the people, that Mr.. Rice's packed '.Conven-
tion"--the controlling crowd there assembled
was disgrace to the name of a deliberative
Conventnn--refused to endorse the National

A TUNNEL UNDER NIAsARA.-The Buffalo De-

The roof of the tunnel need not be more than
of the tunnel from the rails to the roof would

that he drank sixty glasses of lager beer in
twelve hours In reference to which, cores
