GUITEAU's CAsE.-A dispatch from Boston
dated March 18th saws.

A member of the Guiteau family returned
from New York tonight, and has since been
advised by telegraph that a new plan of action
has been adopted by the relatives of Guiteau
in their efforts to save him from the galiows.
1t is claimed that important evidence upon the
alleged former insanity of the prisoner has
been unearthed in New York, and they will
file motion for new trial based upon this
new evidence In addition it is stated that
Ar. Scoville will no longer act as counsel for
dulteau and he has already left Washington
tor Chicago. 1t is also stated and not denied
by the Gulteau family that Gen. Butler will
succeed MIR Scovlle as chief. Whether or not
Mr. Reed shall be placed in the counsel for
the defense, and the names of the other law
yers engaged, cannot at present be ascer-
tanned.

IMMIGRATION STATISTICs.-During the Jan

i'll January, 1882, as compared with january
1881. For the seven months ended January
81, 1881, the immigration from the Dominion
of Canada was 76130; for the like period
ended in 1882, only 1889, showing that the
newly opened wheat fields OF Manitoba and o.
the great uneXpiored Northwestern CANADIAN
domain have really proved very attractive to
Canadian farmers. This is confirmed upon

New IRON SHIPBUILDING YARD.-A new
Ii on shipbuilding yard is to be established at
Alexandria, Va, and furnished with COM
plete modern plant, capable of turning out any
class of iron vessel. From what we can learn,
The enterprise is backed by ample capital and
leading men, prominent among them being
Hon, Guy G. Goss, OF the wooden shipbuild-
ing firm OF Goss, Sawyer g. Packard, OF Bath,
Me. 1t will be remembered that some time
ago the leading citizens OF Bath held series
Of meetings at which was discussed the ad-
visibility OF starting iron shipyards on the
Aalnebec river, and quite an amount of CAPT
tai was promised. The discussions at that
time awakened considerable interest and
probably this Alexandria enterprise is one of
The agitation. We understand that the Alex
andria company have under their control pat

out very superior vessel at much less cost

A THRILLING AccInENT REcAIIrn-M

A THRILLING ACCIDENT REcALLED.-Mrs
j. NJ. McIeer, who died at her home in
Wytheyil!e, Va. on Monday last, was the
relict Of Col Piper, who gained national
fame through his perilous feat Of climbing the
Natural Bridge, in Rockbridge county, while
Il student at Washington College, (now Wash
ngton and Lee University During the
summer of 1918 he and three other students
obtained permission to spend day from the
college, and they went about twelve miles to
the bridge. AS soon as they arrived, in youth
ml glee they commenced the ascent of the
precipitous sides OF the bridge, and cut figures
and names upon the stone. Young Piper
spied the name of Washington standing above
the thousands OF others, and started upward to
write his name above that of the first Presi-
dent. He made laborious ascent and in
cribed his name fifty feet above that of Wash
tngton, and continued upward cutting his
fooiholds with knife, until he stood 40 feet
above his Mortified companions, whose entreat-
les Ior his return had become more and
more difficult to hear. From this point he
turned for the first time and looked down
ward, TO see that return was impossible; and
10 advance Was almost impossible, since the
knife that had carried him so far was nearly
worn to the handle. Each moment was one
OF intense suspense to his companions, who
from below watched for and expected his de-
atruction at any time. Painfully he worked
his way few feet higher, until the knife was
useless, and he hung seemingly upon the face
Of the preclpice. In that position, between
nope and fear, he lived what seemed years,
until rescue came from above in the shape of
lasso, and he was drawn up to the top of the
bridge, where he tainted from exhaustion.

The Country Boy From Home.

There comes time when the country lad

cramped up. He longs for the freedom of the
world. He takes his fathers hand in good

crown his labors with fortune IN about a
year and a half and, retiring to the haunts of
his youth, bring forth the hand-maiden of his
heart TO surroundings fitted for her wonderful
goodness and sweetness. So he thinks.
ARRIVING at the goal of his ambition he is
charmed and delighted; blocks on blocks of
fine houses, the hurry -burly of the enormous
traffic OF the streets, the brilliant show wild.
dows, all tend to fill his eyes with wonder
and his heart with enthusiasm. He enjoys
himself hugely. Night comes, and after
briet view OF the brillancy of the streets by
gaslight, he leisurely finds his way to his
boarding house. He half way remembers that
he has forgotten something, that the COWS are
not MIXED or wood for the kitchen fire
brought in, but the confusion OF sights he has
seen has tired out his receptive brain, and he
YEARLY tumbles INTO bed. The moment his
body touches the easily yielding spring mat
tress he is wide awake; the strangeness of bis
surroundings and the slowly dawning truth
that he is among strangers seems to pry open
his eyeilds and keep them open. He grows
more waketul, the curious sounds that he
hears put him on the alert least some deed of
violence is being committed in the next room,
and he starts up in cold sweat dozen times
to find everything all right.
