beaten. like that 0a which L sentinel performs his tour ofduty. Between Iris Island aud Moss Isle, there is embower- cd in seciusion and shade, one of the most charming waterfalls or cascades imaginable. This was his favorite re- treat for bathing. Hereshe resorted at all seasons Of the year. In4he eoldest weather, even when snow was on the ground and ice in the river, he contin- ued to bathe in the Niagara.
 Atthe lower extremity ofthe Island is bridge leading te what IS called the Terripin Rocks; from this bridge extends single piece of timber some twelve or fifteen feet over the preci- piee. On this bridge 1t was his daily practice to walk; with quick step lie would pass the bridge, advance on the timber to the extreme point, turn quick Iy on his heel and walk back; and con- tinued thus to walk for hours together. Sometimes he would let himself down at the end of the timber, and hang un- der 1t hy his hands and feet, over the ter rife preeipice for fifteen minutes at q time. To tiie enquiry why he would thus expose himself, he would reply, that in crossing the ocean he had ire qaently seen the sea-boy perform far more perilous acts, and as he should probably pass the sea again himself, he wished to inure himseif to such dan- gers. 1.-the nervesof others were distur- bed his were not. In the widest hours of the night he was often found walking alone and nnieariag in the most danger ous places near the Falls. and at such times he would sbun approach as if he had dread of man. He had a sti- pend allowed him of about S q week, He always attended to the state of his accounts very carefully; Bas economi- cal ill the expenditure of money for his own immediate use; and was generous in paying for all favors and services, never receiving any thing without ma king immediate payment. He had a deep and abiding sense of religious du- y and decorum; was mild in bis be- ilayiour, and inoifensiye in his conduct. Religion was subject he well under. stood and highly appreciated. The charity he asked from others, he exteH- dcd 10 all mankind.
 What, will it be asked, could have broken up and destroyed such mind as Francis Abbot's? What could have driven him from the society he was so we'll qualified to adorn--and what transformed him, noble in person and intellect. into anisolatedanehorite, shHn- ming the association ofhis fellow men?- Tie history of his misiortunes is not known, and the cause of This unIiappiness and seelusion, will. undoubtedly to us, be ever mystery. He was about twen- ty-eight years of age at the time of his death. He was perfectly infatuated with the scenery of the Falls, and ex- pressed himself in cxtacies with the TO- mantle retreats of Iris Island.

 In the afternoon Of the 18th June, 1929, tall, we'll built and handsome man. dressed in a loose gown or cloak. of q chocolate color, was seen passing through the principal street of the vil- Iage of Niagara Falls, on the American side.
