NARROW ESCAPE OF MIssIoNARY.-Rev.
John A. Butler. Of Boston, a missionary of
the American Board in South America, had
a narrow escape from a horrible death n few
ago. 1t appears that he attempted
to ford the river Umkomazi, on horseback,
and when about two.thlrds Of the way a.
cross, his horse suddenly kicked and plung-
ed, as II to dlsengage himself from his rider,
and the next moment a crocodile seized Mr..
Buffers thigh with his horrible jaws. Mr..
Butler, when he felt the sharp teeth ofthe
crocodile, chung to the name of his horse
with a death,holI. Instantly he was drag
ged from the saddle, and both he and the
horse were ioundering in the water, often
dragged entirely under, and going down the
stream. AT 6rst tho crocodile drew them TO
the middle Of the river; but at last the horse
gained shallow water and approached the
shore. ~ soon as he was within reach ma
tives ran to his assistance, and beat OF the
crocodile with spears and clubs.
Mr.. Butler was pierced with Eve deep
gashes, aud had lost much blood. He left
all'his garments, except his shirt and coat,
on the opposite shore with n native who was
to follow him; but whom tho struggle com.
menced, the native returned and burst not
venture into the water again. 1t was now
dark; aud, without garments, and weak from
loss Of blood, he had seven miles to ride,--
He borrowed a blanketo Of a native, andafte
two hours, succeeded in reaching the station
more dead than alive. His horse also wa
terribly mangled; a foot square of flesh an
skin was torn from his TANKS. For ten day
Mr.. Butler remained In a dangerous condi
tipn, being seized with fever and threatener
with lockiaw, but in April, when last hear
from, wus recover ing.

curing in the vicinity Of Charleston, grew
out Of some difficulty about q lady Of whom
the former is said to be engaged. Legar

shot his antagonist through the heart, his
pistol being within five or six feet of LIS

A False Aiarm.-On thorough investiga.

Secretary Of the Interiors recent visit to
New York had reference to alleged frauds
or malpractices ofthe head of some Govern.
ment bureau Ia this city,. andahs brother,
also a Government employee in Washing.

wholly without foundation. No such pub.

1t is equally untrue that frauds in the pur.
