The Ene railway company, which is | at present laying a double track Jefferson branch and Sasquehanna, has met with a on between very formidable obstacle at a place called Are arat Summit, | sinking ever since. The sime phenom. | enon was observed in 1875, when road was first built. One day in | middle of the summer of that year railroad for nearly a quarter of a disappeared entirely from sight, and an immense marsh, apparently bottomless, appeared in its place. An effort was made to find out how deep it was, but the largest timbers that were thrust down into it found no obstruction, The company dumped into the pit 10,000 car loads of rock and gravel and 300 im- mease hemlock trees, branches and all, i but every bit of it dis«ppeared It took four timbers, each about forty feet in length, to reach a solid foundation. It in said that many vears ago an immense lake covered this place. One day sever. al white people chanced to pasa that way and they were amazed to find that the lake had disappeared entirely, The company worked five months in 1872 before they could get a solid foundation for the road, and it was considered one of the most stupendous tasks of the kind in the history of railroad huildiog. They are working night and day at present trying to fill this place up, but are meot- ing with very poor success, as it nearly all disappears in the night. HALL. PA. HASTINGS’ SPEECH.
