(strange Phenomenon.
The inhabitants of the Basket Sta
tion, on tbe Delware division of the
Erie railway, were treated to a first
class sensation. About two miles
north of tbe place, tbree acres of land.
heavily tiocbered with hemlock, occu
pying an elevated position, suddenly
sank below the surface, disappearing
in a manner similar to a load of dirt
when the bottom is let out of the
wagon. There was no apparent cause
but it certainly has sunk to the depth
of about 40 feet, leaving tbe tops of
the trees just visible above the surface
lne sinking was accompanied by
loud crash, which died away in a dull
rumble, beard at considerable distance,
The trees are standing in their natural
positions, having evidently experienced
no particular injury in their descent,
It is nsnal wben such freaks of -nature
occur, for the sunken earth to be
immediately submerged by volumes of
water, but in tbis instance no such
phenomenon attends. Tbe. toil is of
clayey nature, the sides of the ebasm
formed by the sinking present a smooth
and even appearance, as if a huge
spade had been tbrust down, and the
earth thrown out.
Tbe ptople at tbe Basket, and from
toe surrounding country for miles, vis
ited tbe scene of the phenomenon on
&unaay,ftnd visited with awe and eon
sternatioo. They don't like w be close
to wnare trie bottom seems to be drop

Swamp Lands. ' "
A few days ago we gave a list of tbe
Deputies appointed by the Board of
Commissioners for the sale of school
and university lands. It will be the
duty of these Deputies to receive, in
their respective districts, applications
for the location of swamp or over
flowed lands. As tbis is a matter or
much importance, we give below a
letter from the Commissioner of tbe
U. S. Land Office on the subject, which
will be found interesting to parties in
tbis State as well as to those in Cali
fornia to whom it more particularly
applies :
DEPARTMENT OF THE IHTEBIOR,")
Gkheral Land Orrics, . J
November 21st 1870. J
Hon. C. Delano, Secretary of tho
Interior Sir: In the administration
of the Act of 23d Jnly, 1860, to quit
land titles in the State of California
so far as the same relates to swamp
lands it has been found that great
embarrassment has been experienced
in tbe adjustment of tbat class of
swamp lands provided for in the fourth
section of the Act referred to.
It is alleged on the part of the State
that where tbe Deputy Surveyors re
turn as dry lands tracts which may be
claimed to be. otherwise by tbe State,
sbe can assert tbat claim before the
United States Surveyor-General, and
be entitled to an investigation as to
the real character of the land, pending
which tbe tracts tbus in controversy
must remain in suspension. Tbe prac
tical working of this construction of
tbe liw bus been to withdraw from
market extensive tracts of land which
the record evidence shows to be dry, but
to which the State, or parties claiming
to bold title under tbe State, have set
up a claim as swamp. Even tbe oper
ations of the pre-emption and home
Stead laws are to be ineffectual until
tbe tracts thus withheld are passed
upon by investigation before the Surveyor-General.
In numerous letters
received by tbis office from prominent
individually in California, it is repre
sented tbat tbe lands thus claimed to
be swamp are among the most valuable
of agricultural lands, and tbat great
injustice is wrought to tbe individual
settler upon them from the fact that be
is, as a general thing, too poor to con
test tbe title with tbe more wealthy
swamp claimant. If tbe construction
referred to Is to obtain, the practical
result must be to allow tbe swamp
claimants the opportunity of placing
in suspension every acre of unsold
public land, regardless of its character
or the legitimacy of the alleged swamp
claim.
To prevent further embarrassment in
tbis matter, tbe Surveyor General was
the 3d instant instructed to suspend
all further investigation in these cases
until otherwise advised, and in order
tbat we may be governed in the future
by tbe decision of the Honorable Sec
retary in the premises, tbe whole mat
ter is herein submitted with the request
that such advisory opinion may be
given as may be adopted as tbe true
construction of tbe law referred to.
From a careful investigation of the
statute, I am of opinion that the legis
lation referred to was intended ,o
reach only such land as are shown by
tbe field notes or other evidences of
record, to be swamp, and hence tbat
the withdrawal from market of lands
shown to be uplands by such record
evidence should not be permitted, even
though tbe claim may be alleged tbat
they are of a reverse character.
Tbe law deals with sicamp lands, but
there must be some limit to the scope
of inquiry as to what are and what
are not swamp lands, and tbat limit
can better hi prescribed by the record
evidence of disinterested parties as
found in the field notes in surveys,
than in any other way.
To act otherwise is to open a way
for tbe suspension ot every acre of un
sold land in tbe State to await tbe te
dious details of a prolonged investiga
tion, which cannont be otherwise than
expensive and embarrassing to all con
cerned. It may be proper to state tbat early
legislation will in all probability be
taken to meet tbe objectionable fea
tures of existing laws, and that the
construction of thestatute herein indi
cated affords in tbe meantime tbe ojly
protection which we may give to the
interests of tbe Government as well as
to that of individual settlers.
I have tbe honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
Signed Jos. S. Wilson,
Commissioner.

