Wednesday evening Frenchman
named Albert Abattoy fell over the
bank Of the river at Niagara Falls, dis.
lance Of 40 feet, and, strange to say,
escaped with but few slight bruises.
The accident occurred on the Canada
side of the river. about 200 feet north of
the new bridge. Abattoy, who halls
from Kingston, Canada, was intoxicated
at the time: He staggered over the bank,
falling clear distance Of 80 feet, on to
the rock below, and then rolling down 80
feet more toward the edge Of the water.
Thomas Conroy, the noted guide, accom-
panied by three or four others, as soon as
they learned of the accident, rowed over
from Prospect Park, expecting to find
the unfortunate man mangled mass Of
flesh and bones. Judge of their aston
ishmcnt when, after short search, they
discovered him wedged in between some
rocks, swearing as lively as any man in
his position could, and sufferiAg no per-
ceptible injuries excepting few
slight bruises. Abattoy was placed in
the boat and rowed over to the landing,
where every preparation had been made
for the appropriate reception of corpse.
The Frenchman, however. was not at all

leges, and on reaching the shore coolly
informed the crowd that there "wasn't a

empty whisky bottle which he had in his

it is nothing short Of miraculous that the
man was not killed instantly. At the
same point where he fell over, German

years ago, and Was instantly killed. 1t

An Anocdote Of Daniel s. Dickinson

Burle'gh, writing from New York to the
Boston Journal. relates the following: A
party of gentlemen were together last
week, and were telling old times stories.
One referred to Senator Dickinson. He
was not overlearned, but was very shrewd.
He knew absolutely nothing Of the clas-
sizes, and was greatly annoyed when one
quoted Latin. Van Buren, had swung off
into Free Soil, and the burden of the par
ty was on Dickinson's shoulders. A
friend Of Van Buren, was eulogiz;ng the
ex.President in speech. He spoke of
Curtius, and compared Van Buren, to that
noble Roman. Dickinson went over to a
seat occupied by a Senator who was at
home in all that relates to the Romans.
"Who is this Curtis the Senator
is talking about!'' 20, he is not talking
about Curtis at all. He is talking of I
noble Roman patriot. His name was Cur.
