Rising of Lake Ontario.
The BrOcEport Republic refers to the sudden
rise in the waters of Lake Ontario on Saturday,
. July 9, as follows:-"P Persons residing at and
near lroutburg, on the shore of Lake Ontario,
report singular rise and fall of the water. About
five o'clock when the lake was comparatively
calm, the water rose in body about two feet and
receded again to its ordinary level The rise
and fall did not occupy more than one or two
minutes. At frequent intervals till dark there
were similar risngs and iallings of from twelve
to fifteen inches. The people judged it to be
the effects of an earthquake, though no
shocks we're felt Mr.. Welsher of Webster, n.
y, that a similar rise of about five feet was
experienced sixteen years ago. MIR. Welcher
was III small boat on the lake NJ tne time, ana
the water was violently disturbed, and there was
great danger of being upset. Many boats which
had been drawn upon the beach were suddenly
carried out. Mr.. Wclcher estimates the rise
week ago at between four aud five feet The
sandbar between the bay and lake was COM
pletely flooded, and the waters and fell in
succession for some time at intervals of ten to
fifteen minutes. Boatmen and fishing parties
in some cases considerably frightened.
These phenomena on Lake Ontario are certainly
peculiar and their cause deserves investigation.
The sultan and the Suez Canal.
letter from Constantinople, in the Northeast
Correspondence says:-
The Sultan has decided that he Will preside
at the opening of the Suez Canal and we may
be certain that his Majesty will neglect nothing
to reveal himself to the Egyptians in all the
\ splendor of his omnipotence. The Minister OF
Finance has already received an order to place
12,OOO,O00 of francs at the disposal of the
Treasurer of the Priyy Purse. / can hardly
venture to say that this will be devoted to
the expenses of the journey, for it will very
possibly only suffice to meet the costs of prepa-
ration for an excursion destined to assume the
character of political event. The Niceroy has
sent letter OF excuse to his suzeraln, on the
subject of the suspicious generated by his tour
among the European Courts. This step has
caused more satisfaction in high quarters than Is
generally admitted; for, in reality, the Govern
ment at ConstantinOple was not very anxious to
be forced into the adoption of extreme resolu-
tions. despatch of the Grand Vizier, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, addressed to diplomatic
fishing the rights of the Porte over Egypt and
also OF pointing out the serious inconsistencies
of the prince charged with the administ 'tlon OF
that province, was doubtless the motive of the
communication in which the Egyptian ruler
protested his loyalty and devotedness toward
the Commander of the Faithful.
An OId-fnshiOned Fight.
From the Raleigh (M. c. Sentinel July 10.
Since the battle of Davie street and two rem
contres with Coleman, late Attorney-General
and now Consul to Stettin, Joe has not had a
! single mill or bout, though he has been spelling
for fight. In the late excursion to Norfolk he
| cursed Cebe Harris, and quarreled aloud with
three gentlemen who wanted peace.
On yesterday he entered the store of a mer-
chant in this city and abused him soundly using
4 such "cuss' language his father, the Cover
nor, used to Chief Justice Pearson.
The merchant so patient and forbearing
under the cursing that Joe mistook forbearance
for timidity. The more the merchant would
avoid the difficulty the greater Joes zeal for the
fray. Finally, Joe challenged him to a back
yard for fight; the challenge was no sooner
given than accepted. The parties walked tC
fuckers back yard Eyeing each other for
moment only, Joe asked, "Are you armed, sir 2
'Only with the weapons God and nature gave,
was the reply.
At it they went Joe's fighting did not come
up to his talking; his blows were not well aimed
or forcibly delivered In fact, he relied more
upon his nails than his fist. He attempted tC
scratch, while his adversary was delivering
heavy blows At the fifth blow given by hi
adversary Joe fell. The merchant did not un
derstand the rules Of the ring When Joe wa
down, he did not stop, but continued his heav,
blows until Joe cried, stop, enough" No
did he then stop until Joe had three times callet
for quarter. 1t was a fair old-time old-felC
fight, on Joe's time, terms, with his own wea
pOns, and on his own ground Joe's fighting
weight is 1S5, that of the merchant 175.
Joe is well whipped and severely bruised; hi
adversary has one small scratch on his face
Joe was taken TO Prare's groggery where Farris
the keeper of the Capitol and other friends ad
ministered to his wants. DR.. Haywood was sen
for, and Jim Harris flew to the Governor Dl
Haywood did not Gomez the Governor did. Tn
Governor made no speech, as he did after tn
"a Davie street fight. We are not advised rs t
whether the Governor approved of this fgh
We suppose he did not for the fight was 70
fair for his approval. 1t is the foul thing this
wins the Governor. In public speech he az
proved of the Davie street fight on his son, b.
