The Well Caved In After Twelve Years A peculiar phneoHieaon occurred nn the farm of Mr. Charles Irwin adjoinnig this villace, recently, that has causied conaiderable cummt nt. A well close to the house that had showu si^ns of Ciiving in was filled up over 12 ye>iis af^o and the pump cut oflf even wifh the ground. Since that time WH;^ons have been con- tinually crossing the spot, ax it was on tl\e yard fronting the houi:e where teams pass when entering the premises. About a month ago (it is said during a thunder- storm) thia tilled well .suddenly caved in and no bottom could be seen, although the pump stem still rotained its upright position. Mr. Irwin himself had a narrow escape from falling into this pit, not knowing it was there, while passiag some time after the occurrence. Had it been dark he probably would not have escaped it. Saturday morninc last a chalk line was procured, a stone attached to it and dropped down the hole. The stone was caught in lome manner at the bottom and the line broke. This was repeated several times and the lino broke ♦*oh time without bringing up the stone. The Work of tilling up the well was 'tihen proceeded with and fourteen large loads of stone were dumped therein b«f«re the hole was levelled up. There must be a peculiar geological formation at that point, and there aie seversl puzzling things in connection with it. Why, if there was an under- ground vacuum, did the tiiiiog reniam in- tact a dozen yews and u>i>re and then drop instantaneously out of sight? \\hen il did diop, what 'Caused the pump stem Co i^uiaiii upmgUc while the tilling fell / Wkat caughl'ttwt stone at the end of th« line taul , prevented it. from being diaiwn up again, the line breaking every liuie it wss tried !
