Railroaas in the West.

The railroad fever it spite of stringen-
cies in the money market, appears to in.
crease rather than sbate in the West The
vast results of opening the iron lines of
COMMUNICATIONS illustrated in the un-
exampled growlh'iof Chicago and other
cities in the lake region-seem to have
excited spirit among some of the rising
towns that will not rest until the Great
West is fairly gridironed with railroads
like Massachusetts. The papers from
that section Of the country devote par,icu-
lar attention to railroad matters, and are
almost daily filed with new projects ac-
counts oflhe business done on railroads al
ready constructed and of the opening of
new lines. They appreciate the flct that
their inland cities cannot hope to prosper
and appear in the front rank among those
which are the pride of the country without
The opening Of those highways, upon
which trade finds its swirlest and most
convenient means Of transit, To their
effort is mainly due the emu,
lative spirit which is manifested among
the towns Of that region and ihus they
exercise vas! influence upon the pros
periiy Of the land.-Phh Amer.

makes startling discoveries, writes to the
Commercial advertiser, that in his eXami-
nation of the rocks underlying the lime
stone bed of Niagra, below the Falls, he
found a strata Of red and green shale under
lying the entire limestone cliffs and eX
tending 10 and under the "Horse Shoe
Fall" This strata also extends across
the river and under Goat Island, and
many miles in every direction, it is the
same strata in which the salt wells Of ST.,
Catharine's were sunk, and the same
as forms the cliff of the Niagra, at and
above and below the Queenston and Lew
islon. Il is fractured aud shattered Stra-
ia, contains water as dense and as salt as
the Sea Of SOdom, and abundance Of min
eral waters and elastic gases Of grea, force.
This srata is the foundation of the great
limestone walls which form the great cat
aract Of Niagra-a lrail structure it is, and
it is, in this strata that the Niagra has the
whole Of its bed below the Falls, and
being soft, the water which falls over the
Horse Shoe and over Ihe American, North
Of Goat Island, has had no difficulty in
sinking chasms of vast depth, into which
the broken rock of tie limestone walls
which compose the cataract falls.
This strata he traced by the boring for
salina waters at st. Ca,harine, Mon zama
Sodus and other points; and finds that the
same extends over large tract Of country,
watered by the great lakes which seem tc
have a subterranean communication with
the volcanoes OF Hecla, in Iceland, and
those of the Southern part of the cont
nent as the disturbance caused by the
earthquake at Lisbon in IT'S, was fel
here, and caused the agitation of thei
waters. The northern shore Of Lake On
tario, he says; was an ancient sases
which has at three different times since
'41;sbeen excessively convulsed, attended
by terrific storms, and in 1850 by wat
0rspout that moved over Lake Scugog
,hreatnihg-to drainit of its waters, bu
was just then riven by thunder bolt, an
passed away in different directions
one section To the east, via the Hudson
river, and the otheralongthe ST. Lawrence
resting inthe sea.
He says that an immense volume Of ga
arises from the chasm into WHICH Niagr
plunges from the lofty precipices wIic
form the Horse Shoe on the America
fall. and might, with proper apparatus, b
ignited-and when on fire would great
exceed in beauty the flames of the gas a.
nding from the deep ravincs of the sa
ines of Kanhawha, which give colum
Of fame Of seventy feet in height.
His conclusion from all his observations
is. that the great Falls donor date beyon
the universal deluge.
