Adam ConlstoCk.

Adam COmstOck was an officer in the CONT
mental army. in the revolutionary war. Formed
by nature, in body and mind, for soldier. and
glowing with the enthusiasm of liberty he early
entered the field on the side of the colonies in
the revolutionary conflict. Enjoying the conf
dence of the Illustrious Washington, he was soon
promoted, under his auspices, to colonelcy in
the continental line of the army,
At the signal victory of Red Bank. he was
the officer Of the day." and alternately com
handed with General Samuel Smith, of Mary
land, in the gallant affair of Mud Fort.
On his retiring from the army, he received
from the commander-in-chief the most flatterinn
testimonials of his military career
During great part of his life he was the in
cumbent of various judicial Offices the duties Of
which he discharged with acknowledged ability
and independence, while his parliamentary labors
of about twenty years. further evince the respect
full consideration in which he was held by his
fellow citizens. Industry, temperance, and in
tegrity, characterized his private department.
He died at his residence, in Saratoga County.
New York, on the 10th of April, 1922, in the
eightieth year of his age.
His biographer says that although he lived
to SO great an age, yet did not his youthful viva
city leave him; his company was much sought
by the young as well as those of mature years.
He died much loved by all his neighbors and
acquaintance, aud the words of the poet Hal
lock would be very appropriately applied to-
him:
Greeub be the tnrf above thee friend of my better days
None knew thee, but to love thee;
None named thee but to praise

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN publishers
of this widely circulated and popular illustrated
weekly journal of mechanics and science, an
nounce that it viii be enlarged on the first of
July, and otherwise greatly improved, contain
ing sixteen pages instead of eight, the present

journal of its class that has ever succeeded in
this county, and maintains character for au-
thority in all matters of mechanics, science and
the arts which is not exceled by any other
journal published in this country or in Europe.
Although the publishers will incur an increased
expense of $4,000 year by this enlargement
they have determined not to raise the price of
subscription, relying upon their friends to in
demnify them in this increased expenditure, by
a corresponding increase of subscribers. Terms

Hope.

Who can unfold all the hidden charms centred
in the word hone /? Who can fathom the deep
meaning and traverse its many labyrinths OF
cheering influences without having high sense
of it's mighty import aroused within them
AS falls the heavy drops from the summer
cloud and are swallowed up by the thirsty, parch-
ed earth, so falls the rich iem from our loving
diaden1s, and are forever lost to mortal sight
On every breeze which is waited to to us, is
borne the wall of anguish or the sigh of the dis
appointed, saddened heart and when waited from
us, carries with it the Responding murmur of
lost affection But behind the cloud, softly APP
pears the face of sweet angelic pureness and as
with upward gaze she whispers Hope, strews
our dreary path with unfading flowers. The
dotng affectionate father, the fond, self-sacrii-
cling mother, while on the verge of declining
years they trembling stand, hear the solemn de-
erees Of the relentless silent messenger but while
f6ey submit to the blow with lacerated bleeding
hearts, they gather strength from the peace Civ
ing summons which bids the wounded spirit

