A REEF OF FLrEs.-As the steamboat
Ward, Capt. Eastbrook, was passing over
from point Neweenah to Marquette, on her
trip down she came in contact with a reef,
not of sand, nor of rock, but of Juue flies,
hat caused some excitement as well as
merriment. There was a heavy fog on the
lake, and the boat was running slowly, and
the captain was on the lookout for the
rocky coast of Marquette. On a sudden
the engine stopped, andt cry Of "areef''
was heard over the boat, and every one
rushed out on deck. We went on board,
and at the cry we lookek out of our state
room window and saw that our boat was
running not fifty feet from what any one
would have sworn was a reef of rock and
sand, but which, on close examination,
turned out 10 be q reefof flies, many rods
in length and several feet in width.-Lakc

1T STILL LrvEs.-The devotion of the
mass Of the Trench people to the memory
of their great Captain seems to be as fer
vent as ever. The shortcomings of the
degenerate nephew have not dimmed the
recollection Of the mighty achievements Of
NApoLEos the Great, or diminished the in
terest which attaches 10 every thing and
everybody connected with him. The
Paris correspondent of the New York Tri-
Dune writes as follows:
The two American Bonapartes have
been well received by their Imperial rela-
tives, and attracted a great deal of atten-
ton. The remarkable likeness of the faith
er to the first Emperor-more striking, il
is thought, than that Of any other member
ofthe family--has created a vast amount
of curiosity in the French capital to see
him. The consequence is, that every day
