rapids-say miles above the falls-about equally
distant from the American and Canada shores. At
one time it was thought that it would become re-

on the American side, and il is difficult pass from
either shore to the Island at certain of the
year-there is danger of their ever occupying it
There few deer upon it, and once or twice

two small duchies of Parma and Hodena, which
Austria considers annexed to her kingdom of Eom-
hardy. In this part offtaly, though directly under
