Independent says :\u2014There is a noted place in Long Valley, some sixty miles north ot this place, known as \u201c Cam Diablo Canon,\u201d so called from a wonderful spring there is there.This is the same canon where the fight with the convicts took place, In which R.J.Morrison was killed.Fire years ago, Mr.Bircham states, this spring was about a yard across Last fall, when he last saw it, it had got to be seventy-five yards in diameter, and of unknown depth.Its waters are but little more than alum, sulpher and saltpetre in solution, quantities of each of these being found crystallized on its bank and in the vicinity.The water is scalding hot\u2014hotter, it is said, than pure water can bo made.This spring has always been noted fbr its vi dent and frequent ebullitions, accompanied with an awe-inspiring sound, whence the name of the canon near its mouth\u2014\u201c the Devil\u2019s House.\u201d At the time of Mr.Bircham s visit last fall, these ebullitions would occur once or twice every minute, keeping up almost a continuous roar, and each time raising tons of water a number of*feet, though non?above the surface of the surrounding ground.There is another of these springs in the bottom of the river near by, of such volume as to raise the temperature of the water so that animals will not Irink of it for miles below.Tho river at that point is nearly a rod wide and four feet in depth.The water in the river is as cold as ice before reaching this thermal spring.Near Casa Diablo is a most remarkable bill, or point of a hill, some twenty feet wide and a hundred yards or so in length.Immediately under tho crust, which is about two inches in thickness, and of a grayish hue, the whole hill, as far down as has been prospect-d, is a mass of hot mud\u2014boiling hoL\u2014of all the different colors of tho rainbow.This mud is about the consistency of so much putty.Owing probably to the thermal, condition of the ground, tho timber for a distance of fifteen miles along or north of Long Valley is all dead or dying.As a prooi of a new and changed condition »\u2022!' the earth iu that locality, Mr.Bircham says that eight years ago there was just one spot of about a hundred acres on which the timber was dead, all the rest now dead been then green and flourishing.Many of these trees arc of a century's growth, or more ; others mere saplings.He has not visited this locality since the big earthquake, but thinks some wonderful changes were effected then, or by some of the subsequent shocks, one or two of which were more violent in Round VaHey, twenty miles south of Casa Diablo, than that of March 26, which handled this section so roughly.You smile, O poet, and what do you?You lean from your window, and watch Life\u2019s column Trampling and struggling through dust and dew, Filled with its purpose» grave and solemn, And an act, a gesture, a face\u2014who knows ?Touches your fancy to thrill and haunt you, And you pluck from your bosom the verse that grows, And down it files like my red, red rose, And you sit and dream as away it goes, And think that your duty i* done\u2014now don\u2019t you ?I know your answer.I'm' not yet through, Look at this photograph\u2014\u201d In the Treu-ches,\u201d That dead man in the coat of blue Holds a withered rose in his hand.That clenches Nothing!

