Ex-President Cleveland.

"a Harrison Republican" writes
to the New York Press, Republican
paper: lone of the regular passen-
gers on the Fall River boats every
Monday night is Ex-President Cleve-
land who is returning from his Sun
at Marion. He moves quietly about
in way not ut all different from that
of hundreds of others who nightly
crowd the boat, and nothing in his
manner courts any particular favor
or attention. Indeed his whole per-
sonal bearing, and the unostentious
way in which he has gone back to his
Ian practice, have taught our people
d lesson in citizenship. He has done
as much as any of our ex-Presidents
to solve the problem so often discus
sed rs what shall become of our Pres
idents ON their retirement from office.
However much Republicans may diff
fer from Mr.. Cleveland politically
there is no valid ground for pessim-
ism in regard to our republic, when a
man who has been President over Co.
coo, 900 of people enters diligently
and contentedly upon his work in an
infinitely more restricted field and
takes his place beside thousands of
others in the struggle for liveli-
hood.

The Richmond (Va.) State of
Wednesday, contained the following
remarkable story: MIR. Edward B.
Calling, who is the travelling sales
man for AIR. w. 4. Hancock, of
Richmond, received telegram on
Sunday calling him home, from his
mother, who resides at their beauti-
full homestead, Spring Hill, in
Prince George county, near Peters,
burg, and Immediately on the Apo
mattox river, to witness the sinking
of large area of land, ON which were
giant oaks 100 feet high and numer-
Gus other trees of gigantic proper
tions, which have sunk as they grew,
leaving only the tops of tile branches
peering above the walls, and being
just enough left to reach to the re-
naming surface. The sinking of the
earth carried with it about ten or
twelve acres of land, leaving an ug-
ly-looking wall as solid as granite on
either side, varying from ten to sixty
feet, perfectly perpendicular. There
has also formed q beautiful crystal
lake of mineral water, eight to ten
feet deep, covering about two acres
in which the growing corn protrudes,
leaving only the tassel visible. A
most singular feature of this sinking
of earth is that the river, which is
500 yards, the bottom of which is
forced above the surface about eight
feet high, extending 200 yards in
length, resembling fertilization in
the middle of the river or just to the
edge of the channel It will be re-
membered that singular freak in
the shape of a crater or blowout re-
Gently occurred on this farm, the
sound Of which resembled distant
thunder, and was distinctly heard
twenty-miles, and is at the beginning
of this wonderful caving in, and is
really the primeal cause of this phe-
nomenon. There are numerous ffs-
sures three feet wide, and as yet
have no bottom K stone thrown
down can be heard descending its
downward course, apparently finding
no bottom.

Another Reservoir Gives Way.

IIAGERsTowE, July 17.--This is a
most unfortunate season for res
erVoir breaking. The reservoir OF
the Washington County Water com
pany, located near Cayetown, this
county, and from which Hagerstown
obtains its water supply, gave way
yesterday morning, but, fortunately,
the precautions taken prevented any
serious damage to property in that
locality.
A large volume of water had aCcu-
mulated in the reservoir from the re-
cent rains, and last night the pres
sure upon the embellishments became
50 uraat that tho erlr,.At 49,.
the reservoir was cut off and the
waste-pipe at the bottom of the res.
ervoir and the fire plugs in Hagers-
town were opened. BY these means
the water fell very rapidly
The pressure had been so great,
however, that early yesterday morn
ing a portion of the bank gave way,
but the water passed off quietly and
without doing any damage, except
slightly flooding some of the fields in
the vicinity. The citizens of Cave
town, which lies below the reservoir,
passed an anxious night.
1t will take several thousand dol
lars to repair the damage done. The
company will at once make the ne
cessary repairs. Hagerstown will be
supplied with water from the Attling
dam until the repairs are made.

A Steel Cruiser of the Air.

The Aerial exhibition association
has been organized in Boston, Mass.
with G. NJ. Ransom, of modern light
and neat, treasurer, r. NJ. Bowlby,
cl airman, and Charles B. Basford,
chairman of the board of trustees
Tie object of the association is to as
sist DR.. A. De Bausset to construct a
steel air-ship upon the vacuum prin-
ciple. The ship is to be constructed
entirely of thin steel plates of the
strongest possible tensile strength
and thoroughly braced inside by q
new development in mechanics to re-
sist the stress. of the pressure of the
'IutnusPurre when 81 partial vacuum IS
obtained. 1t is expected to lift 200
passengers and so tons of mail or
other matter, and also to carry all tie
machinery and apparatus, with cleo
trical power sufficient to give speed
to the ship of at least 20 miles an
hour. DIR. De Bausset has applied
for permission to build the ship at
tho Charlestown navy-yard. A ma
tional subscription is being made to
secure the necessary fund. The cost
is expected to be $3.50, 900. DR.. De
Bausset claims that his plans are APP
proved by the most eminent scientists
and engineering experts in this
country.

ataI Accident.

Alfred Denhison, son of MIR. and
Mrs. Wolfred n. Ames, of this village,
was accidentally shot while visiting at
his uncle's. Ernett Ames, near Frank
lin Center, Que, on Friday last. He
had been out in the woods with two
cousins, shooting at squirrels with a
small revolver. At about six O clock
in the afternoon, as the boys were
about starting homeward, one of the
lads handed the revolver to another
with the assurance that its chambers
were all empty, This one and Alfred
began playing with each other-the
former personating an officer and the
latter a robber. The pistol was pointed
ut Alfred and the act of firing at
tempted, when to the boys horror
it appeared that one cartridge re-
manned unexploded. The shot struck
Alfred just above the ear. penetrat-
ing to the opposite side of the skull.
Help WAS secured as soon as possible
and the wounded boy removed to his
uncle's home. He spoke repeatedly
after receiving the shot, but expired
the next morning at about 8 O'Clock.
Mrs. Armes was telegraphed for, but
did not arrive until after the boy had
become unconscious. Mr.. Ames was
in West Virginia st the time, and,
being appraised Of the accident, started
Mt once for home. He knew nothing
of its fatal result until he met his
wife and the child remains at Cher
ubusco on Monday morning. The
accident is one of special sadness and
trying circumstances. 1t bereaYes
parents without the consolation of
parting or of opportunity for loving
ministrations. Warm and deep sym
pathy is in the hearts of all their
friends for them in their great affiie-
ton. The lesson ofthe tragedy ought
to need no enforcement. The folly
of even pointing any fire-arm at any
person under any circumstances ex-
cept where injury is intended is so
| palpable that no hoy who learns the
incident ought ever to be guilty of
it.-Ealone IN. " Palladium.
Mr.. Wolfred N. Ames, the father
of the young man whose death is
above chronicled, is special agent

resenting that Company for some
