CURIOUS AND UsEFUL-The
common cat tail Of our swamps, scientifi ,ally
known as typha latlfoliG, is susceptible of being
used as food, for which purpose it is highly
esteemed in some countries. The plant is per-
ennial and propagates by the formation of un-
defgr9und stems containing much starchy mat
ter. In southern Russia the young shoots
when they pash up in the spring are cut aud
ted up as asparagus is for our market and
sold IN all the markets. Boiled as asparagus is
boiled, and season ed with salt and SPICE it Is
pronounced quite delicious by travellers who
have paItaken of it. This plant is found in
more or less abundance in swampy places all
over the United States, and may be very easily
already. e
