cannot be ciassed rs a politician, nor
as Professional Office seeker, and
therefore may be regarded as very

of the people. Mr.. Hathaway has
resided in the State near q quarter OF

The Cut-0ii' lit XiCksburg.

The Vicksburg Herald of Sept.
Goth exhibits on its first page a map,
showing all the changes Of the river
bed about the pcninsular in front o..
that city since 1928 AMI although it
has shifted more than twice tho width
of the river north of the pcninauIar,
it has remained the same in front Of
EickSburg. In connection with this
map the Herald publishes the letter
of an old citizen, who does not agree
with Gen. Thompson that Nicksburg
will he left on lake, but that the
bed Of the river will be formed in the
direction of Nicksburg from the cut.
of, instead of washing out a bed in
the direction Of Delta. This would
leave the southwestern portion of the
CITY still on the bank of the river
and perhaps the river proper would
extend as far up as the elevator
That the cutoff will be made, ant
that very soon, there is no LANCER any
possibility of a doubt; and in on,
opinion the ground where the OLE

A DEATH DEALING FoUNTAIN.-A
letter from Waynesburg, Penn, to the
Allegheny Mail says:
On Mellow Ridge, in this county,
about four miles from Jacktown, and
on the farm belongingto Henry Miller,
there is what is called the "gas
spring" This is probably the greatest
curiosity in Pennsylvania. The water
is cold, but bubbles and foams as if
boiling. and the greatest wonder is
the inevitable destruction of life pro-
duced by inhaling the gas. No living
thing is to be found within circuit OF
100 yards of the spring. The very
birds, if they happen to fly over it,
drop dead. We experimental with u
snake Of the copper-head variety on
its destructive properties by holding
il few feet above The spring. IL
stretched dead in two inmates, II
will kill q human being in twenty
minutes. We stood over it five
minutes, when a dull, heavy. aching
sensation crept over US, and our eyes
began to swim. The gas which es
capes here is of the rankest kind o.
