Some two years since, Mr.. Gray, proprie-
tor of The Aurora Hotel, sank an ariesian
well npon his premises TO the depth of v
eniy-nine feet, finding copious supply of
water. About eight months since, sounds of
roaring. az of the tall of a distant cascade
We're heard in the we'll. These sounds con-
tiuue to be heard at regular intervals ard
are at times very loud aud bDislerJus Every
other day, abont midnight. the sounds com-
mence. aud Continue Tor twelve hvurs, and
have been known TO be so violent as to ava
ken persons sleeping in the house. A per-
son who has recently visited this we'll, tells
US that The roaring resembles The troubled,
bpiing. foaming sounds, TO be heard at a
little distance fIom Mag IRA Falls. Ii would
| seem thai tas singular phenomenon is wor-
thy of a scientific investigation, that its cause
may, if possible, be fully discovered. 1t is
now the opinion Of some that the sounds
are caused by a subterranean cascade. but
why they are Intermittent seems mysterious.
A singular feature connected with the
| matter is, that al the time the roaring is
heard the water from the we'll is warmer than
