that they thrust long poles, but could

three Iaborers at work near the lower

procured, when two Of the men and one
Of the boys were let. down into the hole.
They descended about thirty feet be-

found themselves in subterranean pas
sage, running nearly east and west, and
about twenty five wide. 1t was built OF
coarse unhewn. stone, but Of different
quality from any known to exist in that
vicinity. The stone was laid in a dark,
tenacious cement, and the whole work
was very handsomely done. The floor
was nicely hcwn limestone, Ike Eastaufs
quarry, and were probably brought from
it.. The day was so Tar advanced that
little WIS done toward the exploration of
this singular work, but the discoveries
that were made, were very important
and may lead TO the solution Of the mys-
terry. The explorers on going eastward
about thirtyarods, came TO large square
sor'court, which were estimated by them
to beabout fiityfeetin diameter. In this
court they, lound the following articles,
which viii doubtless leadto some further

From the Report of Prussian Engineer
THE CRAZY ENGINEER.

My train left Dantzic in the morning
generally about eight o'clock but once g
week We had to wait for the arrival of the
steamer from Stockholm. It was the morn
ing of the steamers arrival that my engi-
neer had been SO seriously injured that he
could not run-a railway carriage had run
orer him, and broken one of his legs. ]
went Immediately to the engine-house tc
procure another engineer, for knew there
were three or four in reserve there but ]
was disappointed. Inquired for Westphal,
but was Informed that he had gone to Stee-
gen to see his mother. Gondolpho had been
sent to Konigsberg, on the road. But
where was Wayne? He had leave of alb
:sence for two days, and had gone-no one
knew whittier
Here was fix! I heard the putting OF
the steamer in the Neufahrwasser, and the
passengers would be on hand in fifteen min
utes. I ran to the guards, and asked them
if they knew where there was an engineer,
but they did not I then went to the fire.
men, and asked them if any one of them
felt eompetent to run the engine to Brom-
berg. No one dared to attal BIT it. The
distance was nearly one hundred miles
What was to be done
The steamer stopped at the wharf, and
those who were going on by rail came flock
ing up to the station. They had eaten
breakfast on board the boat, and were all
ready for fresh start. The baggage was
checked and registered, the tickets bought,
the different carriages pointed to the various
classes of passengers, and the passengers,
themselves seated. The train was in read
mess in the long station-house, and the en-
CINE was steaming and putting away, impa
tiently in the distant fring-house.
1t was past nine o'clock.
Come, why don't we start?" growled ar
old fat Swede, who had been watching mt
narrowly for the last fifteen minutes.
And upon this there was a general cho
rus Of anxious inquiry, which soon settled
