Verona Spring. — We come next to the sulphuretted springs of Onei- 
da county, some of which possess a high degree of interest. One of 
them is in the town of Verona, fourteen miles from Utica. Its water 
has been analyzed by Professor Noyes. The following is the composi- 
tion of one pint. 
Chloride of calcium, with chloride of magnesium, 8.50 grains. 
Sulphate of lime, 7.50 " 
Chloride of sodium, 90.00 " 
106.00 " 
The water is supposed to be nearly saturated with sulphuretted hy- 
drogen gas. 
Saquoii Springs. — In the town of Paris, in the same county, nine 
and a half miles south of Utica, are the Saquoit mineral and burning 
springs, the waters cf which are highly charged with sulphuretted hydro- 
gen, and contain the chlorides of sodium and magnesium in considera 
ble quantities, together with a little sulphate of lime and a trace of iron. 
The gas rises from the water in such abundance as to allow of its being 
conducted through tubes, and to be kept constantly burning. 
Chittmango Springs. — In the county of Madison, the sulphuretted 
springs of the most importance are those in the vicinity of the village of 
Chittenango. They are situated in the valley of the Chittenango creek, 
and issue from the hill of calciferous slate, w^hich here forms its eastern 
boundary. One of these springs is on the lands of the late John B. 
Yates, Esq. about a mile south of the village. The temperature at the 
time of my visit was 49° F.; its water is limpid, and emits a strong 
odour of sulphuretted hydrogen, with which it is sufficiently charged to 
blacken silver, and the salts of lead. The following is the composition 
in a pint, according to my analysis. Specific gravity, 1 .00341. 
Carbonate of lime, 0 . 88 grains. 
Sulphate of soda, 1.66 " 
Sulphates of lime and magnesia, 12 . 75 " 
Chloride of sodium, 0 . 14 " 
Organic matter, trace. " 
15.43 " 
Besides the sulphuretted hydrogen, the water contains a small portion 
of carbonic acid. 
Another interesting spring is found on the faxm of Judge Warner 
about two miles south of the village. The water at this place rushes
