Falls creek is a small stream traversinp
the western part of Delaware county, N.
Y. On it, near Delhi, are two cataracts
near each other-one forty feet high, the
other thirty. At the head of the upper
falls stood for years saw mill, which dis.
use had reduced to somewhat dilapidated
condition. The rains had swollen the
creek to three times its size, bringing the
water up under the foundation of the old
mill. Not long since sudden storm of
wind and rain arose in the vicinity. The
wife of Mr. G. L. Sloat, living near the
saw mill, had started with her three chill
dren to 60 to a neighbours. The storm
overlook them below the saw mill, and
Mrs. Sloat took refuge, with her children,
in the old building. While they were there
the foundation was entirely undermined,
and before they could escape they were
swept toward the falls. Just as the mill
was precipitated over the first fall it was
discovered by Mr.. Sloat, who was near by.
He did not know his wife and children
were in the building, but out of curiosity
to see how it would be broken by tumbling
over the cataracts, he ran to the foot of the
lower fall. The old shell went to pieces
the instant it was struck by the water fall
ing over the first cataract. AS Mr.. Sloat
stood gazing up through the spray and
foam he saw mingled with the debris of
the old mill the bodies of his wife and
children. Over the second fall they plung-
ed. Mr.. Sloat ran with all speed to mar
row gorge, through which the water passes,
about four rods below the lower fall. He
reached it before any of the floating tim
bers or bodies had passed through. In
few seconds the body of his wife came
rushing toward the pass. He seized it and
drew it out. Then he secured the body of
his oldest child, and that of the youngest.
The third did not appear, and after waiting
few seconds Mr.. Sloat turned his attention
toward resuscitating the rescued. His wife
was only partially unconscious, and was
soon restored. The two children were also
resuscitated after long trial, and removed
to the house. The body Of the third has
not yet been found.

LOSS OF BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.

l submit that with the exception of over
production to which referred in my Last
letter, the existing prostration of business
and enterprise in the United States, the
want of nerve, the lack of recuperative
power, which are everywhere noticeable,
and which are so unusual in the American
character, are attributable to the excess
and uncertain value of our circulating
medium, to which no legislation, without
a reduction of the volume of it, can give
stability; circulating medium which is
not only affected by the importation or
expectation of coin, but which is raised or
depressed in price by gambling combina-
tions. Not only can capitalists, by becom-
ing spectators, put up or put down the
price of gold, which means advancing or
depressing the value of currency (for, after
all that may be said, it is gold that resu-
lates the value of the currency, but the
property and business of our great country
are to no small extent at their mercy. Is
it not this which is destroying confidence,
which is the handspring of business vital
ity? With what safety can men embark
in enterprises that look to the future for
results, when they cannot predict with any
degree of certainty what will be the value
of legal-tender notes one year or two years
hence? How can any man venture to
engage in any far reaching business, while
the currency upon which his transactions
are based, is constantly changing in valuee
Especially how can he risk the future,
when the currency, now greatly depreci-
ated, may be still more deprecated by
further issues? II is uncertainty in regard
to the future Of the currency, that is de-
stroying confidence, and without restora-
ton of confidence there will be no improve
ment in our financial and industrial condi-
ton. What healthy and reliable business
requires is stable basis. Let men of CAPT
tai and enterprise feel that there is to be
stability in the legal measure of value.
Let it be understood that the higher law
which makes gold and silver the only true
measure is hereafter to be recognized and
obeyed, and the existing lethargy will dis
appear and the country begin rapidly to
recover from its prostration. 1t is very
clear, then, that the remedy we are seeking
is not to be found in the maintenance of
the present volume of irredeemable paper
money-most assuredly not in an increase
of it.-Ertracts from Er- Secretary McCul-
loeh's Letters tn the Tribune.

The Revival at Wallingford.

