A Subtcrranean Pond Containing Eyeless
Fish i'm Pennsylvania.
From the Montrose PENN Republican, March l

From the Montrose PENN Republican, March H.
lt is well known that great trouble
and expense have been caused by the
sinking of a portion of the track Of the
new Jefferson railroad where it crosses
swamp in Ararat township, in this
county. 1t has been found that under
this swamp is subterranean pond, of
several acres in extent and of con-
siderable depth. This pond is covered
by about six feet in depth of black
earth, which supports heavy growth of
woods. The trees are mostly soft
maple, pine, hemlock and birch, many
Of them ranging from six inches to
three feet in diameter. Last fall it was
discovered that this subterranean pond
contains many fish. OF the kind usually
found in ponds in this part Of the coun.
try-pickercl and ''shincrs'' among
Others-but all without eyes In the
darkness Of their subterranean abode
they have no use for the organ Of vision.
The Ball Pond, about a mile and n half
distant. is now growing over" A con-
siderable part of it has become subter-
ranean within the last twenty years,
and, probably, before many years it will
be entirely covered like the other. This
pond is about twenty acres in extent
For some distance from the shore it is
filled with Il dense growth of water
lilies, and these, no doubt, furnish the
foundation on which the superstructure
of earth is commenced.

The MOcking Bird.

The hooking bird OF Florida is de-
scribed as rather dissipated character.
He forages about, singing in his neigh
boris vineyard while he robs him. until
the berries of the Pride China are
ripe, then he proceeds to have a regular
irolic, acquires habit Of intoXication.

Gus to see a flock Of these birds at this
time. They become perfectly tipsy,
and fly around in the most comical man.
ner, hiccoughing and staggering Just
like men, mixing up all kinds Of songs,
and interrupting each other in the most
impudent manner, without any regard
to the politeness and decorum that usu-
ally mark the intercourse of all we'll
bred society, whether of birds or men.
They will fly about promiscuously, in
trude on domestic relations, forget the
way home, and get into each others
nests and families, just like the lords of
creation. After the berries are all
gone, and the yearly frolic is over, they
look very penitent, make many good
resolutions, join the temperance society,
and never indulge again until the next
season comes round, and the berries
are ripe once more.

INDIA RUBBER FOR GRArTING.-Some of
the English gardeners have successfully
used strips of India rubber in the place
OF grating wax, being heater, more per-
feet and not soiling the fingers. Sheets
are purchased in market for sixpence
per square foot. They are about as
thick as brown paper. They are OBJ
tanned of the manufacturers of this
article before it is applied to muslin and
other surfaces. The strips cut from it
are about an inch long and an eighth of
an inch wide, for small grating, the
pieces stretching two or three times
their first length. The ends adhere
when pressed firmly with the thumb
and nail, the sheet having been pre-
viously washed and wiped dry.
