Upon entering this chamber We no.
tieed most peculiar disturbance oil the
magnet. the needle continually vibrating
from side to side, and frequently whiri-
ing around for a minute at time, with
velocity to render it invisible. we ALSO
experienced singular sensanon-a sort
OF chill appearing 10 commence AT tne
back of the neck and extending to the
very tips of our fingers and toes. As we
advanced in this chamber We found these
singular sensations to increase IN in,eh-
sity until it became almost uhoearaoie'
We ventured on still further, however,
though it became evident that we couid
not long remain III this mysterious place,
] omitted to mention that the walls and
floor of this chamber, especially particn-
lar rocks therein contained, were highly
magnetic, and became more SO the fur-
Their we advanced toward the north. One
of the party, who carried a hatchet, had
it suddenly wrested from him by mag
netic rock near which he passed, and the
combined strength Of four OF us was IN
sufficient to detach it. A pocket.knite,
which accidentally dropped TO the floor,
had to remain there, none oil the party
having sufficient strength in his hngefs
to pick it up. Mason, Tho had put on
for the occasion a pair of miners boots,
the soles of which were filled with nails,
could walk with difficulty, and happen
ing to step upon portion OF the hoor
unusually magnetic, found himself sud
denly affixed thereto and unable to move.
He was compelled to withdraw his feet
from his boots and leave them there,
tearing up his coat and wrapping the
pieces round his feet to protect them
from being cut by the rocks. We had
remained in this chamber about ten
minutes, when suddenly the chilling SEN
sation began to increase, the feeling be-
ing as if cold and piercing wind was
blowing upon US, and becoming each
moment more intensely cold. We hasti
ly retreated and soon reached, feeling
more dead than alive, the large chameer
containing the hot spring.
A WAsHoE Coal MINE.-Croppings Of
coal have been found IN several localities
in this section of the State since the dis
coyery of the Comstock lode, and some
prospecting has been done in two Oh
three places, but no great amount o.
work has ever been done on any vein II
this vicinity. The place where mos
prospecting has been done is on de
post in Ell Dorado Canyon, about clever
miles above Dayton, Lyon county. Here
about ten years ago, a shaft was sunk t.
the depth of ninety feet and two VEIN
of coal from five to seven feet thick wer,

The last week many of the farmers in this region have been blowing, and some have their oats sowed, but Saturday and Sunday were not the kind of weather that would encourage them in hopes of seeing their seed come up very soon. What with snow. rain and hail, accompanied with high winds and freezing temperature that loaded the trees with ice and snow. This did not seem to be much that looked like the early spring which we have heard talked about so much. We sowed some peas in our garden the other day, and had great anticipations of how we were going to have an early crop that would beat all our neighbors, but alas the second edition of winter came on the very next day, and our peas-where are they now ? O, where ......Many farmers have been sowing their tobacco beds, and the prospect is very fine for large crop in them if this weather should last little longer......E. J. Hurl- burt, our merchant on the Green, has just been laying in very fine stock of spring goods, which are pleasing to behold...... The gunnery is being thoroughly renova- ted in preparation for the summer time which is soon to commence. It is being repainted on the inside......The Shepaug railroad seems to be doing good deal of freight business these days, and the milk business is on the increase. We under stand they are having another new engine built and expect to put on another passen- ger train in Maya much needed accom- modation. X.

CREMAT1oN.-A meeting was held in New York on Friday evening last fer the purpose of taking steps for the formation of an organization favoring this methed of disposing of the dead. The Tribune says
 The question of cremation has gone no short distance on it's way to acceptance when a public meeting is called to discuss it. But it has gone further in Switzerland and Germany. At Zurich, where burial ground is contracted, 2,O0O persons have subscribed toward an association founded in favor of burning the dead. At Basic the movement has received the public ap- proval of orthodox clergymen-also on the ground of promotion of health in the com munity. In Germany the newspapers are talking about the subject great deal, while one firm in Berlin has advertised the inven. ton of new furnace in which to perform the operation. And last, church warden of Jewish synagogue in the same city has proposed to establish on 8 new burial ground, lately acquired, one of these fur paces,

