nisannearance of a Mountain Lake.

tFgtfttu k-fctsg EUteflFtcc
Red Fish Lake, above SawtOOth City,
on the summit of the SawtOOth range of
mountains, in the Wood River region,
Idaho. has dropped through the bottom.
The lake had an area of several miles and
was many fathOms in depth. 1t was on
the summit of one of the peaks of the
range, some 1000 feet elevation above
the sea, and surrounded by heavy timber,
which rendered it a delightful place of re-
sort in summer for camping, fishing, and
boating parties. The lake has been there
since the white man has known the cOun-
try, says the HALEY Times. but lately
the day of the occurrence is not known
the bottom fell out. The country forma-
tiOn is granite and limestone, and an i'm
mense assure has opened, whether caused
by separation or settling of the earth's
surface or from volcanic action, is not
known. At present the bed of the lake is
dry, and presents the appearance of a
deep gorge or valley on the summit of the
mountains. This lake has always con-
tanned millions of red fish, and been
favOrite resort for bear, deer, and other
game. Where the fish went to is as much
a mystery as where the water went.

Howard Pierce, IL year old son of
Benjamin Pierce, of this city, narrowly
escaped a terrible death yesterday. The
Pierce family occupy rooms on the third
floor of No. sos Market street, and yester-
day morning about 8 O'Clock the child
was lying on a sofa in night clothes Oppo-
site window facing the police station.
Mrs. Pierce had her back to the
window, and turned round just in
time to see the child's body disap-
pear. Half wild with fright the mother
tore down stairs expecting. to find
the mangled remains of her boy ON the
pavement below: but upon reaching the
ground she was attracted by screams, and
looking up saw her child suspended-in
the air by his nightgOwn, which had for
tunately caught on a nail projecting from
the window sill. The mother shrieked
and started up stairs, fearing the boy
would fall before she could reach him.
The cloth was strong, however, and the
boy was rescued from his perilous posi-
ton unlnjured. After the excitement had
subsidized Mrs. Pierce fell in dead faint
across the window sill.

The Postmaster General deserves the
thanks of subscribers and publishers for
his order TO Postmasters respecting news
papers and periodicals. The Postmaster
General gives PJstmasters to understand
that newspapers and periodicals are to
be treated as sacredly as letters. and for
warded as promptly. \ good many Post
masters and their clerks have a habit of
reading newspapers and magazines pass
ine through the mails before forwarding
them to their destination, and it often
happens they forget to put them back in
their wrappers. 1t has been suspected
that they sometimes loan them to their
friends The average Postmaster has
very little regard for the rights of subscri-
bers. so far as newspapers are concerned.
After taking paper out of its wrapper and
reading it he is just as likely as not to use
it for wrapping paper or throw it into the
waste basket. This practice of the Post
master Is often the occasion Of indignant
letters from subscribers to editors asking
why their paper is not forwarded. Gen.
eral Gresham deserves a good word from
the newspapers.

Suppose the New York Times tells the

to collecting 5000, 100000 from the people
and then distributing it among the States,

would estop Democratic criticism of Re-
publican management of the tariff ques-

The citizens of Monticello, Fla, are
anxious to secure a branch road to con-
meet with the proposed ThOmasville and
Tallahassee Railroad. The Page syndi-
cate, which controls the charter of tine
latter road, prescribed terms that are
thought excessive. The Monticello
Constitution throws out the hint
that so far from the Page syndicate COM
plotting the proposed road it is rather
likely that the Plant Investment Com
pany will secure control of it, build it and
make it part of the Plant system of rail
ways, which has already done so
much for the development of Flor
ida. Should the CONSTRUCTORS
surmise prove correct, it is more than
probable that the Monticello branch will
be constructed, because the trade of
Jefferson county would, undoubtedly,
sustain it.