COUNTY.
From tbe Regiiter : Last Saturday,
Mr. Simpson, one of tbe employees at
tbe Froman Buildings, while "truck
ing" wheat, fell and dislocated his

showed tbat some of tbe metacarpal
bones were broken.
A son of F. T. Smith, living some
seven miles from tbis city, while chop

One day last week Wm. Rice, the
telegraph operator at tbis point, was
stunned and almost thrown from his

Speaking of tbe delights of moving
day, the Utica Herald says that from
tbe moment vtteo the first tack is
pulled from tbe dusty carpet until the
last load of furniture is piled up in ev
erybody's way, the day is one of fever
ish interest and mental torture. We
know of no more deserving object of
pity than a respectable man following
a dry load of goods, and watching one
after another of his cheiisbed articles
of house furniture as they fall in tbe
mud or get marred and broken by rob
bing and jolting against each otber,
with a pillow case lull of towels under
the left arm, be is unable to do any
thing for the preservation of his prop
erty. To tbe father: Daughter Well,
to tell the truth, I did not think much

Skating. We visited the slough,
above town yesterday, and were sur
prised to find so many people ecjoying
the healthy exercise. Everything was
going as merry as a marriage bell
with but few exceptions, and those
were tbe unfortunates who could not
persuade their feet that it was highly
proper for them to be tbe base of oper
ations. Two or three persons who
ventured out too far received a
cold water bath for their trouble.-

The Squire and His Wire.
Tbe Squire bad a friend to visit bim
on business, and was very much an
nyoed at being interrupted by bis wife,
who came to ask bim what be wanted
for dinner.
'Go awny ! let us alone I" impa
tiently said the Squire.
Business detained tbe friend nntil af
ter dinner-time, and the Squire urged
bim to remain.
Tbe Squire was a generous provider,
proud ot bis table, and be complacent
ly escorted bim to a seat. A little to
the surprise of both, tbey saw nothing
on tbe board, but a bnge disb of salad,
which the good wife beg-itt to dish up.
"My dear," said the Squire, "where
are the meats?"
There are none to-day," replied the
lady.
"No meats?" What in tbe name of
poverty J Tbe vegetables then I Why
don't you bave tbem brought up?"
You didn't order any."
"Order! I didn't order anything !"
Ob, you forgot," coolly answered
tbe house-wife. "I aeked you what
we should bave, and you said, 'Lettuce
alone.' Here it is."
The friend burst into a laugh, and
the Squire, after looking lugubrious a
moment, joined bim.
"Wife, I give it np. I owe you one.
Here is tbe fifty dollars you wanted for
that carpet I denied you." Tbe
Squire forked over. "Now let us bave
peace, and some dinner."
The good woman pocketed tbe mon
ey, rang the bell, and a sumptuous re
pas', of tish, poultry and vegetables
was brought in.
A few days afterwards tbe Squire re
mained working in bis garden some
time after tbe usual tea hour. His
excuse, when asked what he was wait
ing for, threw her into a flutter of ex
citement.
"Some one's to come to supper," he
exclaimed.
"Why didn't you tell me? I declare
you are provokiugest man I"
And without asking which of bis
friends was expected, she hastened to
change ber dress and slick up her hair
for tbe occasion. Tbis done, she came
out, and found tbe Squire seated at the
table reading bis newspaper-
"n here a your company 1"
"My company I I haven't any com
pany."
"But you said you expected some
body to supper," said tbe indignant
wite.
'My dear, I said no such thing.
You asked me what I was waiting for,
and I said summom to come to supper.
That's wbat I was waiting for my dear,
and I came at once."
"And you bave made me go and
change my dress. Ob. I'll pay you for
this."
"No matter about it my dear : I
owed yon one, you remember, for tbat
lettuce."
Tmi-TELLI10"A1'T STBAgBOCBO. An
extraordinary piece of machinery,
hich in 1842 took the place of the
ancient but much less perfect horologe,
was inaugurated in presence of a meet
ing of tbe scientific bodies of France,
assembled at Strasbourg in 1842. Be
sides showing the apparent time, the
exact bours of the risinu and the set-
ing of tbe sun for each day in tne year,
the zodiacal sign for the particular sea
son, and tbe day of tbe week, it calcu
lates tbe eclipse of the sun and of tbe
moon, and performs a variety of otber
astronomical equations. Id addition,
it indicates diurnally the ecclesiastical
period. These, for tbe learned, are
its great achievements ; but for "tbe
general public" it possesses properties
more easily appreciable and more en
tertaining. Some one of the gods
comes out of a sanctum tanctorum
each twenty-four hours, as emblemati
cal of tbe day of tbe week, and re
mains as tbe center-piece on a raised
platform till tbat day is succeeded by
another. Tbus, when 1 saw tbe clock,
Mercury, ic a chariot and pair, was
doing duty on Wednesday. On a
stage below tbe divinity of tbe day are
two angels, one seated beside a bell,
tbe otber holding an hour glass. Over
the god is another platform, having on
it a bell, beside which Hands Death
holding a bone. Near Death is a sec
end bell, on which tbe quarters are
tolled. At tbe first quarter of each
hour an infant comes out of an in
closure aud strikes the bell ; at tbe
second, a youth; at tbe third, a man in
the prime of life ; and at tbe fourth, a
boary-beaded veteran. Tbe angel be
low also strikes the quarters. Tbe
hour is struck by Death himself, with
bis bone hammer, tbe angel turning
tbe hour glass at tbe same moment.
But at noon each day the great popu
lar performance of tbe clock is to be
witnessed. Immediately Death bas
sounded tbe last stroke of the twelve,
a procession of the twelve apostles in
presence of onr Savior takes place.
Tbe thirteen automata are marvelous.
As each little wooden apostle passes
the figure of Christ the latter raises its
arm and blesses that one of tbe twelve.
Tbe third wbo passes is Peter, and as
be is doing so, a life-sized automation
cock flaps its wings twice, and then
raises a crow, wbicb is all bnljt per
fect imitation of tbat sent forth by tbe
living bird. :' Before tbe last ot tbe
apostles bas passed, tbe cock fl pi bis
wings and crows twice mod. A crowd
assemble within tbe cburctj each day
to see an, boar this performance,
which, indS'd, no one visitipg Stras
bourg should miss. H'Ao taw in

