WONDERFUL EscAPE.-The Transcript
gives the following account of the throw
ing Of a stage of the grade near Nevada
City. The escape Of the driver and horses,
without injury, was almost miraculous:
On the narrow grade, about half way
up the hill from Greenhorn Creek, Colby,
ON his down trip, met q wagon, and after
getting his passengers out, attempted 10
pass. The lead-bars caught in the wagon
wheel and the leaders went over the grade,
Colby jumping from the seat as the stage
went over. The frs, plunge, horses and
stage went out of sight, and those
who stood on the grade watched TO see
the whole concern land in Greenhorn
Creek, three hundred o. more feet below
them. While looking in this direction
the rolling Of wheels attracted their atten-
ton, and the four horses with the fore
wheels attached, were seen making a cir
cui, on the opposite side Of the ravine at
full speed. They reached the grade be-
fore the men could head them. and ran TO
Hunts Hill, about two miles distant,
where they were caught. The body and
hind wheels of the stage were found about
thirty feet below the road but slightly
injured. Twenty-Five dollars will cover
the whole damage sustained by the acct
dent. We congratulate Colby on his al
most miraculous escape.

EXCITING SCENE AT 4 RoPE WALKING.
The Grass Valley National Of October
Is. relates the following incident at Glen
brook Park, on the occasion of a feat OF
rope-walking by Celeste:
As is usual in such cases, there was con-
siderable delay in getting ready, and the
ascension didn't take place until about six
o'clock. The rope was about 300 feet
long, and was stretched between two
trees A.; the elevation at the starting point
was about twenty-four feet, and at the
outcome about thirty-fye feet. The lady
started with a wheelbarrow attached to
her, but when she had walked about a
third Of the distance one Of the handles
Of the w~heelbarrow slipped out of its
socket, which slightly threw her off her
balance. Here the lady displayed great
presence Of mind; as soon as she regained
her balance she stepped back and let the
wheelbarrow fall, and then continued on
her walk. This caused considerable ex-
ci,enent in the crowd, as no one could see
exactly how she was going TO get nd OF
the wheelbarrow, and it was evident It
would throw her off the rope If 1t contin-
ued in tina. position, and when she sue
ceeded in getting rid Of the wheelbarrow
and completing the walk, she was greeted
with rounds Of applause.

RECENTLY the community Of Jerusalem.
Lancaster county, Penn, was thrown into
q state of the widest excitement by the
mysterious murder Of Mrs. Mary Emison,
wife of one Of the wealthiest citizens in
the county. She was found in the nurse
ry, her child in her arms, with a dagger in
her heart, around which was twined a
cord. She had been nursing her child
when the fatal blow was struck, and the
dagger passed through one cheek OF the
infant pinning it fast to her bosom. Mrs.
Emison, when discovered, had probably
been dead about an hour. The wound to
the child was not serious. There is not
the slightest clue to the murderer.
