Niagara Falls Dry for a Day.

The winter of lS4S had been intensely
cold, and the ice formed on Lake Erie
was very thick. This was loosened
around the shores by the warm days of
early spring. During the day stiff
easterly W nd moved the whole field up
the lake. A out shutdown the wind
chopped suddenly around and blew a
gale from the west. This brought the
vast tract of ice down again with such
tremendous force that il filled the neck
of the lake, and the outlet, so that the
outflow of the wat,I was very greatly
impeded. OF course 1t only needed
very short space of time for the falls to
drain off the water below Black Rock.
The consequence was that. when we
arose in the morning at Niagara, we
found that our river was nearly hall
gone. The American channel had
dwind!ed TO a respectable creek. The
British channel looked as though it had
been smitten with quick consumption
and was fast passing away. Far up from
the head of Goat Island, and out into
the Canadian rapids, the water was
gone, as it was also from the lower end
of Goat Island, out beyond the tower.
The rocks were bare, black, and forbid.
ding. The roar Of Niagara had subsidized
almost TO moan. The scene was desc
late, and but for its novelty and the GER
tainty that it would change before many
hours. would have been gloomy and sad
dening. Every person who has visited
Niagara will remember beautiful jet OF
water which shoots up out OF the water
about forty rods south OF the outer SIS
ter in the great rapids, called, with
singular contradiction of terms, the
" Leaping Rock" The writer drove a
buggy from near the head of Goat
Island out to point above and near to
that jet. With log cart and four
horses he had drawn from the outside of
the outer island stick Of pine timber,
hewed twelve inches square and forty
feet long. From the top OF the middle
island was drawn larger stick, hewed
on one side, and sixty feet long. There
are few places on the globe where per-

above the brink of the Horseshoe fall.
All the eople of the neighborhood
were abroad exploring recesses and
cavities that had never before been eN.
posed to mortal eyes. The writer went
some distance up the shore of the river.
Large fields at The muddy bottom lay
bare. The singular syncope Of the
waters lasted all the day, and night
closed over the strange scene. But In
the morning our river was restored in
all its strength, beauty, ana majesty,
and we were glad TO welcome its swell.

Railroad Disaster.

On Friday morning last our townman
Mr.. S. Ii. Cherryholmes, while return
ing from New York, made very mar
row escape with his life. About nine
miles on this side of Johnstown, Pa,
the Express train coming west was
wrecked at seven o'clock. The-eause
was broken rail. The engine and six
front cars kept the track, while the three
rear cars-Palace sleeping cars-went
off, throwing them down an embank-
ment some fifty feet. The first of the
three cars, in which Mr.. Cherryholmes
was sleeping went down endwise and
struck through the ice on the Cone
maugh river. No one was badly in
jured in this car. Mr.. C. escaped un-
hurt with the exception of a few
scratches. The other cars were badly
broken up. Two persons were killed
and fourteen were injured, some of
whom it is thought will not recover.

A Suggestion.

We offer the following from the
Springfield Republic as a suggestion to
our capitalists and business men. II
we ever expect to increase the popula-
ton and importance ofMillersburg, we
must hold forth some inducement for
outside capitalists to come here and in
vest their money. The Republic says:
We ought to have in Springfield an
organization of manufacturers, trades
men and capitalists, with regular or oc-
casional meetings, at which various
projects for the material and general
interests of the city could be discussed.
These classes of men are organized in
Columbus, and express the determine
tion that that city shall double its pop
ulation within the next ten years. Ev-
cry manufacturer who is willing to To-
cate there, and can make a good eX-
hibition for his products, is at once sup
piled with CAPITAL and personal coop
Grafton. We ought to have something
of the same kind, only on larger scale.
Some eastern city corporations offer
sites and houses, to manufacturers who
will locate within their limits. Spring
field is an enterprising city, but there
are some features in which other towns
eclipse her.

Talk up your Town.

Talk up and work up Your town, and
your own townsinen and business. Give
encouragement 10 every useful and
tereditable enterprise in your midst, for
just as certain as effect follows cause,
so certain will every enterprise of merit
repay every citizen. We cannot live
unto ourselves, and we cannot discour-
age any movement in behalf of place,
without infiicting upon ourselves per-
sonal injury. Denouncing the place
where We live as odd fogy,' 'one-horse,
or any such slang terms, is calculated
to bring about just such condition of
things as we denounce.
IL you see a needed improvement for
the city or town, demand it, and talk it
up vigorously, until the whole commu-
nifty is impregnated with the idea-un-
til storm of public sentiment compels
the work. Don't stop because some
wretched mummy, out of whom has
withered all public spirit and love of
advancement moans out his sepulchral
whine, 'It won't pay" Show to your
live fellows that it will pay and leave
the mummy to his embalmed and swad-
died dust and stupidity, and by and by
you will see the result of your courage
and talk in universal Improvement, in
creased facilities and business, and a
broad, genial, liberal public spirit, that
pervades and WHITES and makes beau
tiful every place where it enters.

