British American Hotel,” in Chipjiewa,
on the Canadian side, that on the even
ing of Thursday a little company came
to playamerry comedy. A little after
5 o’clock that evening the landlord,
Mr. William Plimimerfelt, standing
in the doorway of his inn, observed
a group of persons chatting gaily, ap
proaching from the river road. They
were three. The fast a young gen
tleman of about twenty-two years of
age, beardless and with an open, boy
ish face, carried a heavy valise. By
his side was a very pretty young girl,
of apparently eighteen, fashionably
dressed and attended by a little fellow
of ten or dozen years who brought up
the rear.
THE COMEDY OF LOVE.
The trio drew near the door and sa
luted the landlord smilingly. The lat
ter bowed politely, and stepping back
threw open the door of the little pub
lic parlor, on the left of the door as
you enter. The young gentlem wanted
rooms for himself, the young lady and
the little fellow the lady’s brother) and
they all wanted a nice supper. Then
he asked if there w as a jeweler in the
place, and was directed to a little shop,
near by, kept by a German, lie ran
over there to get his watch—an Amer
ican lever in a fine gold case—repair
ed, and before he came away, bought a
set of jewelry, consisting of earrings,
brooch, etc., for the young lady whom
he hud left in the inn. The jeweler
too, the number of the watch to be re
paired and asked the name of the pat
ron. The young man answered that
HIS NAME WAS M’COKMICK,
and afterwards in conversation stated
tnat he had lived in Detroit.
Beturning to the hotel the young
man soon presented himself before the
proprietor, with the girl on his arm
and the little fellow nt his side, and
asked for a boat, as they wanted to
row on tho river. Mr. Plummerfelt a
once explained the danger ot attempt
ing the passage of the river, and told
them finally that lie would let them
have a boat only on condition to n
promise that they would confine them
selves to
THE C'HllT’EWA CREEK,
a deep but sluggish stream, which he:e
empties into the Niagara. They all
promised readily and rowed merrily
up the crock. Near distillery—less
than half a mile above the village—
they were seen “rocking” the boat al
ter a must reckless fashion and amid
peals of latighter. A boatman near
tjic shore saw that in their excitement
rapidly filling, and that if they contin
ued their sport it would soon sink. He
rowed out to them, showed them their
danger and assisted to hail out their
boat. They returned to the hotel de
lighted ; and the young gentleman
drew a large roll of crisp new bank
notes, w rapped up in a piece of news-
paper, from tho hip or “pistol” pocket
of his pantaloons and handed Mr.
Plummerfelt an amount something in
excess of what he owed, saying, eare-
lesslv, “We shall stay several days.
When that is used up I will pay you
more.” Several persons saw the mon
ey then in possession of this gentleman,
and one note was noticed as of the
denomination of $100. The entire-
amount has been variously estimated
at from $‘200 to $1,500.
THE MARRIAGE LICENSE.
Before retiring on Thursday night
the young gentleman - asked where he
should apply for a marriage license.
He was informed that he would have
to go to Walland, the county site, in
order to obtain one. He then made
arrangements for a horse and buggy,
with which to ride over on the morrow.
Before noon he started, accompanied
by the young girl, whose brother was
left behind. During the absence of
the lovers the landlord at intervals
chatted with the child.
AN ELOFMENT.
“Is that pretty lady your sister?”
asked Mr. Plummerfelt.
“Yes, sir,” said the boy.
“Where do you live when at home ?”
“At Toronto.”
“And where does the young gentle
man live?”
“He lives in the States, sir ; but he
used to live in Toronto. He lived
there a little while.
“And so he and your sister are go
ing to be married ?”
“Yes, sir.”
This was on Friday, the 4th of
July. In the afternoon the lovers re
turned, their faces radiant.
“Can you give us a cold lunch,
landlord, and what shall I pay you for
the horse ?”
“The horse will be $3, sir,” and
Mr. Plummerfelt brought out a lunch
of cold meat, bread, cheese, ale and
milk.
The three sat down. They ate but
little meat, but drank freely of the
milk, and left the ale untouched. Af
ter the lunch.
THEY ALL WHISPERED TOGETHER
aud laughed merrily, and soon after
they left tlie hotel and walked down
to the creek.
One of the villagers noticed, as they
passed out from under the shadow of
the inn, with its leaves, as humble as
Uriah Heep, glisteniug in the sunshine,
a dara cloud suddenly obscured the
sun, and they seemed to walk as it un
der a dark canopy. When they ob
tained a boat, however, this time free
to go where they pleased and under
no restricting promise to the landlord,
they turned its prow down the stream,
and the sun came out from behind the
cloud and lighted up the waters and
threw a glory aliout the fair girl in the
stern of the uoat and dazed the eyes of
the boy in the bow. An old gentlemaw

