UNDERGRoUND LAKES IN MICHIeAN-Scat-
tered throughout the peninsular State are
large numbers of beautiful, clear lakes, from a
tiny pond to those of miles in circumference.
Sometimes those lakes are found under a crust
of earth from six to ten feet in thickness, the
surface bearing the appearance of marsh or
meadow. In building the Central Road in
crossing with an embankment for the track, n
place of this kind, near Niles, considerable
difficulty was found in making the road bed
substantial. Recently, in constructing a wa
gon road near Battle Greek, another one was
found. The weight of the material used for
the track crushed through the crust which
covered the lake, and entirely disappeared, so
that not a vestige of it can be seen. The lake
is about thirty rods across.

the quiet OF families in the neighborhood in

become insolent and abusive. The suburbs are
too thickly settled now to depend upon the OK
ertions of single constable to put down these
annoyances, and the suburbans must, therefore,
volunteer their own services, or submit to the
disturbances of which they now complain.

MOUTH or THE MIssfssIPPI.-Mr r. Mon
tagne, ClyIl Engineer, of New Orleans, has
presented plan for avoiding, at q compara-
uFely light cost, all the difficulties to nayiga-
Ioh ~ the mouth of the Mississippi river.
Inc Plcayune thus sketches the prospect:
10 secure constant depth of from twenty
TO twenty-five feet, without labor or large ex.
pense To maintain it. has been the study Of the
author OF The paper submitted to u.s. This, he
thinks, he has secured. His plan is to construct
q canal connecting the river with the ocean at
point on the coast above the bars, accessible
at all times to vessels of greatest draughtn -
Inc point chosen for this canal is "about three
miles below Fort st. Phillip, O short distance
ABOVE the salt works." and its length would be
aoout SIX miles. The Island LIE Breton shsrt
distance OIL the coast forms for the mouth of the
canal an excellent breakwater; and secures the
vessels which lie near in the ocean against dan
ger from storms. The bottom of the sea being
a hard clay, forms the best of all anchorapes
Inc depth at distance of two Thousand feet
from the mouth of the proposed canal. is never
less than twenty feet
Inc canal proposed by Mr.. Montague is to
nave depth of 81 feet, a bottom breadth Of 36
ieet, and n surface breadth of IOI feet 1t il
to connect with the Mississippi by means of
TWO docks, istant from each other the space
OF 400 feet, enabling the alluvion which will
be deposited between them to be washed back
into the river by the tides. A breakwater Is
proposed to be thrown out at an acute angle
with the shore, to increase the depth of the
sea at that mouth OF the canal The cost of
the construction of these works is estimated
at 81 f2U, 900.
