DEPTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. There
is q mystery about the American lakes
Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy feet
deep; but Lake Ontario, which is 500 feet
deep, is $50 feet deep below the tide level
of the ocean, OF as low rs most parts Of
the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and the bottoms
of Lake Huron, Mich igan and Superior,
although the surface is much higher, are
all from their vast depth on level with
the bottom OF Ontario. Now as the De-
troit river, after allowing all the probable
portion carried off by evaporation, does
not appear by any means equal to the
quantity of water which the three upper
lakes receive, it has been conectured that
a subterranean river may run from Lake
Superior, by the Huron, to Lake Ontario.
This conjecture is not impossible, and ac-
counts for the singular fact that herring
and salmon are caught in all the lakes
communicating with the St. Lawrence,
but no others. AS the Falls of Niagara
must have always existed, it would puzzle
the naturalist to say how these fish got in
to the upper lakes without some subter-
ranean river, besides, any periodical ex-
aminations of the river would furnish a
not improbable solution of the mysterious

y remarkable instance Of presence of
mind on the part of the captain of L man
of-war is related by the st. Petersburg
papers. About the end of last month the
Russian war trigate Olaf, which had ac-
companed the yacht of the CHarewitch to
Copenhagen, was lying at anchor among
hundreds OF other ships in the harbor
when fire was discovered in 4 coal eel
lar below, which was only u few feet
from the powder magazine There was
no time to put out the fire before it could
reach the magazine, and an explosion OF
the large stores OF cartridges and gun
powder contained in it would probably
have destroyed not only the Olaf and the
surrounding ships, but part Of Copenha-
gen itself Captain Rchbindei, the COM
mander of the Olaf saw at once that the
only thing to be done to prevent a catas-
trophe was to sink the ship After send
ing away the crew with the ships papers,
cash boxes and mostvauable Instruments
in boats, he ordered the carpenters ;tid
engineers t. make q leak ia tie vessel,
and half IN hour afterwards She sank in
very deep water. Next d1y she was
raised again and after some provisional
| repairs tahen to ConStradt, whore
she is now lying in dock pendiu@ her
complete restoration for service. The
damage done is stated to be- comparative
lv trilling. and the court-inartial Held on
the officers OF the vessel unanimously cN-
pressed the highest praise OF the conduct
of the captain and his sub0rdnateS. The
Emperor has appointed him his ail-de-
camp, which is one Of the highest honor,
conferred on Russian naval officers. anu

Early yesterday morning. Henry
Wood. a well-known river pilot, and an
other river man. named Hardin Samucls,
began filling themselves with whisky,
and as consequence, began quarrellins.
They kept up their quarrel until about ~
O'Clock, when the difficulty was brought
to focus ut the corner OF Eighth street
and Ohio levee. 1t seems that SImuels
had several times attempted to strike
Wood with billet of wood, but failed
each time. aud when lie tried It for the
last Time Wood drow large pocket
knife and jabbed It into samu'rs right
breast, near the pi. of the arm. Wood
was arrested by Sheriff Irwin and Deputy
Sheriff John Cain, who took the Knit,
away from hiaI, and put him into the
lookup, to await his trial, which VII.
take place before Judge Bros at &c
o'clock this morning. When Sheriff
Irwin attempted to take lh, .c way
from Wood, he found 1t in 30 ,1oael
open ana ready for use, should ae hav.
occasion to use il. and Wood did not up,
pear to relish the idea OF giving 1t up.
Samuel's wognd was examined by Or
Brigham, aud found to be light, though
II will prove rather painful for ~om,
days.

On Sunday morning last. between .
and 10 o'clock. the attention Of Mr.. sad
Mrs. Gladney was attracted by the cry
ing OF a child in the streets in front OF
their house. Mr.. Gladuey lives near the
corner Of Twelfth and Walnut streets.
On going 10 the door Mr.. Gladney
found a little white boy, i'll clad, wet,
and suffering with cold toddlng along
the sidewalk. lie approached the little
fellow and took him into the house,
where he yet remains, no one having
called for him, nor has the parents Of the
little shaver been found. When pjcked
up by Mr.. Glsdney the chill on L
sack made of All old white pollen
blanket, a check Jacket, stocking that
may at ono time have been white, ana
kid shoes.
A description Of the child il a. follows:
Brown hair, black eyes, rosy-cheeked
and very llcshy. He gives his name rs
Charlie, but being unable to utter many
words can give no account OF himself.
He seems 10 be perfectly at home with
his new found friends, and well con-
tented.
From gentleman living In the vicinity,
we ascertained that few days ago n
woman with CHILD much resembling the
little boy now at Gladney's. WIS seen IN
the neishborhood f; and that she inquired
very particularly about the names Of the
streets. This same woman was seen ut
about 10 O'Clock Sunday morning going
south on Twelfth street, but the child
was not with her.
The theory il that the mother, being
Loor and unable TO obtain employment,
could not support the child. and deter
mined to abandon it at SOME point where
she believed ii would be taken up and
cared for. This is probably the correct
theory. If the little fellow had strayed
away from home, or been lost, some one
would have been found to lay claim to
him lon. before this.
What Mr.. Gladney proposes to do With
his charge we do no, know.
