A PHENomENoN.--A friend Who has
Just returned from the South, tells us
that about forty miles this side O titus,

the driver pointed TO 4 large hole in
the field, which he said was the grea-
test curiosity in the world. The pas
SenEers went to the spot, and found
4 round hole about seventy feet in d.
ameter, with the earth on all sides
apparently solid, and overgrown with
grass. There was water at the bot
tom, apparently Il hundred feet from
the surface. 1t Is at tie top of 4 ridge
OF earth, upon which. at the distance
of twenty rods, stood the deserted
dwelling of the owner Of tile pIanta-
ton. The driver stated that about
three years ago, in the dusk of even
ing, the planter WAS startled by Il rum
bling noise. and stepping fromhis door
was aStonIShed to find hat u magni-
iicent pine tree more than a hundred
feet high. and a noble oak which stood
by lis side in the field, had both dis

hole appeared. but nothing was to De
seen of the trees, nor has the top of
them ever been reached, though a
sounding line has been sem down
three hundred feet. The planter
thought it unsafe 10 remain so near a
nelghbor TO such 4 catastrophe, lest
that should belaI him and his family
which bcieI the pine and the oak; and
so he removed to another house a
mile distant, yet nothing of the kind
has happened since, md the wonder
still remains unaccounted for.--TN.
