the following statement:“We went over this morning. I doubted the story on starting, but thought I'd try it anyhow. We found the Warren's farm cbout seven miles from the Gap, and there, sure enough, was the cornfield completely petrified. The stalks were somewhat blown down, but they seemed completely turned to stone. The two hogs were there also, and they looked like they were carvedout of rock.' It was the strangest'tight Iever saw, and I lan’t begin to describe the thiDg. Tnere were a number of men guarding the field with Winchester rifles, and they wouldn't let us go into it. They ouly let us go to the fence. We could’ have touched some of the corn stalks and could see the hogs, but the men refused positively to let us go any further than the fence. The men wouldn’t 6ay why they would not let people go into the field, but 1 presume they were afraid people would break the corn stalks to pieces. Tiiere was quite a crowd there looking at the thing, uud every one was thorougnly dumfouuded with what they saw.” • ,This statement is vouched for by a number of otherSj and naturally there is considerable excitement. Every horse in thevalley has been engaged for the next sev-eral days by parties who itUeud* to visit theplace.
