CuriOsi;ieS Of the Earth.

At the city Of Modena, in Italy,
and about four miles around it, wher-
ever the earth is dug, when the work
men arrive at the distance Of sixty
three feet, they come to bed of chalk,
which they bore with an auger five
feet deep. They then withdraw from
the pit before the auger is removed,
and, upon its extraction, the water
bursts up through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills this
newly made well, which continues full,
and is affected neither by rains nor
drouths But what is most remarka-
bic in this operation is the layers of
the earth as we descend. At the
depth Of fourteen feet are found the
ruins of an ancient city, paved streets,
houses, floors, and different pieces of
mosaic work Under this is found a
soft, oozy earth, made up of vcgcta-
bles; and at twenty-six feet deep,
large trees entire, such as walnut trees,
with the walnuts still sticking on the
stem, and the leaves and branches in
a perfect state of preservation. AT
twenty-cight feet deep soft chalk is
found, mixed with a vast quantity Of
she'll, and this bed is eleven feet thick
Under this vegetables arc found again

The eventual morning arrived, a
cold, grey morning it was, in July.
The officers were on the ground look
ing over the cliff, which was fully
from ninety to hundred feet above
the sea, and wondering whether Dick
Poole would have the courage to carry
out his wild enterprise. Dick ex-
changed greetings with them cordially,
and brought forward Dan as his COM
pqgnoa du voy0ge. That individual
had already some misgiyings touching
the order of proceedings and when
Dick peremptorily ordered him to
take off his clothes he showed decided
symptoms of his courage oozing, like
that of Bob Acres, from his fingers
ends, Poole, however, whispered Il few
reassuring words in his ear. "Be-

Dan prolonged his unrobing as much
as possible, but at length he stood
trembling IN eaypo, and before he
could distinctly realize his situation he
found himself on his masters back.
CHANGING over his shoulder in mortal
terror, he saw the glazed caps of the
police approaching.

Dick, o..
"Yis, master, dear, yis, only hold on

"Quite close, yer honor" responded
Dan, now becoming quite easy in his
mind.
At this moment a constable sprang
forward, breaking from the officer, who
tried to intercept him. But what was
Dams terror when Dick cluched him
firmly by the legs, and then with
shrill "whoop" like the war shout of
an Indian brave, gave leap over the
cliff.
Dan says he found himself going
under water almost as far as he had
fallen from land. The place was sew
eral fathoms deep, and on their ris-
ing to the surface Dick grabbed his
comrade and bore him safely to boat
which was lying under the surface
prepared for the event. SoDick Poole
won the hundred pounds and Dan
Doherty was none the worse.

The number Of mercantile failures in the
United States, during 1871, is reported at
2,9l5, the aggregate amount OF liabilities
being $50, 2j2, 100. These high figures
show the decentralization subsisting in the
commercial economy Of the country, and
which, in view Of abundant crops and good
average prices, with steady development
of the general industries OF the country,
can be attributed only to an irreleemabie
currency, This pest subjects all CONNER
cial ventures TO contingencies, against
which ordinary foresight and prudence
prove unavailing The result is shown in
the formidable list of business failures, of
which each brings in its train series Of
embarrassments and losses which it is dill
cult to estimate. Those engaged in the
wholesale dry goods trade have been
amongst the largest sufferers
