A fresh water spring at Sea. --Mr. W. A Booth, the coast pilot of the revenue cutter Harriet Lane, reports the discovery of a boiling fresh water spring at sea, off the coast of Florida. He says the spring is situated twelve miles, north by east, from St. Augustine, Fla., and eight miles off shore. It boils up with great force, and can be described at a distance of two miles.

This spring has doubtless deceived hundreds, who have hastily put about from, as they thought, imminent danger, and reported seeing a "rock with water breaking over it." The Harriet Lane has passed through it several times, and water has been drawn from it by a bucket thrown over the side, and when drank, no unpleasant taste or smell has been found. Its position and har
