Tue last number of the Journal, contains an article by Mr. C. U.

locality of Foxes Creek—Shaded, Supposed extent of the water-lime.— White,

erals. Its direction is North and South. It dips to the South at an 
angle of 1° 5’; and one half mile south of the Court house, it disap- 
pears below the valley, on both sides of the river. The figs. 1, 2, 3,

sub-aqueous constructions, affords the lime.
