JoHSsoN's FALLs.-A beautiful cascade Of
some one hundred fee; fall has sprung up at the
lake, and is flowing at :ull tide daily. Hun
dreis of people have witnessed it within the last
day OF two, and all have been well paid for their
visit, and have seen Montmorenci on 4 small
scale. without visiting Quebec
We have referred to this mAtter before
This waterfall is being employed to remove the
high sand bank into the lake, where nine acres
of land are being made. Messrs. G. L. Llnsley
and G. 5. Appleton are the contractors Of the
work, which is superintended by Elmore John
son, Eco. The engine and pumps are located
on the lake shore, about eight hundred feet
northwest Of the cut that leads to the railroad
tunnel. The tubing, which is Of cast iron, six
teen inches in diameter, extends from The pumps
directly up the steep bank to It's summit, thence
slong the crest about four hundred feet. when
the water IS conducted further On in = tube Of
wood. From this tube, the water is conducted
in an open race, back to the brow CT the hill,
and cuts It's way to the chAsm below, carrying
the earth before it. From the base OF the hill,
other race-wsys are arranged to conduct the
water snd earth to the lake, where the earth is
deposited
This is superb piece of engineering. su3
reflects great credit on Yankee ingenuity it is
merely the application of an old principle to
new purpose, which has been at work on our
sand hills at every rain, within the memory OF
man. The work of construction, Of course has
been quite expensive, but any one cSn see the
saving Of labor in it, as it does the work Of
more than two hundred and fifty men with horse
carts, in the came time, and not over half
dozen men, all told, are employed upon the
works.
The pumps have been in full operation but
little more than one day, and probably over
five thousand yards Of earth have been removed.
The heavy ayslsnehes Of sand, as the banks be-
come loosened and plunge to the bottom, sre
wonderfully magnificent, and well repay a visit
to the spot. These who view the sights from
above should remember that their foundation

stances, is rather precarious. It will be little
remarkable if We are not called upon to chroni-
Gle the loss of life through yenturesome care
