ADIRONDACK RAILRoAD-VIEWs OF
SCENERY.-The Adirondack railroad
route is growing in favor with pleasure
travellers, and many are looking forward
anxiously for its extension yet farther
into the great Northern wilderness. 1t
is pretty definitely settled that it Will
be hurried through to Ogdepsburgh pref
ty soon now. Mr.. Durant, the principal
owner, having nothing else of very en-
crossing nature on his hands, can well
afford to hurry along this road. d. Bar
mum, an experienced photograph artist at
Saratoga, has been delighting lovers Of
the picturesque by taking some capital
stereoscopic views of scenery on the line
of this road, at Palmer's Falls, Luzerne,
Warrensburgh, etc. There is something
new and fresh in the view of the wild
scenery of the upper Hudson and Schroon
rivers to please every one.

SERIOUS AcCIDENT.-About IL o'clock
yesterday forenoon, portion of the scat
folding at the new Catholic church fell,
precipitating one of the workmen, Mr..
James Tienan to the ground, breaking
both bones of the left forearm, and severe
ly bruising the left side Of the face, break
ing the upper jaw-bone and knocking out
several teeth. The jaw-bone was so bad
ly broken that several pieces of the bone
had to be taken out. The injury OF the
head was evidently done by stone fall
ing on it, and had the greater portion OF
the blow been one or two inches higher,
it would have resulted in instant death.
DR.. Fox was promptly called in and done
all that could be done to alleviate his
sufferings.

A Distressing Accident.
THE FATALITY OF LOVE FINDS A CURIOUS
ILLUSTRATION.

A young gentleman named Joe White,
very respectable, industrious, quiet,
good looking fellow of about eighteen
years of age, and resident of German
town, went to South Nashville Saturday
night to visit his lady love, a Miss Barnes.
He had been frequently to visit her be-
fore, at various times. They were en-
gagged to be married. He found her in
the parlor, sewing, as proper young girl
should be. She vas anxious TO finish the
article, and therefore concluded not TO
throw it aside when he entered, particu-
larly as he complimented her upon her
pretty appearance, with her beautiful
face bending over her slender fingers, H.
she piled the stitches with ss much grace
and rapidity as other girls display when
skimming over the keys of a nasty piano.
He took his seat beside her. They chat
ted very gaily. After waiting a few min
utes, which to him seemed hours, he be-
came impatient, and longed to imprint q
chaste kiss upon her ripe and pouting
lips. With the view of carrying out his
design, he let his arm circle her waist
furtively, and, as he was drawing her
close to himself, she objected to being dis
turbed until her little work was finished
but.he insisted. She made . motion to
shove him of, as girls are said to gensr-
ally. This motion proved fatal to her
hsppiness and to his life. He became
impetuous, and drawing her to him with
much violence, the needle, which was
caught In her thimble, got between them,
the point toward his heart. 1t entered.
and - he was about to imprint kiss Of
love upon her lips, his own became ashy
pale. His vigorous grasp relaxed, and
then the fre Of love died out, as If by .

The family all ran into the room, and

Left to the women-the wives, sisters and
mothers of those who have been ruined
by strong1drink-the most stringent law
would be rigidly enforced.
It is undeniable that the Maine law has
not realized the hopes and expectations OF
it's friends. Some law, regulating the use
and preventing the abuse Of liquor, should
find place upon our statute books, and
that law should be enforced; we know
the general complaint is that our present
law has never been enforced, thoroughly ;
we do not believe it ever will be, until
public sentiment is educated up to high

OUR CLAIMS AGAINST MExICo.-The
statement made recently to the effect that
the Commission for the settlement OF
claims under the late treaty with Mexico
had met at the State Department and or
Qanized, was erroneous. Gen. w. d.
Wordsworth, Commissioner on the part Of
the United States, accompanied by >.
Hubley Ashton, his attorney, and Geo.
G. Garther, Secretary, appeared and noti-
fed the Secretary of State that he was
prepared to sign the requisite declaration
for his government 1t will be remem-
bered that one claim of the treaty requir-
ed the organization of the Commission
within six months from the date OF the
ratification. Yesterday was the last day,
and as yet Signor Francisco Gomez Pala-
clio, the Commissioner on the part OF Mex
leo and the Mexican Government, had
not arrived in Washington. Gen. Caleb
Gushing, however, the Attorney for the
Mexican Commissioner, was present, and
entered into written assurances that the
failure of Signor Polacia to be present
was entirely owing to causes beyond his
control, and not from any desire or inten-
ton to abrogate or invalidate the terms
Of the treaty Signor Polacio has a rep
utation for great legal ability, and was
lately President of the Mexican Senate
He sailed in company with the Mexican
Minister from Vera Cruz on the Gath ult.,
and will probably arrive here during the
ensuing week. SO soon as he does arrive
the Commission will convene and proceed
with the preliminary business, such as
the establishment of necessary rules OF
practice and modes of conducting the
eases brought before it. The Commission
will, after pron,ulgating such rules, ad-
journ until November or December, at
which time it will sit for the hearing and
decision of all cases filed ad'intertm.

The editor of the Corinne Reporter de-

sible to sink to the chin. He could lie on
the water, stand in it, take almost any po-
sition. and still he would float and could
not sink. 1t is necessary, after swimming
in this briny water, to rinse OIL with

looking as if he had been powdered all
over with white chalk.
