FALL OF A TuNNEL.-The Broadtree
Tunnel heal Beetsville, Va, thirty.sever
miles east of Wheeling, and upon the line
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, re.
Gently fell in for considerable distance
burying the track beneath tuns of earth
This tunnel (nearly 300 feet, or over
half a mile in Lengthy is, we think, the
one which caused such an immense
amount of trouble and expense in its con-
struction, in consequence of the ~iooseness
of the earth, which fell in at two points,
so as to make large natural shafts or
c%raters, and finally required the whole
tunnel to be arched over very thickly
with brick. The opinion is quite general
with many that the expense of a tunnel
depends on the hardness of the earth,
but so far is this from the fact, that the
very hardest and soundest rock is far
preferable to quicksand or %treacherous
stone. The roof of this tunnel fell in
Immediately after a train backed out of it.
AK INDIAN ADvEETURE.-The fol-
lowing incident was narrated to Lieut.
Beokwith, of the Pacific Railroad Expe-
dition party, bya Delaware Indian guide,
as they were traversing a mountain pass
which was marked by numerous guile:
and ravines:
"He was traversing this pass at mid.
night, accompanied by his squaw only
both mounted upon the same horse, and
the night so dark that he could neither
see the outlines of the hills nor the grount
at his horses feet, when he HEARD SOUND
(which he imitated) so slight as TO bs
scarcely ~percepible to.an Indians ear, o!
an arrow carried in the hand, striking
once only. with a slight tick, agains, !
bow. Stopping, he could hear nothing
but instantly ~dismounted, his squaw lean
ing down upon the horse, that she nigh
by no possibility be seen, and placed hi
ear to the ground, when he heard the
same sound repeated, but a few feet dis
tant, and was therefore satisfied tina
however imminent the danger, he hac
not yet been seen or heard, for no Indiar
would make such a sound at night, in ap
preaching his foe; he therefore instantly
arose, and took his horse by the bride
close to his mouth, to lessen the chance,
of his moving or whinnying, and one
hundred and seventy Of his deadliest en-
emies, the Sioux, on a war party, flee
past him within arms reach, while hi
remained unobssrved."

SOME NosE.-The following incident
we had from friend vino knew the party:
Deacon c., of Hartford, Conn. is
we'll known as being provided with an en-
ormous handle to his countenance, in the
shape of a huge nose in fact it IS re-
markable for It's great length.
On late occasion, when taking up
collection in the church 10 which the dea-
con belongs, as he passed through the
congregation every person to whom he
presented the bag seemed to be possessed
with a sudden and uncomfortable desire
to laugh,
The deacon did not know what to make
Of it. He had often passed round before,
but no such efforts had he Witnessed
The deacon.was fairly puzzled.
The secret, however, leaked out. He
had been afflicted with sore on the end
Of his nasal appendage, and had placed a
small piece of sticking plaster over it
During the morning Of the day in question,
the plaster had dropped off, and the dea-
con seeing it, as he supposed, on the floor,
picked it up and stuck it on again.
But alas, for men who sometimes make
great mistakes, he picked up instead, one
/ of those pieces Of paper which the manu-
facturers Of the cotton paste on the end G.
every spool, and which read
Warranted to hold out 300 yards.
Such sign on such nose was enough
10 upset the gravity OF any congregation

AGRICULTURAL y DIscovERy.-A Par
IS letter writer state that a scientific ren-
ueman discovered two years ago, embed
ed with some embalmed bodies, a species
Of wheat, not then in existence. In the
time Of the early Gallo kings certain
quantity Of wheat was placed in the cof-
fin Of enbaipled bodies. Some of it was
sown, and it yielded from sixteen TO tven-
ty stalks to a grain, while there was an
average twenty more grains in the head
than IN the ordinary wheat. A consid-
cradle quantity of this ancient wheat was
sown on the government farm last fall.
Great reports are received of It's produce
tiveness. The ordinary wheat Of France
IS believed to be only degeneration of
this ancient grain, deteoriated by centu-
ries Of reproduction. This discovery
takes France back fourteen centuries for
seed wheat, and Ii - expected will put her
in possession Of one-eight more agricul-
tural wealth than she possessed before the
dis -oyery.-[ Boston Journal.
