England, which seriously disturbed

tion to tho missing portion, Take an

greenback is torn off, tho value of tho

lar groenback in the same, condition,
is worth $3.50. Tho names of tho

THE DISASTER AT NIAGARA FAILS.
"A dispatch from Niagara Falls,
September 18th, says:
This afternoon, while terrible
wind was blowing up the gulf, two
men wore discovered in small boat
in the rapids south of the Three Sis
tcrs. They were struggling dcperatc-
ly with the waves but human power
was utterly unavailing. Hundreds Of
persons were on Goat Island and saw
them, but of course wcro unable to
render any assistance. The terror
stricken men rowed with frantic efforts
to the very verge of the precipice,
and finally went over, still clinging to
their oars.
1t seems Mr. Cooper, the Postmas-
ter at the town of Chippawa, on the
Canada side, two miles above the
Falls, started with Frank Lcutze, the
fcrryman, to cross the river in small
boat. Usually the course is to pull
about two miles up the river before
attempting to cross, but on this occa-
sion the unfortunate men seem to have
imagined that the heavy wind blow
ing up stream would countcract the
force of the current and consequently
attempted to cross in a direct line.
The result was the same as it had
been OIL three former occasions when
similar attempts have boen made, and
their lives paid the forfeit of this mis-
tako. The sad ending of this last mad
attempt should teach n lesson of care
fitness to all who live along tho riv-
er's bank Tho rapids of the Niagara
are too awful in+tlleir power to be tri-
fed with. 1t is singular that Lcutzc,
the fcrryman WHO had crossed and re-
crossed hundred times iii all kinds
of weather, should have SO sadly mis-
judged the force of the current, and
over estimated to such a degree the
strength of the wind. +.

"Wcll," said the child, "fathcr
spends all his money here for rum, and
we have no bread to-day. Mother
wants to buy loaf of bread"
a loafcr suggested to the bar-kcep-
or to kick her out.
"No," said the bar-kceper, cpl
give her mother the money, and If her
father mes,baels again, I'll kick him
out"
Such circumstance never happen

again. Humanity owes. that bar
