CUR1ous.--A very singular phehome-
non transpired at Milwaukee, last Thurs
day. A tide wave rushed into the river
u2setting a steam ferry boat, and doing
other damage. An equally rapid fall OF
water succeeded the qsuleu RTE! The
phenomena was more marked on the beach
of the Lake. At one pier the water before
the fall was within three feet OF the floor
Of ware house. when itretIred rapidly,
leaving dry ground underthe building -
In about twehty minutes the water ished
back in two great tidal waves. rising so
high as to force up the flooring oi the ware
house. and to flow into cellars in the lower
part OF town. The difference between the
highest and l,west points. within three
quarters Of an hour. was fully six feet -
The occurrence creates great woudermsni
