Union river is again being filled up with mill
refuse three years after the Govt at large
expense, cleared out the channel, thus rem
dering the appropriation nearly useless. The
Legislature refused to create board of Har-
Dor Commissioners at its last session, one of
whose duties it would be to enforce the State
laws against such reckless proceeding on the
part of mill owners. Next year it is to be
hoped that the necessity of such board will
be appreciated and the necessary legislation
secured. As it is, the expenditures of the
Government in clearing out rivers, is little
better than thrown away.

A CHURCH INCIDENT.-In one of the loveliest
villages in Oxford county the thrifty parish
oners of pretty little church have recently
reprinted and revarnished the pews There
is, however some imperfection about the work,
as the varnish does not harden. Last Sabbath
evening there was temperance lecture and
while the speaker warmed in his subject the
varnish on the,pews occupied by his hearers
also warmed so that when the audience at the
close were invited to rise and assist in singing
"Nearer my God to Thee, there were a hun
bred frantic efforts to rise, the pews evidently.
desiring to join in the exercise of rising if not
singing Several fine dresses were torn and one
young man Respondent in new summer panta-
looms, had his Sunday evening hopes blasted
by leaving very essential portion thereof on
the pew Little boys and young men won't
be likely to go out during service time in that
church this summer and so far as the pews are
concerned there won't be any backsliding
among its members,
CHANGES AT NIAGARA.-A correspondent of
the New York Evening Post, notes visible
changes in the contour of Niagara Falls. The
Horse Shoe Fall, he says no longer deserves that
name 1t is in fact, now, triangular fall, the
point lying up the stream and the two sides
stretching downward. 1t would appear that
the weight of the water is breaking away the
rock to such an extent that narrow chasm is
in course of formation, iu'o which the water
will fall as from two opposite walls. On the
other hand, the American Fall, instead of hay
ing its former straightness, is coming to be
jagged and uneven, with deep fluctuations and
recedng curves, where the reck has fallen piece
by piece, These changes, however, seem to be
confined to the red of the channel, and never
encroach on either shore. This was the conclu
sion of Prof. Tyndall. the last scientific visitant
as well as of Prof. Cunning, who carefully in
vestigated the whole subject. The tremendous
force of the water makes it cut directly down
ward in its own channel.
RowDYIsM. Biddeford Times says that
some fellows went to the Pool on Monday night
and created quite an excitement. The bowling
alley connected with the Yates House was en-
tered and about $75 worth of articles, including
seven boxes of cigars, one box of tobacco, sar-
dimes, pickles and other goods taken away. The
next morning one jar Of pickles was found on
the beach and on the main road from the Pool
to this city, which would seem to indicate that
the thieves came to town. Wednesday two in
toxicated men from town made things lively at
the Pool. visitor at the Highland House
had new bath house erected and just after he
left it yesterday he observed that two fellows
had turned the building upside down. The
same parties entered McBr:de's bowling alley,
took down the hanging lights and threw them
out of the window and smashed up things gen.
orally.
