in Lake Calhoun!
Our city was startled on Thursday after.
noon by the announcement that Rev. H. NJ
Nichols, the pastor of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church of Minneapolis, with his wife
and son, boy about twelve years old, and his
brother-in-law, NJ a. Cleveland, with his two
oldest children two daughters, aged about
eleven and thirteen years respectively, had all
been drowned in Lake Calhoun Large num-
beers of our citizens hastened to the fatal spot,
and found the sad intelligence too true. Mr..
Cleveland, who resided at Chanhassan, in this
county, was on Il visit, with his wife and four
children. to Mr. Nichols, whose wife was a
sister to Mrs. Cleveland. Both families, in.
Guiding the two children Of Mr.. Nichols, had
gone out to the lake for the purpose of bath
ing, provided with suitable dresses, The
three children being first ready, started into
the water At the distance Of not more than
twenty feet the water suddenly deepened and
they were all struggling for life, Mr.. Nichols
and Mr.. Cleveland both rushed to the rescue,
and, getting beyond their depth, Mr.. Cleve-
land who could not swim, grasped Mr.. Mich
OILS and carried him down. Mrs. Nichols also
attempted to reach them, and, finding
herself sinking, called to Mrs. Cleveland,
who was following, to go back and take
care of the children. The only swimmers
were Mr.. Nichols and his son, but
they seemed to be us surely fated as the rest.
When discovered Mrs Cleveland was wading
irantieally in the water, trying to reach the
Others, who had disappeared beneath the sur.
nee. The bodies were all recovered within
new hours, all lying near each other IN water
niieen iect deep. The alarm was given by

Bell-Everett State Convention in New YOrl

UTICA, July II The state convention of
the supporters OF Bell and Everett, was held
here today. Hon. Amos IL. Prescott was
president of the convention. On taking the
chair, he spoke of the republicans as sectional
in principle and as having thrown overheard
their greatest statesman for one less distin-
guished, Union men were no more bound to
support that party now than in l85G-one- half
the democratic party was as sectional as the
republicans. The only constitutional party
was that whose platform was the Union and
the constitution. Mr.. j. IL. Duganne violent
ly opposed the report Of the credential com
mittee disallowiRg him a seat, but the report
was unanimously adopted. Washington Hunt
reported the dongs OF the national union con-
vention, and addressed the convention at
length i'll support of Bell and Everett.
james Brooks also addressed the convention
moving the ratification Of the nominations
and believing the party held the balance of
power. 1t was not wise yet to form an cleo
toral ticket, but he was ready to join any true
union men, whether Douglasites or r,publi.
cans, in support of the union and constitution,
without abandoning his principles lie said
the noblest fight ever made in the country
agains federal tyrany was that of Douglas, in
Illinois, against the present administration.
With the adoption OF suitable resolutions the
convention adjourned.

The Prince nt New York.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE Prince yis-
tied the New York University, this morn
ing and received an address from Chancellor
Ferris, and another from Professor Morse.
He visited Astor Library, Cooper Institute,
and Free Academy, where the scholars ali
rose on his entrance, aud remained standing
during his visit.
After a drive to Central Park, he dined
with Mayor Wood, and thence proceeded to
High Bridge, returningin season for the ball
tonight.
Soon after leaving the hotel this morning,
a young fellow named Edward Moneone,
who says he was born in England, and is
evidently in disordered state Of mind,
rushed out of the crowd on the sidewalk,
shaking his fist and exclaiming "Who are
your | can whip you any day. You will
never be King Of England if you live 100
years"
Some spectators also declare he threatened
to shoot at the Prince, but others deny it.
The Prince and suite paid no attention TO
the disturbance, and possibly did not hear
the insulting language.
The Prince, by desire, planted two trees
on the Central Park, one an English Oak
and the other an American Elm.

LAMRSTABLE EFFECTS OF A SFRIKE IN En-

than work. A body Of operatives at Colne,
Lancashire, after holding out three months,
and suffering dreadfully, have returned 10
with an executive committee, and voluntarily
submitted to series of tyrannies worse than
anything employers ever had the viii or
power to inhict A periodical report Of the
finances Of the association appeared, called
Punch, one of the objects of which was to
"punchN up delinquents of dues, and by
which the members, especially females, were
grossly and publicly insulted and threatened,
their names being printed in full, with
threats Of scandalous revelations, II they
were behindhand in their payments. Under
this insupportable system about $4,000 per
week were collected, until the poor creatures
could endure the self-elected tyranny no
longer. 'aai

CRNoLINE TRIUMPHANT.-TheL Law RaOOTs
It's ExtensiOn.-A Philadelphia correspond
ent of the New York Tribune gives the fol-
lowing;
One of our Aldermen, by name Helfricht,
has wife who, like all other wives, indulges
in crinoline. In passing up Third-street
the other day, her skirt encountered box
on the pavement in front of Mr.. VIM. NJ.
Christy's store, whereupon the box caught
the skirt, the same being of silk, and there
in tore hole five and a half inches long.
The lady, discovering the rent, proceeded to
kick-not Mr.. Christy, but the box-and her
husband, the Alderman, proceeded to sue
the unofending Mr.. Christy, claiming as
damages $25. The lady proved that she
kicked the box. Christy defended the box
and himself-proved that it stood within
twenty-five inches of the curb which space
the law gives him, and that it had been
there only an hour and a quarter. The
Alderman, who heard this momentous case
on Tuesday, was so bothered by it as to be
unable to make his mind up until Saturday.
He then gave Judgment in favor of the
plaintiff for So and costs, thus legally decid-
ing that every thing out of doors must
stand clear of hooped-skirts.

PHILADELPHIA, October "a The official
count this morning shows the election Of
John M. Butler (Republican) for Congress in
the First District, over Lehman, by ls5 ma
jority.
The trustees of the City Gas-works are
manifesting opposition to the improvement
in the manufacture of gas by cutting off the
connections at the Girard House, and refus-
ing the supply from the city works unless
the proprietors stop making water-gas, with
which the hotel has been partly supplied for
months past.
The vote of the First District has been
thrown into Court for judicial examination.
Mr.. Lehman, the Democratic candidate, testi-
fed that he had examined the returns of the
Judges of several precincts in the Fourth
Ward, which gave him majority of 555; it
was also testified that this was the majority
counted on for Mr.. lehman, at the meeting
of the Judges of the Fourth Ward, while the
returns presented by Byerly, the return
Judge from that ward at the Official Court
this morning, only gave Mr.. Lehman 229
majority, thus defeating him.
