a REMARKABLE FISH SToRY.--We were called
upon yesterday by young man, Mr.. Hull, Of
Green Mountain Bar who made the following
statement:
While mining a few days since in a river claim
on Green Mountain Bar. on the Middle Fork Of
the American river. a company working fifteen
men struck upon bed of quicksand, in which
they found mbcdded seven fish suckers, which
upon being taken out and put into a pump hole
which contained some four feet of water, imme
diatelv plunged to the bottom, aud in their move
ments exhibited every evidence OF being again in
their native element The quicksand in which
they were imbcddcd was twenty-five feet below
the present river bed, and was overlad by stra
ia of red clay, as we'll rs sand aud boulders large
ard small. The fish measured-the smallest
about four inches in length, and the largest about
fifteen inches. When they were first discovered,
Mr.. Crum. merchant on the Ear. was present.
and saw one Of them taken out. Two had been
found before his attention was called TO thcm.-
After seeing the three fish exposed, he went up
to his store aud stated the fact, which, Of course,
was doubted and all present started down for the
claim to see for themselves. When they reached
the spot, seven had been found, and were swim
ming, fsh-lke, in the hole where they had been
placed. One was killed by being cut nearly
through with pick The news of such q re-
markable discovery spread rapidly, and hundreds
visited the claim and the store to see fish taken in
the earth instead Of water, and at a depth of
twenty-five feet below the surface. They were
taken out of the water, and died within few
minutes as fish are in the habit of doing when
taken out of the water. Mr.. Hull does not doubt
the statement. though he cannot explain the phe-
nomenon. 1t is certainly wonderfully big fish
story--a most remarkable discovery, if true

Och, bad luck to ye, Dennis, ye thief Of the

New JERSEY SGNKING.-We clip the following
from the n. Y Sun of Aug. 3lst


from the N. Y Sun of Aug. 31st
We do not wish to create aarm-bccause
alarm in this instance is unnecessary--wh we
state that there is evidence, seemingly amounting
to demonstration, that the State of New Jersey
has been sinking slowly but gradually since some
date in the past, not aScertained-that it is sink
ing at the present time, and will continue 10 sink
until the whole State is again submcrged-tO re
appear, we may hope, after this baptsmal i'm
mersion, as part Of a new creation. The proof
is pretty conclusive that New Jersey has been
under water, not once merely, but several times;
and when its mari beds, formed during one Of
these immersions. have been used in tructifyng
its soil another dip to refresh its exhausted ener
gies may not be undesirable
The depression of the land is marked by the
inrOads which the sea has made within the mem
ory Of the living. Stumps of trees which stood
high and dry when the woodmans axe was APP
piled to their trunks, are now within oceans eln-
brace, and scarcely perccptible at low water
Rocks which once were inland, and beneath
whose Shade the yepcrable matron, in her girlish
days, sat and Willcd her fathers COWS, now
treacherOusly hide their heads beneath old
oceans aggressive waves. Other evidences the
man Of science finds and it seems that what is
true of New Jersey. in this respect, is true Of
Staten Island and Long Island. They are be-
lieved to be sinking, too; and the day may be an
icipated-though none Of us shall live to see it
when no bathcrs shall resort to Coney Island
for no COney Island will be there to receive them
and when Seguines Point and its hated Quaran-
tine structures shall have sunk out of sight Of all
save the Omniscicnt. But ere that day comes,
many generations Of men may have sunk-sunN
into long repose, awaiting the awakening sound
Of the last trumpet.

TRIBUTE TO MERITED WORTH.

THE ngratitude of man to his fellow man is so
l. often met in life that testimonials, prompted
10y the finer feelings of the heart, oasis in the
life of those who sacrifice their best days in philan-
thropic devotion to the allevation of the ills Of
frail mortality. Empricism floods the columns
of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their egotstical
charlatanism. Below we append letter from
worthy man who brief period since, seemed
destined to shuttle off this mortal COLL who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand Of disease Contrary to hope, the ability
of a skilu physician has restored him to his for
mer health Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thenticated by notary public. The demands of
society imperiously command its publicity and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises of physician of whom scores of like
cases can be cited

reflect for a moment, it will appear that such

of this country are the merest catch-phrases, and
that all their saving grace and eloquence are bor-
rowed from memories Of our old homes, and go
back again with our hearts to the family roof

home here will be found to be fabric as baseless

CERTIFICATE.


The undersigned, desirous Of acquanting those
who may be unfortunate enough to he similarly
afflicted where permanent relief of their suffer
ings may be obtained he feels it his duty to thus
publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr.. l.. j.
Czapkav for the permanent recovery OF his
health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices of uncomfortable
passion in youth, depressed in body and mind,
unable to perform even the most trihing duty i'm
posed upon the daily avocatons of life, sought
the advice of many physicians, who at first regard
ed my disease us of triAing Importance but, alas
after few weeks. and in several instances
months. Of their treatment, found, to my unut-
terablc horror. that instead Of relief the symptoms
became more alarming in their torture, ard being
finally told by one that the disease being princi-
pally cOnlinedt0 the brain medicines would be of
little consequence, despaired of ever regaining
my health, strength and energy and as last
resort and without faint hope, called upon Dr.
Czapkay. Who after examining my case. pre-
scribed some medicine which almost instantly re-
lieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by this result, resolved to
place myself Immediately under his care and, by
a STREET obedience to his directions and advice,
my head became clear, my ideas collected, the
constant pain in my back and groins. the weak
ness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of my
whole system on the slightest alarm or excitement
the misanhropy and evil forhoding. the selfds-
trust and want of confidence in others. the inca
pabilty to study ana want of resolution, the
frghtful, exciting, and at times plcasurable
dreams at night. followed by involuntary dis
charges, have all disappeared, and in fact in two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt
as if inspired by new lifc--that which, but a
short time ago. contemplated to end by my own
hand.
With Il view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares of Incompetent quaclis dee,s
it my duty to offer this testimony to the merit
and skill Of DR.. Czapkay, and recommend him to
all who may stand in need of medical advice, be
ing assured by my own experience that, once un-
der his care, a radical and permanent cure will
