al have Just returned from visit to place
short distance from here, whore discovery has
recently been made which appears to me to be
very curious. A farmer about six miles from
here, was boring for water, and had penetrated
the earth one hundred and fifteen feet, when up
on drawing out his auger. he heard deep qurg-
ling noise al the bottom of the hole he had made
ard Immediately column of gass burst from it
with the most terrific violence, rising to the height
of seventy feet, carrying with il stones and pecies
OF clay the size OF a pigeons egg. and attended,
with noise very similar to that of letting Off
steam from Il large steamboat. This continued
with una ba,ed violence for thir:y-six hours, when
It moderated a little, and pipe was inserted in
the hole with stop-cock. Tho proprietor has
attached to this small pipes, which convey the gas
INTO his house, and light it in :he most briI.ian,
manner imaginable. ltappears to be hydrorrn ras.

to apply at the time"


Never heard of this wonder before. Is the
fountain" there yet! Any farmer who lives in
"six miles Of Fort Smith, and takes our paper.
please tell US, for it becomes us not to be igno-
rant concerning such a curiosity. We rather
suspect the worthy Llcutcnan,'s .fountain'' is in
a horn.

"Henry CIay bougM by Lhe Bunk--Everv BODY
knows or ought to know that Henry Clay was
once most violent opponent of the United States
Bank. In ISL he made IA masterly spcecl
against the eXpodency and consltutionaty of n
bank. Well, what then Soon after he was ell
ected attorney TO the bank and received SEVEN
TEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for his scrUi

or since he has been the advocate of United
