Narrow Escape.--A correspondent at
Edwards Ferry, under date OF the 10Th
instant, sends us the following, which came
too late for our last issue;
Last night the village was alarmed at the
supposed sad fate Of five citizens, Messrs.
Jarboe e. Offutt, merchants OF this place and
proprietors Of the ferry, with Mr.. Cooley
and two colored men undertook To run the
ferry boat after night, for the purpose Of
taking Mr.. Taylor to Virginia. On reach
ing the middle Of the river they found slush
ice running, which made it impossible TO
get to either shore. After drifting down the
river for two miles the boat lodged on "A
rock, where II remained until the next day.
After intense suffering from cold and blind
ing snow for six hours the crew escaped by
means Of "A skiffto the Virginia shore, where
they were taken care Of by Mr.. Jack Dove.
Next morning party Of friends went to
their rescue and by two o'clock the follow
ing evening succeeded in dislodgng the boat
and landing them safely at home in time To
participate in an impromptu dance which
was gotten up in honor of the rescue"

A Step for MOrality.-From moral
standpoint the Agricultural Society could do
nothing less than they did last Saturday in
arranging for the prohibition of the sale of
liquors and the operation Of games of chance
on the grounds during their exhibitions /;
but it is questionable whether extreme NOR
atty and an ordinary cattle show can get
along agreeably together. The sale of liquor
on the grounds, while it has been a conven-
fence to many, has been an inconvenience
to many others. The games of chance never
did much harm and never any good, but
they afforded amusement for many who
would rather throw rings for jack knives
than see hig fat huh stand on his tail But
the whole is too mn IA Of II question to hc
argued justly in limited space and not Of
enough Importance To Justify much effort
The best argument for or against the present
move, so far as the question of success for
the Society is concerned, is experience
Just wait until after the next Fair and then
we'll know all about it. We might talk our
heads off inst now, which would bring us
right back To where we started The next
exhibition will test the usefulness of the
step which has just been taken.-FredercL

WESTMINSTER ABBEY IN DANGER

Every Englishman who takes patri
otic pride in the splendid examples Of
ancient architecture still left to US viii
receive with deep regret an announce
ment which we are enabled to make
The exterior stone work of Westminster
Abbey, which has long been source OF
uneasiness to the Dean AMI Chapter, has
now been found to be disintegrating SO
rapidly as to be almost source of dan
ger. OF late years the abbey has grown
blacker and blacker, until it is now hard
to say which of the two metropolitan
cathedrals is the grimier. 1t is the con-
stant deposit of harmful particles which
has been silently doing the mischief that
las now become SO serious. The deci
sion arrived at by the Dean and Chapter
by the light of their professional advice
is, we understand, that there is 70 alter
native but to reface the entire fabric OF
the abbey. If it really be that there is
no escape from this course, we must make
UP our minds to the inevitable; but the
nation will demand that so hallowed a
piece of national property shall not be
rudely or hastily dealt with. If 1t be es-
sential to hes.safety of the abbey that its
stone work should be refaced, there is
nothing to do but to reface it AS quickly
as may be, aud with stone which shall be
somewhat more durable than that of
which the houses of Parliament were
built, Most people, we imagine, have a
greater veneration for the interior Of the
abbey than the exterior, but the Dean
and Chapter-who, we feel sure, may be
trusted to act cautiously and reverently
In the matter-must remember that un
less very good cause can be shown for SO
extreme step they will have to face a
storm of public obloquy such as has not
in modern days been aroused in England
upon purely artistic question.-LondOH

A ROUND MILLION.

