Way Sact Laxe is so Satt.—Mr. Greeley writes from the center of Mormondom, as to the cause of the saltness of Salt Lake, thus . That this lake should be salt is no anomaly. All large bodies of water into which streams discharge themselves, while they have severally no outlet, are or should be salt. If ome such is fresh that is an anomaly indeed. Lake Utab probably receives as much saline matter as Salt Lake, but she discharges it through the Jordon and remains berself fresh ; while Salt Lake, having no issae, save by evaporation, is probably the saltest body of water on earth. The ocean is comparatively fresh; even the Mediterranean at Legboro is not half so salt. I am told that three barrels of this water yield a barrel of salt ; that seems rather strong, yet its intense saltness, no one who has not had it in his eyes, his mouth, his nostrils, can realize. You can no more sink init 500 . then in a clay bank ; but a very little of it in your langs would suffice to strangle you. You make your way in froma hot, rocky beach over a chaos of volcanic basal that is trying to the feet, but ata depth ofa yard or more you havea fine sand bottom, and here the bathing is delightful.

Aw Iytemperate Fox.--A correspondent of the “Limerick Examiner” states that he was lately dining with a celebrated Foxhunter, when instances of the sagacity of the fox were related. The host. as a climacter. ic, said that be had a fox which nothing could exceed in cunning, and which be offered to wager $20 would “put down’ any gentleman at the table in drinking whiskeypunch, A young gentlemam accepted the wager, and in a few minutes Reynard, perfectly tame and almost amiable, was brought . in by a servant and placed on the table.— Two stiff tumblers were mixed ; and Reynard’s being poured into a saucer, he lapped it up, as it was remarked, “jin less than no time.” A simultaneous consumption of the hot beverage was effected by his competitor. Five tumblers followed with similar effects. As the seventh was about be concocted, the gentleman declared Seis have no more, aad was satisfied to yield the palm of intemperence to bis long-nosed friend.

Way Sact Laxe is so Satt.—Mr. Greeley writes from the center of Mormondom, as to the cause of the saltness of Salt Lake, thus . That this lake should be salt is no anomaly. All large bodies of water into which streams discharge themselves, while they have severally no outlet, are or should be salt. If ome such is fresh that is an anomaly indeed. Lake Utab probably receives as much saline matter as Salt Lake, but she discharges it through the Jordon and remains berself fresh ; while Salt Lake, having no issae, save by evaporation, is probably the saltest body of water on earth. The ocean is comparatively fresh; even the Mediterranean at Legboro is not half so salt. I am told that three barrels of this water yield a barrel of salt ; that seems rather strong, yet its intense saltness, no one who has not had it in his eyes, his mouth, his nostrils, can realize. You can no more sink init 500 . then in a clay bank ; but a very little of it in your langs would suffice to strangle you. You make your way in froma hot, rocky beach over a chaos of volcanic basal that is trying to the feet, but ata depth ofa yard or more you havea fine sand bottom, and here the bathing is delightful.

Aw Iytemperate Fox.--A correspondent of the “Limerick Examiner” states that he was lately dining with a celebrated Foxhunter, when instances of the sagacity of the fox were related. The host. as a climacter. ic, said that be had a fox which nothing could exceed in cunning, and which be offered to wager $20 would “put down’ any gentleman at the table in drinking whiskeypunch, A young gentlemam accepted the wager, and in a few minutes Reynard, perfectly tame and almost amiable, was brought . in by a servant and placed on the table.— Two stiff tumblers were mixed ; and Reynard’s being poured into a saucer, he lapped it up, as it was remarked, “jin less than no time.” A simultaneous consumption of the hot beverage was effected by his competitor. Five tumblers followed with similar effects. As the seventh was about be concocted, the gentleman declared Seis have no more, aad was satisfied to yield the palm of intemperence to bis long-nosed friend.
