The full extent of the siitet of water can not yet be definitely estimated, but it is of remarkable size. The old pit, which is part of its bed, has not been worked since i ')0, and long before inl up to thai time all the territory was drilled and ininsd for salt and coal. Iinnunse (juantitiea of both had been taki n nut, leaving acres upc ii acres of cavity under the hill, which s"ije th( 11 has bee n closed up in 1 filling in -with water that had no met lis of egress, all the pits liaving originally liecn reached by shafts. The largest of these old pits wa? tlie cue that the miners encautered. It is sev- eral yards above the present mine, and had the blast broken the wall orllooral! the men would have b^tn drowned, and the water, rushing in a ll md out cl the n ;w pit, would have washed away the railroad and dwellicgs. It has already submerged them, to seme extent. After tapping the lake the woikmen made the opfeiiiug larger by de- grees, so that they could see in. I'.iaziiig tonhes were thrown in, n 1 small rates with tires built upon lliem were tent far across the I ndergrouud waters. The eye was in- capable of fathoming the limits of tlie in- terior, but by sounding anil geo'ogij.'il cal- culations it is pretty weil settled that the water underlies the greater part o: the hill, £11.1 the hill is about two miles kn^ f nd half a mile wide. Navigation upon the lake by n.eans of a skifi' is as yet impossiiile, the water be iig withLn a few feet of ihe roof of tire pit.

Mr. Baron Graham was one of the .Judges who sat on the English Binch in ^!fe early part of this century. He was distiogaiahed lor his remarkable politeness, and for hav- ing sentenced more unfortunate human be- ings to death than any other .Tudge who ever presided at the County Ass'z-s. iHe in-' variably exemplified his peculiar notions of politeness even in the v^ryact of sentencing poor creatures to death. His manners on such occasions would often have been laugh- able but for the deeply affectina; situation in which the unhappy prisoners stood. A very singular instance of the Baron's excessive and ill-timed politeness occurred on one oc- casion after the close cf the trials at a Coun- ty .Assize. Nine unhappy men were all ap- pointed to receive sentence of death for bur- glary, highway robbcriiS, and other offiaca;. It Eo happened, however, that on entering the names of the unfortunate parties, after being convicted, on his own slip of paper, Baron Graham omitted the name cf one piisone.' The nine men wore brought up to receive judgment, and the eight whose names were on his paper wei e severally sen- tenced to death. They thenciuittcd the bar.

A Help for the Ecaf. .\ yoUiig lady of iMillford, Mass., whose auricular nerves are so imperfect as to it.ake i the aid of an audiphone, the dentiphone, and ' similar instrunn i.:s, of no practical benefit, 1 has discovereil a methoel of hearing by com- I munication with the muscles of the throat of the perse u talking.