to draw Bap from bis character, as his

Washington, Dec. 17th. Attorney.
General Ackerman, in a lengthy decis
ion in regard to tbe Union Pacific Rail
road, says tbe Government may retain
the entire amount of compensation for
services rendered to it by the Com
pany, and apply tbe same to interest
paid by the United States, unless such
interest shall bave been repaid by the
Company, and in that event, oae-balf
tbe compensation for such services
may be reserved and applied to tbe
principal of the bonds.
New York, Dec. 19. A TribuneU
Washington special says that there are
strong reasons for believing that an
amicable settlement of the Alabama
claims question was soon to be offered.
It is believed that Schenck, soon after
bia arrival in England, will resume tbe
negotiations now suspended, which
will be carried on is a friendly spirit,
and it is believed tbat it will be met
with a corresponding spirit on the part
of England. The following is believed
to be tbe points npon wbicb negotia
tions will be made: The United States,
as a basis of settlement, wili require,
first, that England shall pay tbe own
ers for ships and property destroyed by
tbe Alabama, with interest on tbe val
ueof the earns from date of destruction.
Second, tbat England eaall reimburse
tbe United States Government for all
expencea incurred by the United States
in consqeuence of the Alabama and
otber cruisers. Third, tbat England
shall make public a recognition of true
principles of neutrality on tbe basis of
settlement There is good authority
fur stating tbat Schenck is expected to
demand LO'hing more than a prompt
and equitable demand; not an extot
tloiiate demand. He is not to threaten
non intercourse or forcible annexation
of Canada, nor is he to demand a con
fession from England that she acted
dishonorably towards the United States
a confession that no proud natiou
would make unless conquered and re
duced to extremities.
London, Dec. 16. Paris dates to tbe
13th say the sortie by General Ducrot
was satisfactory, and bas demonstrated
where tbe Germans are weak. Ducrot
ia confident of bis ability to get through
tbe German lines at the proper moment.
Tbe active army in the field is in good
health and spirits, and is well fed.
Preparations are being made for anoth
er sortie, but on a grander scale.
News front Paris up to the 13th is
that fresh meat, eggs and poultry are
goue, but the supply of horse meat will
last for two months longer; bread,
wine and cheese, four months; salt
meat and salt fish, two months. Trocbu
has taken possession of alt food and
wines, and the population is now sup
plied by the military Commissiarat,the
same as soldiers.
The reverses at Orleans have not dis
til roed tbe equanimity of Palladines.
His army did good service ia defeating
the force of tbe besiegers. Every Pa
risian ia armed, and tbe city can bold
out tbree months longer, without great
suffering. The mortality is larger, but
not enough to create alarm. There is
no epidemic and no deaths from star
vation or want. The outside works
bave been pushed forward, wbicb has
compelled an enlargement of tbe line
of investment, and consequently mide
the enemy weaker in the field. From
tbe works the marksmen command tbe
toads formerly out of range. Toe Ger
man positions have been enormously
strengthened, and they feel the scarcity
of men.
Versailles, Dec. 16. German ac
counts of recent sorties evade tho
truth. Ducrot was entirely successful,
as far as be went. He beld tbe penin
sula of St. Maur against the German
attempts to recover it. and returned
volantarily, after ascertaining the fail
ure of Palladines. Ducrot is confident
that he could bave gone through the
