LAKE SUPERIOR EXPBoRATIoSs.-Ihe De-
troit Exploring Company, which is com
posed almost entirely of Detrsit men, and
which was organized for the purpose OF ex-
ploring the North shore of Lake Superior
are making preparations to begin work I'M
mediately. Nj. J. W. johnson, oil Detroit
the agent of the Company, has started Tor
that region, taking with him quite a large
expedition of men and means for a scienti-
fc exploration of a large tract of land on
the north shore of Lake Superior. The ex-

ANOTHER CouSrERFErT.-A new counter
felt on the latest issue of fifty cent fraction
al currency, bearing the vignette OF General
Spinner. United States Treasurer, has made
its appearance. It is badly executed, the
ink pale, and the general appearance indif-
ferent.
TEr NEw YoRK CAxALs.-The Albany
| Argus says that with the exception OF a leak
in Latter's ~cuIvert, near Albion, the canals
are reported to be in good condition. The
b~usiness at all points is reported to be light.
| State Engineer Goodsell states that the sup
plv of water for the long level is scarcely
eouaf TO the demand. The streams are
much lower than usual to this spring. and
unless the country is favored with heavy
rains. it will be difficult TO keep up seven
feet depth of water on some portions OF the
line. The reservoirs are unusually low ior
this season Of the year.
PpoPErLER FREMoxr.-T The Sandusky
Reqister SAYS that athis propeller, OF the San
dusky and Buffalo line, arrived here day
before yesterday, and was to leave last
night for Buffalo. She is commanded by
CAPTAIN Flint, of Fremont, and IS most
complete in all her appointments On hef
recent trip she brought to this port some
forty German e~migrants."
MY OVERHEARD AND DRowEED.-The De-
troit Free Press says that George Trenta'
mate of the schooner Consuelo, was drowned
from hat vessel on Friday last, at about 10
o'clock A. NJ, some sixteen miles above the
Rondeau. Deceased and another l1an were
engaged in cleaning out the small boat
which hung at the davits, when the ior-
ward bolt gave way, p~recipating him he, al
long into the lake, where, aftera few strue
giles he sank to rise no more, Every effort
was made to rescue him. Just prior to get
ting into the boat, deceased inquired of the
man at the wheel if he intended writing
home on getting into port, to which an af-
frmative reply was given. He stated that
was also his intention, but it would be the
last his friends would hear from him, as he
was going elsewhere. He resided in YER
million, Ohio. and was about "a years of
age, and unmarried.
SAGINAW IrErs.-The Detroit Free Press
saws tho past winter has been extremely
favorable for Iumbermen, and the quality
of their logs is unsurpassed by the product
of any previous season; this is a fact which
is pretty generally understood, and upon
which many persons base their estimates.
But though not 30 extensively known, 1t is
nevertheless a fact that a large per cent. of
the logs will be kept back for the want OF
sufficient water to float them.

Chicago Journal reads as follows;
