The Hiqh School Examinations.

Yesterday the public examinations
in DR.. Luckey's Department of the
High School commenced. The writ
ten examination, including all of
the studies pursued by the classes,
were concluded last Wednesday. BY
these the efficiency of the pupil is de-
termined; but the oral examinations,
interspersed with compositions, reci-
tations, etc., are held for the better
satisfaction of teacher, scholars and
friends. Not without some trepida-
ton did our reporter venture into the
halls of learning yesterday. 1t is
easy enough to smile at Satan's rage
and face frowning world; but when
one comes to confront beyy of smil-

mean-it is an operation peculiarly

flicted with diffidence, as all reporters
are. We had thought of going into a

OVER NleAARAl
A Man Commits Suicide by leapino
Over the Falls.

The press dispatches yesterday morn
inpca,c brief account OF terribls sui
eide which was eommitted at Niagara
Falls ON Saturday, man having dslio-
erat.ly walked over the falls, near Ia
bio Rock. We have since received the
following additional information con-
csrning the extraordinary affair.
shortly after o'clock p. NJ, ON Sat
uriay, there arrived at the Canadian
side OF the suspension bridge, by the
Canadian Southern Road. a stranger,
described a. man about five feet eight
inches in height, Of light compilation
aud sandy colored hair. who, ON ahght-
ing, inquired the charge OF a cab thsnco
10 the falls and back.
After some Of that sparring which is
inssparabls from negotiations attending
cab hire, one Christopher flannigan
offered to drive him TO the Table Rsck
and back for 80. "How much II you
lsays me there" inquired the stranger.
"a dollar. replied the eabman, and
the bargain was struck. Nething par
ticular in his face or dsmeanor attracted
Flannigan's attention during the drive,
except that he remembers he knelt on
the front seat OF the carriage, looking
about him freely at the falls and OBJ
jeets Of interest that were passed, He
also asked whether bodies going ever
the falls were ever found again, to
which the driver replied that ssns were
and soms were not.
When he reached the museum he took
the driver in to get glass OF beer, which
he paid for. and also then paid Flanni-
gan his dollar carriage hire. He also
then gave the driver tho letter mentioned
in the press dispatch. addressed TO MIR.
Robertson. q banker at Brantford, to
post, and an envelope bearing his own
address, which was Robert Sslmond.

might do, to a piece OF square timber

which but thin stream Of water runs,
he stepped into the current, and, almost
Immediately, he made false step and
slipped ON TO his knees, but immedi-
atsly rsgainsd his feet and walked on
till carried of his feet by the increasing
vslums OF water; and then, as II IL were
n chip on the tide, his body shot over
into the abyss below.
II took but few seconds for all this
TO occur, and men were at once sent
down under the comparatively thin
sheet OF water. there to see II any traces
Of the body were to be found on the
ledge Of rocks, but their search was
fruitlsss. Mr.. Robertson was immsdi-
aisly telegraphsd news Of what had oc-
Cured. and reply was received direct.

With quick. elastic. csneing feet

And vet % each she gave smile,
And che slept lightly toward the well.

POINTING AN ARGUMENT WITH A
ROYAL BENaA1 TIaRR.-I remember
once. when Gen. Sohenck and myself
were stamping in Southern Illinois,
then called Egypt, on account of it's
dense darkness, we were annoyed by q
show that kept with us and drew away
our crowds. We compromised at last
with the proprietor of the fat woman,
live anacondas. the calf with two
heads and an assortment of tails, with
other wild beasts, to tue effect that ve
would divide the time. When he ex.
hibited in the morning, We would ad-
dress our fellow-c,tizens in the after
noon, and oice rersq. The arrange.
ment worked beautifully. Speaking
from the cage of the royal Bengal
tiger, whenever the interest tagged,
the orator bud only to stick his cane in
at the animal. through hole in the
top. and stirring the beast mp to few
Lively growls. arouse the voters to the
perilous condition of the country.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YoU?-
Ii friend is looking sick, this is usu-
ally the question We put to him. 1t is
asked everywhere, times innumerabie,
every day. And what are the most
frequent answers to it? Are they not
such as these: "Well, I'm little bill
ious." or II feel lunguid aud used
up" or "My stomach is out of order. F."
or I'm under the weather." or II
don't know what's the matter with me,
bnt [ don't feel right" or the like in
definite responses. Now, what is the
matter with the thousands of both sexes
who cannot tell exactly what ails them,
and yet are evidently out of heal.!: .
The matter is simply this: they don't
properly digest what they eat, their
livers are torpid, their nerves are weak,
their blood is impure. and their vital
energies are depressed What they
need is course of Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters-not ono or two doses, but
q course Ito strepL then their stomnchs,
euperi induce q healthy flow Of bile,
steady and invigorste their nerves, i'm
provo tho condition of their blood
and rouse their vital powers. These
results the great vegetable restorative
will assuredly bring about. It rallies
the whole system, reinforces every i'm
portnnt organ, regulates every func-
ton, aud purifies every animal fluid.
For chronic dyspepsia, constipation,
liver complaint, intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, rheumatism, general
debility, premature decay, and the in
firmlties OF age, it is the best and safest
stimuIant and Alternative that has ever
been compounded. It's ingredients
are all vegetable, oil pure and whole
some. In districts infested with swamp
miasma, and IN oil new settlements, it's
nse is essential to the preservation of
health. The West believes in it, aud
so, in fact, do the people OF all sections
Of the Union. S9tl3
