A Catastrophe at Niagara Falls.

At quarter past four o'clock yes
terday afternoon three we'll dressed
young men, whose respective ages were
from about twenty to tewEty-fve years,
presented themselves at Walkers boat
house, half mile above the Catarct
House, at Niagara Fall, and asked
Mrs. Walker, who was in attendance,
to let them have boat. She at first
refused, but upon their assurance that
they were only going to small island
in the river to take a swim, and they
would keep near the shore, they were
allowed to depart. The boat was a
fat-bottom scow, and in it they row.
ed to the Island. From there they
started straight across the river, with
the evident intention ef reaching the
Canada shore, never once showing any
disposition to head up the stream. The
current, as matter Of course, swept
them toward the rapids Of the horse
fall, and soon after striking them the
boat capsized, and the three men were
carried over the catarct. They were
not seen after the boat capsized. The
names OF the men are unknown. One
of the men wore blue suit, with a
light colored soft hat; the second had
on brown suit, with a brown cap !;
and the third wore an old overcoat,
had a respectable but under coat. One
of the party just before starting in the
doomed boat, said to n little boy, "If
any old man comes along and asks if
you have seen any thing Of US, tell
him Mop
1t looks very much like as if the
young men were escaping into Canana
to eySde the vigilance Of-the officers
of the law on this side, and had neith-
er the time or the courage to use the
ordinary means of transportation. A
few days will probably clear up the
mystery.-Bg6atO Courier.

President CorreorO Of PaSama, has
raised forced loan of SSO,OOO IN
rather novel manner. lie invited
number of the wealtb!est native citi-
Gems to meeting-sstensibly to dis
cuss the best means of placing the
Government in fands. Once met, he
placed soldiers at the doors of the Ca
bildo, with olders to allow no one out
of the building. He then informed
the gentlemen present that circum-
stances over which he had no control
compelled him to adopt this extreme
step, and to retain them all under
guard until they made up $4,000.
Disgust was of course expressed at
this demand, and some suggested a
unanimous refusal to pay cent, but
by evening Correoro held promissory
notes for the amount required, and the
lenders returned to their homes. Pres
ident Correoro intends with this money
to purchase arms and artillery in the
United States, and the Governor OF
Panama, Senior Losa, will leave tor
New York by the Ocean Queen to
buy them,

BAKED PoTAToEs. Potatoes arc moro
nutritious baked than they are cooked in
any other manner; and they relish better
with those who have not been accustomed
to eat them without seasoning. Wash them

as quickly as possible without burning in
the least. AS soon as they arc done, press
each potato in a cloth 80 as to crack tho

this is omitted, the best potatoes will not be

ately to the table, as they will soon become
solid and lose their flavor.
