There was no outlet to the room, and a hirge snake which they found there, ap peared to be perfectly docile. passed round the room several times while they were in it. This discovery is a subject for the speculation of philosophers with regard to the period and circumstances nttentding this ancient charnel house.--entral Watchtower.

THE DROUGHT-A DRY FOUNTAIN. There is, or was, in Florida. a beautiful sheet of water known by % hite men and Indians as the Silver Spring. which before this year's drought, had never failed and was relied on by all living things in that region as exhaustless. [is pretty name .was naturally stggested by its bright as pect. In the depth of the forest. and bor dered by a matted growhth of live oak and oth.-r evergreeus, a circular or oval hollow about sixty yards it diameter shel'ed down through satnd if perfect whiteness. tio its centre, where the sprina gush.d up ward so vigoriously as to agitate ttie 51tr.mce soine 'athorgms above. fiditng the enti ha. ein with water of delicious purity and coot ness, through the diamond transparency of which were seen fi-ah of dif'erent kinds and various colors, which alwavs refusing a bait, were believed by the Itdians to be euchanted or blessed spirits ; and under the blaze of a tropical suinier. a sensual fancy coull hardly have imaeed, even in the land of flowers, a Inre delghtful hea ven than the bath of the Silver Spring perhaps the very fountain of rejtveue cence, in search of whieh :he rutmantic old Spaniard found that immortality in death ..which he hoped to enjoy in life. There was ample room au.1 verge entugah for a little boat in which visiters amussed them .selves floating over the seluded little lake. On a visit, a few weeks since. sotme offi -cers found the spot deprived of half its beauty and of gtll its wanted freslness. The silhe.r sands were dry as the desert ; the spirit fish and the water had vanished: mnd thickly strewn in the woods around. were the bleaching skeletons and wither ing earcatses of horses, dleer. wild cowvs. and a variety tof other animalds, wnich had persshetd of thirst. The dlry busin sotte what resembled the cratter of a volcano:. for though there was not a drop of moistutre, the boiling snotion of the spriun. wa kept tip itn the sand-and on thruistine down the foot or a stick. the gass escaped int ptie distinctly audible.
