Curiosities of the Earth.

At the city Of Modena, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, wherever the
earth is dug when the workmen arrive
at the distance Of SO feet they come to a
bed of chalk, which they bore with an
auger, FIVE feet deep. They then with
draw from the pit before the auger is re-
moved, and upon its extraction, the wa
ter bursts up through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills this new
ly made well, which continues full, and
is affected neither by rains nor ~droughts.
But what is most remarkable in this ope
ration is, the layers of the earth as we
descend. At the depth of fourteen feet
are found the ruins of an ancient city,
paved streets, houses, floors, and different
pieces of mosaic work. Under this is
found a soft, oozy earth, made up of veg
etables, and at rs feet deep. large trees
entire, such as walnut trees, with the wal
nuts sticking to the stem, and the leaves
and branches in a perfect state of preser
walton. At % feet deep, a soft chalk is
found, mixed with a vast quantity of shells
and this bed is eleven feet thick. Under
this, vegetables are found again.

therefore, the next year, planted the seed

years, till he produced the potato now

sGF A Philadelphia paper tells the
following anecdote which will do to
travel.n
Tim McGawan, a gallant fellow, lost
his life in the Mexican war. He had lost
his arm, when a boy, having the limb
crushed under the wheel of a jaunting
car, in the " ould country" His survi.
wing brother, Dennis, never ceases boast
ing of Tins exploits.
In a Moyamensing bar room, the other
evening. Dennis began on the old theme
of the Mexican war, dwelling with par
ticular emphasis on the heroic deeds of
his deceased relative. "Och, Murther,
but ye ought to have seen Tim at Rye
sack-a-dollar pole-me-(meaning Resaca
de la Plama,) He caught two Mexican
blackguards by the cuffs of their necks,
and kilt them both as dead as herrins by
knocking their heads together.
How could that be said a listener
when you brother had but arm 2"

day"
The hour and the day determined on,
they were punctual at their rendezvous
As soon as they were inside the e%nclous-
nre the two antagonists sought after each
other, cautiously. hating at every step.
They advanced slowly with their cooked
pistols In their hands. aAd eye on watch,
and ear all attention. At The tnrA Of an
alley they perceived each other By a
rapid motion they threw themselves be
hind the trunks of a couple Of other
trees in this position they renamed for
a considerable time, when Dupont resolv
ed to act. At first he gently waved tie
tail OF his coat just outside the tree which
protected him he then protruded half
The thickness OF the deshy part o. his arIi,
drawing it back instantly. 1t was good
that he did SO, for Immediately after
wards a bullet sent a large piece Of bark
flying. Founler had lost a shot.
In the cours of a few minutes. Dupont
commenced the same manoeuvre on the
opposite side Of the tree trunk. and he
embellished his original idea by showing
the tip of his pistol barrel, as if he in
turn1were watching for an opportunity
to fire. Holding his hat in his right
hand, he displayed it far as the rim. In
a twinkling the hat was blown away, for
tunately there was no head inside it,
Fourier therefore had wasted his see
ond bullet.
Dupont then sailed, from his fortress,
and marched up to his adversary, who
awaited him in the attitude of a brave
man for whom there is no further hope.
When Dupont was within q couple of
PAGES of his enemy, he said:
II a kill you if | like it is my right
and privilege, but | cannot fire at a hu-
man creature in cold blood. | spare
your life"
As you please
Il spare it to day you understand
clearly but | remain the master of my
own property, of which l allow you the
provisional enjoyment. But if ever you
give me any trouble, if ever you try to
pick a quarrel with me, / shall take the
liberty of reminding you that | am the
lawful owner of a couple of bullets, es-
pecially destined to be lodged ia your
skull, and we will resume the affair ex.
actly at the point where I think proper
to-day"
So ended a duel which began in seven.
teen hundred and u~inety-tour, and only
finished in eighteen hundred and thir.
teen.
