NARROW ESCAPE AT NIAGARA
Thomas A. Logan, an estimable
young lawyer Of This city, son of the
comedian, had a narrow escape for
his lie afew days since at Niagara
Falls. A young lady, a stranger TO
him, had ventured too far out on a
projecting rock over the rapids above
the cataract; she became giddy, and
screamed for help. Young Logan,
who happened TO be standing on the
bank, few TO her rescue, and succee-
ded in getting her safely on shore, but
lost his own balance, and fell into the
boiling surge. The young lady fain-
ted, and the men on the bank were
too much paralvzed to offer assis
tance. Luckily for Logan, the wa
ter at the spot where he fell formed
a whirlpool, and carried him round
several times. In one Of his gyrations,
he seized a bush that overhung
the water, and succeeded in extrica-
ting himself from his perilous position.
Had he fallen a foot further out, be-
yond the edge of the whirlpool, no
human aid could have prevented him
from being carried over the frihtfulg

QUANTITY OF SEED WHEAT PER
AcRE.-Mr. r. B. Wolfe, near New
port, England. has tried many expert
ments with different quantities of seed
and different widths OF drills; the up
shot of the whole is that six pecks oI
wheat planted in drills eight inches
apart gave the best returns on strong
clay lands. We suspect that the be1-
~ OF this wheat is something like a
third larger than seeds Of whit e
wheat generally sown in this coun-
try, and consequently six pecks form
no more plants than four would o.
another grain. 1t is important that
seed be covered at a uniform depth
"a result best attained by Tire use
OF a good drill.-Genesee Farmer.

The young ladies sent out by Gov.

brief and truthful sentences to the
Wings OF GalIia and adjoining coun-
ties, taken from the Louisville ChrOn-
icle:-
How TO SUSTAIN WHIG PAPERS.
"The leading and influential Wings
of each county should take time and
trouble TO go around amongst the
people and urge and impress upon
them the duty of taking Wing pa
per. II they do not fully succeed
upon one trial in getting up a list,
they should try again and again un-
til they do succeed. This is the way
to do it. They should notputi it up
on the poor and uninfuenlial TO do
this.
"The leaders should do it. 1t is
their duty TO do it. When the re-
wards and honors Of party turn up.
they are the men 10 get them, and
they should be willing to share the
labors as well as the honors of sue
cess. If this was done honestly and

grow in proportion to the extension

While the army lay in the neighbor-
