Trench, writing to tho Lyndon Times to appeal to the charita hie ioraid fur some uufortunnto fnaii 1 ics> gives this account of the burstiug of an Irish bog. Hosavs;*' 'T have just returned from inspecting one of tho most pitiful scenes of the sort it has been my fate to witness since I saw the remains of the village of Visp, in-tlie Rhone Yallcy, Switzerland, after its destruction by flood some years ago. ?The scene to which I refer is the result of tho burst;og of r bo'j-, situated about three miles east of the town of Dunmore, in the northern part of Gal way county. Heretofore this hog was connected with the .Dunmore RWer, at Du'.itnoro, by a small stream called tho (Torrabel Hiver fit wing through aeon tinuation of pasture and lillag.! lan Is in its course. The le^cl of tho upper sur faee of the bog was formerly liGO fe^t above the sea, and that of the wator at Dunmore 1-90 feet, showing a fall of 70 feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bog presented the. tiMial-appearance, of tuost of our undrain-d Dish bog;?, i. c., its skirts, adjoining the arable land, consist iug of high turf bauks, boiug exceeding 4y wet and spongy. 'On the first of October tho farmer occupying a farm ou the Corrabafl strorun nonr the bog wne "digging his potatoes, when hosuldenly observed a brown mass slowly approaching him. fie left his spadeiu the ground, and wont for the neighbors; on bis? return the m is (which was the moving hog.) had half covered his potato field, anfl completely hidden Irotii stghrliU field <>f i-oi-i). with tlic cx ,.,.r.:.s ? te.vv .rt'rtbfc*' , nutated on a kiioMfthcy sttil remain an island in th middle of a score of desolation. This wtts but'the cojnhVencoiucnt, since then the bogdtas continued to advance, ia n rolling nntt;j. conliiiuiii^ its eonr~e ri^ht ?down the valley to Dtiuuiotv. uu^yih * i on its way fhre? farm hod*cs'. and o ?vor ing at least one hundred and eighty acres of pasture and arablo land to a .depth iu some places of six fee.t. The j unfortunate ocjnpiers of the three farms j have beeu turned, by this visitation of I'rovidenoa, faruiless aud homeless, with tl;cir fumilics, on the world. 'At Duumore a small bridge has been removed, near the junciioti ol* the Oor rabel stream vv.'tth the Dunmore River to afford relief to the lands up the val ley, and a bog-laden torrent, is boing dis charged into tho latter river. The worst inny be said- to bo over, but the discharging powers of that river will be niuterially affected by this influx of sol id matter. Thesouroe of this disaster ?'.??esenteTi a wonderful appearance. Tho subsidence tit the discharging point can not be less than about 35 feet. The extent of the bog affected is most dual ly defined by a series of bl ick 'ercv.is Kes,' where the upper crust of the bog has, by the subsidence below, been torn asunder. Tho whole assumes (lie form of a crator half a mile in diameter. 'With considerable difficulty wc pilot ed our way to the o.mtrc. whore w s fonn 1 the brown liquid hog boiling out like a stroam of lava aud feeding iItm moving mass in the valley below. At the point .where the bog burst, tho turf bauks Were forced r'ght ov. r and romf! on either side, and assumed somewhat the appoarauco of'uioraines.' 'This and similar disasters to which this country is liable must bo attributed to the abse nce of a complete and good system of arterial drainage*. A similar catastrophe occurred two yoara ago, oo cusioncd by tlio backwater of the River Suckj npar C-asthrea.' An llcroU'ritt?iiitto.. Andrew Hill, the flagman at. the Rroud street crossing of the Morris and Kssozi Railroad, will over be grutolully remembered by a young 1 tidy whe was rescued by hitu froiu iinniiucnt death.

With this i-bjee, he went ?from department to department, bur always w ithout success. Finally he determined to go directly to the president himself, und to appeal to him to iutevvcue iu boh j.If of the dis charged soldier. LSI r. Lincoln, it would seem, had heard of the case before the Treasury clerk secured the audience with him which he sought. When the interview had terminated, the disappoiu ted clerk rushed back to our depart ment and into my office, and commenced in the most*indiscreet and iutcmpurato manner to express his disgust with the 1'restdeut. 1 drew from him tho story of what had occurred between the President aud himself, and it was some thing like this: Mr. Lincoln received him kindly and listened to his request. 'Why don't you go dir-clTy to the Secretaries?' asked Mr Lincoln. 'I have been to them all,' was the answer. 'Hasn't your brother sufficiently re covered his boa 1th to enable htm to rq turn to the army':' imtuired the Presi dent.

They make a-h^op of wild vines, and putting their feet inside they lisc it as a support in .climbing The negro of the west coast of Africa makes a larger hoop round the tree, and gets inside of it, and jerks it up tho trunk with his hands, a little at a time, draw ing his legs up alter it. The Tahitiuu boys tie their feet together, faur or five inches apart, with a piece of palm bark aud with the aid of this fetters go up tho cocoa plains to gtaher nuts, The native women in Australia climb the guai trees after opossums; where the bark is rough they chop holes with a hatchet then one throws about the tree a rope twice tip long as will ?o round it, puts her hatchet on bur cropped bead, and. placing her feet agaiust the tree and grasping the rope with her hands, she hitches it up by jerks, pulls herself up tho enormous trunk, ulln?st as fast as a man c n climb a ladder How Pal Hot Kreil, A gooil looking Irishman stopping nt a hotel to warm himself, inquired of the landlord ? ?