moment too much engaged in looking

was very unskillful in the management
of the boat.
OUT IN THE CURRENT.
While the old gentleman was look
ing, the beat, floating with the current,
though little impelled by the oars,
passed out into the Niagara.
Now, at this point, less than three
miles from the cataract, it is possible,
but, as a matter considered compara
tively safe. But in crossing from the
Aroericau side, leaving the pier at the
Eriedepot, it is necessary to row up

IN THE RAPIDS.
As the water fence was passed find
the current was bearing them along
swiftly, specks of iron dotted the Wa
ter. The girl looked from these be
yond and caught a glimpse of the white
foam and mist thrown now and again
high iu air along the crest of the first
rapids, fjhc littered a erv and point-
fed in the direction of the first line of
descent above Goat Island. Her lover
looked over her shoulder, and an ex
pression of horror must have settled
none of the bright color in the girl’s
check that had made her the admira
tion of the rustics in tile village she
was leaving behind only a short half
hour before. Her lover grasped one
of the oars with frftntic haste aud with
both hands he thought to turn the boat
in the middle of that current running
like a mill race. He looked then, ap
parently, for the other oar—looked in
the bottom of the boat and on every
side frantically. He had lost the oar
in the moment of his first appalling
horror.
HE HAD DROPPED ONE O.VR IN THE
WATER,
and it was carried away in a second
lieyond sight and beyond sound, down
in the depths of the foaming abyss of
the rapids now yawning beneath them.
The boat darted down the first crest
of roclS, the stern swinging about, a
moment she was lost to view, and
then came swinging on, seeming to
point toward Cedar Island. Then she
rose on the point of a great foam cov
ered rock aud darted down bow fore
most, as though steered by invisible
hands. From the new tower the poor
wretches, who had gone so gaily forth
in the frail cockleshell were seen cling
ing to each other in the bottom of the
boat. Then a cloud of mist and spray
veiled the whole- from sight, and for
an instant only, just under the arch
of the rainbow over the cleft of the
Horseshoe Fall, the end of the boat
protraded from the foam and mist;
another instant, for the space of the
lightning’s flash, two black fragments
of the breaking boat were seen, and
that was all. The waters hid all else,
and have continued to bide all, save a
few fragments of the beat, which wash
ed ashore beneath the cataract.

in the papers and sent to individuals

The Louisville Library Lottery, it
was pretended, was an exception, that
it was conducted by honorable gentle
men, and was a great State charity. 5ln o e
eve.
The proof, however; shows it to have
been a mere device for enriching the
managers at the public expense. Like
all other Lotteries, it was an unmiti
gated humbug amis windlc.
The American Agricultint says in
reference to it:
“ The Louisville Library Lottery
has been before the public for some
time, and two concerts have taken
place. According to the Louisville
Commercial, the receipts from sale of
tickets to the first concert were $350,
000. After paying all expenses, “the
expert who got up the concert and
managed if, divided with the Library
Association the remainder, the share
of each $22,7(70 !” The receipts of the
second concert were $750,000, and the
managers and the Library divided
$00,000 each. If these figures of the
Commercial are correct, about nine
dollars of the people’s money were ex
pended in getting one dollar into the
treasury of the Library, and this
where Governors and all sorts of dig-
niiaries had a hand in the matter.
This may be taken as a fair sample of
all lotteries for charitable objects. We
have gone thus at length into this
matter as we hope not to be called
upon again, a9 we are nearly every
week, to give an opinion to this or that
lottery,- or gift concert, for whatever
object.

