DISTRESSING CAsuALTY.-AS a pleasure party

wednesday, severalof the party, among them
Miss Mary Ann Elliot, daughter Of :he Rev
John Elliot, were carried out into deep water

alarm that she was sinking and iurlored
them to save her. Her father Immediately
started for her assistance, but before reach
ing her was swept away by the current, and
persisted. lie rose once 10 the surface, threw
up his arms wildly in the AIR, and was seen
no more. Thomas Gibbons, who was aihan-
ccd to Miss Elliot, also went to her assis-
tancc, lie succeeded in reaching her, and
in holding her up for some time. Selling
upon a small piece of timber which he found
ahoat. he told her to grasp the suspcnders
of his bathing dress behind while he held on
to the wood. She did so, and thus they
started tor the shore. They had proceeded
hut a short distance shoreward, however, be-
fore she discovered that his strength was fail
ing. and she must either let so her hold
or both would probably perish together -
With more than wuman's devotion, she let
go though he begged her for Gods sake and
her own TO do otherwise. She disappeared
beneath the surface, while he was driited
towards point of the island where he found
a toothold, and was dragged ashore by means
of ropes. Miss Elliott was quite young, and
possessed of rare beauty and amiability of
disposition. Several others OF the party were
greatly imperiled but finally succeeded in
gaining the shore.

SCIENCE AND INyENrIoN.-l'he discovery Of
of the new method Of obtaining the hereto
fore rare and costly metal, aluminium. from
clay, by an easy and cheap process. is great
triumph Of science The honor of it bel ngs
to Saint Clair DeviIle Of Paris 1t is already
sold in France for 81 per POUND, and it is
thought it may he afforded for one-sixth of
that amount. Among the remarkable pro-
pcrtics of this metal are, its 'rilliancy, which
is like polished silver and ressts oxidation
either in the ore or by acids its hardness ;
its wonderful lightuess, it having only one
sixth the specific gravity of platinum its
malleability and sorority, emitting the finest
tones such as arc obtained only by the combi-
nation Of the best metals. The metal is
separated from common clay by the action of
sodium, which converts it into chloride of
sodium, from which the aluminium is depo-
sitcd by heat. The Paris academy of science
express great anticipations Of the advantage.
to be derived from this addition to the list o
