r\ THE RUE AND FALL or ora LAXZS.—It seems difficult to accrtint for the fluctustion of water in our Lakes. Some have attributed it to heavy rains. and 'Others to the melting of an unusual quantity of snow at the North. No satiafactory explanation of it we suppose can ever be given Many have beee alarmea by ihe present low stage of water, but tt haa twice aa low at former periods. It iis now higher twenty-two inches than it was in IWO- *.n *,

I ha lowest mark, ao far aa known, waa stumed.ii then being six feet and one-fifth lower than it had been in orevfous year*. It iissirf that should the water conitone to (all so aato reach ihe mark ol 1880, it would leave the canal bctwen Buffalo and Black Rock entirely empty, aa by recent meaaurement only one foot ana ten incee of it were found near the quay two miles east of the former place. In thia event, we too would be

lao din a bad predicament unless the bar in our barshould be removed. That, however, we presume could be done at a comparatively alight expense-GA*-cqgo American.

ADAMS AND WELMNOTOJI.—'Two of the uiost remarkable men now living (ssys the Salem Register) arethe Dke of Wellington, and John Quincv Adams. I nor /sphere ol grateness and their carcer have been widely different, out in ths union of

self-denying

though not too

common virtues, of industry, punctuality, faiihlulness, and

effort, their prsciiee is identical. The

following paragraph front the London Chronicle illus* nates a trait or two in Wellington's chaiacter: "The Duke of Wtllington is alwaya to be found in his seat from the opening of the Hovre, and if at the commencement of each sitting there ahould be no other peer present to hear prayers, he at learat, is sure tu ba there. Though it is painfully evicertt ihat bis iron frame begins to :ott|r. and his mind is no longer equal to the conduct of grave and important affairs.still the ecrupulotis exactness of his habits, his sedulous attention, and liia manifest anxiety, combined with Ins blunt straight lor wnrdness, make him—apar'. from his character as the Duko-nota little remarkable in the House of Lords

This is an increase of about 5,000,000 within the last three years, Thcae are worth at a fair calculation, $70,000,000. About one fifth of all these are found in the State of New York.

The annual crop of wol is estimated at 90,000,000 lbs. and worth nearly $40,000,OtH). FISII.-SNAKE STORY.

There is something exciting as well ns refreshing in tha following story of fish nnd snakes: '•A msn fishing in one of tho ponds in a neighboring county, this pa»t summer, waded out some distance in the pond in order to throw his hook further into the water. lie noticed here and there a water snake about him, but, as they were common to the pond he thought nothing of it. As ho hooked fish after fish, however, and hung them upon /itring over his shoulder, he noticed that the snakes about him increased in n'imber and boldnes, and commenced swimming about him in rather close proximity to his legs. They seemed to be eyeing the fish at bis bock with very esger looks. At length they began to rub against his legs, and the number in sight was mgreat that he began to feel uneasy. One attempted to climb his legs, which familiarity he was by no means inclined to submit to. lie pulled the snake off, threw Itim to a distance, and be-

make for theshore. Instantly snaka* appeared every tuft of weeds, clump of lilies, and pile of brush about him. They swam about him by scorcs, and commenced climbing his legs and winding about his body. The poor mail was in agony as fast as he pulled one snake off another wonna about him, and their efforts were so great that he could scarcely make any way towarda the shore. At length, however, he took out his knife, and began cuttng the snakea in pieoesoa they climbed his legs and body, and after in thia manner, severing a doxen or so of the reptiles, he reached the shore. It was a terrible adventure, hot perhaps tho man was well paid for it, for he had a good atory to tell lor the rest of his life."

Water snakes live much upon the carcasses of dead fish, and these were probably attracted to the stmt by the smell of the fish at the man's back, and all thoir efforts were to reach the fiah, and not to injure the man Very likely the poor creatures thought he was

stump.

Water snakes are harmless reptiles [GrttnfirM (Afsse.) Gazrltf.

DEATH IN T»T Pw.MT.~On Sunday last the Rev. Frederick Tuckerman, of Poughkeepsie. while engaged in preaching to a oongrefation at Manchester, Pa. fell down in the pulpit, and immediately expired. He bad complained in the morning of feeling unwell, and stated to hia hearers that he did not know that he ahould be able to apeak long, for he felt strangely, ftion after taking hia text and opening hia discourse he fainted, and almost immediately breathed his laat. Hia disease waa probably one of the heart. Mr. T. waa formerly a preacher among tha Methodists, but for several yeara haa been connected with the Presbyterian denomination. He served his heavenly master with teal and fidelity through along a uaeful life, and haa been summoned to hia reward at the age of 70 yeara. r.rii if.i.

