At last Philadelphia and an extent of surrounding country which, is entirely indeft-nito at this writing, have had practical experience of a genuine blizzard. It la found to be a phenomenon by no means to be despised, and not at alt to be desired. All the characteristics attributed by the news writers of the West to a first-class blizzard wen-present in the visitation of Sunday nigh' and yesterday morning, except that the flying snow was not quite thick enough to obscure the vision and bewilder the traveler entirely. At its worst, one could see flCtj yards before him, and in this respect i must be confessed our blizzard fell short o' the mark, but all the other features were there; the thick, line snow, thefuriou wind, the intense cold, the stranded trains, the dismantled telegraphs, even, it is to b. feared, the fatal freezing, were all present.

The only salt mine in the world of greater purity ia at Wieliezka, near Cracow, in Austrian Gallieia. It has been worked for eight centuries. This remarkable salt mine is situated at Piffard, on the Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia Bailroad, about twenty-eight miles south of Rochester. The salt deposits are located about eleven hundred feet below the surface of the ground.

A shaft with three compartments has been sunk, hoisting and crushing machinery aie at work, and the mine is now yielding about 500 tons of salt per day, which is sold for chemical nurnoses as well as for O'vll Bervlca Commissioner Lrmnn. z. mucu less could olvll officers do so in pursuit of common criminals.
