MISCELLANY.
Uncommon Perseverance .
The Worcester (Ohio) paper in
forms us that Joseph Eicker, hav
ing penetrated through a rock four
hundred and forty feet, has at length
obtained salt water I'o Itrong that
ioo gallons will yield a bulhel of
salt. An idea is prevalent in the
western States, that salt water may
be obtained at any place by pene
trating the earth to a certain depth,
and that when the crust as they
term it, which covers the fait ft rata,
is broken, the water will rife to the
surface. It rnuft be con felled that
fads and experiments feetn in a
measure to warrant the corre&nefs
of this theory. Salt water has
been found in a great many places,
where no indications of it appeared
upon the surface, by boring thro*
the rock to a certain depth. The
vast salt works upon the Great
Kenhawa,are fuppiied from 300
perforations through rock to the
depth of from 150 to 400 feet.
SuccefsFulattempts havebeen made
In various other A gentle
man from Lake .Erie, informs us
that an individual has expended a
bout 4,000 dollars, ia boring upon
the banks of that Lake. He pen
etrated more than 300 feet, when
his means were exhausted, but so
strong was the confidence of suc
cess on penetrating to the depth of
400 feet, that a fubfeription was
filling to enable him to complete
it. We do not remember to have
heard of any inftanceb* fore, where
the experiment was perfevtred in
.re the depth of 440 feet.
Female r niportaton.
A German who fettled in the
United States, is on a visit to his
’ native country to procure wives for
his countrymen who relkle here;
the succefsful refelt of his labors are
—twelve pretty young girls, who
hav: conven ed to be rraafported to
America, and be united to their
countrymen here, who anxiously
await the arrival, determined not
to espouse any but their own coun
trymen.
As the following'appears in the
vicinity from whence the young
Gfrman females emigrate, we may
reafenably anticipate uncommon
fecundity, and it fhetvs the a
bility with which this agent has ex
ecuted his comniiflion :
“ A married couple at Wcrtem
berg,(Germany) has had 38 child
ren—23 boys, and 15 girls !”
It L scarcely conceivable what
purpose it can answer, to represent
8t Augustine in Florida, as a po
fid on rcfembling Gibraltar. It is
nothing more than a quadrangle,
wi-h regular ballicns at the angles;
its piincipal flrength confiftsin the
excellence of the stone of which it
is composed, quarried in the adja
cent iitiindof Anastasia—the town
which does not contain more than
3,000 persons, is also surrounded
by a wall,-which with the houses
are of similar materials with the
fort, but it is no way fuperiorto
