A BOTTOMLESS PIT.
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.

A plague of locusts has at'acked Alge-

known in our own country. The winged
pests are said to be advancing ina com-
pact mass twelve miles broad through
the province of Constantine, taking
every green thing as they go. Our
Western settlers know what such a visi:
tation means. They have had it and are
threatened with it again, thoagh with
the settlement of the country and the
abolition of waste tracts the grasshop per
