SERIOUS FALL.-During the time the
crowd attending the performance Of the
mnstrels at Brant's hall last Friday night
were coming out, Mr.. 7. C. Stephens mis-.
took the exit from the platform below, and
walked straight of. where there should be
a railing to prevent such accidents. In the
fall he struck heavy iron bound trunk with
his knee, and the result was compound
fracture Of the knee-cap. He was conveyed
to his room aud attended to at once. He is
having serious time with it, and is pretty
sure to be crippled for life.

The GAME LAw.-As the farmers in the
vicinity of Vancouver have this fall made
vigorous efforts to protect their property
from the ravages of careless hunters, and
there has been some feeling ON the subject,
we print below the law, as copied from the
original bill on file:
Any owner or other legal occupant of any
enclosed premises, used for meadow, pas
ture, cultivation or other use. may post at
the usual place or places of entering upon
the same, written or printed notices, forbid
ding persons to trespass upon said premises,
for the purpose of hunting or pursuing game;
and thereafter if any person shall enter upon
said enclosed premises for the purpose Of
pursuing game, without first obtaining the
consent of the owner or legal occupant there
of, he shall be deemed guilty Of INSIDE
meanor, and for every such offense the tres
passer shall be liable to fine Of ten dollars,
one-half of which shall be paid to the owner
or legal occupant Of such premises, and the
other half into the school fund in the county
in which the act of trespass is committed.
For the carrying out of the provisions of this
section the owner or legal occupant Of the
premises may arrest the trespasser upon his
premises, taken in the act, without war.
rant, and take him before the nearest Jus.
tice of the Peace for trial, or may have a

tute an enclosure.

quiie for Mr.. Kalloch and tell him a

TWO NARROW ESCAPES.

While colored man WIS engaged in
wheeling coal upon a river steamboat
lying at one of the wharves last nieht he
missed his footing, and all fell into
river. The current was running strong at
the time and the man ws carried under
the boat 10 an instant. After a minute Or
two he emerged, into sight and splitting
and sputtering, drifted astern. He was
pulled ashore nearly exhausted. A lady
living at Fifth street near the railroad
saw a man dead drunk, lying across the
track list night about o'clock. Noticing
shifting engine approaching rapidly
up the track on which the man lay, she
caught him and after much difficulty
succeeded in getting him out of the way
She was just In tune, for had he remain
ed on the rails an instant longer, he
would have been killed.
