Strange Occurrence.

On Monday last, a portion of earth near the residence of John Johnson, in Plainfield township, sunk to the depth of about eighty feet, carrying with it several trees and stumps. The open space, says our informant, is funnel shaped, and about seventy feet across at the top. Some of the trees lodged about half way down, while others went to the bottom, leaving the limbs and branches within reach of the mouth of the opening. Two or three stumps, and a log about fourteen feet in length, thrown in afterward, passed out of sight. There is said to be continually coming up from that deep, and seemingly bottomless, hole, a distant roaring sound, as of rushing waters.