but more probably it is intended os an additional protection from electrical effect*.Water is so excellent a conductor of electricity, that, under certain circumstances, a sheet of water affords almost complete protection to whatever may be below ; but this does not prevent fish from being killed by lightning, as AragO bat pointed out.In the year 1670, lightning fell on the Lake of Zirknitz, and killed aU the fish iu it so that the inhabitante of the neighbourhood were enabled to fill twenty-eight carts with the dead fish found floating on the surface of tho lake.That mere deptA is no protection is well shown by the fact that those singular vitreoun tubes, called fulgurites, which arc known to be caused by the action of lightning, often penetrate the ground to a depth of thirty or forty feet.And instances have been known in which lightning has ascended from the ground to the storm-cloud, instead of following the reverse course.From what depth these ascending lightnings spring, it is impossible to say.Still we can scarcely doubt that a place underground.or near the ground, is somewhat safer than a place several storeys above the ground floor.Another remarkable opinion of the ancients was the belief that the akin of seals or of snakes afford protection agains lightning.The Kmperor Augustus, b_»forj mention-d, used to wear seal-skin dresses under the impression that he derived safety from them.Seal-skin tents were also used by the Romans as a refuge for timid persona during severe thunder-storms.In the Ce-vermes, Arngo tells us, the shepherds are still, in the habit collecting the cast-off skins of snakes.They twist them round their bats, under the belief that they thereby secure themselves against the effects of lightning.Whether there is any real ground for this belief in the protecting effects due to sealskins and snake-.ckins, is not known; but there can be no doubt that the material and colour of clothing are not without their importance.When the church of Chateaa-neuf-les-Moutiers was struck by lightning during divine service, two of the oflteiat-iag priests were severely injured, while a third escaped\u2014who alone wore vestments ornamented with silk.In the same explosion, nine persons were killed and upwards of 80 injured.But it is noteworthy that seveml dogs were present in the church, all of whteh were killed.It lias also been observed that \u2022lark coloured animals are more liable to be struck (other circumstances being the same), than the light-coloured.Nay, more ; dappled and piebald animals have been struck : and it has been noticed that, after the stroke, tbo hair on the lighter parte have come off at the slightest touch, while the hair on the darker parts has not been affected at all.It seems probable, therefore, that silk and felt clothing, and thin black cloth, afford a sort of protection, though not a very trustworthy one, to those who wear them.The notioo has long been prevalent that metallic articles should not be worn during a thunderstorm.There can be no doubt that large metallic masses, on or near the person, attract dan.ger.Arago cites a very noteworthy instance of this.On the 21st of July, 1819, while a thunderstorm was in progress, there were assembled twenty prisoners in the great hall of Biber&ch Jail.Amongst them stood their chief, who had been condemned to death, and who was chained by tba waist.A heavy stroke of lightning fell on the prison, and the chief was killed, while his companions escaped.It is not quite so clear that small metallic arse left are source# of danger.The feet that, 'when persons have been struck, the metallic portions of their attire have been in every case affected by tho lightning, affords only a presumption on thia point, since it does not follow that these metal lie articles have actually attracted the lightning stroke.Instances in which a metallic object has Kbeen struck, while the wearer has escaped, are more to the point, though soma will be apt to recognize here a protecting agency rather than the reverse.It is related by Kundmann that a stroke of lightning once struck and/used a brass bodkin worn by a young girl to fasten her hair, and that she was not even burned.A lady (Arago tells us) had a bracelet fused from her wrist without suffering any injury.And we frequently see in the newspapers accounts of similar ea- < capes.It is conceded that in theseJaalflafite ot course, be alundantiy cl53^Eï^^l^JreJ¦te¦¦mf, fcrable to remove from the person all mc-taUtc» objecte, such as watches, chains, bracelets, and rings, when a thunderstorm is in progress.\u2014Chambers Journal.A Carious Family Hiteorj.The AvenW National publishes the extract of a letter from Venice, which announces the death of one of the richest patricians of that city, the Chevalier Treves.Amongst a variety of bequests, he loaves to his native city the Hotel San Partenian on the Grand Canal, in which Daniel Manin was born.The munici-pal council haa decreed that the hotel in question shall become the inalienable property of Georges, the son and heir of the celebrated Liberator.The Rev.W.Tmnter, the eldest living Wesleyan minister, haa been preaching at Portsmouth.The rev.gentleman, who u approaching hia 100th year, entered the Wesleyan ministry just 70 years ago.He is atill halo and active.\t,,\t.Dzsa Child 1\u2014\u201c Mm.Miffin/'said a visitor, h Emma has yoor features, but I think the has got her father\u2019s hair.\" \u201cOh, now I soe,\u201d said the dear little Emma;

