items from Niagara Falls.

AT Niagara Falls last week a Michigan
man went to the Suspension Bridge, aud
going up to the masonry upon the abut-
ments where The cables are anchored, deib-
erately took of his boots, and mounting one
OF the cables walked to the top OF the tower
and down the cable on the other side, to
where the cables are attached together by
stay, upon which he walked over to the
opposite cable, and up upon that over to
the tower, to It's anchorage upon the other
side of the abutment, from where he started.
Taken with the fact that he walked without
any balancing pole or other means of pois-
ing himself, the act was quite " Blon linisb.'
A few days since while a party OF excur-
sionists from Brantford. Canada, were de-
scending ladder to enter Bender's Cave, a
curious cavity in the rocks about mile be-
low the suspension bridge, some thirty feet
rom the top of the river, a young man,
formerly a resident of BrantiOld, named
Christopher PAber, lost his hold of the
ladder, and was precipitated over the rocks
to the depths below, distance OF one hun
dred feet. He did not, however, fall into
the water, but on the rocky SHELF nearly on
a level with the surface OF the stream. n OF
one of his comrades could venture down to
see what had become OF him. MIR. Mum,
market clerk of the town, notified the chief
magistrate at the Suspension Bridge. That
officer Immediately repaired to the spot with
posse of men, who, by circuitous route,
reached the place on which the man had
fallen. He was still alive, though unable
to speak. His ribs and one thigh were
fractured, and he was otherwise terribly
bruised. He was left in charge of the ma )
gistrate, but with scarcely possibility of
his recovery. The conclusion produced by
fall so great distance must have been
considerable. Pabier was an Englishman,
and widower, but had no family. 1t was
at his urgent request that the excursion
party attempted to descend the rocks and
examine the cave. The whole party de-
scended to the cave and returned with safety
except himself.

Such an exhibit proves at least the intel
ligence, although some may think that it
shows the regiment to be entirely too com.
municative.
Yet nothing so preserves the juices of
our humanity as constant correspondence
with those we love. And although the
letters at times may be jaundiced by i'll
temper or distemper of some other kind,
or be full of stories about Black Horse
Cavalry, and relics of bent bayonets, which
would astonish the horse-marines, they had
better be written and forwarded, and read
and wondered at by credulous friends than
man should spend time in brooding over ills
of which there are so many both real and
fanced in soldiers life.
On last Friday afternoon ntraband
acting as cook in company H, was shot by
an intoxicated soldier. The ball passed
through the arm, and striking rib, frac-
tured it, and passing out of the side, struck
and was buried in the stake of tent where
several soldiers were, and who otherwise
might have been wounded. The soldier
was instantly arrested and taken to the
guard house. Our acting surgeons. ever on
the alert, were soon on the spot, and dressed
the wounds of the negro, but on Sunday
morning he sank and died. The afternoon
he was shot, he prayed that be might be
forgiven, and that the man who shot him
might also-correct theology, although is
suing from the lips of one who had always
been an iiterate slave.
The drunken soldier is now sober but
miserable man. He laments the day,
comparatively recent, when he was enticed
to drink, and regrets that he was not per-
mitted to fall in the service of his country
A general court martial will be convened
to consider his case, and we hope that all OF
the mercy, consistent with justice, and
proper military discipline, may be extended
to him.
A portion of the liquid dannation !"
our men drink, is sold by sneakiog negroes,
who hide themselves in the woods, and re-
tail liquor from an old molasses jug, con.
cealed in meal-bag. A recent order of
the government forbids the stuff to be kept
or sold by suffers. As the afternoon was
warm, and my garruousness must have vent,
| have written this gossiping letter.

Suicide of the Rev. r.. Y. Reese, ID.
OF Baltimore.

From the Baltimore Patriot, Sept. IA.
Our citizens were greatly shocked this
morning by the announcement OF the sudden
death of Rev. +. Yeates Reese, ID, edi
tor of the Methodist Protestant. The cir
cumstances which led to this sad event are
as follows: 4 about year ago DR.. Reese
lost his wife, to whom he was greatly at
tached, and it preyed so greatly upon his
mind, that, 10 order to disslpate his melan
cboly as much as possible, he devoted him"
self to study and reading with even more
assiduity than was his wont, and the great
strain this produced upon his mental acul-
ties had the effect, in some measure, of caus
ing relaxation OF their power. The tinan
cial trouble of the past few months had also
their effect upon him ia connection with
the fortunes of the religious paper with
which he had been so long identified, and
for some weeks he has shown great menta de-
preston and melancholy incident lhereupon.
His friends had, however, placed INN under
the care OF skiliul physicians, and his symp
toms for the past few days had been deemed
more favorable, and led to anticipations Of
a speedy restoration to health.
A bout nine O'Clock this morning be was
seated in his library, in company with his
sister, engaged in reading, and was quite
rational i'll his conversation. Suddenly,
however, without word, he rose from
his seat anu walked into the front part
of the building. His sister, hearing a noise,
followed him, and, Gu reaching his chamber,
was shocked to find him standing on the
floor covered with blood, which was flowing
from deep cash in his throat He had
taken a razor from its case, and, after shaw,
ing himself, drew it across his throat, thus
most effeclually accomplishing his purpose
He died almost Immediately.
This melancholy event has thrown deep
gloom over large circle OF relatives and
friends, as well as the religious denomina
ton with which he had been SO long con
nected, and who will long deep y regret the
momeBtary paroxysm under which his val
liable and useful life was terminated.
DIR. Reese was a man OF fine talent,
terse and vigorous writer, and an eloquent
speaker. He had been editor Of the Meth
odiSt Protestant tor several years, and under
his supervision that publication had at
tanned a wide circulation. His literary
abilities were OF the highest order, and he
had deserved popularity as lecturer up
| on various topics. He was staunch adj
vOcate OF the temperance cause, and took
| the liveliest interest iu everything that co.'s
cerned its advancement. He was about
fifty years of age, and has left several chi

Secretary WelIes.

