Crossing the River.

Sleighs were compelled to desist from
crossing the river on the ice Saturday
morning, as the Ice had been made un>
safe by covering of water from two to
six inches in depth. This gave special
cause for rejoicing to the hack drivers,
who could thus get out their hacks and
charge 25 cents for the trip around the
bridges. AS foot travel around that way
was almost impossible on account of the
deep slush and mud This was bonanza
for the jehus. who had a monopoly of the
travel across the river. This morning the
surface water on the river was frozen
sufficiently hard to bear person and a
few took the chances ofbreaking through
but sleighs did not venture to try the ice,

The Divining Rod.
ANON.
[Communicated.l

lSoWnuhiCateu.
 We all have heard of the witch hazle, the water wizard. witches, etc. know something, and some things I don't know. I know that some people believe in hunting after water with the divining rod, and others make sport of the idea. I have been student of the intricate laws of Dame Nature for 3o years, and know but little yet. Attraction repulsion gravity. Let those who make sport of the diyining rod answer how much time they ever gave those intricate laws. l have put blocks of timber of different sizes into quiet pools of wa. ter and noticed that the lesser blocks would adhere to each other, and that all would adhere to the larger block, thereby proving that gravity was in- ate. Many other experiments I have made to prove that matter of itself possessed in itself gravity separate and apart from our earth as an aggregate. We find that dry earth is not possessed of the weight (gravity), of moist earth. Again, we can very nearly put into the same space cubic foot ot dry earth and cubic foot of water. Now when we blend matter into half the space before occupied, we find gravity (weight) materially increased, but who is prepared to dlsprove that with the blending of matter with the increase of gravity (per cubic foot), that mate gravity is not the more (per cubic foot) than before thus blended2 Now, the dlvining rod needs to be very long, very elastic and is held very cautiously, so that with the least increase of gravity it can be observed in the bending of the rod. Once l was attending a performance of water wizard, and he gave up until another time before giving his con- clusion because of the wind, and I could scarcely observe a breeze at all, but our expert said that there was enough to interfere with the rod. Suffice it to say that our knight of the rod did conclude, and seapage only was obtained by digging to quite depth, just as predicted by the knight of the witch lrazle.
 Come, now, don't all speak at once, but let us hear from the other side of the question. l claim I don't know, but MLk that when earth and water occupy the same space the law of at- traction (gravity) is greater, and might take effect on a man, horse or an elastic twig. $ M.
