A private letter from Mrs. Jenvey
says one Of the sights Of her trip home
was the most distressing and horrible abe
ever saw. 1t was the lower portions OF
the body Of a young girl being carried
around and around in the whirlpool at
Niagara. The girl and her mother were
bathing in the river above the falls, when
she stumbled and lost her footing, and
the current caught her and carried her
over the falls. Her poor little body was
torn to pieces. and all that has been seer
of it is the part now in the whirlpool.
Her sgonized parents offer $500 reward
for anyone who will get it. but no one
has dared TO venture In. How long II

that the largest gold bar ever made In

We do not believe the great case OF