Examinations,

Citizens of Millersburg, your Super
intendent is happy to be able to an
nounce to you that the examinations in
the Union Schools were every way sat-
isfactory. The committees unanimous
ly express the highest degree of ap-
proval, both of the examinations, and
the general discipline, conduct and
healthy condition of the schools. With
out a single exception, the schools show
decided improvement on their condi-
ton last year. The course during the
past year has been raised in all the
schools so that now a scholar who has
fully graduated in our schools is abund-
antly prepared to enter any college in
our land.
The course now, in the opinion of the
Superintendent, is as high as it ought
to be, he believing that it is not the
province of high school to encroach
in any degree upon a college course.
The course now finishes with Geome-
try, Trigonometry and Mensuration in
Mathematics, with Virgil in Latin, An
abasis in Greek, the elements of Chem
istry and Philosophy, Green's Analysis
and Gyot's High School Geography. {.
The number of pupils now in the
schools amounts to four hundred and
fifty, n considerable increase on the at
tendance last year. There is still large
room for improvement. We have not
yet been able to get the above course
under full headway; but if next session
opens up with as prosperous omens, and
we continue to enjoy the hearty coope-
ration of the Board and citizens, which
I'VE have always enjoyed in the past, we
have no doubt that the end will find us
far ahead of our present position. The
committees at our last examinations
were as follows:
High School-Rev. W. NJ. Gibson, Il.

in attendance. Prof. w. 1. Brugh has
resigned and the Board have not yet
chosen his successor. Prof. Henderson

Mourning their Loss,

The following from the Carroll cOun.
ty Chronicle, explains the situation o.
many i'm this county:
A great many of the farmers who
purchased packages of shoddy clothes
from itinerant peddlers the past weeI
or so, have become pretty sick of theil
"bargains. One has concluded he
"was swindled just one half" another
who paid $50 for 4 pack thinks that
'about $92 of it was profit to the ped
dlers;" another says, "the peddler that
sold to me told but one truth while in
my house and that was "that one pack
would last Il man 4 life time;" and
John AfcBurney thinks one pack will
suffice for the balance of his natural
life; another got his bundle invoiced,
and the highest retail rates made it
worth $S5.63, though he paid $50;
many more would have theirs invoiced
but fear to think of the result. Alto
gether the farmers of this county have
been warped out of about $1,000, near
one-half of which may be considered a
donation to travelling sharks they will
never see again, who left comparatively
little money in the town, and who have
not nor ever will pay one cent of tax or
donation towards railroad, a church,
or charitable purpose, that would ben
eft the community. Many farmers
have actually given more to these men
than they would subscribe towards a
railroad that would give them a good
market and enhance the value of their
farms ut least one-fourth.

4 couple of young chaps came in on
the Napoleon train on Tuesday last, to
see the sights, and have little fun in
Millersburg. They expected when they
landed, to have about four hours time
to do all this in, before they would be
called upon to return. Their first stop
ping place was the Book Store, where
one of them got hold of a cheap fiddle
and began saving away, whilst his
friend kept time with his jaws and
feet. They were happy. Four hours
! of such happiness was to be theirs be-
fore the train would return. 1t was
enough. So much happiness was NOT
often allowed to man on earth. But,
alas, when they had their enjoyment
worked up to its zenith and were drink
ing it in in great draughts, some wag
told them that the train had changed
time-that il would be off in about five
minutes. One repeated this astounding
news to his friend, and there was run
ning-such running as was never seen
OH the streets of Millersburg before.
Now on the sidewalk, now in the street.
On, on they sped. Mud was no obsta-
Gle, drays were not in the way. They
cleared both At bound. Men held their
breath rs they saw them running, sup
posing them to be thieves, and boys
holloed, &C." thinking they were run
ming a race. Excited and covered with
sweat, they reached the depot. They
rush for the door of the ear and find it
locked. On inquiry they were told it
would not start for three or four hours
yet. Then there was swearing-such
swearing, such execration and impre-
cation of all liars as was never heard
before in that quarter.

New Presbyterian Church.

At o'clock on Friday last the Trus:
tees and number of the supporters OF
the Presbyterian church met in the Of
flee of d. S. Uhl, Esq, to take the in
itiatory step towards building 4 new
church edifce in the place of the old
one just destroyed by fire. The meet
ing was organized by calling d. 5. Uhl,
Esq. to the chair, and appointing L. B.
Cunningham and Judge Estill as Secre-
taries. The chair stated the object of
the meeting to be the erection of a new
church, and to find out just what kind
of Il building was wanted and the best
manner of getting at it. 1t was agreed
by motion that immediate steps be ta-
ken to erect new house, and that this
house be of brick. 1t was then thought
best that committee be appointed to
make an estimate of the probably cost.
A committee of six was appointed, con-
sisting of Robt. Long, Judge Reed, j. E
Koch, ,sr, Rev. A. S. Milholland, j. Z. Lar
