AcCIDENT.-On Thursday last, about
half past o'clock, Mr. Oliver Hoham. OF
this city met with severe accident, which
came nigh proving fatal. lie was near
Leesburgh, in koscusko county, putting
up eavestroughs for Robert Long, on 4
two and half story brick dwelling. The
scaifolding on which Mr. Hoham and a
young man by the name of John Westley
were at work, gave way without the
slightest warning, and fell to the guound,
injuring Mr.. Hoham in his face, side of his
head and back. Fortunately no bones
were broken. His assistant was not so
fortunate. His left leg Vas broken, and
had two of his teeth knocked loose. 1t is
a wonder that they were not both killed
by the fall, which was distance of TWEEN
ty-five feet
Mr.. Hoham is at home and able 10 be
on the street, but in crippled condition.
He will probably be well in short time,
as he is young and has q good constiiu-
tion.

THE WIrHERINa LEAVES.
BY 7. BucHANAN READ.

BY T. BUCHANAN READ.
The summer is gone and the autumn is
here,
And the flowers are strewing their earth
ly bier
A dreary mist DER the woodland swim 3,
While rattle the nuts from the windy
limbs
From bough to bough the squirrels run,
At the noise of the hunters echoing
gun,
And the partridge fees where my foot
steps hcaves
The rustling of the whitening leaves.
The focks pursue their southern flight
Some all the day and some all the night;
And up from the wooded marshes come
The sound OF the pheasant's feathered
drum,
On the highest bough the mourner
crow
Sits in his funeral suit of woe;
All nature mourns and my spirit grieves
AT the noise of my feet in the whitening
leaves.
oh, sigh for the days that have pass
ed away,
When my life like the year had its sea
son of May
When the world was all sunshine and
beauty and truth,
And the dew bathed my feet in the val
ley of youth
Then my heart felt its wings, and no
bird of the sky
Sang over the flowers more Joyous than I,
But youth is fable, and beauty deceives;
For my footsteps are loud in the wither-
ing leaves.
And I sigh for the time when the reap
ers at morn
Came down from the hill at the sound
of the horn
Or when dragging the rake, followed
them out
While they tossed the sheaves with
their laughter about
Through the field with boy daring,
barefooted l ran;
But the stubble foreshadowed the path
of the man,
Now the uplands of life lie all barren of
sheaves
While my footsteps are loud in the
whitening leaves

OCEAN CABLES.

Some readers have doubtless been at
a loss to know how the shore operators,
in the event of fracture of an ocean
cable, are enabled to ascertain at what
point the break lies, so that a repairing
vessel can be sent directly to the broken
or damaged portion. With the aid of
the Philadelphia Ledger we offer the
following explanation
Every part of the long distance of
wire and every fathom of the vast abyss
of water are within the reach of the
electricians instrumental hands, and
within the ken of his scientific eye 1t
is quite practicable for him to "locate
the fault or break within half-mile of
its actual position, no matter where it
be. Although these far-reaching pow
ers are among the great marvels of mod
ern science, the means aud the prin-
ciples through which they are exercised
are the simplest things when seen and
understood. A Geographic wire will
transmit an electro magnetic wave of
current" in proportion to the square of
its diameter. The resistance of the
transmission of the waves diminishes in
propOrtOu as tue oquuio VI tno 'iiuuetSi
is increased. This is one law for the
electrician. The second is that the re-
sistance to the transmission of the waves
increases in direct proportion to the
length of the wire or cable over which
it is sent. These two laws furnish the
bases for the electricians observations,
calculations and results.
He knows to start with, the precis g
amount of resistance that mile of cable
will oppose to the transmission of a
given quantity of electro motive force.

He has delicate and wonderful instru-
ments made by expert machinists, that
enable him to measure this with ac-
curacy for half mile or ten thousand
miles. Having this knowledge and these
measuring instruments, and having con-
troll of the quantity of electricity he is
putting on the wire, he is able to calcu-
late to nicely how many miles Of cable
it is transmitted over before it encoun-
tiers a greater resistance than that which
is due to the length and diameter of the
cable itself. At or near the number of
miles from land, and two miles under
the surface of the sea, the fault or
break the electrician is in search of will
be found.

Nobody in the neighborhood could tell.
Seldom was any person seen to enter,

ions regarding the visitors to strange,

curly hair, high cheek bones, with n

lady, not known in the neighborhood,

AS far as her neighbors were concern
ed she lived there as if she lived not,
isolated from all intercourse with them,
for she did not seek the society of those
residing around her. This woman, it
turns out, was the physician and was
the lessee of the house. Two years ago
she removed and set up a candy store
adjoining the public school in Erie
street. A notice in the window set forth
that she was clairvoyant and had fur
nished rooms to let. Frederick Crozier

Into this den there entered on Monday
of last week two Newarkers, one stout,
respectable looking middle-aged mar,
the other slim, delicate young woman
of twenty. A consultation was held
the man departed and the nnsuspectipg
young girl tripped up the stairs and en-

man visited her ON Thursday last and
she informed him that the Madame
swore her to secrecy under penalty OF
exposure. But the young woman had
no one else to confide in, and she re-

A STRANGE MURDER.

The engineer of an eastern-bound
train on the Erie railroad reported on
Sunday night, as he arrived at Pater-
son, that while near Hawthorne, two
miles west of Paterson, he saw two men
fighting on the track. AS the locomo-
tive approached one of the men sudden
ly pushed the other directly in front OF
it, and the wheels passed over him. On
account of the heavy grade the engineer
did not stop the train.
A locomotive was sent back. AS it
approached the spot q man was seen
skulking away in the darkness. The
body was found near the track, head
less. Several feet distant the head was
found. The wheels had passed over
the neck The remains were taken to
Paterson and it is supposed that the
man was Michael Clinton, a miner OF
Sterling Furnace, New York. He was
arrested in Paterson ON Saturday night
for drunkenness, and was released on
Sunday. He said that he had seventy
five dollars concealed by the roadside
near Paterson. On Sunday night he
and companion were elected from an
Erie railway car for intoxication and
disorder.
AT daybreak yesterday morning James
Malone, who says that he lives in Forty
second street, New York, was arrested
near the spot where the body was found.
He was in the act of cooking parts of a
sheep over wood fire. The sheep was
stolen from neighboring slaughter
house some time in the night. He an
swers to the description Of the man
whom the engineer saw fighting with
the victim, the man who was seen sneak
ing away from the body, and the man
who was elected from the Car with Gin
ton. He is tail and gaunt, about thirty
five years old, and has black hair and
beard.
