Saved by n Pole.

About four o'clock yesterday morning
the good people residing along the river front were
startled by cries of murder" help &c. The
cries came from the direction OF Captain John
Faunces fishing nets, at the forks of the channel
and Mr.. Pote Faunce manned boat and pro-
ceeded to the nets, and there found Mr.. William
Tucker, the well-known pump maker of South
Washington, in water up TO his neck, clinging to
pole, crying Justify for help. 1t appears that
Mr.. Tucker had gone out in Captain Faunce's boat
to bail the fish from the nets into the boat, and
that he overloaded the boat and caused her to
sink from under him. Mr.. Tucker, finding tho
boat going down, sprang to the pole and made the
outcries for help. when he was rescued from his
perilous position by Mr.. Pote Faunce Mr.. Tucker
AYERS that if he had been allowed 10 remain cling
ing to the pole few minutes longer he would have
been compelled to release his hold from exhaustion
and been drowned

CENSUS APPROPRIATION EXHAUSTED
Probable Discharge OF the EatIre EoEee
IA :. Few Days.

The appropriation for the Census
Bureau is about exhausted. Only few thousand
dollars remain unexpcndei, and yet some of the
most important and valuable work remains unfin-
ished. General Walker is unwilling to create
deficiency, and, as consequence, the various en-
ployees will be discharged at once and the Offices
closed. A skeleton organization viii be retained
for the purpose ofTeceiving and filing correspond
ence, but the functions of the Office are practically
at an end, at least until the next session OF
Congress, when further appropriation may be
asked to complete the work General Walker
explains the unexpected deficiency by saying that
he was led into the effort 20 obtain valuable in
dustrial statistics not at first contemplated, but
which were too important to ignore, and which
necessitated unprovided-for expense. He also
complains that many of the clerks employed were
inefficient and much money was wasted in the
employment of inexperienced and incompetent
help, it being small part of his task to train the
thousands of employees into some appreciation OF
the methods of the Office

= Return to life.

The party of excursionists who went
down the river on Captain Draney's tug Decora-
ton Day met with many strange adventures.
They put into PiScataway Creek aud invaded the
quiet precincts of Pennington. 1t appears that
the good people of that town were observing the
day with commendabie patriotism and laziness
The explorers were shocked to find on
the banks Of the creek hat, q pair Of socks,
and other evidences of the recent presence of
man. They looked yainly for some time for the
body the supposed suicide, and at last found it
under the shade OF a great tree. The Board of
Health physicians in the party gathered about
the PROSTATE form and were about TO make a
post morton, when they were aStonished by
unmistakable signs of life. The deceased
rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and then,
in the choice language of the South, remarked,

ward discovered that this was one of the
most distinguished legal lights of Farming
ton, and that he was observing the day according
to the usual custom of the country.
