for approval.

p6- Within the last fortnight the
Mississippi river has risen considerably
and threatened considerable damage to
lands and property along its banks.
Several crcvasses have been reported be-
tween Red Church and this City, but
through great and untiring exertions
they have been stopped or partially SO.
Much anxiety exists on both sides of the
river near the city on account of the
height to which the water has got and
i, one or two places immense exertions
night and day have been required to ar
rest the flow of water into the districts
in consequence Of crevasses. The rive,
opposite New Orleans is within little
over foot of the high water mark Of
1862.

Mrs. FRANCES HARPER.

According to announcement, this lady
delivered her lecture in the Senate Cham
Der, on Wednesday evening last; and not
outstanding the brief and limited notice
to the public, the room was conveniently
full, with a respectable and attentive
company of listeners. The subject, The
Work before Us" was handled with the
hand of an accomplished artist. She
briefly reviewed the condition of the coun-
try before the war, pointing out the two
opposite policies, two antagonistic ideas,
Of the North and South; the one anti
slavery, the other proslavery, the one for
the equality of al men, the other for the
necessary inferiority and subsection of a
portion Of its people.
CHANGING at the mighty changes which
have grown out of the struggle, the lee
turer turned to our position, prospects
and duties. Abiding to the means in
our power, and the prime elements at
command, she divided her theme into the
three parts of muscle power, brain powe,
and political power. Each of these ele-
ments she developed by a course of clear
close, logical reasoning, and force O
illustration which so commended them.

A SUBTERRANEAN POND CONTAINING
EYELESS FISH IN PENNSYLVANIA.

From the Montrose (Pa.) Republican
It is well known that great trouble
and expense have been caused by the
sinking of q portion of the track of the
new Jefferson railroad where it crosses a
swamp in Ararat township, in this county.
It has been found that under the swamp
is a subterranean pond, of several acres
in extent and of considerable depth.
This pond is covered by about six feet in
depth of black earth, which supports a
heavy growth of woods. The trees are
mostly of soft maple, pine, hemlock and
birch, many of them ranging from six
inches to three feet in diameter. Last fall
it was discovered that this subterranean
pond contains many fish, of the kind
usually found in this part Of the country
-pickerel and SINNERS" among others
but all without eyes! In the darkness
of their subterranean abode, they have no
use for the organ Of vision. The Bel
pond, about mile and half distant, is
now growing over" A considerable part
of it has become subterranean within the
last twenty years, and, probably, before
many years it will be entirely coveret
like the other. This pond is abou
twenty acres in extent. For some dis
lance from the shore it is filed with {
dense growth Of water-ilies, and these
no doubt furnish the foundation OF
which the superstructure Of earth il

THANKS TO MIR. SHELLABARGER.

We learn from the Washington
Chronicle that on Saturday afternoon q
delegation of gentlemen representing the
colored people of all parts Of the country,
proceeded to the Speakers room at the
Capitol for the purpose OF thanking Mr..
Shellabarger for his labors i'll behalf of
the loyal people of the South, and to COL
sratulate him upon the passage of the
"Ku-Klux bill" through the House.
Mr.. ]. Sella Martin, the spokesman Of
the delegation, said
Mr.. Shellabarger: We come to you to-

life and success; and we desire now to
congratulate you, its author, upon the
passage of the bill, which we hope will
prove equal to the emergency. We
therefore, extend to you our heartfelt
thanks for your labor in the course Of
justice.
Mr. Martin then proceeded, in mas.
terly manner, to give i'll detail some o.
the many instances Of outrages that have
been perpetrated upon the loyal people
of the South.
Mr.. Shellabarger responded briefly:
