A RoNaNTic lscIDENT.--A French newspaper,
published q. Lyons relates the following romantic
anecdotes:
A few nights ago. wien the wind blew with
great violence at Lyons, a gentleman who was
walking off the wharves. wrapped in
large cloak. and phliosophca!ly smoking a cigar,
heard at li,tlo distance piercing crv. and the
noise of heavy body falling into tho Rhone. |,
was in the dead of night. The swollen river
roarcd with fury. The night was dark, and Tho
wharf dcsolatcd. Without a thought of danger.
and only following tho impulse of generous
heart, he threw himself into the waves. He
struggled for long iimo against fearful pors.
and finally regained the shore, after no had becn
carried somu .wo or three hundred feet by tho
strength of the current. He deposited on tho
shore the body of woman. Tho briancv of
tho gas light enabled him to observe the extreme
palIor of the countenancc. tho disorder Of her
clothing, and her youth. elegance, and beauty.
As wo have already said. II was midni ght-uo
assistance a, hand-and where should he con-
vcy her at this hour? To whom Should be coz
ido a burden which had already become SO pro-
cous2 But he must decide immcdately--and
concluded to transport her 10 his lodgings,
which were not far of. Tho fire, which two
hours before had gowcd before convivial party,
burned brightly still. His scruples of doicncy
ut such moment wero overcome, and by proper
assistance sho was recovered from her swoon.
Tho next day the pale features of this young
lady slightly lngcd wiki the Sho
related TO her delvcrcr that she had stepped from
her carriage in search Of a friend, who lived near
ono of the quays, and whilo passing along tho
rivers bank her foot had unfortunately slipped,
and she had fallen into tho river. a forinigh.
afterwards. tho newspapers announced the mar
riago of NJ Edouard. of tho editors Of tho
LA Rhone,' with Madame Adela Derigny, a
Young widow Of Frankfort, whose fortune was
estimated at a million sterling!

Or THE TRUE SOURCE OF NIETUE.-AH our first

reasoning is always moro favorable to matter

Be not surprised if the progress of intellect is
SO often useless for virtue; nothing is moro oasilv

In the domain of tho intellect all is individual;

Volunteers for EHexlco.

II viii be remembered that Congress
authorized the calling out of $4,000 vol
unteers to be employed against Mexico,
should the Executive deem it expedient,
and that Pennsylvania's quota Of that
force was fixed at six regiments. In the
early part Of the Summer number oi
Volunteer companies from this State ten,
dercd their services, but owing to strong
turn out from the Western and South
western States they were not dian accept
ed. We learn, however, that requisi-
ton has been made upon Gov. Skunk
within the past week, for the whole OF
this States quota of men, we suppose
for the purpose of reinforcing Gen. Tay-
lor's Army at Monterey, and the proba-
hiIity therefore is, that our gallant volun-
teers win ere long find opportunities to

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CORN.

Corn, the seed of which was brought
by Lieut.. Fremont from the Rocky Noun
iains, is growing in Albany. Each ker-
mel is enveloped in husk.
The above paragraph, the PhiIaielPhia

Of the press. In some places i: is called
Rice Corn, both names covering one va
riety. The same description Of corn has
been cultivated all through the West and
Soulh these fifteen wears; and positive
nuisance for all ordinary purposes it is,

the contrary.

We have the pleasure of announcing
to our readers one Of the greatest political
victories ever achieved by any party in
Pennsylvania. The Wings have swept
the State from the centre 10 the circum-
ference. They have elected their candi-
date for Canal Commissioner, II out of
81 Members OF Congress and majority
Of l6 TO the Assembly, and have Is out
of the 33 Members of the State Senate.
Pennsylvania stands by the Tariff Of
1912, as the sheet-anchor of her pros
perity. Though cut off by base and
treacherous hands, it is destined 10 be
restored again at day not distant. Her
people have spoken in voice audible as
thunder, and her betrayers may take war
ming from it and prepare for the coming
storm, in other States of the Union.

Speaker eT fRae House OF Repre-
RQsefaffyRs.

| BfmkatktcSs
AS the choice of this officer is not on
" of great importance to the entire Lee
gslation OF the session, but singularly so
in the selection OF Committees OF the
House and in all the bearings of conscr-
vatiye legislation, we would earnestly
recommend the election of Col. Edie of
Somerset. Mr.. e. is a man of talents
siaunch Whig, and in all respects sdmi-
rably qualified for the Chair. We there
fore most cheerfully recommend him for
the station, and trust that the Wings and
Antimasons of the State together, will
cordially unite with us in placing him in
the Chair.
eEWe cordially concur in the fore
going recommendation of the American.
Col. EDIE is a man of ''the right stripe"
and would make an excellent presiding
officer. The "Frosty Sons of Thunder. !"
moreover, are entitled 10 some little dis
tinction for their perseyering efforts in be-
half Of the ascendancv of Wing princi-
Piles, and We trust il will be conferred up
on them by eleciing their Representative
to the Speakership of the House.

New Copper Discovery at Miner

Extract of a letter. dated Mineral
Point, Sept. 25th, 1916" A very splen-
did show of copper has just been opened
here. 1t is regular sheet, running north
west and southwest, going down into the
water, and the ore is believed by men
competent to judge, to contain 45 or so
per cent. Of copper. 1t will not, how
ever, be worked at present, because smell
ters will not give what t!ie ore is worth.
About ton of this rich ore will be ship
ped to Boston forthwith. At the diggings
Of Mr.. Woodman and Mr.. Hubbard, there
is large quantity of ore now in sight,
and il is estimated by miners, that the
ground now broken will turn out from
300 to 500 tons of ore.
