A LAKE OF PITCH. 'l"t'- list ltlJ!‘iil|<.'l' of S-ii/'i:.'ia/i's J0!ll'.’trll con- tititis :.:: :'.4'i">'.l:li of that rciii:trltztbl...~ L-tii'iorsity, " the ;i:«:'i lake of 'l‘rinid:id.” W. l lt is sit- u:t*.«.-nl on the twstt.-r-i sl:o1'c of the l.=l:ind, near ll‘-U/\'ill.-;:o of lie llrayc, which is built on a l'--ii-.i«‘i.-.'iui of‘ hard pitch. The lake stands above l::l:i vill.t;;o about ‘Jtl feet on a. pl.itc:i.u, is t'lI'('Ul-ti‘, anv half a. mile in (ll:ll!l1'l'.‘l', stir- t'(i|llttl~J«l on all rides with a. dense forest. [ts hit-e is i-it-:i-st-ch.-tl with a network of water L'll'-l.l1llI'i.~', whirl: gives it the appearance of mar- blcd p.-.1cr The surface of the pitch is retty hard, and when the writer channels are r , it can be passed over on foot. In the centre of the lake the pitch appears to be constantly and silently rising up en masse, and what is very singular, numerous pieces of wood are con- stantly coming up to the surface frotn below. These are from one to several feet in length, and are forced by the peculiar pressure to as- some an upright position, so as to appear all over the lake like stumps of trees protruding through. it is believed, that this pitch lake is boiling slowly below. b'trc:tius of sulpliurctted liydrog:-n gas fri-qucntly issue front beneath, the tciiipcratttro of which is 97 deg. Fitll. The centre of the lake is somewhat plastic, but around the sides the pitch is very hard. The water in the strezuns and small pools is pure and soft; fish are numerous in them, and alli- gators inake them their liabitation. Large springs of petroleum are in its vicinity, and about a mile northward there is it bed of brown coal cropping out upon the sea shore‘. .it is about 20- feet thick, and appears ti-om its dip as if it passed under the lake. "ie pitch is ofgreat depth, for it has been dug into 18 feet in many places. It is believed to bo usab- mcrgcd bed of vegetable matter, undergoing slow distillation by volcanic action underneath. This store of bitumen appears to be inexhaust- ible. It is used with wood for fuel by the American steamers plyin on the Orinoco river. Mixed with pebbles an and it makes ex- cellent pavements, and ground ﬂoors of houses. With ten per cent. of rosin oil, it makes a good pitch for ships The Earl of Dundonald has parcliased a tract of 26 acres of it, and has instituted experiments to discover, it possible, some means for making it it substitute for in- dia rubber and gotta pcrcha water-proof or Vlll(?atlll'l.t!tl l';ibi'it-s; and 0 has already made some vulcaniz--d cloth. which, from appearances, , Liids f.iir of futui-c success. f such tl result] crown his ctl'):°t.z—and every person must wish ‘ l

iim succcss—snch an inexhaustible supply of! cheap material as this lake furnishes will soon 5 bring down the price of such goods in our coun- try. and thus confer unspeakable beneﬁts upon ; our people.

Sl‘.\l.\l no ltci-'oini.—-The property of the l clergy is being Htrltl at prices much higher than ! those fixed by the (iovcrtiinciit. ln the province of t‘:iccras, ti lot. of which the price was 7tl.000 ‘

Lord Paliricrston stands at the prcsvsiit nio- ment itt it proud and vtiviahle position. \V|;ip3 tiiiwr state-suit-n, ctnitiv-it for their wisdom and t‘.\pt riciice, had quail--d under the dilliculties th it .'inrrotitidI.-d the nation, he tiever faltcretl t'or 1| inomt-nt; but during: the very dirltcst. period, with unsliuken purpose, steadily adhc.-ed It) the one end and aim of his administration, the main- romance of the ancient honour and renown of the country, the humiliation of the pride of Rus- sia, and the coiisolislatioii of the French alliance, O

No r--tnedy ever invented has been so success- ful as the great worm medicine of Dr. M‘Lane. All who have used it have been equally astonished and delighted at its wonderful energy and efficacy. 'l‘o publish all the testimonials in its favour would ﬁll volumes ; we must therefore content ourselves with a brief abstract of: few of them.

Japht-t C. Allen, ot'.~\mboy, gave a dose toe child of6 years old, and it brought away 83 worms.

lo soon after gave another dose to the same child, \\‘lll(‘.ll brou-_v_ht away 50 more, making [33 worms in about 12 hours.

Andrew Downing, of Cranberry township, Venaugo county, gave his child one tea-spoonful, and she pII!t.L'(l 177 worms. Next morning, on repetition of the dose, she passed‘ 113 more.

Jon.-itlian llouahman. of West Union, Park county, la. writes, that be is unable to supply tho ilt-manil, as the people in his neighbourhood say, after a trial of the others, that noneis equal to Dr. .\l‘Lano’s Vermifnge.

Messrs. 1). 8:. .l. W. Colton, ofwinchester, Ind. happened last spring to bet some of this Vermi- Alter selling a few battles, the demand became so great tiir it that their stock was soon exhausted. They state that it has prodiiced the best ellert wherever used, and is very popular among the peop e.

U? nrchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. 1ll‘Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and take none Dr. l\l‘Lane’s Verniituge, also his Celebra- ted Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and Canada. Sold wholesale and retail by \V. R. WATSON.

Mr Dean SiR:—Yours of the 17th is received \\'c did not for a tnoiiicnt anticipate a defeat, and for the day we fcltsad—rc.1lly dislieartencd.

After a thou;_vhi, we saw that the event was in accordance with allour experience during the pro- gress of the reform. Every success followed by a reverse—every reverse succeede by a reverse greater than any which had preceeded it.

Our laws of l8l6—striking down the license system—though very mild in its penalties, (from one to twenty dollars,)was a great triumph, but was followed by a great reaction; many thought the cause fairly stranded. Then came my clec. tion as Mayor, in April. 1851. followed by the Maine Law.
