A Remarkable Discovery. On Thursday last Messrs. Tolman and Walkley discovered a singular phenomenon while engaged in running the line from Walkley 's to Foss place in the Jhu Day settlement. It was necessary that the comer marks made during the survey of 1STS should be found, which wore placed on small spruce trees the diameter of one being throe inches and of the other twelve inches, which giew close together. Mr. T'dman soon found two trees standing cle together contjsixmding in several trays bin not in size, meas uring respectively one and three foot in diameter, with an indentation in each several inches in length. Mr. Tohuati told the axiiiau to cut into the trees and see if any mark euld be found, which was done with surpris ing result.-.

Our books and newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in stj le from the production of ttie child at school, commencing with: Thj llor.-e has four legs aud a tail; up to the ehwjueut tribute of the scholar w hen he quotes froin.Jeb: That his neck ib clothed with thunder and the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