The series of religious meetings held in
the Baptist church at Wallingford, is al
ready awakening a deep interest in the
minds of the people. Already quite num-
Der OF the young people are religious in
quirers, and an increasing feeling from
night to night is clearly observable. Miss
f. Il. Townsley, who is conducting the
work, is lady of marked mental and
spiritual ability, without rant or cant, but
in true christian earnestness and with a
most tender and ladylilSe urgency, endeav-
oring to lead souls to Christ. The Bible
readings given by her on each afternoon
are deeply interesting, giving as from her
exegetical and always very plain teachings
a new relish and clearer understanding Of
the word of God. The extreme cold
weather of the few days past has prevent
ed many from attending, otherwise the
church ediice would have been over
crowded. AS 1t is there are but few vacant
seats, and these with more moderate wealth.
or and smoother travelling will soon be
more than filled. f.N

than ten per cent. of the capital of ma
tional bank with any private banker, or
with any person or association other than
a national banking association.
Eighth-That no national bank shall be
liable to make good any deficiency which
may hereafter arise In any special deposit
made with said bank, unless receipt shall
be produced by the owner of such deposit
in which the liability of bank shall be dis
tincily stated.
Ninth-Repeal of cent stamp tax upon
bank checks
Tenth-Requiring the word counterfeit
or altered or illegal to be stamped on all
counterfeit or unauthorized issues.
Eleventh-The repeal Of that portion of
section of revised statutes, section 4, June
17,1870, providing for the organization of
savings banks in the district of Columbia.
No amendments are recommended to the
acts of January 90, 1874. and January ID,

in reference to the expenses of the national
bank system.

A telegram to the Boston Herald states
that the first visit made by republican men,
bers of congress, on arriving in Washing
ton, is to the treasury department. The
burden of their conversation is to endeavor
to persuade the commissioner of internal
revenue to retain in Office their friends cut
off by the recent order consolidating the
collection districts. Both there, at the
Office of the supervising architect and in
the other bureaus of the department, they
are met with the invariable reply that the
business of the treasury department is now
being conducted "on business principles
" strictly" but If they can prove that the
interests of the people can be better sub
served, its action will be reviewed, but not
otherwise. That's the way honest Ben
Bristow runs the treasury department, and
it looks very much as if the people would
ask him, next year, to run the government
in the same way.

Report of the Comptroller of the
Currency.

The comptroller of the currency has
completed his report to congress-. A con-
siderable portion of the report is devoted
to an elaborate defence of the national
banking system, and showing why it
should be continued as at present organ
lied. He recommends the following
amendments to the banking laws:
First-An amendment authorizing the
comptroller to appoint receivers of nation
al banks, whether transacting business or
in liquidation, when insolvency shall be-
come evident from the protest OF drafts, or
of checks drawn upon such associations. or
otherwise, if, after due examination, it
shall appear that the assets are insufficient
for the liquidation of the existing indebt-
edness.
Second-For the appointment of re-
ceiver when the charter of bank 10 de-
termned or adjudged forfeited by United
States court before which suit Is brought
as provided in section $3.50 of the revised
statutes.
Third Providing that, after the full
payments shall have been made of all the
debts of an association, an agent may be
appointed by the shareholders of the bank
III tio puipo5c vi llquiuhtiub I'D hiiuii o.
and discharging the comptroller and re-
ceiver by virtue of such legislation from all
further responsibility.
Fourth-For the Investment Of the funds
of deposits with treasurer in interest bear
ing securities when dividends are delayed
by reason Of protracted litigation.
Fifth-Providing that If any shareholder
or shareholders of bank whose capital
stock is impaired, shall refuse, after three
months notice, to pay their assessments as
provided In section 5205, revised statutes,
sufficient amount of the capital stock OF
such delinquent shareholder or sharehold-
ers shall be sold to make good the def
cheney.
Sixth-An amendment to section $500
of the revised statutes, extending the lin
its of the liability of any association, per-
son, company or firm for money borrowed
from 10 per cent. of capital paid into 10
per cent. of capital and surplus for banks
located in redemption cities, and one-tenth
of the capital and surplus tor other banks.
Seventh-Prohibiting the deposit of more
