which now paralyzes trade. We recon.
mend the use OF obligations of banks,
secured by collaterals, deposited by the
makers OF said obligations with board

Northern or foreign sources, would re-

Mr. Sawyer then reported that the
banks had taken the matter into consi-
deratiop, and had formed an associa-

CLOTHES ON FIRE.

Three persons out OF four would rush
right up to the burning individual and
begin to paw with their hands without
any definite aim. 1t is useless to tell
the victim to dothis or that, or to, call
for water. In fact, it is generally best
not to say d word, but to seize blank
ct or any wooden, fabric If noneiis at
hand take any wooden material-hold
the. corners as far apart as You can,
stretch them out higher than your head,
and running boldly to the person. make
a motion of clasping in the arms, mostly
about the shoulder. This instantly
smothers the fire and saves the face.
The next instant throw the person on
the floor This is an additional safety
to the face and breath, and any rem
nant Of flame, can be put out more lei

SAFETY In OCEAN TRAVEL,

The loss of the steamship Atlantic, of
the White Star line, and the City of
Washington, Of the Innian line, both
of which ran into shallow water and
foundered on the rock, has set inven-
tive minds ito thinking whether some
device could not be made to prevent
such accidents in the future. One in
syentor, MI. =. D.. Grid, of Syracuse, N.
T., has very simple plan, which has
already attracted the attention OK some
Of, the steamship owners. This plan is
based on the law of specific gravity,
which makes the pressure pexerted bya
column OF water twenty fanthoms deep
much greater, of course, than that ex,
erted by a column only four or five
fathon1s in depth. '1fH
sThe apparatus consists of "a hollow
line or flexible tube, at the lower end of
which is weight and an air-chamber,
with o piston, upon the outer surface of
which the pressure is received. The
upper end Of this tube is attached to the
ship in the engine room, and pressure
gauge, resembling an /" aneroid" baro-
meter, indicates constantly the depth ut
which the weight is depending with as
much accuracy, it is claimed, as the
steam gauge indicates the pressure on
the boiler. AS the vessel nears land the
air chamber comes towards the surface,
the. pressure becomes less and the re-
suit is told by the gauge, which is con-
stantly before the eyes of the engineer.
An alarm bell is also attached to the

JERSEY cITY,s BorToMLEss PIT.

For years residents on the central
part Of Jersey City Heights looked for
ward to the completion of Montgomery
street, which would give them. "a agni-
ficent avenue directly to the river. The
work was done at great expense, and
the, street was built on stone cause
way, varying from five to fifty feet in
'heigth, with deep foundations. A year
ago the street began to cave in, almost
disappearing in places in the meadow
mud. The settling, however, ceased,
and the walls were again bnilt up. Yes
terday the street, fell in in three, places
to a depth Of ten feet or more, SO sud
denly as to snap, off the gas and water
pipes. The heavy roadway forced out
the immense walls, which in places dis
appeared in the swamp. It seems not
Improbable that the entire street. now

built at great expense.

LIGHTNING.

