Freak Of Nature.

We translate the following from
La Union Democratic of San Luis
Potosi: Adjacent to the haciends
of Santa Catariva, about twenty
leagues to the east of this city, .
very remarkable freak of nature has
occurred, the facts concerning which
we have received from q gentleman
who visited the scene. On the 7th
instant the people of the hacienda
and vicinity we're aroused by q
startling noise resembling thunder.
Upon assembling to see what was
the matter it was soon discovered
that a small mountain in the i'm
mediate vicinity had sunk into the
earth and it must have gone out of
sight like flash. Our informant
with others, made observations and
learned that the aperture thus
opened was 200 meters in length,
$50 in width and its depth from 100
to $50 meters. Ii was with great
difficulty that the rim Of the cavern
was approached as all about there
were great yawning fissures which
threatened to open still wider. To
miss step there was danger of
finding grave in the depths be-
meath. Some stones, weighing
about two pounds each, were thrown
into the cavern, and it took from
nine to ten seconds before it struck
the bottom, their contact with the
surface heneath making a great re-
port. After these brief observations
the exploring parties retired hurried
from the scene, as the earth was
trembling and shaking as if upon q
balance. The location OF this re-
markable phenomenon is situated in
terra caliente (warm region,) and
mesquites and palm trees flourish all
about. Whenever any portions of
the earth along the rim of the cav
ern fell into the depths immense
clouds of white dust issued forth.
This dust was carried about by the
winds and made all the trees in the
vicinity perfectly white. Specula-
tion is rife as to whether the noun
tain sank owing to earthquake inAu-
ence or was the result of gas explo-
sions. 1t could rot attributed to
the former very we'll, as no shocks

ely or community, having anght
against us in the way of grievance,
to hold prayer meeting over our
case, and if they will notify us of the
day and hour, we will reciprocate by
praying for them that the good Lord
will endow them with more common
sense. If, after this Christian exer-
else. they are still possessed of the
devil, and feel that they must have
blood or an apology, we hereby give
them full authority to write any re-

PAPER bricks arc being manufac-

There was one point he had to make

and for some days he studied it, but
without any conclusion. One night

over it, and dreamed all night, and in
