A telegram from New York contains
the following highly sensational intelli-
gence:
1.-THE bottom is dropping out of the
State of New Jersey. In Warren county
during the past few days, a number of
deep holes have been suddenly made by
the earth sinking down into some fearful,
unknown, subterranean depths. The
first noticed was in the bottom of the
Morris and Essex canal on the seven mile
level between Broadway and New Village.
All the water in the canal went down
that hole, then half dozen more holes
opened i'll the corn fields and woods, TAX
ing down into the earth great patches of
corn, even sinking trees out of sight. In
addition to this there are scores of great,
long and deep assures. Then, on
Wednesday night, another big hole
opened in the canal. Rumbling noises
were heard under the Methodist church
on Broadway, and nobody will venture
into the building for fear Of its going
down. The widest excitement prevails
among the people, who deem that any
gwen spot of land in all that country is
| liable to plunge through half way to
China at any moment. Prices of real
estate have naturally gone down, as the
real estate itself has. The Morris and
Essex canal is utterly ruined. Its course
must be altogether changed to avoid this
district if it is intended to ever hold wa
ter enough for sunfsh to float in.
The Republicans of Maine have nomi-
mated Gov. Pcrham for recollection.
