his haads, forty feat above the street,
utterly unable 10 regain his footing
Underneath where the boy was hanging
WAS small, old fashioned porch which
projected out about three feet from un-
der the centre window of the second
story. Out OF this window man
emerged and looked up. AS he stood
he WAS Immediately under the boy, but
too close to the house for his apparent
purpose; the body hanging just over
the railing, he stepped over the latter,
and with his feet resting upon the edge
of the platform Of the porch and one

In the meantime, two men had reach
ed the roof, and were d.ecsM@ing, when
they discovered the impossibility of
resahing the BOY in safety, and one Of
them called foT rope. Before any one

man on the porch, the latter was seen
to reach out his free arm under him. A

out unusual delay, although everybody
was convinced that that course would
prevent any action whatever on the

Mr. Dawes made speech, which. was

Ter, of course, advocated the resolution;
so did Bingham but the anti-Adminis-
