LAKE SUPERIOR COUNTRY.

Mr. Stuntz of Grant county, Wisconsin,, has
been deputed by the General Land Surveyors Of
this Northwest district to lay off such track
of land about the Southwest point ofthe Lake
into townships and sections, as emigration will
first require. He returned via. La Point and
Saltwater last week. We have obtained from
him some new views of that region. From
Fon-du-lac, a trading point, situated eleven
miles INLAND on the ST. Louis river, eastward,
for perhaps fifty miles, the margin of the lake
is fiat strip of land, reaching to rocky ridge
about eleven miles of. The soil OF this flat
land is rich red clay. The wood is white ce-
der and pine, and the most magnificent growth.
The American line is beyond the mouth of the
st. Louis, as far northeast as Pigeon River, one
hundred miles. A mountain extends all the
way between the st. Louis and Pigeon river
It evidently abounds in copper, iron and silver.
Terrestrial compass cannot be used there so
strong is the attraction to the earth. The nee
die rears and punges like mad" Points of
survey have to be fixed by solar compass.
The Indian and halfbreed pack-men have as.
tonishing strength. One Indian who is des-
cribed by the others as being as large as two
men, carried for company of l men provis-
ions for ten days viz : one barrel of flour, half
barrel of pork and something besides the uten-
sis. Mirage is common phenomenon in spring
and summer. For the bays not opening as
soon as the main lake, or not cooling so early,
an object out on the lake is viewed through q
dense medium and thin medium. Hence is
a refraction of rays which gives so many won
derful sights, that the Chipeways call that the
spirit or enchanted land. Sail. vessels which
are really thirty miles of, are seen tapping and
bellying about almost with touch. Turreted
Islands, look heavy and topling towards the ze-
NTH. Forests seems leaping from their stems
and soaring like thistes for the very sport Of
it.
The ice did not leave some of the bays until
the tenth Of June. The fish are delicious, es-
pecially the salmon trout But little land game
Mr. Stuntz calculated on wonderful enterprise
in that country after the opening of the Saul
Canal
Mr.. S. describes La Point, a town on the lake
as being situated at the head of Il bay some 25
miles from the high Lake, and secluded from
the lake by seveal Islands. He says there is a
warehouse 800 feet long built of tamarac poles
and rooted with bark. This building is very
much warped by the pressure of age-it is en-
tered by wooden railway. The town is din
gy and dreary He saw most excellent gar
den by the residence of DIR. Borup. 1t contain
ed a quantity Of fruit trees and shrubs, such as
plRms, cherries, apples, pears, currants, &c.

WORTH KNowING.-Some time since at the
request Of one of our most distinguished cti-
zens, we copied into our columns an article from
a Medical journal, highly recommending the use
of wheat flour as a remedy for burns. It's use
has been often tested Of late, and with success
full results in most cases. gentleman at
Dayton, Ohio, in note to the Dayton papers.
says:
"Whle at the supper table, little child.
which was seated in its mothers lap, suddenly
grasped hold of cup full of hot tea severely
scalding its left hand and arm | Immediately
brought pan of flour and plunged the arm into
it, covering entirely the parts scalded with the
flour. The effect was truly remarkable-the
pain was gone instantly. then bandaged the
arm loosely, applying plenty Of flour next to the
skin, and on the following morning there was
not the least sign that the arm had been scalded
neither did the child suffer the least pain after
the application of the flour"
Reader, do you bear this little fact in mind, if
a similar occasion offers.

A Busy STREET.-At one o'clock p. M. of
Monday oflast week, we counted standing in
the streets of this village, as near to the corner
of Main and Maumee streets as they could con-
veniently get one hundred and thirty three teams
the most of which brought loading of some des-
cription to market. About fifty very loaded
with wood and considerable portion of the
others with pork. This was one of those bad
days with rough going, when the farmers no
less than ourselves feel the benefit of plank
roads, and if we only had what we should have
another plank road to Canandagua or Morenci
and the Bean Creek road continued to Jackson
we should need few more additions to the vii
lage to make room for the teams that would
flood US. AS it is, on such n day as Monday
we speak of it makes Uncle Ira, and little Bill
Cook and the pelt-buyers handle their trotters
brskly to get around among all the teams in the
course Of the day, and relieve them of what they
bringin. Adrian Watchtower
