ceediurs were based on petition filed

a very sad accident occurred last Satur-
dav afternoon In H0lst0u river, about one
mile above Longs ferry. l tell 1t as it was
told TO me: 8ir. La kin Foster, his son,
and VIII GauIding were crossing the river
in a canoe. containing SIX sacks Of corn in
the car. When they were within
thirty feet Of the bank, the canoe,
as it was passing over q ahOal, tilted and
threw one Of them out. IN trying to get
back he causized the canoe. A chain, al
tached 10 The canoe, became fastened III the
rocks. and thus anchored It. To this, the
elder Foster chung Tor dear life. The 9th
er two, IL seems, attempted 10 reach the
bank. Gaulding cot almost out when he
discovered that young Foster was in peril
Gus condition. He returned to assist him
but If was too late. He then made the
second attempt TO reach the bank, but in-
evitable fate was against him. i moment
more, and he too, went down beneath the
waters Of the HOlstOn. Thus
persisted two young men, asOnand friend,
in the presence Of hlr. Foster, and he pow
erless 10 render any assistance. 1t may
well be said Of Mr.. GauIing that his last
act was one Of the uoblest her0ism. He
cost his life in trying to save that Of fel'
low man.

the eye, while his lips became impressed
together as with suppressed passion.
Judge Porter continued at intervals 10
turn and denOunce Tilton to his face, and
more than once the latter, who was busy
making notes, dropped his pen nervously,
half turned in his chair and faced the
speaker with an angry expression.
After contrasting the lives and character
Of the plaintiffand defendant, Judge Porter
hastily sketched the more salient events in
the life Of Beecher, and pronounced TiltOn
to be an adulterer and a peUmer. De-
scribing the discussion Of the paternity Of
the boy Ralph, he exclaimed with electric
force, and facing TiltOD: off there
be beast upon earth capable Of holding
such a conversation over his own boy with
the paramour Of his adulterOus wife, he
has lived too long upon earth; It is time
for him to die. What are such men for
unless they have a mission in hunting
down clergymen, crucifying women and
committing perjury in courts Of justiee?"
Nothing that was said during the day
caused deeper feeling in The audience
than this sentence, delivered with all the
whitening force that the orator could con-
dense into his words. TiltOn faced it all
with iron will, bot his cheeks glowed and
the lines about his mouth were deep and
hard.
The denunciations Of Moullon and sew
eral other persons were only less severe
than those launched against TltOn; but
as the persons who were denounced were
not present, the effect was much less
marked. The chief aim Of judge Porter's
argument was to prove from the character,
both of Beecher and Mrs. Tilton, and
from the tone and nature Of Mrs. TiltOns
letters to her husband, the great improba'
bility that aCE aaulterous Intercourse had
taken place between 8irs. TBton and
Beecher.
Judge Porter says he will probably speak
until Friday night, if his strength holds
out. Mr.. Evarts has desired him to occupy
the whole Of the remainder of this week
with his argument
