 NIAGARA FALLS CRuMBLIyG -On Sun. day afternoon a portion of the pfecipice near the Tower, on the south side of Goa Island. fell with mighty crash This DOT. ton extended from the edge of the Island towards the Tower. being about 125 feel long and about 60 feet W wide, of somewha eliptical shape, and reaching from the tor to near the bottom of the fall. The mex day another piece, triangular. with base of about 40 feet broke off just below the Tower. But the next great performance was the most remarkable. Between the two portions that had previously fallen stood a rectangular projection. about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide, extending from top to bot tom of the precipice. This immense mass became loosened from the main body oi rock, and settled pc rpendicularly about eight feet. where it now stands an enormous col umn 200 feet high, by the dimensions na mod above. It is most probable that thii column will also fall when the weather bO comes warmer. The severity of the win ter and the long continuance of the intense cold, have produced these results.

WILLIAM WIRr.-The following. in regard to the early history of Wm. Wirt is interesting. but whether it is reliable. we are unable b say. It is from the New York Picayune:
 In the early career of Mir. Wirt he was addicted to incorporate habits, and was. as every friend supposed, very hopeless, irreolaimable man. He was abandoned by almost every friend. and was SO reduced that hia presence was objectionable in the meanest establish. ments where rum was sold. Ga cer- tain occasion he had become so grossly intoxicated that he fell upon the Aoar 0i rum hole. iassnsible. The proprietor very coolly dragged him out of che place and laid him at full length on the edge ef the sidewalk.
 It was in the city of Richmond, Va. The day was excessively war n. and the rays of the sun fell exactly upon the ines hrlate, who was otaly unconcious of his situatiOn, A young lady was pas- sing the spot. and on noticing the expo sed features of Mir. Wirt. stopped, spread her handkerchief yer his face, and pass sed on. When Mr. WIrt became pa tial- ly sensible of his situation, few hours afterward. he discovered the handker~ chef. and the initials upon it made him aware to whom it belonged, That kind act made reformed man, for he found that thele was one living being that was interested in his fate. In after years when Mir. Wirt had risen to an eminent position and was candidate for the President of the United States. we met him and his gifted lady-(lhe identi!al young woman who managed the hand kerchief business when Mir. Wirt was in the }" grog" trlde)-and sine never re- gretted her choice. and Mr. Wirt never drank more. Nat

the Hudson, which in ths little that is Jeff of Connecticut, spreads itself ont into the magnificent slopes of Sharon, sud the bonu- Iiful VallSyS, that with the clear and grace, ful lakes, giVs, such charm to the uusur- passed scenery of Salisbury. South and westward of sharon lies valley of the same formation, if possible of still I0velier as Pect, which once belonged to Lilch6eld county, but was bLrtsred away 10 New York by bargain in which the Dutch for once was too sharp for the Yankees. To give still greater importance to the valley of the HousGtOnic, it's vicinity abOunds with the finest iron ore in America, while the precipitous and otherwise worthless noun. tains that bound the valley on either side, and the proud sea of mountain tops called lhs Taeonick range, have furnished for generations the fuel to reduce the ore.
 The reader of this sketch of what nature has done for Lilchfsld county, will readi- ly believe us when we add that it's scenery is various and interesting. The traveller or resident who has cIimed the hills and threaded the valleys who has been re- trsshed by the breezes on the heights and gazed at their evervarying outline from the valleys: who as ascenled tile m ountains , and sought out the landscapes ever varying who has admired the lakes and been de- lighted by the waterfalls, which are so numerous aud yet so unlike each other, will agree with the opinion which we express that thorough exploration of this portion of Connecticut will repay the most tastidious tourist, and will be likely to be followed by second visit. The pe- cuIiarilesO Of soil, of situation, of climate and of resources which we have noticed. have exerted marked influence upon the popu. . 'lation. IL IS not commIn to speak with freedom of the peculiarities of our neigh, bors and fellow citizens. We presume, however, no offence will be taken al our friendly observations. even if ,l1ey are free
 The severe ciitnais and the uagsnial and rocky soil have gwen vigorous frames and rudiy hue to the inhabitants. The stern blass of winter aud the neyer-ceasing ! Dreezes of summet have left their mark up. Sn almost every man and women, The :. effort required to wrest subsistence from the soil has toughened the flores of their muscles, and hardened their bones. There are few large villages in the county, fiom the very necessities of dairy-larming the farms are larger than in the more fertile sections of the State, and the dwellings are farther asunder; to say nothing of the influence of steep hill sides. of extensive marshes, and large inleravals of rock and mountain in separating st,ll more widely the farm houses. As the consequence of the sturdier character and the isolation of the people, personal independence and self reliance are their prominent characteris.

 The entire efficiency of decoclion of to- baccO in preserving elm. lipden and other shade trees from the ravages of worms. has been most satisfactorily established by re- peated experiments. This specific we learn has been tried in Washington by the Com, missioner of Public Buildings on the elms in front of the Capitol steps. and by the keeper of the grounds at the War and Navy DepartMents on both elm and linden trees and in each case was attended with the most perfect success. The decoctiOn is de, struetive both to the bug winch feeds on the trees and 10 the eggs which it deposits on the other side of ihe leaf. The prOPertime for the application is as soon as the leavS are well developed, at which time the pres. escc ofihe bug may bs eaSly perceived. The cost of the decoctiOn is inconsiderable.
