An Island Afioat.

We learn from the Wayne Democratic
Press that, few days since, large object
was seen on Lake Ontario, in a north west
erly direction from Pultneyville, gently
floating to the eastward. 1t excited consid-
cradle curiosity, as it appeared unlike any,
thing ever seen on the Lake before. As all
had desire to know more about it, several
young men, in boats, started in pursuit, and
after q steady pull with oars, it was at last
overhauled some Ave miles from shore. It
was steadily vending its way down the
lake, impelled by the current at the rate OF
about three miles an hour, and when over
tken presented, to the astonishment o. the
beholders, q no less novel spectacle than an
island covered with luxuriant vegetation!-
1t was about FIVE rods in length, and nearly
of equal breadth; and had probably been
formed in some quiet nook OF O river or bay
upon some timber or brush that had become
stationary upon the surface of the water till
an admixture of earthly and vegetable mat
ter had accumulated sufficient to nourish
vegetation such as is peculiar to swampy 10
cations. These had grown and fallen through
a long succession Of years, until the whole
had become matted together by roots and
fbres so as to give the whole mass frmness
and tenacity sufficient to resist the waves,
and specific gravity that enabled it to
float. The late rains increasing the volume
of water where it formed elevated it from
its bed, broke it from its moorings, and sent
it off on a voyage of discovery. The whole
island was covered with such plants as are
seen about Irondequoit Bay, and present
Just such an appearance. II was sufficient
ly firm to bear up man-as DR.. Beardsley
stepped on shore, and took possession in be-
half of Uncle Sam. The island was not
wholly uninhabited, as several small birds
were seen. The highest points on the is
land were about five feet above the surface
Of the water, and the plants stand firm and
erect vigorous and healthful.

HoRsEs.-It is estimated that there are
SO, 600 horses in the State of Massachusetts,,
22l, 900 in the New England States, 4,5Oo,-
600 in the United States. Ohio stands fore
most in the number of horses, New York
next, Pennsylvania next, Kentucky next, and
Minnesota last of all. Estimating the horses
of Massachusetts, at SIS per head, their val
ne will be So, 200, and all the horses in
the United States at the same rate, would
make value of 1897, 500, 900, or more than
three times the whole cotton and wooden
manufacturing capital of the Union. The
horse interest is a most important one to the
wealth and prosperity of the States.
