German Ocean Ono. DRY.

The German Ocean, or North Sea, like the
English Channel, was once an inland plain
or valley raised far above the sea level
The sea has but recently invaded this de.
pressed plain, submerged its forests, and
suspended its river courses. The buried
trees of its sunken forests are still standing,
rooted in their own vegetable soil, although
beneath the waves. Cromer forest, which
dips into the water from the coast of Nor.
folk, is the most famous of the submerged
forests Of the German Ocean. The ancient
woodland has been traced at low tide for
more than forty miles At certain seasons
and especially after great storms, the stumps
of oak, alder, yew and scotch fir are seen
standing upright in the water. The cOndi-
tion Of the wood and the fir cones-some of
the latter evidently bitten by animals-tells
us that the sinking Of the land occurred at
no distant period in the history of our coun-
try. The remains of land animals, too, as
well as OF the forests they inhabited, are dis
covered in the bed of the German Ocean
In his "Physical Geography of Norfolk
Mr.. Woodward tells US that in fifteen years
the fisherman of the village of Happisburgh
dragged up from their oyster beds as many
as two thousand teeth OF mammoths. Bones
and tusks Of mammoths have also been fish
ed up from these watcry depths. 1t takes
US back to the time when the European
mainland, instead Of ending rs it does to-day,
with the coasts of Norway and France,
stretched far westward in one unbroken area,
beyond the present coast of Ireland. These
were the ilourishing days in the forests of
oak, chestnut and alder and yew, which arc
now submerged in the German Ocean and
the English Channel

Che Nurthtrn STIR.
Celebrate IA al SnohomI.,,,
SATURDAY, MAY Is, 1876.

We call attention to the recommendation OF
our County Commissioners, for the 4th Of
July Celebration OF the Centennial year.
We fully endorse their recommendations, and
suggest that a meeting be called by our cti.
zens, say about the last Monday of this
month, for the purpose of periecing all'nec.
essary arrangements for complete county
celebration of all our local county interests,
as we'll as for preserving all facts of pcrma,
ncnt value relating to our local history from
the settlement of our county, to this date.
If Seattle, or some other of the older and
larger towns on the Sound, had shown dis.
position to try to represent our local history,
and allow us representative share in their
celebration, we should say, forego local
home celebration, unite at some central
point, and celebrate the history and develop,
mcnt of the whole Sound country there
This point, some months since, was urged
by our people; no attention has been paid
to the matter. Now it certainly is best tc
celebrate all of our own interests at home
Who will take the lead. We will contribute
our share.