The sisters had for each otlier a most romantic attachment, which was preserved throughout their lives.: It made them inseparable.They never slept for a single night under different roofs, Elizabeth remained single.Sarah was twice marriod, but in choosing male partners she appears to have stipulated that the bonds between herself and her maiden sister should not be severed, and they never were.The women lore such a close personal resemblance that they could scarcely be distinguished from each other except by the moat intimate friends.Elizabeth Hewes died first.At her grave Sarah sang one of the old songs the sisters had sung in duet since their early childhood.Sarah followed in a few months, and then there was no one to sing the song.The grave closed over this unbroken link of sisterly affection which had been brightened by the shifting sands of ninety-flve years.These sisters hod remarkable intellects, which were exhibited in many acts and passages of their lives, and there also seems to have beenja strong tincture of eccentricity in the family blood.Sarah had several children, among whom was a son, Sol.Hewes Sanborn.A few months since, his body was found tm a railroad iu Massachusetts, and it was not known whether he was murdered, or had beea killed by accident.After the death of hia wife, which occurred fifteen y oars ago, he became a wanderer, and bis mother believed him dead.He was 90 years of age, and left the following very singular will : Simpson\u2019s Hotel, Mzntord, Maas., March 10,1871.Some forty years since I assigned my body, after death, to an institution (the Hall of Science) in New York, established under the auspices of Frances Wright, one of the first champions of \u201cwomen\u2019s rights\u201d in our free and happy country.That institution failed, and my carcass reverted to ite original owner, my very humble self I therefore have disposed of my body thua : \u201cknow thtbilf.\u201d In the name of the Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, of Science and Common Sense.Amen.1.Sol.Howes Sanborn (cosmopolite), now sojourning at Simpson\u2019s Hotel, in Medford, Middlesex County, State of Massachusetts, do by these presents will, derise, and bequeath (for the diffusion of anatomical knowledge among mankind) my mortal remains to Pro-feesor Louis Agassiz and Oliver Wendell Holmes, of Harvard University, on the following conditions : 1.\tThat my body be prepared in the moat skilful and scientific manner known in anatomical art, and placed in the museum of anatomy in the aforesaid institution, or any other public building the said profesaoni may deem advisable.2.\tIt is my express desire (if compatible with the usuages of the afbreeaid University) that two drum-heads shall be made of my skin, on one of which shall be written.In Indelible characters, \u201cPope\u2019a Universal Prayer,\" aud on the other \u201cThe Declaration of Independence,\u2019\u2019 as it originated in the brain of Its illustrious author, Thomas Jefferson, the Mid drum-heads to be presented to my distinguished friend and fellow-citizen, Warren Simpson, drummer, Cobasset, Norfolk County, State of Massachusetts, on the following conditions : That be, the aforesaid Warren Simpaon, shall beat, or cause to be beaten, on said drumheads, the national air of \u201cYankee Doodle,* at the base of the monument on Bunkeria Hill, at sunrise, on the 17th of June, annnal-ly.3.\tThe vicera, and other parte of my body, useless for anatomical purposes, I wish composted for a fertiliser, to be uaed for the pur-jj pose of nourishing the growth of an American elm, to be planted or set out on some rural public thoroughfare, that the weary, wajriar-ing man may rest, and innocent children playftilly sport beneath the shadow of Its umbrageous branches, rendered luxuriant by my carcass.Sot.Hlwus 8*vmml Om Sen area Enoioh \u2014Sydney Smith, btihg annoyed on one occasion by a fiddler, who persisted in playing in front of his house, sent out a sixpence, with a mesmge that one ocr»-per wan enough at the door.\t: ^ A wise man, being asked how old he was, replied, \u201c I am in hesdth and being asked how rich he was, said, \u201cI aa soi in debt,* \u2022 ESEMENTS.I Gulf Port» S 3 Go\u2014W Moore, do\tdo.Sanderson.See 1st P»*e.ft Smith, i Patent Capsules.Tanted\u2014Alfred Kuxoud.'

