Eseape from n Plunge Over Passatc Falls.
During the recent freshets in the East,
says a Paterson, N. J., dispatch, a man and
boy attempted to drive a wagon along Little
Falls turnpike, which was submerged by
the freshet. They missed the road and
drove into the channel of the river above
Passaic Falls. The wagon body, with the
man and boy, ioated of. The swift current
carried them towards the rapids and a
plunge of seventy feet beyond. Some gen.
tlemen who were on the bridge that spans
the river just above the boiling rapids
hastily tore the reins from some horses that
were standing there and made lines, which
the man and boy caught as they passed
under, and were saved. The wagon body
plunged over the falls.

Lively News from Berlin.

From Berlin, December 10, we gather the
following: The Imperial Government of
Germany has been for some months most
vigorously enforcing the Anti-Socialist
Laws. Newspapers have been suppressed
by the score-eyen concerts have been pro.
hibited-Socialists nave been hunted and
expelled, even women driven out of
the country. All this does not seem sui.
ticient. There is a movement to declare
Berlin in a state of siege, and
try the terrors of martial law. The declar.
atoms of Count Gutenberg in the, Prussian
Diet are startling. The government has in.
formation SO serious that it does not give
the people the particulars. The main fact
is the assurance that there exists a great
revolutionary conspiracy to overthrow the
Kingdom and the Empire by assassination.
A yeritable reign of terror seems at hand in
Germany.

LAKE CHAUTAUOUA,

This lake and its surroundings, unlike a great
many summer resorts which become the rage for
q season or two and then sink into ObScurity, is
steadily growing in favor as place where one
can spend few weeks during the heated term
with pleasure and profit Chautauqua has be-
come the great meeting place for summer cOnven-
lions Of all kinds, and no better evidence of its
popularity could be adduced than the fact Of its
selection for these gatherings, where pure air,
ample accommodations, aud moderate charges
are the chief considerations
Early in July the Baptist Social Union will hold
its annual meeting at Point Chautauqus.
Later in the season q grand Musical Conven-
ton will be held and in August the great Ma
tional Sunday School Association will convene at
Fair Point
The Atlantic & Great Western Railroad with its
accustomed enterprise, has already placed Round
Trip Tickets on sale from all stations to the lake
at half fare, and has taken step in advance Of
the arrangements for previous seasons by placing
on the road line Of elegant Parlor Cars, running
daily between Cleveland and Lake Chsutauqua.

GREAT LONDON SHOW.

This popular entertainment, combination Of
gangers Enlarged British Menagerie, Dockrill's
Partisan Circus and Mardi-Gras Carnival, and the
best features Of the famous London show, will ex-
hibit here June 18th, 1878, when two full and COM
plete entertainments will take place. as advertised
elsewhere The fSIrore created in New York city
during the late fifteen weeks engagement there
at GIlmor's Garden, has no parallel In the amuse-
ment annals of the metropolis, The spacious
building, the largest amphitheatre in the Uuited
States, was filled to overfowjng twice every day,
and the great performers were fairly inundated
with floral tokens. The Daily IN. " NttDS Of
March 28th, makes the following notice:
"But what would the great show be without
rider like German, or juggling equestrian artist
like Pauline Lee, or, above ALL without equestrian
wonder workers like Madame DOckrill and James
Roblntop No one could imagine suck profCien-
Cy as these artists have attained, Madam Dock
rill performs miracles that perhaps some day in
the incOnceiVable future OF an uumanageable
arena, spectators may regard as we now regard
Madame Docknll, who stretches herself across
four horses and recOvers, by muscular elasticity,
her normal pose, amid the astounding acclama-
lions of incredulOus crowds. And there is James
Robinson, whose home is now on his sleed, and
whose greatest ambition is to excel all the world
in demonstrating the performance of impossible
ties on all parts of the equine exterior These,
however, are not One-half Of the wonders per
formed here. 1t Is the most remarkable and per
feet show of its kind Of the period"

