A Cowardly Fellow Risking the
Lives of a SatliuQ PARTY.

A pleasure party had a narrow escape
from drowning last Saturday at Lake
George. Three gentlemen and two ladies
were in sail boat, and when in front of
Fourteen Mile Island sudden gust of wind
capsized the craft and the party fell into
the water. They chung to the bottom of
the boat. Their screams for help brought
relief from the island-a boat rowcd by
Bradley, the proprietor. lie had no soon
or reached those in the water than one of
the number made plunge for the boat,
and in an instant turned IL bottom side up.
Bradley, to save himself, struck out for the
shore, which he reached in safety. Very
fortunately a gentleman was within hail
ing distance, fishing, (NIr. M. L. Bannon
of Glens Falls) and he responded to the
cries for help. When nearing the party he
cautioned them to let the ladies get in first,
and that if they attempted to seize his
craft 1t would swamp, and perhaps drown
them all. Notwithstanding his precaution,
the same cowardly individual who tipped
| over the other boat seized Mr. BIS, even
before the ladies were secured, and the
consequence was almost fatal. BY extra.
| ordinary effort all were got in safely and
landed, not before the brawny heavy weight
| by his excitement, almost threw the whole
party into the water. One of the ladies
was quite exhausted when relief came.
They belong at Bolton. Mr.. Bannon is

PRoGRRss oE THE BREcHKR SCANDAL
CAsR.-After Mr.. West, who was at one
time deacon in Plymouth Church, had
presented on Friday evening last his
charges against Henry G.. Bowen to the
Examining Committee, II was suggested
that matters would be materially simphfied
If Mr.. West could make them more
specific, and indicate also what proof he
had to command. Mr.. West has since
that time devoted himself to the task, and
assures his fellow members that he will
not rest until he "brings forth judgement
unto victory" for Beecher. Mr.. West will
present Tilton's celebrated letter among
other evidences, and it is said that his list
of witnesses will include Horace b. Claflin,
Tennie Claflin, James McDermott, a
Baooklyn editor; Gordon L. Ford, and
Theodore Titon. Mr.. Claflin may not be
needed, and his name is on the list solely
that he may be questioned as to Bowen's
motive in visiting Miss Claflin and her sister
on Wednesday last in case the committee
are not willing to examine the ladies on the
same point. The committee will meet in a
few days.-N. Y. Sun.

VERY SUGGESTIVE farmer residing in
the town of Ira was possessed, previous to
the 18th of March last, of large dog,
which, however, like all things earthly,
could not live forever, but on the date
mentioned breathed his last, gave up the
chase and entered into the enjoyments of
'dog-heaven. His bereaved master with
due reverence, laid the remains of the ami
NAL in the depths of large snow bank
near by, and when spring had nearly pass
ed and the snow had melted away, the
farmer thinking of the large pelt that
could be saved, went to the burial-place of
poor "Bose" for the purpose of securing
the hide and burying the carcass. On arriv-
ing at the spot he found the snow bank
gone, and also missing the body of the
dog. But what still more surprised his
wondering eyes, as he looked around, was
to see beneath the fence-a sausaae-cutter!
The machine was good one and looked as
If it had been used in its legitimate bust
ness. The farmer shouldered the mute de-
stroyer of flesh and blood and meditatively
walked home, understanding not the mis-
placed condition of things, although the
connection of the implement with the dead
animal was strikingly suggestive. He now
asserts, with great vehemence, as did the
man that Sam Weller tells us about, that
he will never, never be guilty of eating any
more sausage, despite the fact that butch
er plies his trade hard by and sausages are
cheap and plenty. But he now advertises
the sausage-cutter that its owner may prove
property, pay charges and take it away.
The butcher, by the way, lives but
short distance from Rutland.
