SINGULAR DEATH AND RESURRECTION
following remarkable case is from the AL,
bany Knickerbocter, of Wednesday Might
before last a child of William Wells, resid-
ing in the town of Bethlehem, short dis
tance from the city, died rather suddenly.
To all appearances the child was dead, and
it was accordingly prepared for the grave,
and actually laid in the coffin. The coffin
containing the body was placed in the front
room, after having been thus arranged, and
the family retired The funeral was to have
taken place yesterday. During the night,
however, Mr.. Wells heard noise in the
front room, and supposed it was the cat or
dog that had got in there. He went in to
drive it out. Imagine his surprise to find
the body of the child turned in the coffin
He raised it up and the little thing opened
its eyes, looked up and commenced crying.
Life, animated life was there The fathers
heart leaped with joy. The mother again
clasped her child to her bosom The phy
sician was sent.for, and the whole neigh
borhood were soon aroused. Nourishments
were administered, and the child yesterday
was doing well.

How THE PARsoN cor ExcuED-A few
years since, near the city of n, in Connec-
ticut, lived and preached old Parson b.,
who was bit excitable and near.sighted.
One day he had been to the city with his
horse, and among his purchases was bar
rel of -four, one head of which was partial
ly out.
On the way home, the old man was over
taken and passed by fast young man
driving fast horse, and putting on airs.
Now, the parsons horse was usually
quiet steady ygoing animal enough, but he
couldn't stand that, so he started after him
on the fast order in 2:40, in good earnest.
The jolting of the wagon at length jar
red the head completely out Of the barrel,
and the strong wind which wa blowing
directly after the pastor, blew the -four all
over him and the horse.
AT last the young man was left behind,
and the village reached /; but the speed of
the horse was not checked. In driving
through street to reach his home, ne came
in contact with one of his deacons, who
was naturally surprised to see his minister
driving at such pace, and signaled him
to stop.
Why, Parson b." said he, what on
earth is the matter You seem greatly ex-
cited"
Excitedp yelled the old man, :. excited!
who wouldn't be excited-snow storm in
July. Get up, Dobbin."
The deacon smiled, but was silent.

DEPTHS OF THE SEA-A French journal
says that the souLdings effected with refer
ence to the new transatlantic cable have
enabled comparisons to be made of the diff
ferent depths of the sea. Generally speak
ing, they are not of any great depth in the
neighborhood of continents thus the Bal
tic, between Germany and Sweeden,is only
l2O feet deep ; and the Adriatic, between
Venice and Trieste, l30 feet The greatest
depth of the channel between France and
England does not exceed 800 feet, while
to the Southwest of Ireland, where the sea
is open, the depth is more than 1000 feet.
The seas to the South of Europe are much
deeper than those in the interior. In the
narrowest part of the Straits of Gibralter
the depth is only 1000 feet, while little
more to the East it is 5000 feet On the
coast of Spain the depth is nearly {, 900 feet.
At $50 miles South of Nantucket (South OF
Cape Cod no bottom was found at 1000
feet. The greatest depths of all are to be
met with in the Southern Ocean. To the
West of the Cape of Good Hope l6, 900 feet
have been measured, and to the West of
st. Helena 81 900. Dr. Young estimates
the average depth of the Atlantic at 5000
feet and of the Pacific at 10000 feet.

The PACIFIC RAnwAY-The Chicago pa
pers contain lengthy accounts of the re-
ception given by that enterprising city to
the excursionists who have recently return
ed from trip on the line of the Union Pa
cifc railway to point two hundred and
seventy-fve miles west of Omaha. 1t is
claimed at when fifty miles of incomplet-
ed railway in Iowa are finished, Chicago
will have an air railway line extending
towards the base of the Rocky Mountains
for 500 miles. The Pacific railway thus re-
ferred to traverses Nebraska. Another
party of excursionists recently left Phiia-
delphia to examine the Pacific railway line
stretching westward from ST. Louis through
Missouri to Kansas City, and thence along
the Smoky Hill route through Kansas to
Colorado. 1t is being built as rapidly as
its northern rival, and already stretches be-
yond Fort Riley, from whence it is to be
extended nearly three hundred miles dur
ing the coming year

