TIE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Higher thnm Niagara.

Two members of the Bowdoin college
oxploring party recently returned to their
schooner off the coast of Labrador after
trip to the Grand Falls. The spray, which
was visible for 20 miles, rose in a cloud
rom the descent of the water, and the
solid rock beneath their feet trembled per-
ceptiblv. From the falls the water flows
through a canon formed of archen rock.
The height of the falls is POO feet, the rap
ids increasing the total altitude to 500 feet.
Having completed the observation of the
falls. the explorers kept on a few miles
above to height where, from a peak
cbristened by them "Mount Hyde-Bow-
dom" they had "a fine view. At this point,
their provisions being nearly gone, they
started to return. On reaching the point
where they had left their boat, they found
that the camp fire which they had built
had consumed the boat and with it their
whole stock of provisions, a gun and an
octant. With a small Ratchet for their on
w implement, they constructed a small
raft. On five successive RATS made in this
way they traversed the 300 miles to the
mouth of the river enduring the greatest
hardships.
The falls are reported to have been seen
by two employees of the Hudson Bay COM
panv. but no authentic account of any such
discovery has been given. The successful
result of the expedition is due chiefly to
the heroic efforts of Messrs. Crazy and
Cole, and Bowdoin college may well be
congratulated by her sister colleges for the
addition which she has made to the here
tofore scant knowledge of the geography
of Labrador.

An Earthquake in San salvador.

4 despatch to the New York Herald
from San Salvador says that millions of
dollars worth of property and many lives
were destroyed in that republic by an
earthquake last week Wednesday. Hardly
a city in the country, except those along
the coast, escaped the CONFUSION. At
the city of San Salvador the shock last
ed 20 seconds. During this time the earth
rose and fell in long waves and strong men
were unable to keep their feet. The panic
stricken people flocked to the open ground
outside of the city. Temporary shelters
were thrown up wherever possible, but
nearly all the men and great many of the
women and children had only the sky for
a covering. The towns throughout the
country suffered more severely than the
capital, several being destroyed.

The Peach Crop Melted the Farmers of
Three states S2,OOO,OOO.

Philadelphia has eaten up 100000 bas-
kets of peaches during this season, and
has paid nearly $500, 600 for the luscious
feast. The great peach crop is now about
gathered, only few late varieties being
left in the orchards. Nearly 5000 carloads
have passed through Philadelphia from the
Delaware and Maryland orchards to vari-
GUS markets North and West. These cars
contained $4,000 baskets of fruit. This
is but half the crop, as fully S2,500,0OO bas-
kets have been shipped by rail South, and
by boats to Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New York. This is the largest crop of
peaches ever grown on the Delaware and
Maryland peninsula, except that of 1873.
New Jersey has grown about 100000
baskets of peaches, most of which found
their way to New York and New England
cities. The crop has Melted the Delaware
and Maryland farmers about 81 100000,
and the New Jersey growers about $780,
600. Consumers paid about S4,OOO,OOC