interrogatory from Mr.Horseman, that the papers concerning the recent negotiations with the United States, would include everything except Sir Stafford Northcote\u2019s declaration as to the responsibility of the British Commissioners.Mr.Horseman wanted to know whether the records of the Joint High Commissioners would contain any minutes with regard to the indirect claims, or show whether the question of these claims was raised at all ; also, whether they would prove that the withdrawal of the said claims only rested on an understanding between the Commissioners.Mr.Gladstone required a notice of the question before giving It a full answer, but he would state no communication passed between the Commissioners and Her Majesty\u2019s Government, showing that the exclusion of the indirect claims rested on an understanding.Mr.Corrance asked if Her Majesty\u2019s Government intended to proceed with the Arbitration on matters which had no relation with the Alabama claims, the Fenian claims, the fisheries or Canadian matters.For the purpose of obtaining the floor, Mr.Corrance made a motion to adjourn.He crkiciaed the Government, charging them with neglecting the Canadas, and exacting their assent to the Treaty of Washington under duress.Mr.Gladstone protested against the assertion.Ho claimed that his answers were misunderstood.He had said that the postponement of the Board of Arbitration would not affect the Treaty, but the defeat of one of its provisions might, as when one of the wheels of a carriage failed all failed.In reply to Viscount Bury\u2019s inquiry of

The change In duty on Canada Lumber from ad valorem to a specific duty of $2 ?M ft.gold, to take effect on the Ist of August next, will be a cause of congratulation to all Interested In Canada Lumber.Ottawa Lumber will be benefltted most by the change, for at the pre sent high prices merchantable Lumber has to pay a duty ol $3 to $4 ?M ft.gold, and culls $2 to $2.60 ¥ M ft.In other sections, the cost of culls and common grades will be Increased thereby ; not over $1 to $1.60 F M ft gold having been paid for duty on same.Aside the gain that will be derived in lessening the coet of certain kinds of Lumber, tbe getting rid of the annoyances attending the coilaotion of the duty will be worth a good deal and be a matter of general congratulation especially to those who have been unfortunate enough to get into collision with ihe government official».Prices demanded by Ottawa manufactures will prevent Lumber coming to this market from that section.At $12 ¥ M feet for culls and $19 P M ft.for merchantable, with present rate of gold and even a specific duty of $2 ?M ft.gold and cost of transportation, no margin Is loft and with the least concession In Albany there would be a loea.Prom present appearances the receipts of Ottawa Lumber will be light.At Baglnaw prices remain without much change.The orders now In hand will keep the mills busy till after the month of Joly and thus tend to keep the market firm.An advance of $1 19 M ft on lake freights and 60c ¥ M on the canal will Increase the ooet of that Lumber.Great difficulty Is experienced in procuring schooners or barges to bring forward Lumber held at the mills of last year's sawing, and without a change hi this respect high freights and slow shipments may be calculated upon.Barges hitherto employed In carrying Lumber have been chartered to carry oil between Cleveland and Buffalo, and moet of the first-class canal boats are secured to carry con).Next to the labor strikes the difficulty of getting forward Lumber concerns the Lumber dealers as much as anything.The strike has assumed a serious shape and unless set to rights must affect building operations seriously.Tbe strikes once closed, a steady Lumber business may be counted on throughout the reason.The low stock of Lumber throughout the country ; the lateness of the season ; the limited time left for the manufacture and the shipment of Lumber; the freighting\u2019dlfflculUes and other features of the trade can hardy fall to keep prices steady.The heavy rains of the last ten days have helped the log drivers, and most of tbe mills will have logs enough to keep them sawing far (he balance of the season.A large quantity of logs will not be got to the mills, and thus the -icare of a large overstock Is passed.The logs ,'ot to the mills have been at an Increased cost As compared with last year, receipts are much less.Blocks on hand much lighter.The district was never before as bare ; many of the yards having nothing on them.Shipments have been light, owing to want of assortment.The receipts of Lumber by Lake at Buflhlo luring the week were 7,704,600 feet; at Oswego 5,870,900 feet.The receipts at Albany by the Erie and Champlain canals for the first week of June, were : ltd*.A Bc\u2019tl\u2019g Shingles, Timber, Staves, feet.\tM.\tcb.ft.\tHm.1872.13,966,200\t60\t.\t.1871.14,996,000\t1,632\t 480,000 Of the boards ai»d scantling received 8,681,-,00 feet were by the Erie and 5,284,600 feet by die Champlain canals.The receipts tH Albany by the Erie and