The Secretary of the Navy, Gideon We'll
les, of Connecticut, who has been denounced
by many an "imbecile," and as.un6t Tor the
position which he holds was lately honored
with an invitation to public dinner by
some of his old friends, in Hartford, Cons
necticut. He declined, and in a letter to
that effect, dated September IL, he thus
alludes to the public expectations regard
ing the Navy, and to the attacks which
have been made upon his personal and Off
cial character. He says !:
In this GREAT contest, which tests the
stability and strength of the government,
the Navy must necessarily perform no un-
important part, and yet from the nature of
things it will, when compared with former
wars of different character, be less de-
monstrative than may perhaps be expected.
The insurgents have no commerce to enrich
our sailOrs-nO navy from which laurels can
be won. Our ships are employed in the
barren and thankless duty of sentinels to
guard our ports, and even cOastwise demon.
STATIONS, like the late successful one at
Hatteras, in order to be thoroughly effective
require the cooperation of the army.
Ii our sailors capture batteries, there must
be soldiers TO garrison them. Almost all
of our naval operations in this contest must
be contingent upon others, yet for any de-
lay or failure the Navy is held responsible.
Ii a vessel escapes the vigilance that is in
tended to be ceaseless, censure falls on the
Navy and the department that regulates its
movements. 1t does not become me to say
what has been done or is doing to enlarge
and invigorate the Navy by that depart
ment. 1t has not purchased all the ves~
sells that have been presented, for
good and abundant reasons, and yet
1t has been blamed for the Omis-
sion. 1t has spared DO effort to secure
such vessels as would be serviceable, and
yet does not escape censure for purchases
made with an exclusive eye to public inter-
est and welfare. The movements OF our
squadron have not been announced by tele-
graphic communication through the press,
and the consequence has been that many
who knew nothing that was dong declared
That the department Was doing nothing
complain not OF these censures, but | am
gratlfied that you, my neighbors and fellow
citizens, who best know me, understand and
appreciate the true condition OF affairs.

The Soldiers Grave.

The War Department has, with wise
forethought, issued a series of regulations
tor military burials, and the registration Of
deceased soldiers and their graves, showing
date and place OF burial, transfers of corpse
and other records, SO as to enable friends 10
find the graves OF their dead loved ones.
Each grave is to have its number, in the
order OF ipterment, distinctly indicated upon
a head sign of cedar, or some other endur-
ing wood, the name Of deceased, date of
death, and his company or regimental
corps initials being engraved thereon. These
various records are to be preserved at the
Surgeon-Generals office in Washington,
and are to be forever open to the inspection
of friends OF the deceased. There is deep
pathos in the soldiers grave lar away from
home-tombs in the battle field, overgrOwn
with grasses and flowers And those left
behind will find consolation in the fact that
the tenderest humapities are to be observed
towards the graves OF their loved ones.-

General Mcclellan.

Last Sabbath evening meeting was held
in the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New
York, in favor of aiding the Central Army
Committee in their efforts to disseminate
reading matter among the troops at the seat
of war. Rev. DR.. Bellows and Others made
speeches. 10 the course OF his remarks DIR.
Bellows said:
Our little old army was in the charge of
old men-most of them between seventy
and eighty years of age. Ii he were to
enunerate all the officers between those ages
in the regular army, it would be seen what
an admirable "peace establishment" it had
been unner the control of these venerable
gentlemen. But complete transformation
has been made in the condition of our forces,
and in wonderfully short space of time.
He wanted to say word about that young
man at the capital toward whom 90 many
eyes were turned. In him God had given
Just such man as was wanted-a young
man in the prime of life, compacted of the
best fibre, made for actiOn-a man that will
do better than he can talk-a man that can
do at once all that be can do at any time
man whose every motion is graceful, in
sinuating, frank, open, whose presence
awakens enthusiasm, and wherever he goes
CARRIES the plume of Henry of Navarro.
In regard to the Cabinet, he knew that
General Mcclellan himself wished for no
other man to be at the head of the War
Department than the man who now stands
there. He heard Gen. Mcclellan recount
to him the circumstances of the late skis
mish near Lewnsvlie. Mr.. Cameron asked
how many of the Seventy ninth were
wounded. "Three or four" swell, send
them to my house," was the reply, "and l
will nurse them" General Mcclellan said
to one of the dying soldiers of this regiment,
II did you wrong; called you towards ;
and here you have stood before these shells
like veterans "But, said the dying SOL
der, "we deserved to lose our colors, and l
shall die happily if l know they are to be
restored to the regiment" DR.. Bellows
paid high tribute to the energy of the Ad.
ministration, of his personal knowledge.

Steamers and vessels now en- route for On

20 miles to reach this mining region, and
run out again around Keeweenaw Point, a
distance of 100 miles, to reach a point

could be reached by keeping up the river II

within mile and half of the lake. the
intervening banks represented as being OF

miles per trip. This improvement should
receive the early attention of the govern
