John wilkes Booth.

Several years ago, when John p. Hale
was here as Senator, says the Washington
correspondent of the Cleveland Leader, his
daughters were among the most admired OF
all the bellies. They lived in clegaGt style
at the National, and entertained with Il
great deal of yiyacity all who visited them.
The youngest was really very pretty,
fresh, piquOnt girl of eighteen or so.
Of course there were a great many adj
mirers, and among them the actor John
Wilkes Booth was the most devoted to Miss
Eighteen. You perhaps. remember Booths

he was great favorite socially. At night

ONE LIFE LOsT-TWO SAVED.
Three men named a. Rose, Henry Won
Wagnem, and Joseph Giroux, living in the
vicinity Of the works of the Niagara River
Iron Company, went out upon the river
some time before noon last Saturday on
shooting excursion, as is supposed. The
party brought a sail boat into requisition,
but had not been long upon the Niagara
before the boat was capsized by sudden
squat. The men were thrown out, but
managed to gain a footing on the ice,
which was being rapidly borne down the
river. At noon the 'hrce men were discov-
cred on the ice nearly in front of the works
already mentioned, and their pitiful cries
for help attracted a great many people to
the shore The crowd were bewildered
with terror, and found themselves absolute
ly powerless TO render aid. The ice was
running with relentless swiftness and the
rescue of the men seemed to admit
of no delay The greatest ex-
citcment prevailed and the unfortn-
nav INV NNiC tbboltiCltN hNNilllNil.
In this extremity a man was suddenly des-
patched from the Iron Works for the Grand
Island Ferry tug Ada, and to the simmons
for helD Capt. Adam Hartman responded
with alacrity. His boat had barely fuel
for miles travel, and he could not have
anticipated for her anything but severe
struggle with the swift current, the heavy
ice, and the gale that had set in, but he re-
solved upon prompt action and went as
speedily as possible to the rescue. lie pur-
sued the men down the river but before he
could reach the tloes upon which they
drifted, one of the party, Joseph GirouX,
fell into the angry waters and was seen no
more. The other two were rescued a short
distance this side of La Sale, and when
taken off were badly frozen and complete
ly exhausted. They could not have main
tanned their ground many minutes longer,
and altogether they must have bean for
nearly three hours in the face Of death.
The unfortunate Giroux leaves a wife to
mourn his untimely taking off.

1t is o pity that there are not more VIII

SIMILAR EVENTS IN ROYAL LIFE.

LONDON, Jan. 10, 1874.
There occurred, yesterday, in England
two events, similar yet diverse both alike
sad as the grave in sentiments-thc one
treated with the funeral pomp-the other
grand with the rejoicings and acclaim of a
mighty people. Within the early hours of
the day an exiled Empress consecrated the
new Mausoleum to her deceased lord, while
powerful Queen acknowledged, through
the person of the Prince of the realm, the
tribute of magnificent Memorial to the
memory of her late Royal Consort.
It was purely a freak of chance that
these two royal widows should have been

The feature of the report of the cores

county agricultural society, G. NJ. ingalls,
bee, presented at the annual meeting, was
the statistics in regard to cheese factories
of the county. The table shows the name
of the companies, date of organization,
amount of capital, expenses for the year,
number of cows supplying the milk, num-
Der of pounds of cheese made and the net
receipts
The Rutland weekly globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-02-06

The figures show a capital of $50, 525 in
vested in the cheese actories of the coun-
ty. The average length of the cheese
making season was 1876 days, the number
of cows supplying the milk 3,0Sl, number
of bounds of cheese made 12,0S1 ,449, net
receipts $l1S,036. Looking more closely
at the location of the factories, we find
them all in the second assembly district.
When we add to their earnings the receipts
from the milk sent by Ambey Braytons
milk train, and from the butter sold by in
diyidual formers, we have some idea of the
value to the county of its dairy business.
