Fearful Scene at Niagara.

Prof. Ruggles, of Dartmouth College,
had very narrow escape at Niagara Falls
on Friday Evening. While walking on
Goat Island with party of ladies', one
of them dropped her parasol, which slid
some fifteen or twenty feet down the bank
of the river Mr.. Cuggles went down
andpickedit up, but on attempting to
return the bank bing steep and the ground
hard, losthis footing, and fell down to
the very brink of the precipice which at
this point is eighty or ninety feet high
Here he caught hold Of the roots Of an
upturned tree, the trunk of which hangs
over the abyss. The shock caused the
tree to shake violently, and it appeared
on the point of falling over the precipce
The ladies shrieked and called for help,
but no assistance was athand. A move
ment on the part of Mr.. Ruggles, or
gust of wind, seemed sufficient to cause
the tree to fall. At this critical moment
one of the ladies took off her basquiuo
and skiris, cut them in strips, got shays
and other articles of clothing from the
rest of the party, tied them together, fas-
tening a stone to tho rope thus formed
and let it down to Mr. Ruggles, who ia-
king hold of il, walked slowly up the
bank 1t was moment OF fearful sus-
pense The rope was held firmly by the
ladies aboxe, but it might unite or brca
and fall of hundred feet on the roc
below must be the inevitable result. WhCa
Mr.. Ruggles reached terra frma, his re
cuer, who had shown such remarkabs
presence of mind, tainted, and was tai a
home in an unconscious state

NUMBER As.
a Rascally Scheme Frustrated.

About the middle Of September, says
the New York Herald, Gen. Baker re-
ceived information of plot at Lynch
burg, Va, to rob the Post Qnartermas-
ter's safe of large amount of money it
was known to contain. The case work,
ed up has resulted in the arrest and in
carceration in the Old Capital Prison last
night of Brevet Brigadier General j. G.
Briscoe, of the 109th Pa. Vols, com,
manding at Lynchburg, and A. W. Lack
ey, of Worcester, Mass, formerly suit
lsr at that post at Lynchburg since Lees
surrender. Capt. w, A, Alberger, son
of Canal Commissioner Alberger, of New
York, has been Quartermaster at Lynch
burg, and had in his charge on the 2lst
of September $4,000 in greenbacks,
besides a large amount of captured gold
coin and bullion, WEIGH had been placed
in his charge for safe keeping. Briscoe
approached Alberger through Lackey,
and proposed to him as the war was about
to close and none Of them had made mon
ey out of it, they should make a grand
haul in concert and pocket fifty thous-
and dollars apiece In fash Alberger
kept the funds in safe which formerly
belonged to rebel officer, and this fact
was to give color to the charge which
was to be made-that the ex-rebel, hay
ing duplicate key to the safe, robbed it,
Briscoe was to arrest the Qpartermaster,
his clerks, and half the people of Lynch
burf, 10 avert suspicion. The General
took an impression of the safe-key in wax
and sent Lackey to Philadelphia to get
the keys made. Alberger, ostensibly in
the plot, informed the Secretary of War,
aud two or three of Gen. Bakers officers
were sent down to LyIehburg to arrest
the guilty parties. These officers saw
through holes in the ceiling of the offioe
Gen. Briscoe come IN while the Quarter
master and the clerks were gone to dim
ner; saw him unlock the safe with the
false key, take out three packages of
greenbacks of 1000 each and load
himself down with coin and bullion to
the amount of near 1000, having pre-
viously igpited saturated paper and cloth
with view TO burning the building
They followed him across the hall to his
own office and burst in upon him count
ing and arranging the money behind his
bodied door, The wax moulds and false
Keys were found upon him, and the proof
was indsputable. These proofs are now
in Gen. Bakers possession. Briscoo and
Lackey are in the Old Capitol awaiting
trial, aud Alberger, the Quartermaster, is
on duty at his old post.-Repository,

INaITING TnE Mop AGAIN.-Th.

INeITING THE MOB AeAIN.-The
New York News is doing all it can
to stir up strife between the working
people and the collored men, by tell
ing the former that the latter are
going to take the bread out Of the
mouths of their wives and childron ;
also, that tkousadns of freedmen are
coming to New York to be employed
the coming winter. The spirit which
prompts such insinuations is the same
