The Boston Traveler relates a cir nimstauce ia the life of a former merchant of that city, who has passed airiT from this life. leaving at least one item that looks well oa his record. His name was Samuel Brown, and he owned at one time a large piece of vacant land, which the city desired t obtain far some public buildings. The Mayor of Boston called on Mr. Urown, and asked him his price for the estate. The answer was, "thirty The Mayor thousand ; dollars." be acceptwouid thought the price able, but required a bond from Mr. Brown, giving the city thirty days refusal of it. The old gcutleman replied, "I shall give no writ tea ' bond, my word is my bond." Twenty-eigh- t days afterwards the Mayor waited upon him again, and nai l ho had come to complete the sale of the land. Mr. Brown wanted to know what ho expected to pay for it.

The last named specimen lived more than an hour, and some of tne others for over half an hour in this mixture. There is a small black fly which infests the lake in countless numbers, and some suppose that tlm fly is evolved from the animal lifo in the waters; baa this is strongly disputed by others. The result of these investigatioas will be forwarded to the Smithsonian Institute, Dr. Henry having written to Dr. Park of the Deseret University for information concerning Salt Lake. Former soundings have given 60 ft depth; these may possibly have been erroneous.. , There are two theories about the variation in the depth of inland bodies of water, one based on the rain fall, and the other on upheavals and depressions of the lake : beds. i The Normal Institute at Salt Lake has been productive of vast benefit to the school teachers who attended, and they are all enthusiastic with praise of the able lecturers who instructed them. lowo, "I have since been offered si Yesterday the Professors, the stu ity thousand for it; and do you dents and a number of their friends now o sell it to you for half went for, a trip tin Salt Lake, with a that sum" Tho Mayor said ho had view of combining science and pleasMr. Brown's agreement, and when aakid where bis bond was, replied, uthiug, frisky, euddling, osculating ure.

Mr. Hill stated that last TaeBday the I oil inns were at work harvesting, and theequaws gleaniDg in the fields, without the slightest intimation that aoy excitement was raised concerning them.

In, ' s . company with Sagwitoh, Indian Joha and Mr. Brown, he started in am tk. captain, and met him with Major John bod. and Louis De Mars (interpreter) near Bear River City. They all repaired to Mr. Dill's teat at the Indian camp, when a conversation ensued, of which the following is the account given by , Mr. nm: Capt.
