RENARKABLE Rock One of the most re-
markable rocks Of which we have any know
ledge, has been lately discovered in the middle
of that great inland sea, Lake Superior By a
gentleman who has recently returned to this city
from Copper Harbor, We learn that shaft Of
Trappe cock has very lately been discovered,
rleing in the lake from $50 to 200 miles from
land, and ascending above the surface of the
water distance of not above four feet. What
renders it more extraordinary is, that it stands
alone, and all around it, so far as examinations
have been made, no bottom has been reached
by any Of the lead lines used Oh the lake, and the
point of the rock it.elf does not exceed an area
of more than six or seven feet square, and so far
as observations of II have extended, it does not
appear to enlarge In size as it descends. It has
already, he states, bscome source of alarm
to the mariners who navigate the lake, who take
special care In passing, To give it as wide berth
as possible. 1t is too small--too remote and dan-
gerous to admit of light, and therefore its re-
moval has become matter of senous impcr-
tance, and will doubtless pertain to the duty of
sufficient depth would probably do it, but the
surface of the rock being go near that of the
water, and the space narrow as to forbid any
regular lodgment for workmen. they would have
to be attended constantly by vessel of sufficient
size to resist any sudden storm that might a,ise
the lake and would also have to be kept constant
ly under way, as no harbor or even bottom Is
within days sail.


TIE discoverers relate that the rock appears to
be place of general resort for the Salmon Trout
of thoee lakes, as thew found them there in al.
most incalc~lable numbers. having during their
short stay, caught several barrels with no other
Instrument than rod of iron, on one end oi
which they turned hook. The tried with all
their lines OH board for sounding immediately
around the rock. bur without success Snch
vast culumn, could 1t be exposed to view, would
laugh to rdlcuie Cleopatras's \ eedie, Ponpey's
riar and the Colossus OF Rhodes, or any pro-
duction of ancient o. modern art.
