ulacturng facilities inferior TO none in the

Do ;hcy not see that short rail road from
Southport to Rock river would command the
trade of this great section OF country! The
termination of rail road, say at Belot or

three great communications by water. From
south west by Rock river, from North by
Rock river, from North west by Pecatonca

SINGULAR PHENOMENON ON LAKE ON.
TARIo.-On Salufd ~ last mnst eXtraor-
d;niry occurrence was noticed in TIE lake

gentlemen walking on the wharf, happening
to cast their eyes upon the water between
the piers, were struck W Ia very unusual
appearance ola strong current or tide, as il
were, sitting directly cut at sea. liseemed
as if the whole lake were going bod ~ IL
way. In few minn:eS nelrly Il third part
Of thc inner harbor, with a corresponding
portion Of the shore OF either SIDE. was left
entirely bare, when suddenly the tide turn
ed and came as rapidly back again, filing
the harbor a; least two feet higher than il
WAS before. THIS extraordinary acton OF
Tie lake was continued at regular Intervals
of every eight or ten minutes till af'er dark
the highest tide noticed being Little before
SIX in The evening,when the wafer rose sew
en- inches higher than il was lasi Spring,and
Just two feet and an inch above i.s present
level. We undeTs and the same occurrence
was noticed at other places on The lake ind
hear that al Port Hope the effect WAS so
great that the steam boat Princess Royal
coall not get in'o The harbor at all, running
hard aground when more than her length
outside the entrance TO the peirs. Tie
cause Of so extraordinary prenomenon is
al present a matter of various conjecture, bat
the general opinion seems 10 be that it could
only have been produced by violent earth
quake in some part of the continent, which
we shall probably soon hear of.-ICoburg
