Lives Lost at Niagara.

A much larger number of persons
than is generally supposed have lost
their lives at Niagara. Falls, though
few Intentionally throw themselves into
the river as did Thomas Hilson of
Philadelphia, recently. During the
past quarter of century more than
sixty persons have gone over the falls.
OF those who go over the American
falls the bodies are seldom recovered,
while those who 60 over the Canadian
falls usually are. The reason assigned
for the everlasting disappearance of
persons who 90 over the American falls
is that the jagged rocks which lie hid
den in the whirl and foam at their feet
hold them in perpetual embrace, or
grind them to pieces. 1t is said that
the larger proportion of those who fall
prey TO the falls are boatmen. who.
crossing and recrossing the river thou
sands of times, acquire over-confdence
in their knowledge of the current, and
finally become so Indifferent to the dam
ger that sometime, when least antici-
pating it, they find themselves helpless
in the current and rapidly drift
ing down to certain death.
