Haffee escaped from the Albany County Lu-
matte Asylum and, running furiously through
some streets, attracted large crowd. Sew
eral persons tried to catch him, but the I'M
fortunate creature pursued his course directly
through the street uutil he came to the pre-
cipitous and rocky entertainments of Butter
milk Falls.
Here he made leap into the stream, a dis
lance of 10 feet, striking on the rocky bed
of the stream, and thence made another leap
over the falls, falling into pool of water be-
low. Here he was quickly followed by his
pursuers, who succeeded in rescuing him from
drowning He was, however, found to be
insensble from the effects of his terrible leap,
and was SO badly injured, internally and
otherwise, that it was supposed he would die
during the day. He was placed upon a
stretcher and conveyed back to the asylum.

The Friends present model of interior

Their gospel is one Of home peace. Their
heaven on earth is to win some foretaste OF
the ''rest which remaineth for the people OF
God" They exemplify what the Christian
fre-side ought to be-warm without heat,
