A Peculiar Phenomenon.

A peculiar phenomenon occurred at
Racine, Wis, few days ago. The
water in the river, which was at its
usual height, suddenly commenced to
recede, and in less than ten minutes the
current was running out at tcn-milc
rate, and the water went down four feet
four inches. In the lake the water also
receded, leaving the bottom dry for
seventy-fivc feet to the first lighthouse.
The water remained stationary for few
minutes and then rushed back and rose
one foot above the ordinary level.
