A CURIOUS pHENoMrNoN.

In Castle District, at point about five
miles north of this city, is tunnel that
may be called an ex-tunnel. 1t is a tun-
mel that demonstrates against being a
tunnel. 1t was run about four years
ago into the side of . steep hill, and was
originally about forty feet in length.
When in about fifteen feet the tunnel
cut into soft, swelling clay, very diff
cult to manage. After timbering and
striving against the queer, spongy ma.
terial till it had been penetrated some
twenty.fv feet, the miners gave up the
fight, as they found it a losing game
Being left to its own devices, the tun.
mel proceeded to repair damages. 1t very
plainly showed that it resented the
whole business, as its first move was tn
push out all the timbers and dump them
down the hill. 1t did not stop at that,
but projected from the mouth of the tun-
mel pith or stopper of clay the full size
of the excavation. This came out hori-
zontally some eight feet, as though to
look about aud see what had become Of
the miners, when it broke off and rolled
down the slope. In this way it has been
going on until there are some hundreds
of tons of the clay at the foot of the hill.
At first it required only about week
for plug to come out and break of,
then a month, and so on till now the
masses are elected but three or four times
per year, yet the motion continues, and
to-day the tunnel has the better of the
Eight by about four feet.-[virginia En-
terprise.

GRAND JURY,s REPORT.

The Grand jury made their report to
Hon. Henry Rives, District Judge, on
Wednesday. the 18th instant, and were
discharged. The following is the report
submitted by Geo. I. Terry, Chairman
of the Grand Jury:
We have had before us and disposed Of
an unusually large amount of bushes.
We strongly recommend that the law in
reference to minors should be strictly ell.
forced. We have examined the books Of
the various county officials and have
found them in fair condition. Counted
the money in the hands of the County
Treasurer and found it correct. The
county buildings are in tolerably good
repair; sufficient for all necessary pur-
poses. The Phoebe schools are in an or
derby condition, with efficient teachers.
Repairs are necessary to the furniture of
the school-rooms, which we recommend
should be attended to without delay.
The books Of the Superintendent Of
Schools were examined and found to be
correct. The roads of Lincoln county
are in fair condition.
The following is special report made
in reference to the finances of Lincoln
county, and is for the consideration Of
our Representatives in the Legi Stature:
Your Committee appointed to draft a
re olution, the sense Of this Grand Jury,
beg leave to submit the following: That
we request our Representatives in the
Legislature to oppose any legislation,
either by bill or referring to all the coun.
ties i'll the State, or to Lincoln county,
