TIE DROWNING OF SIX BoYs.-The Fail
River Mass News gives n detailed account
of the drowning accident I'm that city on
Tuesday afternoon, by which six boys lost
their lives. II seems that they and one other
were bathing together, and that strong
breeze sprauS up, making the water very
rough, ard frightening them so much that
they all started for shore. The youngest,
however, became frightened aud asked the
others to help him, and ia so doing they all
got into deep water, and six OF them were
drowned, while the other barely saved his
own life by clinging 10 stump. He subSe-
quenty succeeded in reaching the shore. and
gave the alarm. The bodies of the unfOrtu-
nate boys were recovered about $50 O'Clock,
and Coroner White was summoned, but did
not deem an inquest necessary. The names
OF the drowned are John w. Fielding, nine
years old, only child OF Lawrence Fielding;
William and James Jacques. aged eight
years and 1--WE mon 80. 49, All, ten years and ten
months, respectively, only children of Chas.

DOGS THAT HAVE "SHor NIAGARA"-
Appropos 10 the case of a dog which, during
recent low water, crossed the rapids above
Niagara Falls TO small islet, and is now
unable 10 return, the Niagara Falls Register
recalls TWO instances in which dogs have
been sent over the falls. and survived tho
plunge. In November, 1896, n troublesome
female bull-terrier was put in coffee sack
by couple of men who had determined TO
get rid OF her. and thrown Off from the mid
die of Goat Island bridge. In the following
spring she was found alive and well about
sixty rods below the ferry, having lived
through the winter on a dead COW that was
thrown over the bank the previous fall. In
le5s another dog, male of the same breed,
was thrown into the rapids, also near the
middle OF the bridge. In less than an hour
ne came up the ferry stairs very wet and not
al all gay. The reason why the animals are
not killed is that the water pours down so
rapidly and in such quantities that the water
below, so TO speak, can not run OF fast
enough, and IL piles up in large watercOnes
winch are constantly forming and breaking
III any strong animal should fall on one of
these cones. as upon soft cushion, IL might
slide safely into the current below. The dogs
were doubtless fortunate enough TO fan in
this way, aided, also. by the repulsion ofthe
water from the rocks in the swift enamel
through which they passed. IL is not impDs-
slble mat some strong man, in a light strong
boat, may thus. at some future time. gooyer
the Horseshoe FAN, and not be killed.

A SHIP ATTACKED BY A SwORDFISH.-
Mr.. j. j. Harwood, master of the British brig
antine Fortunate, in dock at Liverpool, re-
ports that whilst on his passage from the
Rio Grande, when in latitude 20o l2 north
and longitude As q west, his ship was struck
by large fish. which made the vessel shake
very much. Thinking the ship had been
merely struck by the tail of some sea mon-
ster, he took no further notice of the matter;
but after discharging cargo at Rancorn. and
coming into the Canada half-tide dock, he
found one OF the plank ends in the stern split,
and on closer examination he discovered
that a swordfish had driven his sword COM
pletely through the plank, four inches in
thickness, leaving the point OF the sword
nearly eight inches through the plank. The
fish in its struggle broke the sword OFF level
with the outside of the vessel, and by its at
lack upon the ship lost nearly a foot length
OF the very dangerous weapon with which il
was armed. There is no doubt that this
when the vessel was struck as Capt. Hsr-
wood acknowledgement Mercury.
