A WONDERFUL PnESoMENoN-A singular
phenomenon was brought 10 light a week ago

Messrs. Changers, in boring to find water to
supply their saw mill, sunk FOUR inch hole

vein, or cavity. AS they Withdrew the au-
ger from the hole, 10 their great surprise il
was followed hy violent current ofair, that
threw up stones as large as hens eggs ten Oh
fifteen feet high.
For few moments. when the hole was
first opened The air was accompanied by a
stream of water, which was thrown ten or
twelve feet high. The water, however soon
ceased coming and the air gushed out with
such force that the roar could be distinctly
heard fifty or sixty rods distant. On touch
ing fire 10 the air. it caught; and the flames
flashed twenty feet high. covering the ma
chinery, and came near burning The build

They finally succeeded with considerable
difficulty in stopping il by forcing down blan
kets, aud driving Spite into the hole, which
was their only means of stopping the air or
gas, and exiinguishing the flames. For sew
eral moments after the hole was stopped the
earth trembled and shook for some distance
around, as though an eruption was about 10

up sky high by an earthquake. From The
time it was opened till it was thus closed, was
about six hours, and the air gushed out with

the same effect. The power and force ofthe
