A little colored boy sat in a cart in front

He was less annoyed by purchasers than by

VIRGINIA LAND SINKING.
Four Acres Settle Forty Feet in

From the NorfoM IA Landmark.

From the Norfolk (Vd) Landmark.
A Landmark representative called on
Mr.. George P. Calling, the druggist. who
owns farm adjoining his fathers, and
who now uses his fathers farm for raising
stock, to ask him what he had heard of the
wonderful depression of things in Prince
George He showed US a letter from his
father, dated July H. in which the follow
ing reference is made to the phenomenon:
You have doubtless heard Of the phe-
nomenal occurrences here lately. You
know the shape of the hillside from the big
pine tree on the river around by the two
oaks IN front of the house, continuing on to
the point of the big oaks on Mount Alto

the shape of a crescent. Well, every par
ticle Of the inclined hillside has settled per-
pendicularly forty feet all the way be-
tween the points named. 1t was not land
slide, but a settling, the trees remaining up
right as before. There were wide assures
in the little field below, though many small
ones also, all running north and south. You
never saw anyone so astonshed as Ed was

Mr.. Calling says the area of the sunken
the change IS not regarded by the owners as
a disadvantage. His brother has already
written to say that for few hundred dol
lars the space between the house and the
river can now be graded and terraced So as
to make the place more attractive than
ever. There is not the slightest alarm felt
by the occupants of the homestead, and
there is perfectly natural reason for the
apparently mysterious sinking. From what
Mr.. Calling says the river makes a sharp
angle at his farm, being DETECTED by the
obstruction offered by this very hillside
river to burrow under with more
straight course, and the consequences IS
being thrown aside, forming a shoal which
phase of the thing, The volcanic maui
festation was probably the first breach
made in the earth by the influence OF the
miains current. Although 700 hushelN of
sweet potatoes were raised last year on this
now descended ground, the value of the
farm is not thought to be impaired, as Mr..
Gatling is engaged in the extensive culti-
walton of geese this year instead of potatoes.
and, if necessary, he can corral his geese in
this deep hole, and make them safe and
comfortable.
Later advices received through Mr. Cat
ling are to the effect that, while the sink
ing IS unusual in extent, it Is not unprece-
dented in that locality and along the river,
and no Importance is attached to it.