TELLING TREES BY FIRE.-The idea of burn
ing down tree six or eight feet in diane
ter, and solid and green, would have seem
ed to me simply absured and ridiculous
But the thing is done in Oregon every day,
at vast saving of time and labor. The
operation is done in this wise A hole is
bored into the tree horizontally, the nearer
the centre the better Then directly under
this hole another is bored at an angle of ell
ovation, So that the holes meet together
near the centre of the tree. A coal of fire
is introduced into the orifce the lower
hole makes draught, and the upper one
performs the function of chimney. The
heart of the tree is dry and contains con-
considerable quantity of pitch, and when
manipulated, as | have described, burns
brskly.
1t is necessary to feed this fire with some
fresh fuel from time TO time. But one man
can keep a large number of trees thus
burning, and will get twenty or hundred
down thus, much quicker and easier than
he could otherwise do In similar man
ner, when the tree is down, it is cut into
pieces by being burned in two. A hole is
bored into the log from the top, and anoth-
er from It's side, until they meet as before
described, when the perpendicular hole acts
as tlue and the horizontal one furnishing
the draught. 1t often happens that in burn
ing large tree into lengths for, saw-logs,
there is not more timber wasted than would
result from the chopping of the log with an
axe.

WATER SPoUTs OF THE GREAT BAsIN-One
of the remarkable phenomena Of the great
interior basin of Western America, be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra
Nevadas, is the water spouts, or great
masses of water that fall suddenly out of
the clouds, and tear down the valley like a
tornado of water. A late Virginia, Neva-
da paper, says:
The citizens of Dayton were thrown
into state of excitement the day before,
by the news from Eldorado cannon that
water spout had bursted, and was destroy
ing erything in its maddened course, as
it swept along to the Carson river.
Piles Of wood were carried away as if
they were bundles of straw and it is sup
posed that a number of woodchoppers, who
resided i'll the cannon, have been lost, as
there were a great many persons engaged
in wood cutting there This water spout
equals the one which occurred in Esmaral-
da county two years ago, when party,
consisting of Mr.. Hugh Glenn, his wife
and mother, were then travelling in a car
riage. The water spout burst upon them,
killing Glenn's wife and mother, and des-
troying the carriage.
One OF Ine AOrSeS was so Dauly bruised
that he died shortly after. Last week
water spout burst in Austin, Nevada, and
for short time the main street was flood
ed, destroying abode houses, injuring
stores, &c The amount Of damage was
several thousand dollars. These water
spouts account for the Typographical ap-
pearance of the country, which shows that
they have been quite frequent, and the
large boulders that are seen isolated on
alkali flats and deserts, no doubt have
been washed there by water spouts.

A WoMAN's FIGHT WITH INDIANs.-The fol-
lowing is from the Tehama, California;
Observer:
L. Hessick, who runs pack train be-
tween Red Bluff and Hayfork of Trinity,
gives the particulars of daring exploit of
a lady. Mrs. Sarah Donelson, formerly a
resident of Red Bluff, is living in log
house on the trail with her children and
her father A few days ago her father
went out hunting stock, and Mrs. Donelson
was looking after her poultry, a short dis
tance from the house. Suddenly five In
dians made their appearance. Mrs. Doncl-
son started for the house, and was inter
cepted by two Indians. Throwing them
from her, a third caught her by the shout
der. She knocked him down, and reachin O
the house in safety, barred the door, The
Indians rested one or more rifles on the
window, leveled at the woman, who ap-
preached them, took down her fathers rifle
and returned the fire of the Indians through
the apertures or chinks of the log house
On attempting to cock her gun Mrs Donel-
son found that the thumb Of her right hand
had been shot away by an Indian bullet,
but using her left hand, she soon had the
pleasure of knowing that her would be mur-
derers had retreated whether with whole
hides or not she could not tell Muscle,
courage and selfpossession won a victory
one against five, and that one woman.
We challenge the State to exhibit an in
stance in Indian fighting wherein a woman
has acquitted herself more creditably.

This rapid increase in the shipments from

This rapid increase in the shipments from
Tioga county, was occasioned by the ex-
tension of their railroad transportation
from Corning, (where the coal had been
previously shipped on small canal to
Watkins, at the head of Seneca Lake, the
head of navigation also by large boats on
the enlarged canals of the State of New
York. Much was also due to the larger
amount of capital invested in the business
In that region-the opening of extensive
mines, building houses for miners, and pro-
viding an abundance Of locomotives, cars
and boats, aid to the enterprise and vigor
with which the business was prosecuted.
A large boat could be loaded at Watkins
with 200 tons and run to Troy, the largest
and most distant market, and return, in
about two weeks while from Towanda, a
boat could only carry rs tons, (incre ased
to 80 tons from Elmira,) and run to Troy
and back in months time When to these
disadvantages are added the small number
of small boats on these lateral canals, and
the much larger number of large boats on
the Erie Canal, which cannot enter the
small canals, it will be seen that the To-
wanda coal region has been entirely behind
the times, and could not expect to compete
in tonnage with the Tioga region, especial
ly as the latter also had railroad market
from their mines direct to Buffalo, Roches-
ter and other principal points, without
change of guage, winter and sum mer, while
Towanda had canal only.
