A FEARFUL LEAP.-The Niagara Falls
Gazette says that on Saturday evening a
Mrs. Flynn, wife of laborer, jumped over
the bank of the Niagara river, just below
the Hydraulic Canal. She apparently
struck in the top of a tree after a descent
Of about one hundred feet, and fell from
there to the bottom. When she left home
she kissed her children, bid them good
by, and told them to inform Mr.. FLYNN
that he would see her no more. When
found she was sitting very composedly,
cogitating, doubtless, IN the uncertainty
Of human calculations, especially when
predicated on untired experiments. She
was considerably bruised and scratched
but not much more than frequently hap
pens in an ordinary shindy.
Four REMARKABLE MACHINES. assuming
to illustrate the principle of perpetual
motion, by mechanical procurement, are
now on exhibition at the American Mu-
scum. The most curious of the four is
composed of a series of brass balls revol-
wing on a glass plate, apparently their
own volition.
The DIFFEREN cE.-The entire debt of
the United States, and of all the States Of
the Union combined, is not equal to one
years interest on the debt of England /;
our intire debt, State and National, being
$3.50, oO0, 900 or its equivalent, f44, 600,
600, English currency small differ
ence. If a national debt be, as some
writer's contend, a bond of union, a ma
tional blessing-the British empire is
bound together by indissoluble bonds
and bonds, and blest to their hearts con-
tent.
EDMUND BURK.-The concord Demo
crat says that Mr.. Edmund Burke return
cd from Washington with the evidence
in his pocket, that he was henceforth to
be the Sir Oracle of Mr.. Buchanan, speak
ing though the columns of the Washington
Union. With this understanding Mr..
Burke went back to Washington. No
sooner does he arrive at the Capitol, than
it is announced that he is not to be the
editor of the Union, but that he is to sue
John Appleton for a breach of contract.
OF course, the public care nothing about
the suit. But it may interest some peo-
pie to know that Buchanan received a pro-
test against Burke's going into the Union,
signed by all the Pierce organs of New
England. That protest did the work.
The Withdrawal of so large an amount
of Iowa land from market, last season,
for the benefit of the railroads, had the
effect to check somewhat the tide of en-
igration to this State, and to turn it to-
wards Minnesota. The Gate City prop
erly thinks that the enormous grants to
railroads in Minnesota will have the eff
fect'to turn the tide back again. A just
conclusion. Evidence of the fact is al
ready presenting itself.

Mr.-and his little son Charley were
sitting the fire listening to the music ola
piano, upon which the child's mother
was playing. After she had concluded
it being the child's bed time, Charley
was told to say his prayers and go to bed.
AS was his custom, he kneeled down be-
side his mother, and with folded hands
and his head full of the music he had
heard, repeated the well known chid's
hymn:
