Extraordinary Phenomena.


a number of residents of Michigan went
over to Sombra, G. W., some time since, and
commenced. boring, some fifteen or twenty
feet from creek, under tbs belief that oil
would be found. When they had gone dow n
ffty-seven feet they struck vain Of gas
On removing their augur the gas rushed with
great force from the aperture. aud continu-'
ed to throw up dry sand for an hour. It
then ceased, end boring was resumed; but
as soon as this was done the gas rushed up
with such violence as to throw the drill q
piece of iron one and half inches in diam
eter, eight feet long, and weighing ffty-
pounds-slean out of the hole, and it contin.
ued dischsrging up water and stones, some
of the latter weighing twenty-five pounds,
into the air distance of one hundred feet.
The stream widened out to the diameter OF
a barrel, after leaving the hole, and the
quantity was such as to raise the creek COM
siderable above its ordinary level, though it
is here about twenty-five feet wide. After
the flow Of water subsidized the gas was fred.
and an explosion took place which shook the
ground for half mile, and then continued
to throw sheet of fame as high as the wa
ter had previously gone. The flames could
be seen for miles, and were ultimately ex-'
tiuguised with great difficulty. It is thought
that the oil spring, for such it proved to be,
will be one of the best in the country.

A Gaming Story.

The following story is told by German
paper of a young man who had squandered
at the gaming table of one Of the German
Baths his entire fortune, amounting to about
eight hundred. thousand francsl He had
lost. SUCCESSFULLY, his. park, chateau, city
mansion. and country house, and. there re-
mained to the unfortunate gamester, out of
all his estates, only single spot of ground
"a small orange plantation-which he had
carefully excepted frep bis other stakes
The winner, { for his antagonist throughout
had been the same person, was an English
man, pblegmatic and unsoeial in appearance,
but whose curiosity was aroused at the So
licitude of the rash youth for the preserYa-
tien of dilapidated, and seemingly useless
house, containing few boxes Of orange
trees
"What are you going to do with this :"
he asked; :" let us play for it,"
"Never!" replied the young man. "This
orangery is souvenir, relic of my child
hood. My mother has passed many hours
there with me. may die there; l may try
to live there-but would blow out my
brains rather than stake on cards single
flower of those trees!"
1T was just one blossom that I was about
to propose as stake. Since you have moth
ing else, will play with you for that-a
simple orange blossom. Win you consent to
it a"
But what could you wager en- your side
against aower, if should consent to
play? 2"
40, mere trife, of course. |, too, would
sacrifice little sentiment. Here is an au-
tograph, for instance, which will deposit as
wager in the hands of third person.
Tho young man laughed and yielded
Notwithstanding his fial seq timent, he saw
no proclamation in the Offering of flower to
Chance, the god who served him SO i'll. As
the gaae was about to commence, the Engs
lishman said to the young Frenchman-
You swear, on your honor, ifyou win, to
accept the stake, however ridiculous it may
appear to youY"
81 swear-because ! have confidence in
you, my Lord. "
Cards were brought the game commenced
and in few minutes the young man had
gained the mysterious autograph. He re-
ceived it with some emotion; but how great
ly was it increased, when he read dona-
ton, in regular form, of the eight hundred
thousand francs he had lost The blush of
shame mounted to his face. He protested
he refused he declared that the bargain was
null
Il have your word Of honor, =" replied the
Englishman, smiling. "The agreement was
in earnest. fl had won, I should have
claimed the orange blossom You thought
more of your orange trees, for you would not
stake them, than of the 100000 francs. The
match was equal. /"
After two hours of debate, court of hon.
or having examined into and weighed the al
fair eoolly, decided that the Frenchman
could acoept-and he finally did SO, on con"
dition that Lord Z would remain his
dearest friend.

WESTERN LEGAL PEcULIARITIEs The New
York correspondent Of the Boston Journal
furnishes the subjOined ILLUSTRATION of western
legal pecuiiarities: THE members Of the New
York bar had an opportunity to compare their
own mode Of trying eases with that of Ohio. A
cause Of considerable interest wgs tried The
parties and witnesses came from Oaio and the
lswyer for the plaintiff came from the same
State. As is usual in such eases-ss the New
York practice is peculiar-ono Of the New
York bar IS generally associated With the for
eign counsel. But the gentleman who con-
Quoted this cause concluded TO go along alone.
IS nigh. be expected he made many errors
aad exposed himself TO some merTiment. His
mode ofexamining is peculiar. In New York
the questions are short and pointed-the coun-
sci standing-the examination is quite rapid.
Eut the counsel from Ohio sat all the while
cinting his chair on two legs and teetering all
tse while-repeatiDg such answer after the
witness, with '.Yes, sir, f" after each response
{. question. Eyes, sir, you say, sir, and all
the while sort Of smart, pert way of seeming
To- sheer AZ the,witness, which isquitc new with
US, and don't 60 great way with the Court or
Jury, and the summing up was quite as origi-
nal as the examination. 1t was oratorical.
and seemed more like western stump speech
than legal argument. Tho members of New
York hung on the words of the stranger-quite
amused if Eot edited and instructed.