A NEW YORK HOTEL SCENE.
A professor of Cornell University
recently published a number of hints
as to “ What to do in cases of acci
dent.” One of these was as follows:
“ If you choke, get down on all fours
and cough.” One of our neighbors—
Woodward—read this, and determined
tr* remember if I lay before yesterday
he was eating his dinner alone, and he
clicked upon a piece of beef. Instant
ly he got down on all fours and began
to cough. Just then Mrs: Woodward
came in, and the impression made upon
her by Woodward’s extraordinary atti
tude and bis hiiVking was that he had
suddenly been attacked with hydro
phobia. So she first seized the pitcher
of water and took it from the room.-
Then she sent one of the girls upstairs
for the mattress, which was thrown
over Woodward, while Mrs. Wood
ward and the family sat on it and held
him down. The madder lie got, tlie
more alarming was Airs. Woodward
and the more he swore aud foamed at
the mouth, the more sheinsisted on the
hired girl giving an extra turn of the
clothes-line around his leg and tying
him to the stove. Then the doctor
dime and pulled Woodward’s arm from
under the mattress and bled him, and
put fly blisters on his feet, and pro
mised to come around in the evening
and shave his head, in order tocup his
scalp, so as to relieve his brain. When
the doctor called that night, Woodward
had a prize fight with him in the parlor;
aud after sending the medical man up
to the bath-room to wash the blood
: from his nose and cool his eye, Wood
ward went out to hunt for the Cornell
professor. There will be pain amt
anguish iu that institution of learning
when Woodward arrives. He means
war to the knife.—^-Maine Standard.
The Footless Child that was Beaten and
Stabbed lornot Walking Up-Stairs.
,■/ - . K | t
One day recently a respectably-
dressed man carried a well-known
child, muffled up aud apparently sick,
into Frenchs Hotel. He placed the
child on the stairs and begun to talk to
it in a very unkind, rough. way. The
attention of the guests was attracted,
and they gathered around.
“ You are able to walk up stairs by
yourself,” the man said, “and I won’t
carry you.” t-. b
“ Oh, oh,” the child sobbed, “ dp
carry me up; please pa, You
know ever since 1 was run over by the
car and lost both my feet I can’t walk
up stairs alone.” »
“ That’s all stuff,” the mau answer-’
ed ; “get up at once or I’ll make you.”
The poor child began to sob worse
than before) and the brutal man gave
it a severe fltunfp ov F the side of the
head. The child moaned piteously.
The indignation of the bystanders was
excited, and one iff them said to the
man, “Is that child yours?”
“ What’s that to you?” the man
answered; “I won’t tell you.”
“Be’s--my — father,” the' child
sobbed; ‘and—he—killed—my moth
er—-just—as—he’s—a going—to—kill
—me.”
The man doubled his firsi and made
as though hC was about to give the
child a savage blow. One of the by
standers interfered and said, “Say, if
you don’t stop this I’ll call a police
man. I never saw such ii brutal fath
er in all my life.”
The man began to fumble in bis
pockets, and the child cried out, “Take
care; he’s got a knife. He’s going to
stick you.”
Sure enough the man produced a
knife and opened it. The crowd slipped
off one by one, except two.
“ Bring an officer,” one of these
cried to a friend.
“If I am to be arrested,” the man
said, “it shall be for something," and
thereupon lie plunged the knife into
the body of the child. The ch 11
shrieked, “I’m innrde'red, I’in murder
ed,” and a crowd rushed to the spot.
The man quietly raised the child iu
his arms, and removing his hat said :
“Gentlemen, this is a wooden child.
I’m a ventriloquist, aud any little off
ering you may be pleased to make will
be very acceptable.”

