FROM LAKE SUPERIoR-Mr julius Austrian,
merchant at Lapointe, arrived here ON Saturday,
from that place. He came by way of Fond du Lac,
Sandy Lake and Grow Wing-a distance of about
four hundred and sixty miles, and made the trip in
nineteen days. He travelled on snow shoes, with
dog train carrying provisions and baggage, and
reyagenrs for guides and camping the party Sleep
ing out in the open air. almOstevery night till they
reached Crow Wing, some one hundred and forty
miles from here. That's the way they make journeys
over the deep SHOWS of the far North. The degree
of cold these Northmen stand travel, and sleep
in, without freezing, seriously suffering is almost
incredible. During most of their journey, the snow
averaged depth of four feet. Mr.. A. brings but
little news. In the early part of December It was
very codat Lake Superior, the spirit failing at La
point to the night of the 22d to As deg below zero
On the same night the lake roze over from Laponte
to the main land on the north side, distance OF
three miles, so that it could be crossed next morn
ing. The lake rarely freezes over there SO early.
During the last year there has been a large in
crease of business on Lake Superior and last fall
more fish were taken than in any previous season.
The fishermen consist mostly of Chippewa Indians
and half breeds, and fish constitutes large portion
of their food. Mr.. A. put up 200 bbls in one month
for shipment. At Lapointe flour was selling, when
Mr.. A. left, at $40 to $13 per bb; at Fond du Lac
$ls and pork SO cents per pound California prices

Holmes yesterday arrested, at the fremont House,
young man who registered his name as Nelson Will
liams, Cayuga Co., N. Y-Soon after his arrival he
handed small package to the clerk, impressing upon
him the necessity of keeping it under the closest
lock and key. In the course of the day Williams
went to of the clerks and desired him to obtain
the package from the safe, in order that he might
get little money from it; but before he had done
this he concluded that if the clerk would lend him
So for an hour two he would not disturb the pack
age. This was done. Somet ne after, q little suspi
con having arisen, the parcel was opened and found
to contain nothing but waste paper. The stranger
desired the matter might be hushed up, and to this
end proposed If some one would go with him to his
friends in the city he would obtain The amount which
he pretended had been spent. But after q tramp
over half the city friends could be found Search
was made his person. when the IS was discovered.
In one of his pockets was also found ticket for
package deposited at the Astor House, where,
no doubt q similar fraud has been practised He
was committed to Jail, and will be examined this
morning. He is evidently one Of the dddlers though
not a very big figured one.-Bosto,, Bee, FEB. IL.

PRESENTATION OF SWISS BLOCK OF GRANITE

The ceremony Of the presentation of beautiful block
Of granite from the Swiss Alps north Of Lake Geneva
which took place on Tuesday, the 9th ultmo was in
high degree imposing and interesting Our Swiss fellow
citizens now il Washington assembled honor the
sion, and panied the block which was drawn on
truck horses escorted by the fine company Of Yager
with band Of music commanded by Capt. Schwarzman
to the City Hail. An appropriate address delivered
from the portco Of the wing of the City Hall by
Mr. LHUILHR in behalf Of the Swiss Confederation by

the part OF the Board whose members had assembled
receive IL and did SO with feelings Of deep interest.
These addresses are given below.
This the first testimonial Of respect and yeneraon
to the noble and exalted character of Washington which
had been received from foreign country and it was
cuarly gratifying to know that it was the voluntary
offering Of the only free Confederacy in Europe at the
shrine Of American patriotism and virtue Coming as it
does from the glorious country Of the patriot TELL the
ancient Helvetia and from the granite rocks Of the mag
nifcent Alps it may easily be imagined that it produced
when presented feeling Of enthusiasm which could
scarcely be suppressed Future generations will expe-
rence this enthusiasm when they contemplate these
beautiful memorials of respect and admiration from dis
tant lands to the mpershable memory of the ustrious
founder of American liberty.
After the interesting ceremonies Of presentation were
concluded, the block was conveyed to the Monument
grounds, escorted by the Swiss committee the Yagers
and members of the Board of Managers.
