ANOTHER curlous PHENOMENON "A singular

ANOTHER CURIOUS PHENOMENON - A singular
phenomenon was brought 10 light week ago yes
terday, IN the township OF Greenfield about eight
miles rom Detroit. The iIc,s are very nearly as
follow THE Messrs Changers, in boring to find
water to supply their saw mill, sunk "a four inch
lie to The depth OF 20 feet. when they struck
a vein or cavity. As they Withdrew the augur
from the hole, to their great surprise, il was fol-
lowed by violent current OF air, that threw up
stones as large as hens eggs, ten or fifteen feet
high. Fol-. few. moments, when the hole was
fest opened, the air accompanied by stream
OF water. which was thrown ten or twelve feet
high. The water, however, soon ceased coming,
aud the air gushed with such force that the roar
could be distinctly heard fifty or sixty rods distant.
On touching IRE to the air, 1t caught, and the
fumes flashed twenty feet high, and came near
burning the building, covering the machinery in
which 1t IS located. They finally succeeded, with
down blankets, and driving Spite into the hole,
which was thelr only means of stopping the air or
gas, and extmgulshlng the flames. For several
moments after the hole was stopped, the earth trem-
bed and shook for some distance around, as hough
an eruption was abont to take place. The people,
who by tins time had gathered TO the number OF
about hundred, were greatly alarmed at these
symptoms, and scattered with all possible rapidity,
supposIng that Mllllerism' was about coming to
focus, or that they were about to be blown M sky
high by an earthquake. From the time il was
opened till il was thus closed was about SIX hours
and the air gushcd ont all of the time with unaba-
ted force Il has been opened several times since
with the sam, effect. The power and force of the
air does no' seem to diminish IN the least The

apparatus to shut il off and let 1t out at lei
