A Western Wonder.
A wondetful discovery has just been made
about,, six miles west of Dubuque, Iowa,
whieh consists of a cave of immense dimen-
sions and magnificent gorgeousness and
beanty. While mining for lead ore a Mr.
Rice made the discovery in 4ning al nar-
row passage, Which he fotlowedup seven
hundred feet, leading into aa large r0011.11
connected by a narrow passage with Many
-
Others, which he followed a distance of about
ono thousand feet, where the cave seemed to
terminate. - He afterwards sunk a shaft of
thirty feet deep, intersecting the cave near
its termination ani he and his party of five
descended, and entering another narrow
passage- of &pout one hundred feet, where
it expands into a large hall of about one
hundred feet long, forty to fifty wide and
from ten to fifteen feet high, and orna-
mented with stalactites of great beauty,
the roof like a miniatmze sky, studded and
spangled with orbs of utost brilliant lustre,
and presenting a crystalline surface of ex-
quisite fineness and lustre, which flashes by -
the light ot the torches with great brilliancy.
From this room the cave branches in two
-directions at au angle of about forty degrees,
which, being traversed for- about half a
mile the explorers found se s eral other cham-
bers of even greater dimensions and gceatly
exceeding the first in beauty andin interest,
the entire sides and roofs being covered
with snow -whit 6 stalactites and frostalike
encrustations of carbonate of lime and gyp-
sum. La many parts of the cave might also
have been seen aray mite, and at distances va-
rying from ten to fifteen feet are deep reces-
ses in theswalls, scalarge and high in some
cases as to enable them to walk aboet rn
. them. On the floors of , these recesses
many stalagmites hacLformed, one resent-
blin,g a huge polar boar,and other forma-
tions resembling clusters Of grapes, kc.
In another place a hat& was distinctly trAc-
ed. -The water in the cave is so clear that
in places where it is ten inches deep it does
not appear to be more than two. The pat-
ty remained in. the cave about six hours,
and travelled it for about two miles.
Life at Red River—How the People

The Suez Canal.
Tke news of the safe passage of the Amnia
troop ship from Suez Canal, and will give
pleasure to thousands of brave fellows in
India to whom, if -invalids, a voyage home
round theaCape has been a thing to dread.
. When the Great Eastern was lying in Bom-
bay Harbor, in February last; the Jumna
was there too, and the native boatmen made
it a .point of honor to r4w the strangers they
had contracted to take to the " big -ship "
alongside the latter. The Junwrba was an-
chored a few hundred yards from the pier,
the 'Great _Eastern at two miles distance, and
there had been, for. obvious reasons, a wilful
misunderstanding when the "big ship" was
mentioned and the bargain struck. ButH.M.
S. thlinihrt WaS "the big ship" by the side of
the 500 fine . -vessels waiting for freights at
Bombay, With the solitary exception of the
Great _Eastern, and on her passage through
the canal she must have resembled a float-
ing castle by reason of ha immense height,
her countless port -holes, and her tiers of
decks. We assurne her to have been light-
ened for the sake of convenience, and that
the hundreds of soldiers she housed upon
occasion, were absent for the time. But
the logical sequence of a troop ship going
through the canal empty is that it should go
through it ftkll, and thus open out a great
field of usefulness. The 'disembarkation at
Alexandria, and the railway journey to Suez,
combined with. the restrictions as to the
num ber of years which foreign soldiers should
remain in Egypt, have long been. a nuisance
to the officers and men making the overland
journey to India.
To be able to ship our troops in England
an land thena at Bombay without - inters
mediate stoppage, would be a saving to the
country, and a boon to all concerne71. The
arrival of the JIG9727ia at PortaSaid seems the
first sfep to its accomplishment. —London

Mr. Setter, of Red River, has published
the following letter :-:--I have this afternoon
herd from-afriend of mine, Mr. Frederick
A. Bird, of Portage Lapraide, and some
late news from there as to how people re-
ally bear the present yoke, which may be
interesting to you. He says that -the
French were up to portage some time be-
fore, and they sacked Dr. Shultz's brand
store of everything, including goods, prov.
sions, wheat, flour, furs, and money, and re
sisted his cleiks entreaties that at least a -
portion should be reserved for Mrs. Schultz's
use; but since we have given into the Pro-
visionalGovernment, aa.ys Mr. Bird, we must
keep, quiet. People are, as the ales) Indian
says, quiet, but it is a dead quiet that pre-
ceeds a storin. Insulted, abused, and not

