According to an English paper 1.-THE
only place in which amber in paying
quantities has been found is the Bal.
tic Sea, and the vein extends from
Western Russia to Denmark, Norway
and Sweden. Formely the supply de-
pended on the storms, which tore up
the amber lying at the bottom Of the
sea and threw it on shore: but for
twenty-five years past various appll.
ances have been used for obtaining it
cheaply and quickly. The most pro-
fitable strata have been found in the
vicinity of Mcneil, and there are twenty
large dredging boats constantly at
work day and night for eight months
of the year. Further to the west am.
Der is obtained by divers. Each diver
has little bag round his neck and a
peculiar h )ok, with which he pulls up
the sand, and every piece of amber
that he finds is thrown into the bag.
Amber is also mined, from the stratum
of green sand in which it is found ex-

Michael German, of Brooklyn, has
just been released from the Sing Sing
Penitentlary after serving thirty.two
years, eight months and twenty.one
daye. He was sentenced for life for
killing Charles Johnson on July 4, 1855,
but his term was committed by Gov.
Hill. German had been a model
prisoner during his whole term of SER
vice. When taken down to New York
City by friends on Tuesday last
he was almost dazed by the marvellous
changes which had taken place in that
city, and Brooklyn, since his incar-
ceration, and was unable at first to
recognize many of his old acquain-
tances, whose faces had grown out Of
his memory. When at last he sat
down to fine dinner prepared for
him by relatives, he was unable to eat
and sat down nibbling at his food and
starting now and then as if he feared
that he should be ordered back to his
cell.
