MARROW EsCAPE.-R. n. Waterman, ESQ,
City Clerk, made quite Il narrow escape from
losing his life on Wednesday evening. In com.
pany with Mr.. Geo. Beatty, ne had gone into a
lower story OF the starch factory to take bath.
There ia . place there where, by sitting down
near the hume and pulling ont couple of plugs,
a fine stream OF water rushes out which can be
taken ss \ shower bath, while sitting down on
the large iron water pipe lying along the floor
foot or two in front Of the aume Thus the two
were sitting costly taking the cool water and
heap Of comfort, when Mr.. Beatty became con.
scious that his companion had disappeared. and
he looked around just in time to see his heels
disappear through an opening between the pipe
they we're sitting on and the Aume. It WAS
nearly dark, and the hole into which Mr.. Water.
man had disappeared was as dark as Erebus
NJ. Beatty saw ct glance that there was no
hope for his friend unless tho Aew of water down
the hole vas stopped, sad he rssolutely held his
hssds over the opsaiags IRON which the plugs
had bsss renewed, wAils 10 called Justify for
help. Fortunately help vss ct hand. Several
mon. with Lantern ip hand, sought the open
space some - Sest bslow ints which Mr.. Water.
man had fallen. where they found HIM still con.
soious and clineias ipr lite to some iron rods.
WAs~ lasuasd As isinted svxy, but s,on again

That Secret Treaty.

In the confusion and Vsgudness Of the
kilograms, Il appeared at first that The
secret treaty projected between France
and PRUSSIA was of recent date, that 1t
was proposed shortly before the recent
quarrel. Out Of this confusion and pe5j
ness the fact has atlength been developed
that this treaty was proposed by France
in 1868, at tho time Of tho Prusso-Austtian
quarrel, and 9t time when France re-
garded the PruSsiAn advantages over
Austria with great Jealousy, and was not
unwilling herself to quarrel with Bis.
MARcK for the sake Of compromising Ber-
sell with some German territory On the
left bank of the Rhine. The existence Of
proposed treaty, granting the fortress Of
Luxembourg to France and pledging the
aid of Prussia 10 the. absorption Of
Belgium by France, in consideration Of
q French recognition Of Prussfan acquiSi-
tons from Austria, is not denied either at
Berlin orParis; but the French journals
claim that the treaty, was proposed by
Prussia, while a Berlin paper, says the
treaty was proposed by NAPOLEON; that
the minutes Of it are still preserved in the
war office there in the handwriting Of
BENEDErrI, the French Ambassador; and
that the Emperor waived oil opposition to
German unifcation provided Prussia
would abet the French acquisition Of
Luxembourg and tho reduction Of Bel.
gium. The British Minister at Berlin
has telcgrNphed TO the English Govern.
mcnt Il similar statement in regard 10 the
existence Of the original treaty in BENZ
DETrI's handwriting. J7iH
Flow fur the Prussian Government then
entertained this proposition, itmust'be tIiC.
liculL now to ascertain, because Prussia
could not DO expected to make my ad.
missions in regard to it. 1t is only GER
tain she did not agree to it. Had the
treaty been made known then, 1t must
have resulted In n general brotl, Just rs,
such proposition must ii made now; but
we do not see that this disclosure now oil
that uniriendliness and duplicity then
need necessarily involve. England In the
present quarrel between the two powers,
then cotispirtng against Belgium. The pres
cnt publication ofthc memorandum, there
is 10 reason 10 doubt, is made at the in.
stance Of the Prussian Government, in
order to expose the greed and duplicity Of
NAPOLEON, and moro especially to enlist
England against him by showing that he
was willing to break his alliance with
her and seize Belgium, had Prussia not
refused consent The treaty proposed
was not only All infraction. Of friendship
with England, but in direct DEFIANCE Of
her power, and BISMARCK has certainly
thrown IL bomb shell into NAPoLEoN's
diplomatic camp by its publication. Ma
ro1EoN will, however. doubtless be able
to furnish some plausible explanation, but
will hardly succeed in lulllng the. shspi-
cious hostility Of john BULL, now so
thoroughly aroused, d, j,

Convention held at West Union WedIes.
day. Should tho Register desire to print a
full and satisfactory report, It is at liberty
to copy from tho INTEILIeENcRR. Some
comment may be found elsewhere upon
the chief work Of the Convention! We
wish only TO note hero some minor points
that seem worthy of mention twill be
perceived from the list Of delegates report
cd as present by the Committee (Which
however, we are satisfied, embraces
some not prcscnt) that the Convention as
whole was not large. twill be seen,
also, that the representation is very III.
regular. Some counties have but two or
three delegates, sonic only one, and some
none. No delegates were present from
Hancock, Wetzel, Writ, or Calhoun, and,
we presume, none from Gilmer, as the
gentleman . who did Tho, voting for that
county and Calhoun Is put down US ''al.
ternate." Here was a third Of the dis
trict unrcprcsCntcd. Then the large
county of Marshall had but a single
man present, and whether lie had any
authority to act we don't know. Our
ftiCnd SIMPSON; from this county, had to
represent both Ohio and Hancock; Mr..
OBEY JOHNSON, Of Wood, did the voting
for Win, and SEr. RArcLlFFE, from
somewhere, Votcd Tor Calhoun and Gil
mcr. A nomination made by such voting
as this does not seem to us us to Represent
very much sentiment. The result may
DO satisfactory to tho party, but the party,
had very little to do with bringing It
about. .,l'tr.. n
The responsibility OF Mr.. DAVIS noml.
nation may DO fairly laid on two Of the
delegates from this county, who could
have given Mr.. SWEENEY tic nomination
on the final ballot II they had chosen.
Their ten votes would have nominated
him; but, they preferred to give them

candidate was beaten by his own dele.
