DANGERS OF THE ALps.-A correspon-

DANGERS OF THE ALPs.-A correspon.
d mt from Switzerland writes of recent fa-
tai disasters in the vicinity Of Mont Blanc
"a gentleman, with his bride and lady
friend, made the ascension to the Grands
Muets, which is six thousand five hun
DR. feet above the Valley of Chamounix.
The day was so fine that when there, urged
by the ladies, whom, with the guide, be
| left behind him, he started to make the
ascension of Mont Blanc. Shortly after
he left them, becoming cold, all three went
out for a walk, tied together as they al
ways are, for greater security in the
mountain excursions. Walking upon
the ice and snow crust the guide offered
his arm to the wife, who had hardly
accepted it when, owing either to the
softening of the crust by the heat,
or cracking from the weight or the
formation of creyasse, both the guide
and wife disappeared, the friend only es-
Gaping their fate by the breaking of the
rope. Disappearing thus instantly in
place which did not seem dangerous, they
have never been seen nor found, though
eight of the guides, at the risk Of their
lives, went down into the crevasse sixty
feet--in fact, made attempts until the gov
ernment forbade any more-as the lives
of others were perilled for those that had
been lost. The lady who was left, scream
ed and remained ON the spot till the gen.
tleman returned to find that he had lost
wife and bride in the enjoyment of full
health only half an hour previously. Such
are the dangers of ascending Mont Blanc,
where no amount of foresight Or experience
can foretel the accidents which may hap
pen at any time with loss of life to some
or all of those engaged.
"Other accidents have happened-in-
deed, every year one or more persons lose
their lives upon this mountain. Captain |
Albright and four guides were lost in 1866. |
A bride in going across the Tete Noire-
one of the direct routes to Martiny-slip- |
ped from her horse, unknown to the guide |
who was leading him, and falling down a
steep precipice, was never found. An |
American who sat next me at table gave |
me an account Of crossing the Glacier des
Boissons, where the glacier having changed |
so much since the guide had been there
necessitated leaving him constantly to go |
ahead and discover the way that might be
the safest. While he was gone some FIVE
or ten minutes at time, if anything had
happened to the guide the gentleman must
have been lost, for he had neither tools
for making or assisting his way, nor ex-
perience."

The CulOeat Laa0.--A number of real
estate owners and agents of real estate were
before Police Justice Joseph j. White at noon
to-day, at his Office at Old Market Hall, to
show cause why they should not be fined for
failing and neglecting to obey that portion OF
a recent ordinance of the City Council, which
requires that any person owning house and
lot fronting on a street through which a cul-
vert shall run, shall connect such house and
lot with the same, under penalty of fine if they
neglect so to do after three months notice of
the Councils requirement by the City En-
gineer. The summons against the property
holders was heard on its general merits for
several hours, and was adjourned to more
convenient season before definite conclusion
was arrived at.

The Steamer Isaac Ben.-We learn that
the above elegant steamship which was so
severely injured by collision at sea few
weeks ago, has been thoroughly repaired. and
has resumed her regular trips between New
York and this city. The damage she sustained
by her accident, although very heavy, was
less than her owners feared at the time-the
cost of repairs being only about thirty thou
sand dollars. Had she not been very staunch
and sea-worthy vessel she would have been
totally wrecked BY her recent collision.