Not so in North America, where people

Hillsboro’, Orange Co., N. G.,
July 1.—A case of suicide under very
distressing circumstances occurred
niglit bcti-ro ul Cudur Grove, dis
tant abotft four miles fttmr this town.
Airs. Maria Murray, a young hand
some and wealthy widow,'took her own
life by hanging herself with an extem-
yroriV.eil repe made of yarn, twisted to
gether. Airs. Murray was about
twenty-eight years of rge, and was the
widow of Wm. Murray, a man who
was universally respected in the eom-
nmuitv. She moved in tlie best
society in Orange county, and belonged
to an influential family. Before her
marriage she was one of the belles of
this vicinity. The melancholy circum
stances that led to her suicide are
these: AVlien Mr. Murray died, about
two years ago, ho had in his employ
ment as overseer of his farm, a man
named William II. White, a married
man and a verson of low breeding, hut
of considerable good looks. This man
continued to act as overseer after Mr.
Murray’s death, living on the place
with his wife. Some months ago Airs
White became jealous of Airs. Murray
and charged that an intimacy existed
between her and her husband/ Gossip
took up the tale, and for some time
past has been busy with the storv of
her intimacy. It'is said that about
two weeks ago facts were developed in
Mrs. Murray’s condition which amply
justified the worst that the gossip of the
neighborhood had asserted.- A six
months’ child was prematurely born,
which was buried by White and Airs.
Alurray in strong ashes. When this
fact became known, tlm suggestion was
made that the widow and White, as
well as the physician who had pre
scribed the medicine, should he arrest
ed for murder. White heard of this
and immediately disappeared! The
effect on Airs. Alurray was to depress
her exceedingly, She attempted to
destroy herself, and in order to prevent
her from carrying her purpose iuto
execution her friends and neighbors
kept a ceaseless watch upon her. At
least one person was always with her.
On Sunday night one of the neighbors
slept with her. Waking during the
night, she missed Airs. Alurray from
her side. A search revealed the fact
that Airs. Alurray had hanged herself
with the twisted yarn attached to an
iron ring in a room in the tipper story
of the house. The unfortunate woman
leavijs three children. White will be
arrested if he can be found.

On the dividing ridge separating the

explored the cave iti 1856, and when
the abyss was reached they dropped
down stones, which were from tliiee to
four seconds in falling, before fefltffi-.
ing the bottom, as was indicated by the
reverberations.
The tragic event connected with the
cave exists duly in tradition among
the old settlers, mid few persons of.tE;
present day a?e probably aw.^rp of it..
At s?n early period in the present cen
tury, as a'ready intimated, a hunter
from St. Louis named Lalmdic, con
nected with the families of that napie n
identified with the history of city, went
out to Franklin county, then mostly
a wildnerness, in pursuit of game. He
had his son, a small lad, with bin/,
They got on the trail of a bear, which,
they followed until the animal took Re
fuge in the cave. Nothing daunted,.
Air. Labadjc followed the bear into
its hiding-place and never came out
rflive. The hoy heard the report of a,
gnn and then all was silent.’ .He
watched and waited at tho mouth of the
cave for his father’s return, hut lie
came net back. The boy remained
near the cave all day and night, and
then gave up his father for lost.
With his hatchet he “blazed” the
trees around the spot, ill order to iden
tify the place, and then retumcjl home.
Whether search was made or not is
not known, but the huntc-r, it is.ccf*
tain, was given lip for lo^t, ffrtffhlsrc'-*
mains were allowed to rest i;j their
rock-bound tomb—a pjflce as,.well cal-,
culated for fhe la:;t resting place of the
dead as the catacombs of Home or
Paris. Time rolled on, and about
twenty years ago, when the engineers
were laying out the track of the Pacific
Railroad, which passed by the cave,
they had the curiosity to enter and ex-'
plore its secrets.
They there found the bones of a bear
and the skeleton of a human being ly
ing close together. Not only .^his,’
but they also found an old’ muslcet-
barrcl, half eaten by the rust, ftnil r’
small quantity of old FrerHv ftial Span
ish coin. All these circumstances
pointed to the old hunter Labadic, as
the person whose skeleton was thus re
vealed to the gaze ot the explorers,
and whose tragic history was preserved
by tradition. The trees were also ex
amined, and the old scars caused by
the hatchet of young Labadic were
distinctly traced. . • •
The H011. Flavius J. North, a men/
her of the Legislature, who went to
Franklin county in 1818, heard nf
that early day a vague tradition of tlie
disappearance of Labadie, aud he srtV>
and handled the coin'which was sub-'
s-quently found, Restated, *ra the&ive.'
The relics and bones were drftributed'
among various persons. JudgePrimm,.
whose familarity with the histpry of!
Alissouri is perhaps not exceeded by
any other person, recollects hearing
the story of Labadic and the bear over
fifty years ago. The impression on his.
mind was that the hunter entered..the
cave during the hybernatiug season of
the bear, and that, having firwi- firs
musket, the infuriated beast rushed to-'
ward the passage of the cavern where
Air, Labadie was standing, closed hi’
with him and killed him. “Lalwlie
