full Acknowledgements to the members of

should gather under one roof in spirit so

their regard should be left behind them is
indeed gratifying to us far beyond the
mere pecuniary value of the articles. This
value is about $2fo of which one EaIf was

ByA correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, writing from Stockton, CaliGor-
MIA, relates the following interesting Incl
dent:
The workmcn engaged in boring an Ar.
tcsian well near the City Hall, in this city,
recently worked through log at the depth
of three hundred and forty feet. The spec
linens taken up partake more of the appear
ance of semi-prcscrvation or approaching
petrifaction than that of decay. The grain
resembles cedar or oak, The log is embed
ded in very fine white sand, through which
the auger has since passed. This has cre-
ated a subject for no little discussion among
the wisesores of Stockton and elsewhere.
