MYSTERY OF AMERICAN LAKEs.-Lake
Erie is only 60 or 70 feet deep, but
the bottom Of Lake Ontario, which is
592 feet, is $50 feet below the tido
level Of the ocean, or as low as most
parts Of the Gulf of St Lawrence and
the bottoms of Lake Huron, Michigan,
and Superior, although their surface
is so much higher, are all, from their
vast depth on level with the bot
tom of Lake Ontario. Now, as the
discharge through the river Detroit,
after allowing for the full probable
portion carried off by evaporation,
does not appear by any means equal
to the quantity of water which the
three upper great lakes receive, it has
been conjectured that subterranean
river may run from Lake Superior and
Huron and to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is by no means improbable,
and accounts for the singular fact that
salmon and herring are caught in all
the lakes communicating with the St,
Lawrence, but in no others. As the
Falls of Niagara must have always
existed, it would puzzle the natural
lists to say how these fish get into tho
upper lakes without such subterrane-
an river; moreover, any periodical
obstruction Of the river would furnish
not improbable solution of the flux
and influx of the lakes.

Betsy BAKERS BoNNEr-Thc col
lection in the rooms Of the Rhode
Island Society for the encouragement
of domestic industry has received an
interesting addition-a bonnet braid
ed by Mrs Betsy Baker, in exact imi-
tation, braid, shape, and trimming of
the first straw bonnet ever braided in
this country. Sixty-one years ago,
when this venerable lady was bloom
ing maiden she determined to have a
straw bonnet. Not knowing any 9TH
Ell way to get one than to braid it
herself, Miss Betsy Metcalf, that was
her maiden name, saw an imported
Dunstable bonnet in Col. Whipple's
store, and being a true Yankee girl,
she set herself to work to initiate it.
With no instruction, without the op-
portunity to unbraid a specimen of the
work to see how it was done, she per-
severed till she made a bonnet that
was the envy Of the other girls.
Thence sprung Il business that employs
5000 people and turns out 5000, 900
bonnets and hats annually in the sin
gle State of Massachusetts.

THE LARGEST HARVEST ON REcoRD.-The Phil

has the following:
Now. that the world is apparently about to take

from the goddess of peace the largest harvest on

been greater breadth of wheat laid ont, and nearly
all seems turning out unusually WELL In all the old

From New York to Arkansas and North Alabama

the farmer and this State certainly has experienced
such return for the labor of the husbandman as II
hardly has received since 1850.

wealth and probity, who can give any security for

on the road to do work to any amount at reasonable

here, for parties acquainted with the subject have
told me better Ten thousand laborers can be got at
any time, provided the proper persons are trusted
with the work and are allowed to regulate their own
laborers. A very wealthy man from the State Of
Chiapas is willing to contract to put upon the road
any number Of laborers, provided the company will
give contract aud allow him TO work away from
white men, Indians do not continue steady, honest
and Industrious long after they brought into con-
tact with dssolute white persons, and therefore the
contractor asks to have his workmen exempted from
such influences. Good animals be had cheap, too,
