A triangle was then raised on the lard to ele-

strong iron ring passed through the hawser,

Fallardeau, who could not hear anything

TO tie himself under the arms and around the

the ring, then catching hold Of the latter with
his hand, and doubling his body so that his
feet touched his arms, he swung himself rom
the timber over the torrent Two hundred
brave fellows at this moment pulled with a

scene Women and children in the highest
state of excitement were on their knees, but
their cries were drowned in the cheerful ''Ho !

crossing the bridge at tho time, stopped, and,
rising in his carriage, with uncovered head,
his gray locks floating in the wind, repeated
the prayers for the dying 56' e-.b -
A loud and agonizing cry suddenly arose,
The triangle on the shore had given way, and
Fallardean was precipitated into the torrent

raised, and he stood on the main land, rescued
from what had seemed an inevitable doom. To

( eY- George Law is spoken Of as candi-
date for the next Presidency. Several men,
bers Of the Pennsylvania Legislature have ad-
dressed a letter to him on the subject, to
which he has replied at some length, which
can be found in another column of our paper
of to-day. He expresses much sympathy with
the great Native American movement. His sa-
gacity teaches him which way the tide is run
ming, and he hopes to seize time by the fore
lock-to mount the young giant, and ride into
the highest position Of honor and trust known
to the world. George Law, elected to the
Presidency, our country would become one
immense stock jobbing machine to swindle the
nations around u.s. With such man at the
head of affairs, our neutral policy would be
scattered to the winds; We would be prccipi-
tated head and cars into wars with every ma
ton on the face of the earth, and no man can
imagine the end thereof We will have no
George Law to reign over us. If it was the
business of our country to trade in muskets
and to speculate generally Mr.. Law would be
hevery man. But the condition and. wants
of the United States at this particular juncture
calls for man of decidedly different mould
from George Law. "-

TO his tomahawk, and after tremendous struI
gle, finally auccesded in destroying the md
ster.

his shot had taken eifecct in the nose wbd
only served to infuriate it. Upon examinin
