NIAGARA FALLS EoLIpsED.-From cred
liable exchange we cut the following de-
scription of waterfall, hitherto unknown
to the tourists, and distinguished for its
wonderful sublimity over that of Niagara.
1t has been discovered in the valley Of
the Snake Fork of the Columbia River.
1t says:-" This excelsior fall, over which
pours the entire volume of Snake River,
is sheer precipice one hundred and nine
ty-eight feet high, being ninety eight
feet higher than the precipice Of Niagara.
Snake River is said to be fully as large as
the Niagara, and it takes the stupendous
fall at one solid leap. A scouting dctach-
ment Of United States troops are accred-
tied with the discovery. The continuous
roaring Of this fall, it is ingeniously re-
marked. has for many years attracted at
tention. without anything definite having
been learned concerning it, more than if
1t had been as distant as the fall of Adam
or cataract in the moon. Forward, en-

BULLY FOR THE GoRE-It will be seen
by the table published elsewhere that
Goshen Gore has deficiency of three men
to be drafted for the 10th. had not the
draft been postponed. This is rather
rough on the Gore, and especially so if
the current story be true, that man was
enrolled who had been dead two years.
However this may be, the Gore has now
enrolled and not in service. 81 persons
between the ages of 20 and As years.
Eight Of these have claims for exemption
on the score Of disability; leaving 10 to
stand the chance Of draft. Thirty five
men have already been furnished for the
army from the Gore; one resident has
sent substitute and one paid commuta-
ton. This not only shows pretty good
record for the Gore, but also shows the in
convenience of rich neighbors, as the
towns about have got credit for the men
by paying them bonntics. Go away with
your Holland and Jay school districts I;
we claim the banner for the Gore. - Cal

RUNS DoINGs.

A woman went to woodward in
very cold day and asked to see the head
man. He came forward. "Sir. said she.
"can you let me have quarter Of cord
Of wood for thatf" handing him a piece
Of money; "my children are freezing"
The man looked closely at her. "Why,
are you not Seth Blake's .wife9" be
YES, sir, am" said the woman.
"How does it happen that you are in
such low circumstances {? asked the man.
"Sir," answered Mrs. Blake, rum
did it,"
That's bad" said the man.
"Yes, sir, it is bad My children are
starving, and rum did that. My children
are ragged, and rum did that. My chill
dren are growing up outside the church
outside Of the Sabbath school, outside
the daily-school and rum does that.
My husband, once kind and industrious,
is now vagabond. and rum did that"
And the poor woman sunk down on a
log of wood, the picture Of want and
woe.
Nor did the rough woodman keep his
eyes dry. for he remembered the time when
Seth Blake was promising young prin-
ter as ever was. He married nice wo-
man. ard the young couple started in life
with fair prospect of comfort and hap
piness as young couple could well have.
They had seats in the Methodist church
too, and used to be seen listening to the
word Of God.
But Seth had weak point. He ,could
sometimes drink He did not quite be-
lieye in total abstinence. Taste not,
touch not, handle not, was not bis motto.
The habit gained on him. 1t mastered
him it ruined him ; and the worst of it
all is, that drunkard's family SO often
have to share drunkard's shame and deg
relation.
Touch not, taste nat, handle not. boys
That is the only safe ground. Any other
may sink you.

FmaneInatIOn.

The New York Herald, which has al
ways been the enemy Of emancipation
and the ardent friend of slavery, pub
fishes an elaborate article recommend
ing that slavery be abolished by gen
eral convention. This is the Heralds
proposition:
fWe would, therefore, earnestly CALI
the attention of Congress to the fact that
there is only one way in which this
slavery question may be decisively and
permanently settled by universal eman-,
cipation, and that now is the opportuni-
ty for this great achievement. This way
is pointed out in the Federal Constitu-
ton, and is simply an amendment of that
instrument, declaring slavery abolished
throughout the United States 1t is thus
provided that ''the Congress, whenever
two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose amendments to
this Constitution, Or, on the application
of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the
several States, shall call a Convention
for proposing amendments, which, in
either case, shall be valid to all intents
and purposes, as part of this Constitu-
fion, when ratified by the Legislatures of
three-fourths Of the several States, or by
conventions in threefourths thereof, as
the one or the other mode of ratification
may be proposed by Congress.
Here, then, the amendment suggested,
4 passed by two-thirds vote in each
House of Congress, and ratified by the
Legislatures, or by conventions, of three
fourtbs of the States of the Union, will
abolish slavery at once and forever
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. And why not? The institu-
ton, so long as it exists, can never be
anything hereafter except source OF
mischief 10 all concerned. Its useful
ness to the South is destroyed its evils,
as a fountain of bitter waters, are all
that is left of it. Let Congress pass the
amendment indicated, with a reasonable
compensation to loyal Shareholders, and
the ratification of the States will soon
follow. An average allowance of three
hundred dollars for the slaves of loyal
owners will, we dare say, cover less than
million of slaves. We will assume
! that the constitutional ratification 'meanS
three-fourths of all the States, including
in the count the rebelhous States. This
will require three-fourths of thirty-fVe
States, or ratification of twenty-seven
States There are twenty-four now rep
resented in Congress, exclusive of Old
Virginia. Arkansas has returned to the
Union as a free State, and Louisiana
and Tennessee are following close be
hind Thus, within short time, we
shall have the twenty-seven States re-
quired, every one of which, on the test
OF a popular convention, viii ratify the
proposed amendment DIS s.
