A Niagara Canyon Adventure.

Saturday is "A half holiday at DE Veaux
College, Niagara, and unless boy has
greatly misbehaved he can go off bounds
on that day 1t is greatly enjoyed in
excursions to the Falls and the romantic
spots around the river. One Saturday
three years ago writes a former student

and when the report Of absent ones was
handed TO me at the supper table |
noticed the names of three of the small
est boys, Kelley, Park and Very. They
Were new boys, all three of them, and
sat at my table. asked the boys near
me whether they knew any thing about
them or not. 1t was thought they had
gone down the road towards the DEVILS
Hele. Supper was over and they did
not appear. The boys marched into
evening school. and three of the larger
boys We're just starting to hunt the
missing ones when two Of them came in,
Park and Very. Parks clothes were
torn and muddy. Very had horrible
looking face, bruised black and blue.
and very bloody. They We're so tired
and frightened that neither of them
could say word. "Where is Kelley?
Where is Kelley" This only made
them the more excited Ii was only by
degrees that We found out that they had
gone down to the river near the Devils
Hole To play and to hunt fossils, and
that AZ the suggestion Of Kelley they
had undertaken To return by the river
along the rocks TO the Whirlpool
stairs. They got along well at
first. Then it grew darker. After
number of serious falls down
the rocks, and eager crawling up again,
they came upon the Ladders. They did
not know whittier this would lead them:
hut so rejoiced were they to get little
higher that they clutched the rotten
rounds up, up, up, and then the roots of

IN THE CORN-FLELD.

The south wind stirred the tasseled corn,
And brightly glowed the dew of morn
On every waving blade,
As through the fields ON pleasure bent,
With dainty step sweet Jessie went
Sweet Jessie, loveliest maid
The south wind blew upon her hair,
And tossed IL from her forehead fair,
And in Its trcs-e- played.
JOY sparkled in her eye of blue,
And dyed her cheek with roster hue
sweet Jessie. radiant maid
Now IN the shadow of the corn
Stood Jessie, glowing like the morn,
And shyly, half afraid,
Between the rows coy glaces threw.
What sought she there. All, well she knew
sweet Jessie, aitless maid
For, brave and strong. above the corn,
She hears her lovers voice upborne,
And hears his ringing blade.
A. tar along the breezy rows,
WIKI songs OF her, he 2ayly goes
OF Jesse, beauteous maid
Then suddenly he lifts his eyes.
And Jessie sees. with glad surprise,
In loNeliness arrayed.
4 moment, and he's mt her side,
And clasps her hands with tender pride
Sweet Jessie, roseate maid!
I" I hear. thee singing, WILL" she said,
Then quickly bowed her lovely head,
BY rosy foods betrayed
And what said he. All. who can guess:
But Jessie softly whispered, "Yes"-
sweet Jessie, happiest maidi
With yellow floss he decked her hair,
And twined il with her tresses fair
In many glossy braid,
Till Jessie, like "A rural queen,
stood garlanded in silken sheen

When, standing by the rustling corn,

the trees, still higher and higher, not
daring to look back, and with hearts full
Of joy they at length recognized the
woods and the level land. They could
rot rejoice in their own escape without
thinking of poor Kelley. Then they
lived over all they had gone through the
two or three hours before. Without
Kelley they feared at first to go back to
Deveaux, but the dark night and their
bruises hurried them along.
:. But where is kelley?'
81 don't know! l don't know"
they both cried. Here came a sobbing
period.
"He went down."
Into the water?r
81 don't know We could not see
him.
"Was it very steep? Did he 60 into
the river?''
ssYes-I don't know"
This was all we could learn about poor
Kelley. The larger boys then started
with lantern and horn, and were to go
along the top of the bank blowing the
horn and swinging the lantern to give
the boy some encouragement in case he
should see the light, or the roaring river
should allow him to hear the horn.
The night was too black TO attempt a
descent at either of the three places NEIL
toned.
At 10 O'Clock the three large boys re-
turned, but without a clew. At IL
o'clock the clouds broke, the moon came
up, and it was almost like daylight. The
President, who had returned from Buff
falo, gave orders to have the upper
school turned out to scour the rocks,
the boys in the two lower dormitories to
remain in bed. The hunting party was
divided into three squads, each under
the command of a master. One squad
was to descend the rocks by the Whirl-
pool, another at the Ladders, and the
other at the Devils Hole. They started
off rather hopefully under the bright
sky. With each party was some re-
freshments for the lost boy, chicken and
little brandy. The DEVILS Hole party
took a wagon down the road with a lit
ter, mattress and blankets.
The ladder squad was the successful
one. Within a few feet of the loud and
terrible river, under the shadow Of an
immense rock, they found Kelley, who,
when night set in, had buttoned his coat
tightly, coiled himself up, and, taking
things calmly, had gone to sleep. The
note of the bugler awoke him as from a
dream. With a happy smile he met the
master and the bugler. With hearty
..Thank you," he took the chicken and
with it little brandy, and was then able
to scramble up the rocks, climb the lad
ders and walk to DeVeaux. He was not
hurt at all. 1t appeared that he had
slipped on a treacherous shale bed, and,
legs foremost, had slid down for 10 feet,
landing at the bottom with scarcely a
bruise.

