Immediately placed by him in the hands of the persons
to whom such matters entrusted. OF late great
number of complaints have been made against these junk

and his clerks. We learn that within the last three
months junk shop licenses have been revoked than
during the period Of the three years preceding The
Mayor has consequently devoted considerable attention
to this subject and is exceedingly stringent in regard

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SOUND NIAGARA RIVER.
The gentleman who has been trying the experiment OF
sounding the river below Niagara Fails writes fol
lows:-Another attempt made with similar iron
of about forty pounds weight attached to No. IL wire
all freely suspended, not to impede the fall of
the weight then let the weight fall from the Bridge
height OF 225 Feet II struck the surface fairly, with
the point down-must have sunk to some depth, but
was not longer out of sight than about second,
when IT made its appearance again the surface about
100 feet down stream and skipped along like chip,
until Il was checked by the wire We then commenced
hauling in slowly, which mAee the iron bounce like
ball when cake of ice struck IL and ended the sport
am satisfied that no metal has sufficient SPECIFIC gra-
acquired by fall OF 225 feet The velocity Of the iron
when striking must have been equal to 124 feet per
lbs Its surface opposed to the current about so
superficial inches This will give idea of the strength
OF that current and ut the time hint at the Titan
forces that have been at work to scoop out the bed Of
the Niagara river.
