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.
