Lake Erie DRYING I'D.

1t is predicted that Lake Erie, now
the pathway of a mighty commerce,
will. in time, dry up and become the
home Of a teeming population. Careful
surveys have shown that while Lake
Michigan has an average depth OF
1900 feet, Lake Superior OF 900 feet,
Lake Ontario OF 500 feet and Lake Erie
an average depth of l20 feet, which is
said to be constantly decreasing. The
bottom of the lake is quite level, and
composed of soft clay. This clay is
constantly accumulatng from sediment
carried down by tributary streams.
The south shore is composed OF easily
disintegrating blue, gray and olive
shoals and gray sandstone. The west
ern and northern coasts are made up OF
limestone OF the Heidelberg group
which quickly yields to the action Of
the waves Consequently both shores
constantly are contributing to fill up
the bed of the lake. The work is not
rapid, but it is said to be as certain as
fate

AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.

A Wealthy Newark Grocer Incar.
cerated In the Trenton Lunatic
Asylum by HIS wife.
From the New York Times, l0th.l
Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Bischoffs-
berger and her brother-in.law,
Simon Strentz, were arrested in New
ark, charged with unls wfully depriving
Mr.. Biscboffaberger Of his liberty and
attempting to defrand him Of his prop
erty. The story is told by one of Mr..
Bischoffsberger's friends as follows:
Several months ago, Mrs. Bischoffs-
berger, having q desire to get her hus-
band out OF the house, for the purpose
of securing control Of his property, to
which scheme, it is alleged, she was
urged by Syentz, induced physician to
give q certificate that her husband was
insane. To this certificate she pro-
duced, also, the signature of a drug
clerk, who pretended to have medical
diploma. Upon this document Mr..
Bischofsberger was hurried away to the
ASYLUM at Trenton, to which he was
admitted by the Superintendent without
any careful examination. The wife
paid six months board in advance for
her husband at the asylum.
In the mean time some Of her hus-
baud's friends became suspicious OF the
stories that had been given out relative
to Mr.. Bischofsberger's whereabouts,
and instituted search. Taey were un.
expectedly aided by Dr.. Polhemus, who
had signed the certificate of insanity
and had fallen out with Mrs. Bischoffs.
berger because she would not pay him
a promised fee. They then took steps
to release Mr.. Bischoffsberger from the
asylum. The six months for which
Mrs. Bischoffsberger had paid board
having expired, the Superinten-
Dent OF the asylum suddenly
discovered that Bischoffsberger was
not insane, and wrote 10 Mrs. Bischoffs-
berger informing her OF the fact, and or.
dering her to come and take him away.
Mrs. Bischoffsberger, instead Of doing
this, sent pay for three months more to
the asylum, and told the Superintendent
to keep her husband longer. At this
point came the interference Of Mr..
Bischoffsbeger's friends, and although
the Superintendent Of the Trenton
Asylum had. accepted the money sent
him, he was compelled to give up his
patient. The latter was taken to
Newark, where he remains at the
house of NJ. Gudalh, in William street.
This gentleman, alter he had learned
all the facts, made the affidavit upon
which Mrs Bischoff.berger and Strentz
were arrested The prisoners were
committed to the city prison in default
Of bail to await trial on Monday at ten
o'clock. 1t is the intention Of Mr..
Gudalh and other friends Of Mr.. Bis
choffsberger to have the conduct Of the
Superintendent OF the Asylum and the
ph ysiciaus fully investigated.

ENGLAND.
Aid for Boston.

LONDON, November 14.-Arrauge-
ments for the relief Of the sufferers by
the Boston fire are being made in this
city. The merchants have expressed
a desire to remit direct to that city the
amounts they subscribe. Barring Bros
and other prominent merchants and
bankers have directed their agents in
America to contribute to the relief OF
the sufferers by the Boston fire.
A meeting Of the Common Council
of this city was held to-day, when the
subject of the Boston calamity was dis
cussed. and resolutions adopted sym.
pathizing with Boston in her hour OF
disaster. 1t was decided to extend
substantial aid to the sufferers.
Opening or the Law Term-The
Geneva acknowledgements by
Gladstone and COckburn.
The opening OF the law term for the
coming season was made the occasion
of a grand banquet in the Middle Tenn.
pie, this evening. A number Of mem
bers of Parliament participated, as also
did number of distinguished lawyers
and foreign ambassadors. Premier
Gladstone and Chief Justice Cockburn
were present and delivered addresses, in
which the recent meeting at Geneva
and the decision OF the Alabama arbi.
tration claim question was brought for
ward and made a subject OF discourse.
Mr.. Gladstone, in the course his re-
marks, said that he felt no depression
whatever at the result OF the Geneva
arbitration and would not retract in the
slightest sense the steps which his gov.
ernment had taken in the settlement Of
the Alabama difficulty. He trusted that
the principle OF arbitration III all ques-
tions of difference between foreign
powers would henceforth be generally y
accepted and thus in the future prevent
bloodshed and misery to mankind.
Chief Justice Cockburn held to the
same view regarding England's position
with reference to the result Of the arbi'
tration as set forth by Mr. Gladstone.
He reviewed the origin OF the difficulty
which had resulted in the appointment
OF a Boar OF Arbitration, and consid-
cred that the future explanation which
should be made concerning the action
Of England in the case Of the privateer
Alabama would prove to the world that
England was right iu the course she
had talon

Prof Tyudall as a Lecturer.

Prof TyudaiI as q LeciureF'
Prot. Tyndslls manner as lecturer is
in a remarkable degree individual and
unique. He never reads, but holds bis
audience by the power OF lucid asd
forcible extemporaneous statement. He
is not what would be called fluent or
even speaker, who keeps up cont'nu-
GUS strain OF agreeable utterance. He
is not an elegant declaimer, whose
measured cadences are accompanied by
graceful and appropriate gestures: de
is irregular and sometimes nesitatlng IN
speech, and unstudied in gestures and
movements. His habit Of speaking has
been formed in connection with his
habit of experimenting, and this latter
is 80 essential feature OF his platform
exercises that it greatly influences
his manner of public address Clear
ness, force, vividness Of description,
felicity of illustration. and the elo-
quence inspired by grand conception are
the striking features Of his style. VI
poetic and imaginative temperament,
hut with these traits under thorough
disc pine, he gives vivacitv and attract
iveness to accurate and solid exposition.
Prof. Tyndall is a thoroughly trained
and well poised enthusiast in science
He is intensely in earnest, and is always
as much interested in the subject and
the proceedings "a the audience he car
res with him. He is remarkable ex'
ample of self forget'ulness upon the
platform, being always absorbed in his
subject. Strongly sympathetic with his
audience, he seems animated by but one
purpose, to make them understand the
question before them, to make them see
it and feel it as he sees and teels il. As
an original and sklliul experimenter.
Prof Tyndall is unrivslled Fertile
and ingenious in contrivances for bring.
ing out his points, the effects are always
telling and impressive Yet the exper
iments are never the main things; they
are always subordinate to the idea with
which he is desling-help to its pre-
sentation. He is never eclipsed by his
own pyrotechny, but holds the attention
OF his listeners closely to the question
under examination.
