An Adventure at Lacbine Rapids.

Canadian tourists, or those familiar
with the river st. Lawrence, need not TO
be told of the picturesque danger Of the
Iachine rapids. Many traditions and
some authentic stories are preserved Of
luckless persons WHO have been cn gulkd
there, and the "shooting" of the rapids
even by skillful pilots is always an anx-
ious and delicate piece OF work.
Another sad example was recently
added 10 the record Of calamities at this
celebrated locality. In ttlis case, az in
others, the presence and eXertions Of
70 nous pilot-named Daillebout in the
present instance-failed 10 avert the
catastrophe. Ten lumbermen, under Dali
lebout's command, started early in The
morning from Caughnawaga village To
make the descent of the Lachine rapids.
Abother, raft under Baptiste, also we'll

from the same place; and those who
were on board the last raft saw all that

Radrer1nr a Witness.


The court and jury, As well As the
spectators. generally enjoy the scene
when a lawyer, in an attempt 20 badger
or brow beat a witness comes of second
best in the encounter. A correspondent
recalls an amusing incident of this sort
which happened few years ago IN ar
Albany courtroom.
The plaintiff. who was a lady, was
called 10 testify. She got on very well,
and made favorable impression on the
ury under the guidance of her counsel
Hon. Lyman Tremain. until the oppos
ing counsel. Hon. Henry Smith, sub
jectcd her TO "A sharp cross-examiflalion.
This so confused her that she became
faint, and fell TO the floor in = swoOn.
Of course this excited general SYM
pathy in the audience, and Mr.. Smith
saw that his case looked badly.
An expedient suggested itself by
which TO make the swooning appear
like piece oi stage trickery, and ibus
destroy sympathy for her. The lady's
face in swooning had turned purple red.
and this fact slIgEested the new line OF
attack. The next witness was a middle
aged lady. The counse. asked:
Did you see the plaintiff faint short
time agoP" 'F A
Yes. SIR"
People turn pale when they faint,
don't they2'
A great sensation in the court, and an
evident confusion of witness. But in a
moment she answered: "No, not

"A writer interested in the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company says it has been
ascertained that the company is only $40 900
behind its fixed charges for the first six
months of the year,which is a gain OF $40 900
over the corresponding halfyear ofls79. The
gain is entirely on the companys road, the
Lehigh and Susquehanna, whose contrbu-
ton to its treasury of 80 per cent of the gross
earnings has been $4,000 more than for
the first half of 1879. The company's loss
on coal operations was $50 900 more than in
the first six months Of last year. The West
Jerseys gross earnings for the six months
were $257OO0, about the same as last year.
The expenses were, however, somewhat
greater, owing to work necessary to accom-
modate the traffic of the West Jersey aud
Atlantic. The earnings for tho past
month were in excess Of those forany month
since the road was built. This company
will eventually become the controlling
shareholder in the West Jersey and At
lantic.
