The only way lie could account for it was a surmise that mischievous boys had "shutdown the irate," but an examination proved that the water was pouring upon the wheel as usual, and the difficulty proved to he a mammoth eel fastened by its bead in the wheel. The " monster of the deep" was too large to pass through, and had stopped the motion of the wheel. The fish was removed and work proceeded.
