Two young men Of this city varied the
monotony of their lives with boat ride
last Sunday afternoon, on the placid waters
of the st. Joseph. After rowing as far as
Denslow' island. some % miles above the
city, they landed, and finding neat, gras-
50 plot near the center Of the island, they
whiled away the afternoon with ''euchre
deck When the settngsun admonished
them that it was time to return to the city,
they proceeded to embark and would have
done so, but for one little circumstance
the boat was gone. After vainly endeav-
oring to attract the attention Of passers-by
on the Mishawaka road, and not relishing
the idea of remaining all night on the
island, they accepted the only alternative

AS the shades of eve came slowly down.
two young men "might have been seen"

In digging through the hill west of
town, for the purpose of laying the track
Of the junction railroad, several pieces of
decayed wood, resembling cedar, have
been found, buried far below the surface
Some of the pieces were eighteen inches
in diameter. We have small piece in
our office which was found forty
three feet below the surface, although
most of the other pieces discovered were
not found at SO great depth. The earth
where the cut is being made is composed
principally of clay, some of it very hard,
and of blue color There is no native
cedar growing in this section, and how this
wood became buried where it was found
will afford matter of speculation for the
curious and scientific. Mussel shells have
also been found in this cut, but nearer the
surface than the wood ConnersciNe