HABITS OF LIMANUE'L KAT. --The great-
est philosopher of Germany, the illustrious
Kant, could not begin his philosophic medi-
tations without having first contemelated
, the ancient castleofKonigsberg, and drawn
his inspiration from the impressions .asf the
surrounding -country. Once, ilowever, he
decided upen absenting • himself upon a
journey of several months' duration, during
which his labours were necessarily inter-
rupted ; but what was his disappointment
on his return, to find that the beautiful pros-
pect which formed the charm of his Cabinet,
and constituted the secret of his learned me-
ditations no longer existed ! - A screen of
poplar treeerising from a ,e-arden in front,
ha.d developed themselves so well in that
short space *of time that they completely
closed out the view of Konigsberg Castle,
and the genius of Kant remained parialysed
- until the owner kindly conaented to out -the
tops off the poplars, and restore to Kant's
eyes the familiar spectacle of the owl -fre-
quented turreta. Like anany ogler philoso-
phers, details of his every day: life were
marked by peculiar habits. He could neith-
er study nor write in anybody's presence,
nor could he dine alone. One or more
guests were indispensible to grace his even-
ing board ; if any of hi a friends disappoint-
ed him by failing to keep their appointment
he, without hesitation, summoned strangers
from the street to ahare his hospitOitY, At
breakfast, his habit was quite the contrary,
as he preferred then to be alone, and conti- •
nued writing while taking his tea,. An in-
timate friend of his, ignorant of this pectin-
arity, dropped in upon him' at 'breakfast,
but, instead of the Aisual hearty. Welcome,
met with a cold although polite . reception,
had his tea sent into a seperate room heard
the key turn softly in the lock as Kant
made good his retreat.
Shocking Suicide in Puslinch.
On Saturday _aftertnoon last a woman
well known and respected, both in Puslinch
and Guelph, named Johannah Lyinch, 55
years of age, committed suicide by hanging.
She lived on a farm with her son, in the 9th
Con. of Puslinch. For sometime past, it
appears, her mind had been much affected
by family disputes regarding the division of
the farm property. She had been known on
several occasions to threaten suicide, but
the family had na real fear that she would
accomplish her threacs, though they invari-
ably kept a vigilant eye upon her move-
ments. On Saturday last deceased was at
vork with her SOD, Patrick Lynch, in one
f the fields up till about two o'clock, when
he suddenly. ceased and said she would go.
The young man observing nothing unusual
in her manner or appearance, said "Very
well,"- thinking she was going to tbe house,
and she replied, "Yes, she should go alto-
gether." This observation did not strike
Him as having eny particular significance,
but on returning home between six and
seven o'clock in the evening, Ise was horri-
fied to see the body of his mother suspended
by the neck from a pine stump, a short dies
tance from the house, and -quite dead.

and we may, therefore, now the more readi-
ly congratulate the shareholders on the ex-
pectations held out of their being a begin-
ning of prosperitity which it is the interest

THE "CITY OF BOSTON."—The piece of
paper found in a bottle, pretending to give
an account of the burning ofthe City of Bos-
ton. is doubtless a_ mere fiction. It is
founded upon the repOrt that there* was
some danger of fire, but its date is too late
for its statements to be reasonable. If the
City of Boston perished by fire, that accident
doubtless occurred somewhere within the
limit of time for an ordinary passage, and
not in thirty-five days from her departure.
The calculations which have been made by
competent maritime authorities, leave little
room for doubt that the unfortunate steam-
er never got further on her way to Liver-
pool than Sable Island. The probabilitseis
that she was the steamer seen by a small
vessel to be sending up rockets, and "turn-
ing to all points of the compass." She was
unmanageable and must have foundered in
the gale—all herboals having !probably been
swept away before the peril was seen to be
imtninent. The sympathies of the public
must necessarily be with the friends of ell
who were on board, as well as'with the own-
ers of the -Vessel, to whom no -blame can be
attached, and who have done everything in
their power to find any trace of as fine a
steamer as ever put out to Sea.
They tell a ridiculous story of a mishap
of a fat'man at tho recent burning of his
house at Springfield, Mass. The egress of
fatty through. the door was cut off by the
flames, and a window of narrower dimen-
sions than the man ° was the only way of es-
cape. He put his head out,- and into the
embrace of a friend, while another friend in-
side used a broom handle to keep him squir-
ming, by which means he worked himself
through.

Jim with a broom, they opened the door,
and, seeing nothing, began to descend. Not
until half way down did the vision appear,
when simultaneously both not only saw it,
but were sensible of its rapid approach.

explained. A large owl belonging to a

had been the death of Jim and his valiant

THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.—It is gra-
tifying to find that thbre is now every sign
of improvement in the prospects of the
Grand *Trunk Railway. There is now
greater confidence felt in the probability of
its paying ; proof of this being found in the
rate 4 which the equipment bonds are held
they being now at the premium of five to
.five and a half per' cent The steel rails
abut to be laid down will improve the
road considerably, and we understand that
as soon as these places, ballasting will be
proceeded with, so as to put the track in
thoroughly good condition, -and to enable
trains to be run at a higher rate of speed
than has hitherto been deemed advisible.
The dculties under which the line has la-
bored, springing from causes to which we
need not now refer, have, it is hoped, pass-
ed away, and the benefits to be derived from
a road traversing so great an extent of coun-
try will, we trust, be yearly increased. -We