FRIEND PEAsE. The severe snow storm last Sabbath made quite @ marked differ ence in the attendance at the two services. but both pastors were promptly on hand. Our business interests are not without some competition. Besides the four stores men. toned last week, should state that our old friend Meacham, who for more than a quarter of 8 century has been found at his place of business. (when not otherwise en- gaged,) has found rival in the wheel. wright business, in MT. George Barnum. a young mechanic who has opened a shop near the railroad bridge, and Mr. Fowler. whose shop is on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Eastern avenue, finds com petltor in MT. Wm. Dunbar. whose shon ia in Wheelbarrow lane. These sons of Vul- can work tremendously, being far enough apart not to hear the sound of each others hammers on the anvil and at the harness shop. MT. Heaton is eyer on the lookout for any repairs in harness, or to strike a bargain for new set While Friend Horton with awl and last attends to the soles of all well-worn shoes at his shop in the rear of McUrea & Parsons store. If IS not often tn, stove and hardware store are carried on with dry goods and grocer ies, but we have 1t here all under one firm. ......Mr. Myron Decker has started a meat. wagon for the supply of sll our townsmen. ......Dr. Scoville alone remains the prac- tcing physician in our village, and the gen eral good health of the people speak well for his skill, while near at hand is the mar ble works of MT. Shelley, whose tomb stones and monuments of latest style and fine finish may be had......I learn that MT. Roscoe Taft has gone to Saratoga to recruit bis health. PEN HoIDrp

 Sunday, the 26th inst, there was rood sleighing nearly all day. Monday, the 27th inst, the ground remains covered with snow, and the weather is quite wintry. ... John Q. Adams has been elected supervi- sor in the first ward in Negaunee, Mich. Old Cady, an impecunious ventriloquist and blacksmith, has eloped with Ellen Hotchkiss of Dibble Hill. =. The Cornwall Cornet Band received an invitation from the committee of arrangements to take part in the election parade in New Haven, We'd nesday, May 9th {; but owing to the illness of one member and the absence of anoth- CT, they have declined, which is to be re- gretted, as it is compliment to the band and to the town which may not occur again in life time. Last Wednesday evening some of the D. Y. w. Y. K. boys gave an entertainment in thelr new lodge room, consisting of readings, It citations, singing, &c., which was very enjoyable affair. Thomas Wilkinson alias Tommy Dodd,' as slngist, cloggist, acrobat, &c., rendered and was enthusiastically applauded. Mrs. H. c. Crandall has large stock of fash ionable millinery and fancy goods just from New York, which she is selling at anti-iDdation prices. Go and see them be- fore purchasing elsewhere. 1.-The numer- ous friends of E. Fl: Dean, who have pre- scented him as candidate for messenger in the House of Representatives, have no besitancy in saying that he is a young man every way worthy of the position, and if elected. will perform the duties in 8 man. ner highly creditable 10 himself and friends. We trust that the members of the 17th senatorial district will give him their undivided support, and also use all honora ble means with the majority to obtain his election. We do not remember the time when the l7th district have presented a candidate for the place, therefore we use this argument in his favor, viz: locality.

ZAGMW.
 You will doubtless be glad to learn Mr. Editor, that your Kent correspondent, tE- der Sniff1es, has SO far recovered from his recent illness, (caused it is supposed by his severe rental labors in the literary line, ) that he was able as usual to be out riding last Sunday evening with one of his fair neighbors. I most humbly beg his par don for having let the cat out of the bag, or in other words for having informed the readers of THE NEWS that he was the au- thor of the affecting poem in the New Mil ford Journal, when he evidently wished to remain incog. Knowing the extreme bash fulness end modesty of the Elder, which would prevent him from acknowledging himself the author, and my informant be- ing lady in this vicinity, who said that the Elder had even owned the poetry as his own production, considered myself iusti- fled, nay even doing hlm kindness. in giving the credit of the article where it properly belonged. The particular friends of Elder Sniff1es' nave known for long time that he possessed much talent for composing poetry, though heretofore he has confined himself to writing epitaphs for his friends, some of them being exceed ingly touching. I trust that hereafter the Elder will not only continue to exercise his literary talent, but will give his own name to the public instead of nom de plume, not trying to give the laurels earned by himself to those who are too conscientious to keep what belongs to others. For my- self, after reading his effusiou in the last NEWS, was more convinced than eyer that the disputed poem had been credited to the rightful owner. In conclusion I wish I could do as the Elder did end my article with stanza, but alas
 Tain't every man can be poet,
 No more than sheep can be go-et,'
 So with plain prose I'll still keep on,
 And leave the muse to Honest John.'
