Sir--I beg leave TO send you the following &C
count of very extraordinary phenomenon which
lately occurred in the waters OF lake Erie which you
are at liberty to use in any way you think proper

Port Talbot, jane 10th, 1925.
On or about the 30th May last, little otter sun
set. lake Erie was observed TO take Sudden and eX-
traordiuary RISE the weather being fine and clear,
ard the lake calm and smooth. 1t was principally
noticed at the mouths of Otter and Kettle creeks
which are 90 miles apart. At Otter creek u came
in without the least previous intimation in swell
of nine feet perpendicular height as was afterwards
ascsrained rushed violently up the channel drove
a schooner OF S. tons burden from her moor'ngs'
threw her upon high ground and rolled over inc
ordinary beach into the woods, completely inundat-
ing all the adjacent flats. This was followed oy
two others of equal height, which caused the creek
m retropade mile ard halt, and to overflow Its
hanks where water was never before seen by seven
or eight feet. The noise occasoned by Its rushing
with such rapi.lity along the winding channel, was
truly astonishing. 1t was witnessed oy>a numoe'
AZ Kettle creek several men we're drawing tish
nc, in the lake. wnen suddenly they saw the water
com;np ,upon them in the manner above mentioned
and, letting go their net, they ran for their lives

Vermon, Ohio, arrived here with full cargo OF
Aour pork, whiskey, sc. She entered ou' hsrhor
in Just seven days from her launching having gone
off the stocks all standing" VIII yards across,
sails bent, aud every thing ready for sea. She is
built OF the best materials in workmanke man
ner, and appears to possess like her namesake not
only good bottom, but I'LL the requisite qualifications
for speed.
The Season, says the Boston Centinel. has assn
med the best prospects throughout New England.
The crop OF hay viii, it is said, exceed an average
of the last seven Corn and potatoes have OF
late experienced q rapid growth and the small
grains look bright and thrifty In many parts The
apples are very abundant; in Others hey have been
injured by the caterpillsrs and rose bugs.
In New Jersey the season thus iaT IS said to have
been remarkably fine. rains have been frequent
and timely, the temperature OF the atmosphere
mostly moderate, and health generally prevalent
Our crops of wheat and rye have filled and rlpened
well. and promise to yield abundantly. Corn aud
oats look well. Flax is about average crop.
Grass a, least as good usual. On the whole 1t
lis plentiful year, and calls for thankful hearts,

SNicide.--T proporrionstc number of suicides
in Paris and London, has, Of late been subject OF
warm and angry discussion between some OF the
French and English writers,-Particulafly between
Drs. Esquiro and Burrows.
The estimates OF this latter gentleman for 1917
is believed be toerably accurate, and is as follows
Population. Suicides. Proportion.
Paris, 100000 800 0.42 IN 1000
London, 100000 200 0.90 in 1000
Suicide has, at times appeared to prevail epde-
mcally. In 1906, sixty suicides were committed
at Rouen., during the months Of June and july
which had been extremely hot and moist much
commercial distress had occurred al the same time.
In July and August of the same year, three hum
dred suicides were committed at Copenhagen the
sane cause likewise prevailing In 1898 thirteen
hundred suicides took place at Versailles --sHedicas
