Chief Burgess has called a meeting of the citizens
of our borough and its vicinity, to be hold at the
Town Hall, on Monday evening, lime 2titli, for the
purpose of taking into consideration the application
made by the citizens of Allentown, fo' the relief of
the sufferers by the late fire in that place.
We hope our citizens will not be behind those of
our neighboring towns and cities, in giving of their
abundance for the relief of those who have been
atript of every thing, except their trust in God :in
three short hours.
Among the resolutions adopted by the meeting
held in Allentown, on Saturday June 3d, 11345, is
the following rely judicious one, which will insure
an equal and impartial distribution of all moneys
collected, to the most destitute:
Resolved, That the distribution of the moneys
which may be collected for the relief of the suffer.
ers, be referred to a committee of Finance, consist.
ing of fifteen—no one of whom ;shall reside or own

PAIR WARNING TO Boys.—The Chief Burgess
has given notice,that the law relative to the setting
off of fire-crackers, within the limits of our
borough, will be enforced in every instance of de
tection. This, we think, is right; and we hope
the officers in charge of the public safety, will en
force the law. If boys, large or small, wish to
show their patriotism by the firing off of fire-crack
:ro, pistols, &c., &c., let them do it in the woods or
open fields, where there will be no danger of burn.

DEAD SEA EXPEDITION.
The expedition under Lieut. W. F.LvNen, of the
United States navy, authorized by Government to
explore the Dead Sea, had reached its destination
on the 23d of April, and was afloat on the sea, with
boats launched, the weather mild, and all the party
safe and well.
CIIATEACTBRIAND, in his admirable narrative of his
travels in Greece, Palestine, &c., gives us an in.
tcresting though provokingly brief account of this
great curiosity. His visit to it was about forty
years ago, when a strong guard was necessary to
protect him from the Arabs who infested its bor.
dors. He says:
• Should the Turks ever again give permission,
and should it be found practicable to convey a ves
sel from Jaffa [or Joppa] to the Dead Sea, some cu
rious discoveries would certainly be made in this
lake."
Lieut. Lynch, we believe, is the first to visit un
der the authority of a foreign Government; and,
being provided with all things necessary for a thor
ough investigation, we really expect that he will
realize M. Chatenubriand's promise of curious dis
coveries to the utmost degree of possibility, and in
scribe his name at the head of the long list of phi
losophers and tourists, ancient and modern, who
have written upon the subject.
We subjoin a few extracts front the narrative of
Chateatibriand, by way of whetting the public
curiosity for the report which is expected from
Lieut. Lynch on his return to the United States.
In his approach to the laic:: he says:
"We marched two hours with pistols in our
bands, as in an enemy's country. We followed
the fissures formed between the sand-hills, in a mud
baked by the rays of the sun. A crust of snit
covered the surface, and resembled a snowy plain,
from which a few stunted shrubs rearedtheir heads.
We arrived all at once at the lake; 1 say all ut
once, because I thought we were yet a considera
ble distance from it. No murmur, no cooling
breeze announced the approach to i:s margin. The
strand, bestrewed with stones, was hot; the waters
of the lake were motionless, and absolutely dead
along the shore.
The first thing I did on alighting was to walk
into the lake up to my knees, and to taste the
water. I found it impossible to keep it
. in my
mouth. It far exceeds that of the sea in saltness,
and produces upon the lips the effect of a strong
solution of alum. 'Before my boots were com
pletely dry they were covered with salt; our clothes,
our hats, our hands, were in less than three hours
impregnated with this mineral."
Legions of small fish leaped about the shore at
night, which contradicts the opinion generally en.
tertained that the Dead Sea produces no- living
creature.
In 177 S the water was analyzed by Lavoisier and
others, who proved that one hundred pounds of it
contained forty pounds six ounces of salt; that is,
six pounds four ounces or common marine salt,
and thirty.eight pounds two ounces of marine salt
with un earthy base. Mahe Brun ascertained the
the specific gravity to be 1,211, that of fresh water
being 1,000. It is (says he) perfectly transpa
rent. Reagents demonstrate in it the presence of
marine and sulphuric acid ; it does not change col.
ors, such as turnsol and violet. It holds in solution
the following substances, and in the undermen
tioned proportions;
Maria of Lime 3.920
Magnesia 10.240
Soda 10.360
Sulphate of lime 051
2-1.380 in 100
o'rhis celebrated lake, (says M.Chateaubriand,)
which occupies the site of Sodom and Gomorrah, is
called in Scripture the Dead or Salt Sea ; by the
Latins and Greeks, Asphalites; Ahnotanalt and
Behar Laths by the Arabs ; and Via Degnisi by
the Turks. I cannot coincide in opinion with those
who suppose the Dead Sea to be the crater of a vol.

them the same characters; that is to say mountains
excavated in the form of a funnel, lava, and ashes,
which exhibited incontestible proofs of the agency
of fire. The Dead Sea, on the contrary, is a' lane
of great length, curved like a bow, placed between
two ranges of mouotains, which hove no mutual
coherence in form, no hornog,encousness of soil.

tains of Arabia ; but I met with none of these in
the opposite chain. But, then, the presence of hot
springs, sulphur, and asphultos is not sufficient to
attest the anterior existence of a volcano. With
respect to the engulphed cities, I adhere to the ac.
count given in Scripture without summoning phy.
sits to my aid. Besides, if we adopt the idea of
Professor Michmlis and the learned Riiching, in Ids
memoir on the Dead Sea, physics may be admitted
in the catastrophe of the guilty cities wilting of.
fence to religion. Sodom was built upon a mine of
bitumen, as we know from the testimony of Moses
and Josepltus, who spoke concerning wells of bitu.
men in the valley of Siddim. Lightning kindled
the combustible mass and the cities sunk in the
subterrancous conflagration. M.Malte Brun inge
niously suggests that Sodom and Gomorrah them.
selves might have been built of bituminous stones,
and thus have been set in flames by the lire of
Heaven."
"Several travellers, and among others Truilo
and d' Arvieux, asserts that they remarked frog.
merits of walls and palaces in the Dead Sea.
This statement seems to be confirmed by Mundrell
and Father Nau. The ancients speak more posi.
tively on this subject: Josephus who employs a po.
etie expression, says that he perceived on the banks
of the lake the shades of the overwhelmed cities.
Strabo gives a cireumlbrence of sixty stadia to the
ruins of Sodom, which arc mentioned also by Ta.
eitu.. I know not whether they still exist, but as
the lake rises and falls at certain seasons, it is pos.
sible that it may alternately cover and expose the

Heitush, the agent, for a bottle. We took the That dose
according to directions, and almost instantly felt a glow
of healthy warmth through the system. This was two o'-
clock—at five we took another dose, at nine another, and
we soon after detected a perceptible relief in the frequen
cy of the spasms and violent pains that had before attend
ed them. At three in the morning we took another dose,
and the phlegm, though tough, yellow and ropy, was
elected from the lungs with comparative ease. We feel
grateful for the relief afforded, and recommend a trial of
it by all who are suffering as we suffered. We have
deemed it due to the medicine, and to humanity, to give
this unsought testimonial to the virtue of the .Balsam, in
