THRILLING SCENE.-A most excilin.
scene recently occurred at the suspension
bridge below the falls If Niagara. As tw'
men were crossing, and about 300 yard.
from the Canada side, they heard a noise
like The falling ola heavy body over the pre-
cipice few yards above the bridge, and i'm
mediately observed little girl rushing pasr
several men to the lower side of the bridge
where she descended a sorl of ladder, made
by inserting pins into pole placed in an up
right position, from the top of the bank To d
.Oi OF recess under the cliff, distance of so
or 90 feet. From the point whore she de.
<cended the "A !der she made her way with
great rapidIiy beneath the overhanging cliffs.
aud over the foaming waters that iretted
wildly below, until she reached the point
from above which she started. There de
scending few Steps, she was seen attempt
ing to raise and carry an object, which the
gentlemen watching her movement became
convinced was a child, that had fallen over
The precipice. They hasrened TO the END
of the bridge, and sent down some men
who had not known OF the accident. The
child, little girl or s years of age, was
lashed TO the back of one of the men and
brought up, alive, although greatly injured
having one OF both of its legs broken, anc
one eye considerably bruised, but it will
probably recover That the child was no
finsianlly killed is truly astonishing, as il
must have fallen over 100 feet perpendicu
hrIy, without anything to impede its progress.
on the broken stones below. The little
girl, only eleven or twelve years old, who de
zcended the dizzy height into the fearful
chasm below, cannot be sufficiently admired
forh her GOODNESS and courage.