&. VI 1 Il ~ J
The mail brings additional details of
the terrible thunder storm that passed
over Bolton, England, It appears that
the weather had been intensely hot DUR
ing the day, the Thermometer at noon
registered one hundred and twelve de-
grees. Towards six O'Clock, says the
London News, !" clouds began to gather
from all sides Of the horizon, and at ten
minutes past seven storm of unpre.
cedented violence broke. At the time
,asnumber of lads were flying kites and
playing cricket in field belonging to
the Cannon street Mission school, on
Bolten Moor. Rain had not begnn to
DESCEND, and four boys named VIM.
Emus, aged fourteen, Peter Lee, aged
twelve, and Alfred and Abel Bullough,
aged respectively sixteen and eleven
years, were standing in group watch-
| ing the game, when they were all struck
to the ground by, the electric fluid.
Several other boys who were engaged
cficketing were also FRUSTRATED, and went
to the assistance OF their companions,
two of whom, Emus and Lee, were
found to be dead, while one of the Bull
loughs was also very seriously injured.
Emus had been struck on the head and
his cap set ON fire. The hair on the
crown of his head was singed off, and
the lightning appears to have travelled
down his neck and cheek, the latter
being badly burnt. Lee had also been
struck on the back of the head, the hair
being frizzled off quite close. The
lightning had afterwards run down his
neck on to his right shoulder, the skin
of which had been peeled Of. Alfred
Bullough was not much injured, but his
younger brother complained of great
pain underneath his left arm, and had
to be carried home. With the excep-
ton of Emus's cap, none of the cloth
ing OF the boys appeared to be burnt. g
Isls" One of the other, boys struck was
James Monks, of Thomas street: he de-
scribed the sensation as if he had been
struck on the back of the head by a
number Of pellets and said he had a
tingling all over his body. Shortly
afterwards the rain, accompanied by
hailstones of extraordinary size, began
TO descend, and for q quarter of an hour
it seemed as if waterspout had burst.
The streets in the low-lying part of the
town were flooded, and the river Croal
rose three feet in half an hour. The
lightning was extremely vivid and the
claps of thunder, so deafening as to
alarm even the stoutest hearts. At
Daubhill, Just on the boundary of the
borough, q house chimney was struck,
and the lightning passed out of the
door, leaving uninjured a couple of
dodgers, who were seated on the steps.
The chimney of the, cooperative brick
shed, in Willow lane, was also hurl ed to
the ground, and man who was inside
was struck by the electric fluid, and
would have fallen had he not been
caught by another man. In several
other parts OF the town great damage
was done. "A- 8''' ,ssi'li7@3a"d .t',,

THE STAGE ACCIDENT.

Colonel Francis Boyd, of this city,
received "a letter yesterday from Mr..
John j. Crane, of New York, concerning
the recent stage accident near Bethle-
hem, N. III. The writer says "lThe
stage was overloaded, having sixteen
passengers in all, and heavily loaded
id sw with baggage. /, The horses became I'M
manageable, and in turning steep hill
overturned. I had the account from
eiytsAustin Fox, who has severe commissions
,s-asslss about the head and a deep cut, in the
groin. He is in good courage and bears
himself manfully.J Mrs. Flo& is bruised
about her head and body, but is quite
herself in spirit, and T. dc, not think
much injured. / did not see miss Re-
beeca, but she Is seriously injured. She
has a confusion in the limb near the
ibuHknee which is bad cut. "a 1t seemed
i,ol like something of the size of your finger
or larger, which penetrated the flesh for
the depth Of FIVE inches, bleeding very
.i,l much. She was thrown on ~ pile OF
tiais stones, and the wonder is that oshe was
not killed at once. Miss Reeves died
at four o. M, and her brother is not ex-
pected to survive. A young lad four
teen years of age, from Baltimore, nam
,tcs. ed Keeri, was killed instantly. A Mr..
Butler, from Adrain, Mich, survived
only short time. The accident has

THE WILD MAN SEEN AGAIN.

The wild man who has been seen so
often in the mountains east of here for
the, last three years, and who has incor-
rectly been stated to be d species OF
gorilla, was seen again recently near
Squaw Valley. He was engaged in
picking thimbleberries, and was perfect
~ naked. He was covered all over with
long black hair, and had long gray
l@hiskers. Heisawhite man, large and
powerful, and at least six feet high his
finger nails have grown out several
inches in length. Downing was within
twenty feet Of him when he raised up
from picking berries. He stood per-
fectly still and looked at Downing some
time, and then turned and started to
run. Downing was sitting down pick
ing berries at the time himself, when
this wild creature raised up ont of the
low bushes near him. He had not seen
him before. Downing was out hunting,
and was wen armed ( He is d gentleman
of undoubted sseracity. y Many others
OF eur citizens have mt different times
caught signs of this monster. William
Arnold, an old and we'll known citizen,
saw him some time ago sitting ON the
top Of a large rock, engaged in the
highly romantic, and to him no doubt
delightful, occupation of scratching
himself. % He is the constant terror Of
the Indians in the mountains eastward,
who all have either seen him or know
OF his existence. They tell the most
marvellous stories of his performances,
They think he is either the devil or
some dead white man whose ghost has
come to annoy them! There can be no
,doubtof the reality of this wonderful
wild man, as he has been seen SO often
by the most credible witnesses. A short