The Binghamton IN. W News is re-
sponsible for the statement that new
electric machine has been invented and
Sperry, resident of Cortland, which is
thought by good judges to meet the re-
quirements Of the times to such a degree
that he he's secured the sum of 81 900,
900 for his share in it from interested
parties in Chicago. While at work up
on it bringing it to perfection his pecu-
MARY necessities obliged him to seek aid
from couple of CortIand's well-knCwn
capitalists, but in this he failed. Not to
be discouraged, and with the undaunted
pluck of an inventor, he subsequently Sc
cured the desired aid of the Cortland
Wagon Company, member of which
firm furnished him with the necessary
means to go onJwith his invention until
he brought it to that degree of perfection
that he could privately exhibit it and
apply for patent. Shortly thereafter
the inventor took his electric machine to
Syracuse, and put into the hands of some
parties to test aud examine it. They
were so well satisfied with its workings
that they offered him 100000 for his
right therein. He left the machine with
these parties for some time for their test
and examination, which eventuated in
the offer above named, but which was
not accepted The new electric machine
is said to be simple and unlike anything
else yet brought forth in this direction
and it is thought it may supersede, or a
least prove a very powerful and affective
rival to- all the other electric machines
thus far III use. The inventor began
work upon it when he was but 20 years
of age, and being now in his 23rd year,
he has brought his work to such a state
of completion in three short years that
parties in Chicago, to whom he has shown
it, and who at once became interested in
1t, have offered 81, ZOO, 900 for the patent,
which has been accepted. The young
man, we are told, is an orphan, and poor;
but his fortune AID name are now made,
on all Of which we heartily congratulate
him.

COMPLEXION OF The SENATE. The
composition of the next Senate is getting
narrowed down to fine point. Michi-
gan is the only State that has failed to
elect, and the breakup of Senator Fer
ry's forces through failure to form a fu-
sion, followed by his financial disaster,
will undoubte ly result in the speedy
election of some other Republican when
the Legislature reassembles after its brief
recess. There appears to be little un-
certainty as to the position of Mr.. Sabin,
Senator WINDOWS successor. He is a.
Republican, but was elected by Demo-
cratic votes, and is said to have pledged
himself to independent action. IF he
should take up the role laid down by
David Davis, the Senate would stand 81
Republicans, Sc Democrats, Readjusters
and l Independent Considering the
anti-monopoly complications in Nebraska,
the Republicans appear to have come
cut of the contest in very good shape.
The Omaha Republi can says of General,
Manderson, whose character and abili-
ties are highly spoken of on all sides,
that "the railroad question so far as it eff
fects active politics, may be considered
shelved by the election of man who
has never been favorite of the corpora
tons on the one hand, or the tool Of
the Gamagogues on the other, but who
has large ability to discern the right
and an unaltering readiness to embrace
it. t"-B0ston Herald.

AMERICAN GRAPES AND APPLES
From the long fruitful vineyards of Ohio
comes the complaint, heard sooner or la
ter in all grape-growing countries, that
peculiar blight is effecting the vines, les
sening the yield and compelling the up
roofing of many vines. This is bad news,
for although the wine yield Of Ohio does
not appeal to every palate, the Catawba
grape, the supply of which comes mostly
from Ohio, is toothsome fruit and the
only American of its species that can be
bought in midwinter. Concerning the
wine, however, the growers will be the
principal sufferers, for apples grow nearly
everywhere in the Northern States, and
from their juice can be made and is made
in great quantities an alleged wine that
millions Of selfstyled experts cannot dis
tinguish form the genuine article. The
wine yield at home and abroad will not
diminish while Americas countless apple
orchards do their duty.
A PREMATURE CRUsADE-During the
week of prayer lately held in Pennsyl-
vania church congregation one OF the
brethren had some remarks to make about
temperance and the habit which certain
people had of drinking cider. "I am 60
ing to pray to the LGrd,' and he added,
"that any one in this congregation who
makes, or handles or sells the stuff shall
have burden of sorrow put upon him
until he turns from the error of his ways"
"When do you begin, Brother SMITH"
asked a toil-hardened granger, as he
rose up. ''To-night, Brother Tompkins
this very night" wish you wouldn't.
I've got forty barrels of cider on hand,
and | want you to give me twenty-four
hours in which to sell and ship After
that you can peel your coat and go in
six-horse power Wall Street NeDs.
There were 1 ,OS5 marriages in New
York citv last year. The statistics of
ages are interesting. Of the bridegrooms
4,126, and of the brides 1913, were un-
der % years of age. Then the relation
of ages began to change. Between %
and IS the number of bridegrooms was
5,017, and of brides only 2,868. Beyond
these years the figures lose their interest,
because in the case of the brides at least
the ages become an unknown quantity.
Fifteen men became husbands after pass
ing 70 years, while only one bride
pleaded guilty of more than three-score
and ten. But the statistics prove that
marriage, like death, has all seasons for
Its own.
