Juvenile Navigation = Another Psrilous
Adventure at the Falls.

Adventure at the Falls.
From the Louisville Courier. Aug. H..
About two clock yesterday evening, o
little boy thirteen years of age, while
playing in q skiff at the Jacksonville
ievee, was accidentally thrown adrift
without either oars or paddle to manage
the boat, and was soon being carried by
the swift curreet toward the falls. As the
little c,llow was swept along, be was
seen by number of persons on the In
diana shore, and by the time he had
neared the head of the falls, crowd had
gathered and were watching with breath
less interest for q result that seemed
almost inevitable. As they strained their
eyes in the direction of the skif, it
reached point near the head of the falls,
and striking a rock was instantly filed
with water and sunk. The boy fortu-
nately managed to maintain his position
for short time, standing waist deep in
the rapid stream that eddied around him,
and in the meantime boat shot out from
the Indiana shore and made directly for
the falls. Chss. Kreamer, one Of the
men who rescued little boy similarly
situated not long since, along with Henry
Hager and Phil Ernst, we're in the
rescuing boat, which was the Black
Crook racer, and belonged to the Barge
Club In an almost incredibly short space
Of time they reached the drowning boy,
and as they swung around and lifted him
into the boat a round of cheers went up
from the crowd on shore, who had given
up the little fellow for lost. He was
quickly brought to land aud sent home,
very badly frightened but uninjured.
1t is about time the beys we're taking
warning from these repeated occurrences.
The probability is that "the next boy
dragged out won't be alive" and there
will be little coffin in some mourning
household and Grape on somebody's
door

The Radicals at the North do not re-
rard the election of Grant as anything
ike certain. They are beginning to
have grave doubts on this subject The
Tribune says: "We do not believe, nor
wish others to believe, Gen. Grants cleo
ton certain. We would have every one
realize that the election is not yet
decided that the Republicans can win
if they work; but must lose if they are
needless or apathetic."

Col. JAMES CoEY.-This gentleman, who
has been appointed successor to Frank ooule,
as Collector of Internal Revenue for the First
District of California, is thus spoken OF by
the San Francisco Times
Colonel James Coey has been citizen OF
San Francisco for the past two years ~
April, 1866, he was appointed by General
Miller to a position in the Custom House,
and, as we are informed, he rendered valua
BILE service as Government ofhcial. Oh ac-
count Of his superior qualifications he was
afterwards promoted to the Warehouse pP-
partment, and in this position he was brought
In daily contact with many OF the leadi"g
merchants and importers of the city. About
two months since, he went East. Just after
his departure he was elected delegate %
the Republican Convention at Chicago, and
in the list of proceedings, his name apr cares
as one of the Vice Presidents. lie was also
a member of the Executive Committee oi the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention
From some of his army friends we learn
that his military record, during the late war
was in the highest degree credltable: ne
entered the service as FIRST Lieutenant IN the
l47th New York Volunteers, ana was az
yanced, for meritorous conduct. through tue
grades of Captain. Major and Brevet Lieut.
Colonel, to that OF DreNei III lhO a. my -
participated. with his regiment, In most OF
great battles of the Potomac Army, and his
promotion occurred at various times alter
those of Charlottesville, Gettysburg, the
Wilderness. and before Petersburg. lie
was wounded at the battle of the Wilderness,
but soon returned to his regiment for service
At the battle of Hateher's Run. February
9th, 1865, his regiment suffered severely IN
retaking position. The color-bearers
were shot. one after the other, until seven
had fallen. Colonel Coey, then command
ing, raised the standard three different times,
and placed it in the hands Of fresh men,
His conspicuous gallantry contributed IN
great degree to make the engagement a sue
cess; but, just as the fight was won, the
the Colonel received severe wound. The
ball entered his head Just below the right eye,
coming out above and behind the left ear
His recovery after such wound was ac-
counted. by the army surgeons, as very re-
markable But the Colonel was again with
his command before Richmond, and took
part in the last battles of the war. Modest
and unassuming in demeanor, he is held IN
high estimation by his military friends, aud
in any less gigantic struggle than the war Of
the rebellion. his record would make 1
national reputation. His fitness for the re
sponsible position of Collector of lnterna
Revenue can only be determined by his bpSI
ness qualifications, which are said to be ot {
high order
