Ice at Niagara Falls.—A letter dated Niagara falls, June 30, says:  “About fifty feet below the American Falls, and immediately in front of Babbitt’s Daguerreotype rooms, there still remains a cake of ice weighing probably twenty-five tons.  During the last winter the mass of ice formed by the continued addition of spray is said to have been more than one hundred feet high indeed in a stereotype picture taken during the past winter this glacier seems to be nearly as high as the American Falls.