line if Palladines bad been successful.
The German leaders are uueasy on ac
count of their line being weakened, and
tear tbe success of a massed sortie. Tbe
demand tor the bombardment of Paris
is great. Tbre Councils of War have
been beld. Moltke fears tbe formation
of a large army iu the south, it being
further away, and there being more
difficulty in reaching it, he is unwil
ling to allow Fredrick Charles to rj
too far'froni Puris. Bismarck is press
ing energetically apolitical movement
to destroy the Republican Government.
Peace is absolutely necessary, and be
is ready to make a coalition with tbe
Emperor or any repreentative who is
willing and able to make terms.
Brussels, Dec. 17. The Provisional
French Government advertises that
payment of the January interest on tbe
national debt will be made.
Carlsrnbe, Dec. 10. The Baden
Chambers have ratified the Federal
Treaty looking to the annexation of
tbat State to the North German Cooled- I
eratiou. i
Versailles, Dec. 17. Delay in the j
Bombardment of Paris is caused partly
by a quarrel between Gens. Bluraeotal
and Von Roon. The latter wished to
use the army horses to bring up the
gunj, while the former insisted that
it was impossible to spare them. Von
Hoou finally yielded, and 4 000 horses
are now coming from Germany to draw
the siege guns from the railway ter
xinus. The conditioo of the roads is
fearful. Food is very scarce in tbe
German camps, and some troof s have
gone without meat for three dajs.
Berlin, Dec. 17. Russia, in reply to
the Prussian note in regard to Luxem
burg, says tbe King of Holland must
disprove the charges brought against
tbe Ducby, or give a guarantee that
its obligations of neutrality shall not
be violated again. If, however, the
charges alleged are proved, Prussia is
jnntified in annexing the territory.
Bordeaux, Dec. 17. The Prussians
did not attack Gen. Chaucey yester
day, as was expected. The forces
under Chaucey have received beavy
reinforcements. His understood now
that the four Generals commanding
the main divisions of tbe Army of tbe
Loire, viz : Chaucey, liourbaki, Jaaris
and Janrez Ibriey have concerted
plans for a simultaneous advancr, all
having been largely reinforced. Tbe
Germans are retreating all along tbe
valley of the Loire.
The French Government has dis
missed Gen Sol from Service. The
charge against him was tbat be hasti
ly abandoned Tours, leaving behind
giinn and otber material of war,
though uo enemy has appeared near
the city. The Government, in accor
dance with the law which condemns to
deatb generals wbo too hastily surren
der tbeir posts, has ordered by decree,
an inquiry into the capitulation of
Strast.urg and Metz. As regards Gen.
Ublrich, tbis proceeding is a mere
matter of form, but in Bazioe's cate,
the investigation will be a serious
affair.
The Prussians now appear to be con
centrating near Yoetot, to attack
Havre. The latter place bas 350 can
non and a strong garrison, and will be
defended to the last.
Dispatchei from Versailles annonnce
that Bismarck bas issued orders di
recting tbe destruction of the national
forests of France, in dirtricts surround
ing Versailles and Paris. Tbis order
is regarded as timely, as it enables
peasants to procure fuel, and assist
military observations.
The bombardment of Paris may be
gin at any moment, as Prnssian sup
plies of ammunition are fully racruited.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 18. The cor
respondent who sent to foreign papers
a summary of Grant's letter to the
Czar, concerning joint 'mediation, is
banished to Telontz. The letter was
considered private, and therefore its
publication is an offense and a person
al insult to the Czar.