VENTILATIoN.--Ma persons complain Of al
ways getting up tired in the morning. This is
often due to defective ventilation OF from an un-
due amount of bed clothes and bedding. Feather
beds are too yielding, and partially envelop the
sleeper, thus producing profuse perspiration.
The habit Of lying too much under blankets Is al
so very pernicious, by reason of the carbonicac
exhsled by the sleeper being respired. Again. it
is common error to suppose that by simply ope-
ming a window little at the top room can be
ventilated. People forget that for proper ventla-
ton there must be an outlet and an inlet for the
ait. In bed rooms there is ofener neither, and II
there is fireplace it is generally closed up.
Again. 1t Is a mistake to suppose that foul air
goes to the top Of q room. Certainly the heated
air goes to the top, but the chief impurity, the
carbonic acid, fall to the bottom. There is moth
lug so eficacious in removing the lower stratum
Of air as the ordinary open fire place especially
If there is fire burning, Sanitary Record.

THE BURGLARS HAVE COME TO TOWN.


-Four Hundred and TVenty Dollars in One Lump.
As will be seen by notice elsewhere. our
neRhboring city, Massillon, was ransacked last
week, and from what has happened here this
week we are led to believe that the burglars
moved on" and advise our citizeus to inform the
police the minute they observe any strange dolngs
or suspicious characters about their premises
Their big haul was made at Monroe Hawks on
South Market street. Monday was payday at the
shops, and many Of his customers made their
monthly settlement, so that in the evening he was
IN possession of rather more money than us lal,
ana, as is his custom, be placed it under his pillow
He hasa tireproof safe in ali adjoining room, but
the combination lock has been somewhat trouble
some, and he kept the books In it and left tn
door open However, there was 500 in silver lying
In the safe Monday night, which was undisurbed.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Hawk found his door stand
ing open and his poCket-book lying in the yard,
empty and soaked with rain. The fact that the
door could only have been opened from the In
side, and that no disturbance was made and not
even the little dog In the next room aroused,
makes 1t plain that the thief secreted himself in
the room during the afternoon or evening.
Ihe same evening satchel belonging to a gen.
tleman visiting in the city was taken from the
hall Of Miss Seasdort's boarding house. The
satchel was valuable, perhaps, to the thief but the
contents were chiefly books and papers, only OF
use to the owner.
The same evening fine large geraneum, with
its pot, was carried from Mr.. o. F. Clousers front
yard, and Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock some
party took from the show window In F. Mertz's
shoe store two pairs of fine shoes, while Mr.
Mertz was sitting at his work in full view of the
thief

sorry to hear of his untimely death. The follow
ing which we clip from the Kansas City Journal
tells the whole story: Sunday morning party

in the woods. They went out east as far as the
Little Blue, and there spent most Of the day.
About one o'clock they had ther lunch, and TIVE
of the party Harry L. Richards and I'd Brice,
started away with the intention Of going into the
water for swim. Young Richards was some
what Overheated, but he halted not, and quickly
pulling off his clothes, plunged into the water

all that he could, and with long pole tried to
save his friend 1t was not so to be, however, and
in less than two minutes the body went under the
water for the last time. The alarm was at onCo
given and a number of persons, with graphing
itons went to the scene Of the accident TO search
for the body. II twas found soon after midnight,
and taken to the residence oft boys father, Mr..

Unfortunately on the morning of the 10th. rain
fell continual y from early morning until noon,
retarding and interfering with every move made
by our citizens and Lodges toward making the
celebration success. However, Notwithstanding
the unproptious weather large number Of
buildings were decorated, and at noon when the
rain stopped falling, everything was In readiness
to go on with the programme, and the Lodges
headed by the Grand Army Band marched from
their room to the depot in time to greet their WIS.,

From the depot they marched in tiue order to the
music of one of the three bands now in the pro-
cession to Market street on Tenth, up Market to
Tuscarawss, down Tusoarawas to Cherry, north
on Cherry to Third, and East on Third to the Fair
Grounds abandoning their original intention Of
marching over all the principal streets OF the city
because of the bad walking. Att Fair Grounds
everything was found in waiting for them and
they were Immediately served with such dinner
as made them forget the unpleasant weather.
An immense number Of people we're served, aud
to the ladies on whom the duty fell are due the

dinner which was enlivened by music from the
different bands, the crowd adjourned to Floral

til almost o'clock, when the assembly dispersed
and returned to the city. without doubt, had the
weather been more favorable the city would have
been crowded. and the way the Ci izens filled the
streets when the rain ceased to fall showed how
