STARTLING PHENOMENON.
A Large Portion of a County in Florida

The Palatka (Pla.) "Herald" has a let
ter from Orange county, containing a
thirilliug narrative of the sinking of a
good portion of Orauge county aud the
formation of a lake where it once stood.
The account is as follows : "
Mr. Alex. K. Foster has just come in
with marvelous and starting reports. Ho
says that on his way from Orlando to Mil
lionville, after crossing Fort Metlin
branch, he left the road to avoid the con
stant boggiog to which he was subjected.
The safest place he thought would be on
the crown of a high black jack ridge.
running parallel with the road, which he
accordingly took. After riding perhaps
a mile his horse commenced bogirinjr, and
for some .distance it was questionable
whether he could get through. He, how
ever, reached more solid footing ; again
he commenced boggiog, and this time he
noticed remarkable and portentous sounds
in his rear. The bogging grew worso as
he progressed, until he had to dismount;
there seemed no escape lor him, both he
and his horse were still bogging. The
sounds in his rear increased more andiShrevy dear as to step on the turn table.

Tne Vagabond Sage.
An old m3n of very active physiognomy
answering to the name of Jacob Wilmot,
was brought to the police court. His
clothes looked as though they might have
been bought second hand in his youth ful
prime for they had suffered more from
the rubs of the world than the proprietor
himself.
"What business ?"
"None ; I'm a traveler."
"A vagabond, perhaps ?"
"You are not far wrong. Travelers and
vagabonds are about the same thing.
The difference is that the latter travel!
without money, and the former without
brains."
"Where have you traveled ?"
"All over the continent."
"For what purpose?"
"Observation."
"What have you observed ?"
"A little to commend, much

"A handsome woman who will stay at

"A man that marries a girl for her fine
clothing ; a youth who studies medicine
while he has the use of his hands; aud
people who will elect a drunkard to of

Cows Holding up Their Milk. J.
A. Wilson writes the Agriculturist that
he has found the best remedy for this
fault' is to "take log chain, double it,
then lay it gently over the cow's back
on the 'small of the back' so that the
ends of the chain will clear the floor.
The cow loses the power of holding up

"Can you give me the time, Mr.

"The time, you impudent rascal !" ex

"What business have you to ask questions"

"I beg your pardon, sir said Jimmy,

astonishment of all present, who had ex
