A friend of ours has two boys, aged respec-
lively six and eight years, The youngest was
partaking pretty largely of the good things

their return from Sabbath school. The elder,
after eyeng his brother for some time, said:-
"Charlie, if you were TO eat much more, and
1t thopld Kill you, you would weigh so much

RIVER SoUSpINGs BY TEL EGRAPH. Major
Hoffman, of the United States Engineer
Corps, has for many years been laboring to
perfect an apparatus for the purpose of
making soundings and recording the same
by telegraph. The intricacy of such an in
yention can be better imagined than de
scrlbed. 4 short time ago gentleman cot-
nected with the improvements Of the Gov
eminent on the Rapids, called our attention
to this novel and scientific invention, and
volunteered to accompany us on visit Of
inspection, as soon as it should be ready for
An experiment. Want Of time prevented
our taking advantage of his kind offer
Yesterday the apparatus was tested. The
little steamer Johnny Schneider was charter
ed and will hereafter be used for that pur-
pose. The expanss between the point OF

on board to observe the results. The Day

Operations having been discontinued, the
whole building has been ransacked from
attic to cellar. Even the floors have been
torn up and replaced with new material.
In the engine room d new boiler has been
added. Throughout the entire establish

paired, improved, and added to. In about
two weeks, with largely increased facilities
for rapid and FIRST class work. operations
will be resumed. The demand Cor paper
