Affecting Incidents.

The late terrible floods at Harper
Ferry developed much individual hero
ISM Rev. DIR. Dutton and family lived
in brick house on Hers Island. On
Friday night the foundation of bis house
began to give way, and stopping out into
the hall, he was struck BIZ d falling tim
ber and fell senseless to the floor. Mrs.
Dutton signaled to the house nearly op-
posite, a strong building, and from the
second story u rope was thrown to her.
The tied this around one of the servant
girls, and she was drawn across the
street TO the next house through water
fifteen feet deep The rope was returned,
the other servant sent over in the same
manner, then the still unconscious hus-
band, and last the heroic wife herself
crossed the Hood after she had seen her
household safely oyer.r te
james shipe, of Qverton's Island, took
his wife, to whom he had but five months
been welded, on his back, and swan
with the food, hoping to strike tree or
some other safe refuge After struggling
for five hundred yards he caught by the
water tank, on Halls Island, and at least
ten times he endeavored to get hold of
it, but the waves washed him away. His
wife entreated him to let her 60 and save
himself. "You are not prepared to die,
my dear husband, and ! trust that am, y
were her words. He next caught the
branches Of floating tree, on which he
supported himself for few minutes, and
lifting up his wifes head, which he had
been unable to keep above the water, he
found that she was dead.

one to the best Of his ability, placing en-.
tire confidence in his choice. The rec
ommendation and choice Of the young
lady are generally made through the
missionary. az the clergy, Of course, are
supposed 10 know tho characters Of the
fair flock. As soon as all the necessary
preliminaries have been arranged, the
young lady takes her departure for her
northern home with the first brigade
of boats that leaves the settlement
for that district After a six or
eight weeks voyage she meets her
future lord and husband, and gets mar
red to him, after halfhour's acquaint-
ance, by the minister who is Waiting her
arrival The distance is perhaps not so
great as that of our fair friend who went
off to China; but if one takes into con-
sideration that those voyages Of six
weeks to the McKenzis River District
are made in open row boats, with moth
ing but the open stern sheets to sit in
during the day and canvas tent for the
night to sleep under, with the disagreea-
BILE accompaniment of myriads of mos
quitoes to torment them the whole of the
long voyage, the boldness of the under
taking and experiment Of accepting
husband in that crude fashion is some
what more yenturous and daring than
most of the young ladies of these more
Southern climes would like to hazard
their happiness on. This fashion Of get
ting wife chosen for them is by no
means uncommon among the officials Of
TIE Hudson's Bay Companys service,
especially those who are quartered in
the very remote districts referred to-.

pure Indian women, who formerly were

Since the Red River District, however,

fair white and halfbreed women

Dante, Mcfarland Dead Drunk.

From the New York Tribune, 19th.l
Patrolman Carrick, of the Twentieth

tieth.street about pm yesterday, upon
nearing Sixth avenue saw man meand-
ering toward him with most unsteady feet,
whose torn and blood-stained clothing
and besotted face, cut here and there as
If by fall, told the tale of common
drunkard. The officer caught hold of
the man and asked him his name, but his
mumbled and inc9herent reply could not
be understood, and he accordingly took
his prisoner to the Jefferson Market Po-
lice Court. Here the drunken man was
placed in what is known as the cage,
where, on one of its sGooden benches, he
was left to repose during a recess in the
session of tho court. At 4 o'clock the
drunkard had sufficiently recovered his
senses to be brought before Justice Fow-
Ter. The officer stated the facts Of the
arrest, and said that at the time he made
the arrest the prisoner was in immediate
danger of falling through cellar Of
great depth.
The prisoner seemed to resent this in
slnuatlon as 10 Ills physical mlllblllty,
and said, in loud tone of voice, that
his name was Daniel Mcfarland, and
that he had escaped greater dangers
than the one that threatened him in fall
ing down cellar Placing his hand in
his coat pocket, after moments search,
he held un a package OF letters, saying
that he was the man who shot Albert ID.

Justice Fowler refused to read the
letters, saying that they did not disprove
the fact of his being drunk in the streets,
and asked how il Was that he had cut his
face and head. Mcfarland answered
that he had learned how to drink in con-
sequence of his sorrows, had imbibed a
little that afternoon to drown unpleasant
thoughts, and had fallen down near
Woods Mpseug and had his face cut
on the pavement The examination of
the prisoner was then adjourned until
nine clock this morning, in the mean
while to be incarcerated in cell of the
