A NATURAL WELL OF ICED WATER smark
0bLe Ice Strdtum.-A gentleman of this city
widely known as an engineer and chemist o
high rank, furnishes an account of a remarkable
stratum found in digging well in Vermont
which he visited and examined last week. His
description Of the ice agrees with an account
! given by another of our citizens who is n native
of the neghborhOod, and who has inspected the
famous well. There is some curiosity TO see
whether the dog days viii have any effect upon
the cold spring.
To the Editor Of the Transcript An article
has been going the rounds of the papers of late.

ing recently visited the spot where the ice refer.
red too was found, | will state the facts as I
learned them, for the benefit OF your readers,
leaving it for them to account for the phenome-
non as they think proper,
The latter part of last November, Mr.. An.
drew Twombly, of Brandon, VT, commenced to
dig well near his house, situated about mile
from the centre of the village ST BIandon, on n
tolerably level plain. Having excavated to the
depth of fifteen feet, through sand and gravel.
the workmen came to ground frozen solid,
through which they continued to excayate the
further distance of fifteen or sixteen feet before
getting through the frozen ground
At the depth of forty feet, sufficient water
having been obtained, the well was stoned in
the usual manner, The character of the ground
was the same throughout the whole distance
viz: coarse gravel and sand-the frozen portion
interspersed with Jumps of clear ice At the
time the well was dug, the surface of the
ground was not frozen. Ever since the well
was dug, up to the present time, ice forms in
the well and incrustS the stone at from fifteen
to thirty feet from the surface, and the surface
OF the water, which is thirty five feet below the
surface of the ground. freezes over every night.
On several occasions, when the bucket has been
left In the well under the water over night, it
has been found necessary to descend the well,
and, with Ratchet, cut the ice in order to ex-
tricate it. j HR

TuE "METnoD" OF Mr. SICKNESS "MADNEss."
We were among the few who ayowed the
opinion that Captain Mckenzie hung young
Spencer not from any apprehension OF danger
to his ship, but for the ecLat of suspendins
son of the Secretary of War at the yard arm oil
the Somers. We now believe that Mr.. Sickies
shot Key, not from any sudden impulse, but de-
liberateiy for the notoriety Cat home and abroad
it would occasion, and in the assurance that the
public sentiment would protect him IN killing
the man who had sednced his wife.
All that occurred before, and all that we see
since the homicide, on the part of Mr.. Slckies,
shows reconciliation There is n method" in
what is claimed to be his "mndness." The
guilty intercourse between Mr.. Key aud Mrs.
Sckies existed, in open day. for many months,
and was the occasion of public scandal. Mr.
Sickies himself knew of the existence and the
extent of this scandal long before the denou-
uchL Finally, stimulated by an anonymous
letter, he employed an agent to watch the par
ties. With Confirmation strong as holy writ,
he accused his guilty wife. She confessed, and
then the sharp lawyer instead of the injured
husband, required that her shame should be
written out in words, and atteSted by two wit
ncsSes! Conscious that such thing would eI-
cite indignation, the fallen woman was required
to saw that the written confession was not eS-
torted. And when that shameful confession
was submitted to the court as testimony, and
rejected, it was handed over to the press, to be
given to the public. Of conrse its publication
vas followed by an expression of regret from
Mr.. Sickles.
There is reason to believe that the unlortu-
nate heroine of this tragedy, was not prepared,
either by education or association, to estimate
rightly, the sacredness of her domestic obliga-
tons IL as is affirmed, she was deprived in
her girlhood of those precepts and examples of
modesty and chastity, which form and fortify
female character, her fall is less matter of
surprise than ofregret. Nor, if half that is al
legged in this connection, be true, is Mr.. Sickles
at liberty to exact exemption from inhrmtty in
others.
