Curious Phenomenon.

Parties emplyed at the mills and
manufactures on either side of the
river in this city were greatly aston
ished, this morning, on discovering
that the good head of water flowing in
the river last evening had been reduced
during the night by some mysterious
agency to less than the slack supply of
midsummer, and, in fact, the water
power of the river was almost COM
pietely lost for the time. Little or no
water was descending the river, and
the level above the first dam had tal-
len three feet, when last evening con
siderable body of water was pourng
over the top of the dam. and the mill
races running full. In the harb' r and
above the bridges no movement OF the
water was perceptible, where quite IL
sti1 current prevailed yesterday, and
the ice commenced 10 form across the
river.
During the forenoon the river com
menced to gather again slowly, but it
is still far below the natural level. No
satisfactory explanation has yet been
given Of this rather startling occur
renee, which seems to threaten the
stability of the water power, which is
the great element of our business pros
perity. Some people ascribe it sud
den freezing up Of the tributary
streams; others are speculating on the
probability of quiet earthquake, in
some way brought about by the total
eclipse of the sun which occurred this
morning, and which, some philosophers
predicted, would be the cause of un-
usual commissions of nature. But the
phenomenon is still unexplained

Held Her Own.

The Hornellsville Tribune relates
the following We are told that
well.to merchant of Warsaw invit-
ed young lady of the same place to
take short buggy ride with him on
Thursday of last week. The young
lady consented, and the pair started
in the direction of the railroad depot.
While on the road the young blood
proposed getting married before return
ing. The fair one consented, and they
accordingly took the cars for Hnrnells-
yille, where they arrived about two
o'clock on Friday morning.-Ihey
went Ia hotel, and the intended groom
called for rom with bed in it, and
then informed the young lady that he
had secured private apartments for
themselves and wished to retire. But
she couldn't see it from where she was;
she politely told the gallant that she
guessed she would "be married little
firstp The poor man begged and
plead to postpone the ceremony until
daylight, but it was no use she would
be married then and there or return
home on the next train, which left
within thirty minutes. So rather than
blast all his bright hopes and anticipa-
tions, he was forced TO toddle up town
and arouse a sleepy divine, and with
the assistance of number of boardsrs,
for witnesses, they were put in condi-
ton to take private room. Then the
fair bride concluded she would rather
go home, and they accordingly went
back to Warsaw, within an hour af-
ter they had arrived in town.

A Fearful Ride.

Frank Trask, fireman, running on
the night freight train from the city of
Providence, had a most remarkable
escape from death on the 9th inst.
AS the train was going on the down
grade, east from the summit of Bolton
Mountain he went to the forward part
of the engine to oil the piston. The
oil is distributed better when the train
is going the fastest and he took this
part of the road, wheres train gets its
highest speed, to attend to it. BY some
sudden motion of the locomotive he
lost his hold and was thrown forward
on to the COW catcher. Instead of
rolling off and being dashed to pieces,
as.he expected the pilot caught him by
a few threads in the Cardigan jacket
he had on, 50 that he was held fast
with his feet dragging upon the ground
-dashing along in that perilous situa-
ton, from 15 to 20 miles an hour. He
did not lose his consciousness nor his
presence of mind in the slightest de-
gree, but nerved himself to take the
best chances for his life. By a des-
parate effort he succeeded in keeping
his head raised, so that it escaped the
ground-though he was hanging close
down. and the least depression would
dash him to pieces. The engineer in
the meantime. had not discovered the
frightful position eff his assistant till,
thinking that he was gone longer than
usual, he looked forward and there
saw his shadow, by the light of the
moon, running a phantom race with
the iron horse. In an instant he whis-
tied down brakes, and the speed began
to slack but in the sudden checking
of the train, the tender threads OF
Trask's jacket broke and he was hurl
ed to the ground, pitching over and
over; aid yet he retained his self
possession, and when his associate ar
rived by his side he was MS clear-head
ed as ever. He had noticed the alarm
for down brakes, and felt that his posi-
tion was discovered. He was taken to
Wilmantic and brought back to thi;
city. There were several cuts and
contusions on his legs and the lower
part of his body but no fractures, nor
anything Of a particularly dangerous
nature. Two or three months ago be
was on the same train coming from
Providence, when the engince ran into
a turn-table at Wilmantic, and then
had his arm broken, which was not en-.
tirely healed. He says if he had the
use of both arms he could have extri-
Gated himself. but being disabled made
his situation not only more hazardous,
but his escape from death more miracu.

Sponges From the Florida Reef.

