cents for a 50 note The bills were

THRILLING SCBNE.-Mr. c. J. Thomas, of
Niagara Falls. was crossing alone in a small
boat from Navy Island to Schlosser, last
Thursday, when the terrific storm arose, and
the boat was capszed. For upward of an
hour he was driven about by the furious gusts
of wind, clinging to the boat. Several times
he succeeded in righting the craft, and as of
ten wonld it capsize and though good
swimmer, he had given himself mp for lost,
when he at length succeeded in cambering
into the boat, without oars, and so thoroughly
chilled as to be almost unable to help him
self. The boat was filled with water and was
driven past the head of Navy Island into the
rapid current, which swiftly bore him to-
ward the rapids and the cataract But, for
tunately, lie was seen by Mr.. Tompkins and
another man on the island, who, taking a
boat, fastened to rescue him. They reach
ed him, but the wind and sea were so high
that it was impossible to take him into their
boat, so they towed the boat into Chippewa
creek, on the Canada side. Mr.. Thomas
would have certainly gone over the Falls had
he not been thus timely rescued His situa-
ton during the storm was terrible in the ex.
IRENE, the rain and sleet being apparently
carried over him in sheets. His own pluck
and endurance were remarkable under the
circumstances. Buffalo Commercial Aduer-
ttser, of Wednesday.

FIRE AT NEW WoRcEsTER.-A little before
ten o'clock, yesterday morning, the brick factory
Of Albert Curtis, at New Worcester, took fire
from friction of the picker, which was located in
room in the lower story of the building. An
elevator passed from the room to the upper story,
and it SO happened that it was in use at the mo.
rnent the fire took, SO that the passage way was
open. The flames consequently assembled at once
and spread through the upper story, almost be-
fore the alarm could be given. There a force
pump connected with the mill, and another with
the Messrs. Coes's establishment in the immedi-
ate neighborhocd, both of which were put in re-
QUESTION, and did good service. The FIRE depart
ment, too, was the ground, and the FIRE
was subdued, not, however, till one side of the
roof was burned off and the machinery in the
upper story and picker room rendered nearly
worthless. The machinery in the other rooms,
and the stock and goods, received great damage
by the thorough drenching they received, and the
whole loss is estimated at about Sl2, 900. It was
insured for $4,000 in Hartford and Providence
Offices
