Depth of the Great Lakes.

There is mystery about the Ameri- can lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty, or seventy, feet. deep; but Lake Ontario, which is 600 feet deep, is 230 feet deep below the tide level of the ocean. or as low as most parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and the bottom of Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior, although the surface is much higher, are all from their vast depth on level with the bottom of Ontario; now as the Detroit river, after allowing all the probable portion carried of by evaporation, does not appear by any means eqnd to the quantity ofiwater which the three upper lakes receive, it hasAbeen conjectured that subterranean river may run from Lake Superior, by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This conjecture isnotimpossf
 ble, and daccounts for the sin enlar fact tthat herring and salmon are ca9ght in all the lakes communicating with tReySt. sIswl renee, but no othera.z As ehe Fallsaof Niagara must have existed it would pug, gle the naturalist to say how these fish got into the upper lake without some sub5erranean river; besides, any periodi- cal examinations of the river would fur nish notimprobables solution of the mys- terious Aux and refux of the lakes.

Vicissitudes of Mining.

There is nothing more difficult in this world of difficulty than to persevere against adverse fortune. We suppose that the gold mines have a thousand stories of the lottery of the lode-here is one which we find in the correspondence of the Kansas City NeaOs: About two years ago two young men had between them about $400, "the savings of long spell of work" They were offered a- half interest in 8 gold mine at Central City, Col, if they would sink it thirty feet deeper. Upon each side are the "Veto" and other paying lodes, but these. had good roads to the mills, and furnaces of wealthy companies More over, the mine was difficult of access; it was necessary to carry the ore in gunny sacks for considerable distance then to pack it upon mules ;and thus, by the time it reached the mills, the gold in it would not pay expenses. The young workers when they. had spent ali their ready, money. became discouraged and abandoned the contract. This year two new spectators came, and undertook to go on with the work upon the same terms. They had not sunk more than two feet in this abandoned claim when they struck ore worth $2, GOO per ton. The feelings of their unfortunate. prede- cessors can be imagined.

The Fate of a Missing Army Paymaster.

- ~~~N0---O Major John s. Walker was native of Fryeburg, Me. where he fitted for col sleges pursued the study of law, and was married to bis first wife. During the late war he was appointed paymaster's s clerk, subsequently paymaster, and at the close of the war was transferred to the regular army. For short time he was stationed at the South, but finally was ordered to Portland, Oregon the place of his residence at the time of his sdecease, On his return from Alaska,
 where heshad been sent to pay off the troops, he embarked in company with
 wife on board the steamer George S.
 Wright, bound for Portland, January,
 1873. Nothing has ever been heard of the steamer, and althought many reports were for time in circulation, the fate of the passengers and crew has remained mystery.i' Two years and half after the supposed loss of the vessel and all on board the remains of Major Walker were found on the shore of an island
 twelve miles west of Cape Oygane, the southwest point of Alaska. Two Indians were hunting, and trapping otter and mink, when they saw strange object on the shore, and on landing they found the larger portion of the remains with a life preserver around them, while other parts were somewhat scattered. A few yards from the body they discovered two punches of keys, sleeve button, and about $40 in gold coin. They saw no relics of the steamer. Subsequently they told at Sitka what they had seen, and by the keys and button the remains were identifedas those of Major Walker. A revenue cutter recovered the remains, and they were buried at Fort Vancouver

Butter and Cheese.

Y .EA E a
 The census figures concerning the amount of butter produced in the United States, says an authority, are regarded as defective by all he-trade. The best estimate of the annual production is that furnished by committee of the leading merchapts of the New York Butter and Cheese EEchange: They place the smoupt lat I 44OsQOO, 900 pounds year. It is interesting to note the steps by which this estimate was attained. The committee believe that 5000, 900 of our population consume one pound each per week :; 10000, 900, three-fourths of a pound 1O,OOO,000, one-half of a pound; 1O,OOO,OOO, one-quarter of n pound. Thus 35, 0OO; 900 people would consume 1,04O. GOO, GOO pounds each year for tablesuse, and ons-third as much for culinary purposes. This leaves 5000, 900 of our population as non-consum .rs The exports of butter are 53, ,333, ,353 sumption, makes the annual production l, ,440, 900, 900 pounds. ''

Lost his Sheep.

In the late fearful storms in France 596 sheep were killed at Belle Coste by one flash of lightning. They belonged to flock of 800 head, the property of farmer. His loss amounts to 13,OOO francs. About 2,0OO were thrown down headlong. Two boys were just arriving with the shepherds lunch, and they set to work with great presence of mind to disengage the heap of carcasses. Many others must have died from -suffoc tion but for, this help. Some of the incidents noted are curious. The s epherd had his sa6ots broken, while one of his gaiters was struck off, and has not been found. The man is unhurt, but much shaken. His dog was,lying between his legs when the bolt fell 1; it carried the body twelve yards, and twelve carcasses of sheep were found piled above it.

A HUNCHBACK'S REVENGE.

Murdering Two of the Boys who had Made
 Fun of his DefOrmity. Gf ad Says 0 Correspondent writing from Italy: Great alarm was created in the village of Incisa, near Florence, by the mysterious disappearance of two boys, aged respectively eight and nine years. It was supposed that they might have fallen into the stream, where they went to fish and ,bathe, but no traces of them or their clothes could be found. All kinds sof Exaggerated ideas got afoat in the village, more particularly as these were not the first children who had sud- denly, disappeared, and it was asserted adjoining woods One day while one of, the women of. the village was arranging her hair sat the back window of her room, she heard frightful shrieks, and recognized them as coming from Ameri+ go Turchi, 8 boy nine years old, and that they proceeded from the workshop of one Carlo Grsndi, 8 cart carpenter. She ran down into the street and alarm ed the sneighbors, who made for the workshop, which they found cl osed, the. boy crying loudly for help from within. After vain attempts to get Grandi to ad- nit them, they burst open the door, and found him struggling to force the boy into hole. He had cut the child fear fully about the head, and from his mouth blood was flowing, caused, as the boy afterward narrated, by 8 wedge Grand had tried to wedge into his mouth to gag him. ..es
 After the man was secured it was ob- served that some of the bricks of the flooring were loose, and on being res moved the first. thing seen was child s hand. The place was quickly. dug up, and the mutilated bodies of the two boys who had disappeared ten days be- fore were discovered: and on the hole into which Grand was trying to force Amerigo Turchi being examined, 8 number of other children's bones were found at the bottom. No sooner was the thing known than the village be- came "a scene of tue widest excitement, and the authorities had to send off in hot haste for whatever military and po- lice there were in the vicinity, and @ sufficient force arrived just in time to save the wretch from, being torn to pieces by the popuIace.
 It seems that the murderer, Grandi, was Reformed man of diminutive stat ure, high rounded shoulders, very large head, upon which there was not a scrap of hair, and repulsive features. As is too often the case in Italy, such unfortu- nate creatures become the object of open public ridicule. The boys of Incisa had been in the habit of teasing and tor menting Grandi and playing all kinds of practical jokes on him, and it was in revenge for this that he mad, as opportu- nifty offered, enticed now one and then another of the ringleaders into his work shop, and there murdered them, bury ing them under the floor. Amerigo Turchi said that Grandi had invited him into his workshop under the pretext of having some fun with the other boys 1 that to accomplish this he was to hide in the hole Grandi uncovered, but that i'm mediately he entered it Grandi attempt ed to strangle him. e. ..ss.- -...r .s4