Sponges were very numerous, though
we were told that large portion were
not worth gathering. The sponger
could readily distinguish the best as
he pushed his boat over them. Some
of the coarser kinds, not marketable,
are four feet in diameter, They are
more or less concove at the apex. A
black membraneOus tunic covers them,
and soft jeIly-like portions project in
to the pores and cavities, constituting
the slight claim they have to place
in the animal kingdom. Animal mu-
Gus and fat oil have been found III their
analysis; so the vexed question is set.
tied by chemistry, and the are un-
questionably admitted to the ranks of
animated nature, though far from ac-
tive members. A slight current is OBJ
servable over the openings, and nour-
ishment is probably absorbed as it cir
culates through them. The frame
work is made up of silica, wonderful
proportion, in the form of spicule or
spinters. Unlike most other marine
objects, sponge is less attractive in its
living state; only after the soft parts
are removed is it pleasing to the eye.
The pretty urn and other shaped
sponges found on the beaches are mere
ly the skeletons.
A large trade is now carried on at
Key West in this article. Small
schooners, from ten to twenty tons
burden, are employed. They are much
the shape of half an egg, and as fiat
as is consistent with due regard to sail
ing qualities; approaching, probably,
as near as is possible the mythic craft
that is said to "hoat in heavy dew"
These vessels lie at anchor in The
channels, while the spongers push their
small boats over the flats to gather the
sponge. In some places they dive for
it, and in shoal water grapple them.
The specimens are very heavy, being
loaded with water and the jellylike
animal matter. They are buried in
the sand of the beaches until the mat.
ter is decomposed, when they are wash
ed and carried to Key West, collected
upon strings of convenient length, and
bleached in the sun. That portion OF
Key West called Conchtown in the
principal depository, where the yards
and fences are loaded withthem. For
many years nearly all the sponge col
lected on the Florida Reef was sold at
Key West to an Israelite of fIew York
one Isaacs; latterly others have enter
ed the trade, very respectable in
come is derived from it.-Harper's
Magazine for February.

don't dare to call out the affections Of
a young lady unless you can make her
your wife. Her love is her life, and
you have no business with it unless she
is your prospective wife. 1t is danger
Gus to think to triAe with a girls aiiec.
tons, and there is not so much fiction
about broken hearts as you may imag-
inc. A lady, Mrs. Ayers, had two pidg-
cons which she kept in one cage with
only bars between them, and when one
of them was taken away the other flew
about in prison in great distress, and
finally fell dead, and a subsequent ex-
animation showed that its heart was
actually burst in twaiu. So of young
lady who was disappointed in love.
She refused to marry, and lived life
of devotion to her first love, though
she was years in recovering from the
shock Of her disappointment. At her
death she requested that post mort
EN- examination be made, and that
post mortem showed that there had
been on actual sundering of the heart.
tell you that broken hearts are not
entirely figurative, but if they were,
you should not tr;he with the affections
of any one, and thus do them no wrong
which can never be remedied. But
you say, Professor cannot be decently
polite to the ladies without being in.
volved in love affair. Well, l tell
you, no young lady under twenty-one
ever gave her love unsolicitedJ and
here l will tell you a story. A young
Hoosier once said to Hoosieress, "Sal
is there anybody courtin' you now?''
meaning thereby to invuire whether OF
not his address were acceptable. And
Sal replied, swell, Sam, there is one
fellow sorter courtin' and sorter not

Whatever is worth doing at all i:
worth doing we'll. Again, if you have
10 marry the whole family i'll order tc
to get your sweetheart, let me tell you
that the old folks will interfere, and
advise you to open the doors and win
dnws and tell them their room is better
than their company. By all means
stick to your wife. If, as is often the
case, there is a sister who is jealous o
the attentions which are given to the
wife, instead of the sister, and she in
terferes by pointing out what she con
sidered u .ault, and says your wife i
not such a pink of perfection after all
that sister deserves pitching out Of Il

A Magnetic Spring.

The Magnetic Spring recently open
ed on the eastern shore of Lake Mich
is really quite remarkable discovery,
and add to the list of mineral waters
a new kind, apparently far more po-
tent than Vichy, Kissingen, Congress,
Katalysine or Welden. 1t was reach
ed accidentally, by men employed in
drilling a salt well at the depth OF
two hundred and fifty feet they fetched
water of all entirely unique quality. 1t
holds, in solution, 400 grains Of com;
mon salt to the gallon of water, be-
sides the bi-carbonates of soda, lime
iron, maganese and magnesium, the
chlorides of potassium, caldum and
magnesium, the bromide of magnesium
and traces of silica, alumina and am
monia. Its magnetic powers are so
strong that pocket knife left beneath
its current for few minutes will be
mognetized to pick up tacks, while its
its buoyancy, when heated to 30 de-
grees Fahrenheit, it very remarkable,
floating bathers readily. Its medical
quaiities are of course pulled up to the
highest notch; and undoubtedly they
are considerable. The place where the
spring was found is lumber depot,
which, with the usual rapid growth ot
western villsgcs, numbers already l5OO
inhabitants, with five churches,an acad-
emy, and an agricultural hall. One I
its peculiarities is that acres of its area
are built out of sawdust, streets graded
from two to four feet deep with this
material, and the chief hotel III Spring
Lake is an old saw-mill transformed,
with bath rooms and nearly every
modern appurtenance. The owners OF
the spring ale also building hotel
and Spring Lake is likely to become
the watering place of the West.
