Projecting from the wall of a house overhanging the Lake of Thun, in Switzerland, may be seen the bow of a small rowing boat with the name Petronella painted upon it. The wife of the owner of the house was drowned from this boat while rowing on the lake. Her husband determined, hs a memorial to his wife, to build the boat into his house. The room destined to contain it, however, proved too short for the whole length of the boat, and the bow projects from the wall, juat beneath the balcony. The house is close by one of the steam boat piers, and the unaccountable appearance of this strange memori al excites much curiosity among the passengers on the steamers.— Strand Magazine. ct Tfewberg Jtuto Co.