The particulars are as follows Clark, who
was notorious as a man of ungovernahle
temper, vicious and revengeful, was for
making deadly assault with dangerous
weapon, upon fellow convict named
Ramsden, punishe y heing placed in the
dark eel for a couple of days. After his
liberation he was sul!en and evidently ready
for any act of insubOrdination, AMI it heing
known that he was desperate and con-
tirmed criminal, he was closely watched 10y
the officials. Clark for some act of his was
ordered to The cell room by the foreman of
the shop in which he worked, he refused 10
90! the Warden WAS sent for Mr. Hall
entered the shop and ordered Clark to his
cell, Clark refused to go, picked up u
knife and raised it threateningly, detied the
warden and refused to stir, he WAS told to
obey, and given two minutes in which to
go, and admohiShed that he was endanger
ing his life ny disc 'cying At the eXpira-
ton Of the time the command was repeated,
but Clark still refused to stir The warden
go, but the command was not obeyed, and
the warden fired, killing him instantly.
The evidence fully justfics the Warden, in
enforcing his orders, and the law empowers
him to enforce obedience by the use of any
weapon, necessary for the purpose, holding
him guilllcss, if in so doing he wounds or
kills any convict who refuses to obey his
lawful commands In the room in which
the tragedy occurred were many of the life
convicts, all Of them hardened aid desper
ate men. the three notorious desperadoes
the Younger brothers, beirg among the
number 1t can hc readily seen that War
den Hall, had to enforce and maintain the
discipline of the prison at all hazards, the
least act of dsohedience would if allowed
to pass by unpunishcd be taken as evidence
of cewardice and intimidation, and among
such desperate and unscrupulous men it
might encorage them to revolt and be the
beginning of serious trouble. Deputy Hall
is known as firm and courageous man,
used to dealing with this class of men, q
man who rigidly enforccs the disc. piine of
the prison, and allows no dsobedience or
resistance, and his firmncss, the extreme
course he pursued and terrible example
made cannot fail 10 have a wholesome
effect.

The alexandria Post speaking Of the
policy of the new management Of the St.
T. M. & NJ railroad says; Their policy
Is, that what ever advances the interests of
the several communities, advances their
own interests, and they are alive to every
passing event, and using every means to
build up the country. One policy which
they have adopted is to have telegraphcd
to headquarters daily the prices p,tl for
wheat and other commodities, at every
station; and Mr. j. J Hill, the very court
eouS General Manager, informs us that
wherever he finds buyers forming ring or
discriminating in any way i'll prices to the
dctrimcnt Of the producing community, he
brings pressure to hear which immedi-
ateIy causes it to cease. Where such u
condition exists he will always consider it
favor to be Informed of it, 1t is certain

The terrible tragedy which WAS enacted
IN this village last Saturday afternoon
should be ~ life long lesson to all who
thoughtlessly and carclcssly handle danger

accidents occurring, and beyond thrill of
horror at the sudden and awful manner in
which ii fellow being is launched into eter

OF sorrow for the victim, the lesson is for
gotten. We may censurc Mr. O'Brcu' for
his rscklessness, but he is deserving of pity
to his dying day, lie will remember with
anguish, remorse and horror the deed of
Saturday-in mich he in moment of

plunged family into mourning, widowed
young and happy wife-blasted her lie,
yes and ruined his own While we sor-
row and mourn for the dead, We also pity
the misery and anguish of the living lie,
who iii measure was responsible for that
heard of similar tragedies, we still fail to
profit by the lesson. 1t may be that to.

either be in our grave or have hurled ~
fellow being into eternity by just such
criminal carelessness.
There is a Jaw in this state prohibiting
people from carrying concealed weapons;
but in this instance that law does notapply,
as men who follow Mr.. O'Brien's calling,
usually go armed, their business is such
that they are often Obliged to carry large
sums OF money about their person, and
that in the most out of the way places
where there are no facilities for depositing
or forwarding it, and hence they go pre-
pared to protect their lives aud property.
