MAN IN THE RAPIDS OF Observation-Disclosures
EscAPE.-Mr. Thomas j. Taylor, of West Green
field, Herkimer county, N. Y, who had been to
Illinois, and was on his return home, stopped at
this place to wait for friend whom he expected,
and while here he went down the steps at Whit
mer's Mills, adjoining the Bridge, to view the
river, and while there sat upon a large rock and
took out his wallet to examine his papers and mo-
ney, and after a short time he became dizzy and
fell into the river He states that for the ten
rods he was under the water, and was thrown
against large rocks which were under the Bridge.
When he passed the Bridge, gentleman saw him
and gave the alarm. He went down the rapids
about two hundred rods, when he was drawn by
the current towards and upon the rocks, to which
he clung and got from the water. Our village
was aroused in moment as it were, and the rope
ladders belonging to the Bridge Company we're
brought out and on the spot at once, and let over
the bank some 260 feet, when Millard b. Coburn
went down and got the ladder over the lower
ledge. Then, German, name unknown, went
down to Taylor, who was almost exhausted with
cold. After about half an hour, Taylor began
to ascend the ladder. He was some time in GET
ting up. He is man of about go years of age.
He was greeted upon his arrival on the bank by a
general shout of welcome, and was taken to the
La Deu House, where by the kindness of the
worthy host, John N. La Deu, he was provided
with a change Of clothing. He is now smart and
we'll, and says it was rather hard road to travel,
and be would rather be excused from a second
trip. We have named the rock upon which he
got out, sTaylor's Rock,' as he was the first man
who ever went there by that route"

night in a country theatre, in favorite part, and
being interrupted from time to time by the squal-

out not u little angry at the rival performance.
Walking with solemn step to the front of the
stage and addressing the audience in his most ira

Columbus and DIR. Kane.

The Rev. E. H. Chaplin, lately delivered q lec-
ture at Albany, in which he made the following
allusion to Columbus his burial place, and the
late DR.. Kane. We copy from the Albany Eve
ming transcripts report. 0Hl
Columbus possessed a restless spirit, ever seek
ing new objects on which it might fasten itself,
and even in death, his bones have not been per-
mitted to rest. They were inferred first in Spain
then in San Domingo, then in Cuba, and as he
now lies, the steamer which cleaves the waters of
the bay may shake the rude covering of his long
last home. How fitting that the bones of the
first great discoverer should be buried in the
island from which have gone out the remnants of
another great navigatOr-0ne, who measured by
his accomplices was proved uot too young to die.
Rise up, eternal barriers of Greenland ice, the
architecture of six thousand years, to bar the
trance to the pole. Shut in the huge secrets of
ages, and lock them fast in your icy embrace.
Ye are the undying monu.
| ments which tower to the memery of q brave man
| and philanthropist gone to his reward. Ye are
the mementoes of great and mighty spirit, cut
| off in its early burst, and withered when it mad
but begun to bloom. Hang over them, bright
curtains of Northern Light, for he who traced the
path of discovery among their icy Businesses has
| loved Or. Kane, was the island on which lay
mouldering the bones of the other great naviga-
tor whe first gave America to the world.
| THE BENEFIT OF NoToRIETY.-Rev. Mr.. Kali
loch, as we learn from the Boston papers, re-
sumed his clerical functions on Sunday last, and
was favored with the most crowded house in that
city of church-goers. For a long time to come
\ he will be one of the Sunday attractions Of Bos-
ton, and people will strive to hear him preach,
merely because he had the misfortune to be tried
for gross moral offence. Such is the curiosity
of the world to see anything or anybody that has
made noise. MIR. Kalloch will, Of course, inn
prove his opportunities, and turn his ill-fOrtune
| to a good account by preaching in his best vein
to the crowds that throng the sanctuary in which
he holds forth, so that those who come to look
may haply be induced to remain to pray.-M. Y.
