The Woman over the Falls.

Several reports were circulating about a wo-
man who was reported TO have gone over the
falls on Friday. Two men were crossing
Court street bridge at sbou, the time the body
was seen, and say that they saw woman get
upon the bridge aud jump into the stream.-
They were not near enough to prevent her.
Another story is that boy stood near enough
to hear her say 80 dear, don't like to, but |
must"--and then she jumped 10. Another
boy states that he saw the body pass under
Main street bridge. That both hands were I'D
and her face and bonnet visible. We are una
bic to vouch for asy Of these statements, or TO
learn who was the person drowned, il there
was any one.
From Information, there can be little doubt
mat one woman, al least, went over the falls
Our story about the woman getting flood wood
IS vouche d for, we understand, by persons at
Bronso lumber yard, who saw her drawn in
by The log she had caught with her pike pole.
Mr. Ezra Taylor says he saw a woman leap
nom Court street bridge. She was a young
looking woman, and passed him on the east
end Of the bridge, as he stood talking with an
other person. They supposed she had 20,
down upon the pier, but soon after a mau call
ed to them froin near where she jumped of, and
they saw hei going down the stream.
The womse first spoken of, 10 the last para
graph, lived in shauty on the island near the
Jail. She was German.
German who has missed his wife since
Thursday, was enquiring for her about the CT
~ on Saturday, as we are told.-[R Rochester

Gus mining districts, aud especially OF quartz
mining, that the Rocky Bar Company, ia Ne.

machinery that has yet been introduced, and

ihere are many other companies in the same

Yet he has been wandering through the coun-
try, claiming for himself the credit of having
saved the Union" and making speeches for the
Compromise, to catch votes for the Presidency
And while thus engaged, he has permitted that
active and formidable chief, Wild Cat, TO estab-
lish himself on the Texas frontier and to open
there a rendezvous and point dappui for runaway
negroes and hostile Indians. Seeing that he, if
not purposely, was at least negligently permit
ting fire to be lighted in that quarter, all the

It our duty to call on him and urge him to seize
the favorable opportunity to make treaty with
Mexico to break up this nest Of dangers, by pro-
wiling for the extradition of fugitive slaves, and
to relieve the United States from the onerous
burden imposed by the treaty of Guadalupe to sup
press, and indemnify Mexico for, Indian depreda-
tons and hostilities And how has he availed him
self Of our suggestions? Motto promote the general
welfare, or to avert the general evil but to pro-
mote private speculation by offering to compen-
safe Mexico for Indian depredations, on condition
that she will confirm Garays invalid and forfeited
grant. Now, Mr.. President, we respectfully claim
our right as American citizens, to protest against
this government availing itself of the necessities
of Mexico necessities which have been increased
and aggravated by our own conduct-to force
upon her any such bargain or condition We ask
if this does not vitality touch our honors-if the
consequences, at which we have but vaguely
limited, and which unfriendly relations with
Mexico may create on our own distant and
exposed Indian frontier, do not vitality con-
Germ our interests? Whatever claims Mexico
may have upon us for indemnity for our failure
to restrain the Indians, let us not couple the
compensation therefor with any condition dis
graceful to this government, and which, though
forced by her necessities now to accept, she will
keep ranking in her mind to be hereafter re-
sented. Let us treat her honorably, let us treat
her kindly, let us treat her generously and nobly
Let us not, in answer to her request that we
should not favor British usurers at her expense,
say that this is no concern of ours how far they
consume her substance or speculate on her dis
tress, though we by our own act have placed 1t in
their power to do so.

cumstances have made us attentive observers Of

recently thrust himself upon you, as the asso-
ciate of your hours Of recreation, and the COM

Against this power, Mr.. President we have to
contend for rights which we claim as American
citizens entitled to your protection. With the
best of our feeble ability we have endeavored to
make known to you what those rights are, and to

you should cherish that wish. In this particular
