From Lake superSsr.

Dates to the first Of December have
been received from Copperdom. At
Ontonagon the river closed with ice, and
the snow two feet deep. The account
from the mines favorable, though the
miners are somewhat disheartened by
the failure to get their copper shipped
last fall. Over 1000 tons remain be.
hind, a heavy item at the present high
prices of copper. The Ontonagon riv-
er was low last fall, which made it diff
cult to ship from the mines to the Lake.
The plank road now constructing from
OntoDagon to the mines will obviate the
difficulty hereafter.
A letter from Portage Lake states that
a shaft sunk on the most southerly an
cient pit to the depth of 72 feet, in the
rock the vein has been not less than FIVE
feet wide, and has carried copper the
entire depth. One mass taken out esti~
mated to weigh over 1900 pounds
Some Is tons Of copper have been ta-
ken out, and the prongs Of another mass
are in sight beneath where the last one
was taken out. c5iv

Among the list OF late English
patents is one taken out by Mr.. E.
Whele for a candle lamp OF very
novel character. The lamp has a
dial or clock lace, and, as the candle
burns, the hands mark the hours and
minutes correctly, and a hammer
strikes the time. AS chamber light
for sick room, il marks the time,
and can be set to strike at any given
periods, when the patient requires
attention. As night light. il marks
the time on q transparent dial, and
rings an alarum at any stated period,
and in ten minutes aiterward extin-
guishes the candle, or will continue
TO strike every second until the party
gets out OF bed and stops il; and. il
a very heavy sleeper requires to be
reused, il will fire off a percussion
cap. As table lamp, it marks the
time and strikes the hours, and has a
regulator and index, by which may
be ascertained the amount of light
and economy OF consumption Of the
various candles OF different makers.
And all this is effected with very
little machinery, which is Of the
most simple kind.

NIAGARA FALLS AND LAKE ERIE.

NIAGARA FALLS AND LAKE ERIE.
Prof. Silliman, the eminent geo.
logist, discredits the opinion adj
vanced by some, that the gradual
wearing away Of the rocks Of Nj
agara Falls, may possibly result in
draining Lake Erie. In a recent
lecture, he remarked:
They will not halt at their present
station, but retreat slowly and surely
about two miles further, where they
will stop again for an unknown
period, and probably forever, since
at this place the hard limestone will
form both base and top Of the falls,
and thus stop the rapid destruction
of the rock. Some have thought
that they would finally reach Lake
Erie and that then the Lake would be
completely drained. Such an event
is impossible. At the point already
mentioned, the torrent will gradual
ly wear away the surface oil the
limestone, forming a rapid, and
henceforih Niagara will! be one OF
the lost wonders Of the world.

GOLDEN HALF DOLLARS. Refer
ring to the various plans for alle-
waiting the great want of small
change, the New York Sun is Of
opinion that halEdoIlar gold pieces
may be made, so varied in shape as
to remove all danger Of confounding
them with the dollar pieces, and
sufficiently large in circumference to
be in no more danger Of loss in
handling than are the gold dollars.
With these half-dollar pieces, and

Of the three cent pieces, as at pres
ent, there would be little or no i'm
