There is queer story among the Cincin-
natl German printers in regard to Charles
Boehler. of their number, who recently died
of delirium tremens, and friend of his
named Chris. Stieler. Some three years
ago, as the story runs, Stieler, who was at
that time accustomed to work at the same
desk with Boehler, gathered group about
him in beer saloon and told them he had
had a dream the night before, in the course
of which he had seen, slowly drawn before
him by black-plumed horses, hearse, con-
tanning a full-length coffin, on which was in
scribed, in large letters, CHARLES Boehler
July TO-" Boehler was told of this dream
which ever hfterward affected him as
prophecy. Sure enough, he died and was
buried July 10. 1t is supposed by his friends
that the very dread Of his approaching
doom drove him to the liquor which really
caused his death by delirium tremens.

1t is stated that & young man has made
an engagement to drop himself from the
new Niagara Suspension Bridge into the
river beneath, distance of two hundred
feet, on the thirteenth of August next, for
the sum of $4,000. A Frenchman recently
had an accident in that vicinity which is
interesting in this connection. He. was
travelling with tame bear, the latter being
on exhibition as a means of support to him
self and master. The Frenchman took a
nap one day on the bank OF the river, close
to Suspension Bridge. having first tied the
bear to stump. When the master awOke
he found that the stump, being rotten, had
yielded to the efforts of the bear, who
wished to go down to the river and sue
ceeded. The remains of the bear tioated
ashore some distance down stream, and the
Frenchman has had the skin stuffed. Will
the heirs of the youth of the thirteenth of
August, if the SIC, 900 is paid, do as much for
his cuticle.

Long Bottom, Meigs county, was disturbed
by nuisance in the shape OF whisky boat.
and no one else being willing to abate it,
the ladies took hold of the matter. They
selves each with an apron full of rocks, pro-
ceeded to the landing, united the boat,
showed it off, and then commenced its bonn
bardment, and, says a correspondent of the
Pomeroy Telegraph, perhaps no boat ever
got such pelting with rOck-the ladies fol-
lowing the boat for over one half-mile be-
fore the owner was allowed to land his boat

THE WEST POINT INvEsTIGATioN-The
Cincinnati Gazette says editorially, under
the head '.West Point Blackguards:
West Point is supported by the govern
ment. There young men are educated free
Of charge. Recently colored man was APP
pointed a cadet He passed An examination
and was admitted. Thereupon the white
cadets, or portion Of them, began to per-
secute him, and he being only one while
they were many, it was supposed he would
be driven from the institution. Finally the
officers took the matter in hand, and Con-
gress ordered an investigation. This gave
to the affair serious turn, and the young
blackguards who prosecuted the young man
because of his color began to beg to be for
given, and ask the victim of their meanness
to withdraw the charges. This, it is to be
hoped, will not be done. Let the investiga-
ton go on, and let the guilty be punished by
expulsion from the institution. Young men
who will combine to prosecute one man be-
cause of his color, have bad blood in their
veins, and should never be permitted to
wear the insignia of an American soldier.
Let the institution be purged Of at least the
leaders of this cowardly affair.

from the Mediterranean to the narrow seas.
The echoes Of that blast will come back
