of the migration of young men, the females
are 15,000 in excess. At thirty this prepon

law of life appears identical in the countries
named, emigration in this °gantry being a.
little in excess. But at this point the par

pids has been observed, and that through it,
the river has found its way to the underly
ing shales and cut a subterranean passage.
Should the undermined ledge of the
horse-shoe give way, the Falls will perhaps
recede at one step a greater distance than
they have been borne baek by the wearing
of two or three-centuries. Sir Wm. Lyell
estimates the average recession in , recent
periods to have been about a foot a year.
It is certain that a considerable change in
the situation of .the Falls has taken place
since Father Hennepin rudely sketched his
view in 1678 • for in that sketch we have
exhibited a third fall, from the Canadian
side toward the east, across the line of the
nialh"fall, and caused by a great rock that
turned the divided current in this direction.
In 1750 this feature had alreadydi.sappesired
when Kalmythe Swedish natudialist, visited
the place. • -
probable that the rate lef recession,
sitioe'the waters of Niagara River first began
to cut out the gorge above Lewiston, has
varied greatly at different-periods, as the
forßation, of the _river . bed has varied.
F`rom the present site of the Fats, the strata
alf.hedesdribed gradeally rise bward Lake
Ontario to higher levels, till along the great
terrace, the capping is of the lower 20 feet
of the Niagara •limestone, below which the

Ayer's" Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchi-
Us, Asthma and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, has any
thing won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind,
as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a
long series of years, and among most of the races of men it has
risen higher and high , r in their estimation, as it.his become bet
ter known. Its uniform Character and power to coke the various
affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable
protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at"-the same time the most ffectnal re
medy that can be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a proviiik% against
sudden attacks of CROUP, it should be kepton band in every family,
and indeed as all are subject to colds and coughs, all be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled CON . SIITYPEION is thought incurable, still great
numbers of cases where the disease seemed settled. have been Aim
pletely cured, and the patient, restored to sound health by. the.
CHERRY PECTORALA .80 complete is its mastery over the discreet'
of the 'tongs and Thrciat, that the most obstinate of them yield th
