curious formation, covering a large area
of ground. Here after passing through
from two to FIVE feet Of sand and clay,
rock is reached. This rock is full Of rents
and fssure., through which rise steam
and hot water. Above these crevices are
in places small pools Of water, which are
said to rise and fall as regularly as the
ocean tide with the change of the moon.
Ca the surface Of the marsh are seen small
ridges and hillocks. BY digging in them
an opening is always found. The ridge

these bony fish to the Phoebe market with
malice and forethought, in tho hopes Of
choking too death our entire Catholic
population. What sort Of trick next
