physicians who make speciality Of

THE V1RGlNIA VEsUvIUS.

A correspondent writing from the
Peaks of Otter to the Lynchburg (Va)
Naes, confirms the apprehensions cx-
pressed by that paper of volcanic
eruption. He says: "Now. we don't
know how you came TO find it out, but
the fact is that we are having an awful
time of it. II isn't pleasant to have
your crockery all smashed, your dog
scared and your cat run off Our the
ory is that the Peaks of Otter is an cx-
tinct volcano, and there are many con
vincing arguments in support of this
position. To illustrate A few years
ago DIR. Won Eichburg, of Germany,
who spent more than fifty years in
studying volcanic phenomena, and an.
alyzcd many of the stones found about
Mount Hecla and Mount Vesuvius,
visited the Peaks of Otter and Flattop
mountain, and averrcd that the stones
there found were idcntically the same
in character as those found in the
vicinity Of the volcanoes. He went
even further, and said that the Peaks
of Otter was liable at any time to sub
merge the town of Liberty with an
avalanche of lava. People laughed at
the Doctor then, but they don't smile
worth cent lately. The truth is,
that things here are, in the language
of n well known darkey, awful onsar-
tin.' The shock which shook up Lynch
burg and walked the sinners Of that
wicked burg to sense of their ruined
condition, not only made things
tremble around there, but has kept up
its nonsensical gyrations ever since.
Every night somebody imagines the
top rock is tumbling from its dizzy
height ON the peak the store is closed,
the distillery deserted, and everybody
wears n sanctimoniousfac Thevibra.
tons arising from this singular phc-
nomenon are understood to be from
south to north, and there is scarcely
an hour that they are not felt, the
severcst shocks being always at night.

Nor IN THE FAMILy.-An old Dc
troiter took home two jugs the other
day, one labeled "Boiled Oil and the
other "Turpentinc.' They wereplaced
in the barn, and pretty soon II was
noticed that the old man had business
there at regular intervals. His Oldest
son slyly followed him and saw him
take. deep draught from one of the
jugs. The old man heard a step out
side, and before going out he arranged
those jugs according to his artistic
taste. lie was hardly gone when the
son skipped in and took drink from
the jug out of which he supposed bis
father drank. The next moment he
wes sputtcring, coughing and gasping
and the old man entered and asked
"Turpentino doesn't agree with you
does IL Z"
"But Isaw you'd II I" exclaimed
the injured and indignant son.
"rhat is true" said the old man
whilc q beautiful smile played ovei' hi'
face, "butit doesn't necessarily follow
that tho rest Of the family must relisl
turpentine because do"

space and is putting up case for the
display of its mighty work. Princeton
