"TiDEs OF THE LAKEs.--.An opinion has
long prevailed among many who reside upon
the shores Of Lake Erie, that the Aux and re-
fux of the water, which is continually going
on in the Lake, bears resemblance to, and
is produced by the same causes as the regular
tides of the ocean. In fact, the term Tide
Is generally applied to those elevations of the
water which are noticed frequently at all pla-
ces--but most commonly at the extreme ends
ofthc Lake, and either from the familiar use
Of the same term, or from the want OF judicl-
GUS and skilful investigation of the subject, q
settled beliefh has arisen among many. that the
word is intended to convey the same meaning
as when applied to the ocean. A residence
of several years upon the waters of Lake Erie
has convinced us, that if lunar Tides do actu
ally occur, they are 80 slight as not to be per-
ceptible without the closest scrutiny, and that
those variations in the depth of the water
which are daily and sometimes hourly noticed
are nothingmore than vibrations produced by
the action of the wind upon the surface of the
water, piling it up at one point, while it de-
presses it ut another, and then producing
partially regular progression and rctrogrcsslon
until it reaches it's equilibrium. These tides"
owing to the variety ofcurrents Of air, which
sometimes prevail upon the Luke, ut one and
the same time, assume an appearance SO diff
feront from what is expected by an observer
standing at any particular point, and direct
ing his attention only to the course of the wind
in his immediate vicinity, as almost to induce
the belief that the water was affected DYSON
other agency than merely the wind, but care
ful consideration of the immense surface pre-
scented by it's action by so large Lake, and
high specific gravity of the fresh water, will
convince any enquirer, that the changes Of
the wind are sufficient to produce all the phe-
nomena of Lake Tides A reason which we
have heard urged by many for the belief, that
the tides Of the Lake are influenced by the
moon, is, that, frequently for number of days
in succession there isl regular return of the
water at certain hour, This instead Of
proving their belief to be correct, is direct
refutation oft, for the tides of the ocean, on
the contrary rise about one hour later every
succeeding day, whereas the tides ofthe Lake
being made by succession Of land and sea
breezes, have their regular returns at par
ticular hour. ss;4rf 3fj .js SsH ~
There are, however, many phenomena con-
nected with the periodical rise and fall of the
great Lakes, which are'well worthy Of the at
tcntion of the natural philosopher, and we
heartily wish, that some one would take the
matter in hand. s f " eaa

We acknowledge the receipt of $500, in
full Of all demands against Doct. Jas. Colby,
Of Defiance. Our agent assures us, that the
money was paid in at the time the order was
given to stop the paper, and that he neglected
to advise us of it. In relation to the remarks
which We made upon the occasion, we can
assure the Doctor, that the mere atoppage Of
our paper, even when not accompanied with
payment, would never have called them forth,
but when he saw fit to stoop from his dignity
to inhict an insult, he could not otherwise than
expect retaliation. AS conductors Of o pub
lie journal, we will never perpetratc on un-
provoked insult, and as men partaking Of the
common lot ofhuman frailty, we cannot screw
our forboarance to the pitch Of receiving one
unayengod.
