CURIosITIEs OF THE uARTH.

In digging at the city of Modena il
Italy, and about four miles around it
when the workmen arrive at the depth Of
63 feet, they come to a bed of chalk
which they bore with an auger five feet
deep. They then withdraw from
the pit before the auyer Il removed. and
upon It's extraction the water bursts up
through the par!ure with great io'ence
and quickly fills this new made we'll
which when full, is affected neither by
rain or drought. But that which is
most remarkable is, that at the depth Of
fourteen feet are found the remains of an
ancient city paved streets, houses.
floors, and different pieces Of mosaic.
Underneath soft earth made up chiefly
of vegetable matter; and ut the depth of
@6 feet large tree entire, such as a
walnut tree, with the walnu!s still on the
stem, and the leaves and branches in a
state of preservation. AT % feet deep,
soft chalk is found. mixed wi h vast
quantity Of ST ellis; and this bed is | tee.
thick. Under it vegetables are found a.

A TERRIBLE SCENE AT SEA---A SHIP
AMONG THE IOEBERGs.

On her last voyage from Australia t,
Liverpool, the Australian packet, Roya
Standard, narrowly escaped destruction b,
contact with an enormous iceberg off Cape
Horn. The following graphic narrative
from the pen of one of the passengers, il
published in the English papers:
| was very recently a passenger from
Australia to Liverpool, on board of one o
the noblest ships. the Royal STANDARD, be,
longing to the celebrated "Whte Star" line
of packets. We were upward of three hun.
dred adults on board. exclusive of the Cap
tain. officers, stewards and ssventy-one
crew, and had as a cargo three thousand
bales of wool and Gl20,O00 worth of gold
After the genial intertropicaI climate of the
autipo1es we rapidly approached the Horn,
when the weather became Intensely cold
Morning, noon and night groups of pas
sengers huddled or crept round the huge
flinnel of our ship, for we were an auxiliary
crew, to gather little extra warmth. On
Sunday, April s, latitude 56 degrees south.
longitude 149 degrees west, we saw the first
iceberg, and beautiful sight it was.
Monday, April 4th, opened with tlich,
hazy weather and a good breeze before
which we were going, without steam, ten
knots an hour, apprehensive Of no danger.
Suddenly we ran into a dense fog, and al
most Immediately one of the double look
out gave the alarm, Broken water ahead"
and almost Immediately after, "ice on the
starboard bow!' AT that moment l was
writing the newspaper | conducted on board
in the engineers mess-room, but hearing
the noise, and ominons cry, "Helm hard a
starboard,' I rushed on deck and looking
over the buIwarks saw, to my horror, an
immense mountain Of ice towering far
above our maintop- gallantmast, which was
two bundled feet above the er-liue, and
so close to us that any man could have
jumped on to it.
AL hands were Immediately Summoned
on deck, and everything done to prevent
what now appeared inevitable--a collision
between our ship and the iceberg, The
yards we're trimmed, the sails adjusted, and
done to prevent this fearful
catastrophe, but in vain. The monster
of ice drew nearer and nearer to
u.s. and we drifted nearer and nearer to it
At length the inevitable moment came; one
heavy roll of the ship, and the yards Of the
foremast grated right into the solid mass Of
ice, tearing out and hurting down upon the
eck'imnenss blocks Of ice, some of them
Of enormous size. AT the same mement

which,, when l did hear. every word
burnt in upon my very brain. 1t was
of murder that had been committed the
night before at a low lodging house in
nelghboring street; man sent into eter-
nifty by knife thrust in the dark, and
the perpetrator escaped, | waited trans
fixed until heard that the victim was
dead, and then with groan of horror !
staggered toward the door. At that in
stint a burly boatman was entering with
a basket, and with blind fury | rushed
upon him, and with the natural effort to
save myself from falling, l drew out my
bloody hand, and stretched it before me.
IL was toe late then for condealment, and
before | knew what had occurred, | was
in the clutches of the baker, and had con.
fessed myself the murderer CT the night
before.
"That night / slept in a prison cell,
better by far than the lodging of the night
before, and the next day, surrounded by
my father and relatives, was examined on
the charge Of murder. | made full
confession, when the staggering fact came
out that my murder had been committed
at least three streets from the one for
which | was arrested, and in another
hour. by sending for the keeper of the
lodging house where l had stayed, the
whole tearful mystery was nnravelled.-
The room, or den, had occupied adioin.
ed a place where calves were slowed, tied
by the legs as they were brought from
the tow boats at the warf, to await the
coming of the butchers in the morning.
On the morning of my flight, one Of these
poor animals was found dead In this
place from q knife thrust done through
the boards from the lodging house, and
the butcher to whom it belonged had
clamored loudly for payment from the
keeper, who laid all the responsibility on
his departed lodger myself.
"My father paid for the calf, and
returned home a sadder and more sub
dued boy, and from that day to this, sir.
l think have never had an inclination
to commit murder. A all events, this is
the only ohe that l ever did commit"
Thank you, Mr.. briggs"
