Tlio- earth caved in to tho distance of ovor eighty feet, and thq sur- face, as indicated by trees nnd fences, moved » distance of over six hundred feet. So gradual was tlio movement tlmt It oc cupied about hnlf an hour, and tho sight 16 described by tlioso who witnessed |t ns sublime in tho extreme.
