The intense recent heat. says Geneva
special in the London Express, has had an
extraordinary effect on the Alps, which are
in places becoming barred Of Snow under
the fierce rays Of the sun, and are utterly
changing their shape and appearance.
Great crags and peaks 81 rock are emerging
on SUBMITS which never before in the
memory Of living man have been free from
snow. Huge masses Of ice are continually
breaking away and falling With thunderons
echoes into the valleys and ravines, and
svalanches have never before been 60 nu-
merous or extensive. The overcharged
mountain torrents have run wide Of their
banks, and have formed new and extended
channels, while the Swiss lakes are one

to the continual rush Of snow water from

together; the hour, four Of the after
noon; the scene, a shady spot upon the
beach which by common consent has
grown to be called Sir Johns atelier.

boulders for the foreground Of pic

little son.

eyes, every smile from the sweet lips

pleasant, slightly drawing voice
from the bank Immediately above, so
close to them that little Paul hears it
through his dreams, and half awakens.
1--WE have searched for the man it was
our duty to search for. In vain. We
give the man up. We sit down."

married.

The harvesting Of the immense corn
crop Of Salem County is giving farm
ers no little concern. Never was there
such q growth and never an equal

Missed His Footing.

Greencastle, Ind, Aug. III. F.
Johnson of Waveland was killed at the
Monon railway station by a north
bound passenger train. He was on his
way from French Lick Springs to his
home, and he expected to leave the
train at Charlottesville. He had been
riding in the day coach and as the
night was warm, it is supposed that
he stepped off the train to get fresh
air. He was seen by the expressmen
and others at the station, walking to
and fro on the platform. 1t Is evident
that he attempted to board the train
while 1t was in motion and missed his
footing.
