S"t'erSi'a V The VtHage Of S!ron in BoAe.
D7il


mia.
British journal gives an account Of the
destruction oi the new village Of Stron, in Bo-
hemia, situate on deciiviiy in the valley of
Egar. On hill stood The Church and par.
spnage house. The hill contained bed of
coal, hat spreads through the country. A
Dumber OF springs in The vicinity Of S,ron
were The cause OF this Calamity. The water
OF tbese spings had gradually per fora,ed
large snb'errenean cavities in he sand, unt
o, length The Church, houses. SIC. rested only
on some detached column Of sand that were
daily diminishing. For length of nme tho
cath had been siokiog crevicos appeared in
the walls OF the buildings; and tho doors
would no longer shut. In the middle Of the
Right grsa, noise waa heard, which reused
the pconle tom their sleep, when a singular
moving of the earth, advancing forward end
sinking, was observed. The inhabitants fied
and moved their cattle. In the morning half
the village had disappeared, and where 20
bouses had ever been, roofs and chimnics
we'c seen rising from the ground. The hill,
Church &c. were no longer 10 be seen, except
ct the distance Of 80 ieet below where it stood
divided in two, and buried in ruins. All va.
one scene of ruin NO lives were lost Fiji
teen houses were left standing, but it was ex.
pected they would share the fate Of the 9TH
ers. The village Is now a sort Of central
spot Tor pilgrimage to he whole OF Bohemia.