Magasine in the Union-

I be Maganbe has become a standard of taste \n ynati«s of embellishment, and has led the way in eve-

imoua in iheannouaoement, tliat no wbrk evertaaTted in tho Country li«s been so elegantl): .ea^li^ad, or has so rapidly ie:vessed. For the new vdklihe tbe most extensive arrangement have been made wHll tftft most diatinguislied artists in ihe country^ for,-a supply of elegant embellishments ol all sorts.

Oitr beautiful Menotint EHgrtn^ngwfi^ ft affbrds us much satisfaction lo bs able to tiutej that we hate made arrangements with Mr. Ssrtain, the accStnnlisbed mezzotint engraver, whose plates haveaorttributed so much to the beauty of the magazine heretofore, by which we secure his splendid mezzotints for this work alone. No other magazine of this kind can have them without permission from us-

Thia we take to be a good move, and although the pruference is purchased by us at very heavy expence, we are confident that nothing can be got up to equa( them in beauty, or to compete with thum in popular!* ty. The engagement is permanent and is confined to magazine work alone. j9i*lWi,,ion

'hess, we have secured the burin of

talented mmotint engraver, H. S, Sadd, Esq. offtewYc-*- *L" York, thst there may be no disappointment aa ese will' ... ars able pfotutoea iWaxoiint in every number.

iay

quaittica. to nun»&er or regularity, Tncse will be eqiial to any

bave been made in the published, so thai ws ars able confidently to

I I it

I'htse beautiful engravings will therefore form a feature of Graham's Mag^sino, in every number, so that we shall benble to aistance any thins like competition on this ground. These plates are tne most ex* pensive that can be got lip for a magazine of large circulation, in consrquence of the great price of printing being more than double that ofline engravings—ana the necessity of re-duplicating ths plates, oar edition slrcady rendering it necesaary that two or three platea of the same aubjt-ct must be prepared for every nam* ber in which ihey are used. We now print an edition greater than that of any contemporay for ths last yesr and confidently assert that at tha some rate of incrasse we shall issue in 1042, an edition of not lew than 35,000 copies monthly, and ahall soon have an edition unequalled in magazine publishing.

Our Splendid Steel Engraving*.—We have also en. tered into a distinct and permanent arrangement with Rawdon. Wricht, Hatch and Smillie, and with A I* Dick, Esq., of New York, for a series of splendid En* gravings, to be got out in a style unsurpassed by any that have ever beep done in t(iis country. The wide apread fame of thrae artists is a sufficient guarantee of tne character of the work ws shall receive from iheir hands. So that with such an organisation we may aafely defy cortiMtition in the way of embelliahments, Show the worla a pattern for otnera to follow in ths way of liberal and judicious expenditure, and fix a new era in the history of magazine publishing in this country,

Elegantly Embn*ted Work.—An sgreement has also been madewith that uiaritoriouaond accomplished artist, F. Qttarre, Esq., for a fall aupply of Embroidery, Lace Work, Birda, Fiowera and landscapes, coloured in the most finished and elegant atyle. This will form an extensive but popular and attractive feature in ths work, and with the variety which will be thus intro dnced,will always be novel and pleaaing.

Richly Coloured Fathion*—In compliance with the almost unanimous wish of our lady subscribers, we shall farniah them witha beautiful and correct plateof Fashions, and shall alao give the style, for gentlemen which has been decidedly popular with both sexes, and has rendered the work ihe text bvok ef fashion the Union over.

Great increase of Reading Matter.—The reputation of the magazine, thus far, would be a sufficient guarantee for the future, but that it may beaeen that nothing has been left undone to maintain every depsrtnient of the work, and to elevate ihe literary, as well as the

ictoral department, we beg leave toannouncethat we not only engaged a host of talented and elegant American writers, but that the amount of resuing matter will be greatly increased, so ns lo make it at least one-fourth, and possibly one-third more than any of the other three dollar magazines, and about the same amount as the five dollar magnzincs usually present.

The proprietor begs leave, therefore, to call attentjon to the fact, that his work will present the atlrac* tion of both —s grave variety of literanr matter, and a number of elegant embellishments—-while he will continue the present number of Engravings in overy number. His efforts shslf be to carve out a path for himself, and he will be behind none in in theattraetionsof ol hia Magazine, whether in regard to the number or beauty of engravings, or the amount and varioty of Literary matter. His is emphatically a Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine po«Hsstug much to interest both sexes, bat exclusively devoted to neither. The tone of the Literature of this Magazine is rather mors masculine, not to say elevated, than that of the three dollar magazines generally, and the writers secured for the next year wtll enable him to present an amoum and variety of sterling literary matter equal to tho five dollar Magazinea of tbe day.

The List of Contributors.—In addition to the old contributors, whose names and srticles have given high celebrity io ths Magazine, a number of new ones, it will be perceived, are added, of worth and note, so that we may fairly say that ws have the strength of Amsrican talent enlisted in the work.

^^"addition to thia brilliant array of names known to feme, tbe distinguished services of a host of soonymous writers of no ordinary abilities, will give worth and character to ths pages of the Magazine.
