Mr. Marshall also has a dug well ; it is twenty feet deep. It seems 

 to be in clay soil except near the bottom, where sand occurs. A stick was 

 found in this sand. 



Some twenty-five rods east of Mr. Marshall's drilled well is the ford 

 on the road across McCormicks Creek, where rock outcrops at 700 feet. 

 Bed-rock was struck at least twenty-two feet lower than this in the Mar- 

 shall well. Farther up McCormicks Creek, about three-quarters of a 

 mile, bed-rock is to be seen in the creek bed, and just above, two remark- 

 ably large springs pour forth clear, cool limestone water, indicating that 

 bed-rock is near the surface.
