Discovery of Diamonds i'm Virginia.

On Monday, the 9th Of August, most singular
discovery of two diamonds was made at 's Duey's
Ferry King and Queen county, the residence OF
VIM. Brooks, Esq. A correspondent Of the Rich
mond Wing details the circumstances Of the discove-
nv of these diamonds which indeed somewhat
remarkable. 1t appears that as a Mr.. Taylor was
engaged saving the timbers for boat, Of oak
root his saw struck hard substance, which upon
being punched on, and examined, was found to be a
diamond Of the size of "a black eyed pea-shorty
after smaller one was al: found in the same root.
The teeth OF both were knocked by the con-
tact.
The oak tree to which thi, root was probably a
hundred and fifty years old, and was growing a few
weeks ago in the ground bordering upon swamp
upon Mr.. BIS place. These diamonds in shape
actaedron, as most diamonds are in their natural
state-of course they cut glass finely and were trans
lucid, apparently of the first wafer. When found
they were imbedded two three inches from the
surface Of the root, causing defect in the wood Of it
for some distance around. Can any one state another
instance of diamond being found like these, buried
in root beneath the ground probably for nearly a
hundred and fifty years!
1t will be remembered that about a year ago, la
borer, while digging in the street Of Manchester, just
opposite Richmond, discovered diamond, few feet
below the surface of the earth, which proved to be
of enormous size, and valued at some four
five thousand dollars Connect the recent discovery
with the last year, and it would seem that there
are many of these precious stones imbedded in the
soil Of old Virginia .--Paesburg Express.