CRossING NIAGARA FALLS ON A TIGHT-RoPE
Mons Blondin, a gymnast, is making pre-
parations to walk over Niagara Falls on tight
rope, to be erected about one hundred and fifty
feet above the water, rocks, &c. The distance
to be travelled on this rope is about l. 100 feet.
The exploit is advertised to take place on Thurs
day next, the 30th inst The Niagara Falls
Gazette of Friday has the following in reference
to the preparations ''Mons. Blondin performed
one of the most daring feats on record Yesterday
afternoon. With several Others, he was enga ged
in putting across the large cable upon which he
is to cross the river. The end of the cable was
fastend to the end of the -eighthS inch rope
(already across) on the American side and
machinery attached to the other end of the latter
on the Canada side. The small rope was used
to draw the large one over. When the large
cable had been drawn within two hundred feet
of the bank it was feared the small rope would
not prove strong enough to take it to land
Had the rope broken, all the previous labor in
getting the first one across would have been
thrown away. In this dilemma Mons Blondin
dJlacueu COrQ 10 MS DOQY ana went out on the
small rope the distance above named. and after
attaching another to the cable, descended on
slack rope to the top of q tree which grows from
near the waters edge. All this was done with
the agility of squirrel and with no apparent
fear. The cable was then landed and made
secure. During the performance of this hazard
Gus feat large number of spectators looked on
in utter amazement. Theperformance is thought
by those who saw it, to be fully as difficult and
attended with quite as much danger, as to walk
across on the large cable Those who witnessed
it and have been more or less skeptical now give
up. They have no doubt of his ability to walk
from bank to bank-eleven hundred feet Hun
dred of people daily visit the grounds at each
end of the cable to witness the progress of the
work. The guys are now being fastened. To
do this Mons. B. has to go out on the cable to
the places he wishes to attach his guys. This
is of itself daring operation and well worth
seeing. The whole will be ready this week The
crossing will take place, as we have before stated
on Thursday next, the S0th instant

THE BALLOON ASCENSION Professor Pusey,
who assembled in his balloon from Williamsburg
New York, on Tuesday evening, descended in
safety at twenty-five minutes Of eight the same
evening in garden belonging to Mr.. Charles
Miller, in the town of Flushing, some nine miles
from the place he started FROM After rising
some distance, current of wind carried him from
the northeasterly course he was going and took
him westerly course, so that he was directly
over New York. He was then waited back,
and when over Newtown Meadows, he dropped
his anchor, weighing seven pounds, and then his
anchor rope, also weighing seven pounds. This
was all the ballast he had, having taken no sand
bags with him, and he rose again rapidly. When
he had descended he was escorted with his bal
loon to the hotel at Flushing, and yesterday
morning reached Williamsburg safety. Hemakes
another ascension from Jones' wood on the
Fourth of July.

AN ANCIENT TERRApTN TURNING

AN ANCIENT TERRAPIN TURNING Up
Twenty seven years ago Robert Patterson found
upon what is now the farm of Mr. Beck living
on Casselman's run, between Bethany and West
Alexander, land terrapin. He cut his name
upon the shell, and the date, and dropped it down
again. Thirteen years afterward John Beck
found the old fellow doubled up near the spot
He also cut his name and the date under that
of Mr.. Patterson, and turned the tortoise loose
Last week Fletcher Beck found the old thing
again, within hundred feet of where it was
seventeen years ago, and performed a similar
operation upon its back. Mr. John Beck, who
called upon us yesterday, says the terrapin had
not altered in appearance in size in the whole
twenty-seven years, and it is, ofcourse impossi-
bic to tell how old it was when the boy Patter-
son first carved his name upon its shell. He
may have cruised about in Noah's ark for all any
one can tell. Anyhow, the terrapin is a long
lived, strange sort of varmint, that hides himself
in winter and doubles himself up in summer so as
to look more like a smallpumpkin than anything
else Wheeling Inteldgencer, June 20.

GARRET DAVIS and Capt. Simms, Of KY,
were at Cincinnati On Sunday and Monday, with
their friends, arranging the prelimiparies of a
hostile meeting between them. This meeting
grew out ofa publication made by Davis, in one
of the papers in the Ashland District, to which
Capt. Simms took exception, and denounced it
fyan the stand in strong terms. Davis, being
Present, avowed the authorship, and harsh and
opprobious words passed between them. Carrot
Davis, it is understood, was the challenger.
Without going further into the matter however,
it is gratifying to know that the difficulty was
satisfactorily and honorably terminated before
going upon the ground

HORRIBLE DEATH.-EALLING INTO A VAT OF

sugar refinery of Messrs F. W. Bruno & Sons.
He was working in the eighth story of the build

from his body that little or nothing could be
done for his relief. He fingered in great agony
until three o'clock this morning, when he breath
