The weather is more like ‘inclement Fall,” than ‘tgenial spring.” Ice is float- ing around in large masses, impeding navi- gation, and casting a shade of gloom all around.

enterprise which brought such an animal to our Island is worthy of every appreciation. The liorse is certainly a fine-looking animal, well built, with good points, excellent form, and gentle as alamb. Good judges say that he is just the horse the Island wants, and favoralle comments all around are quite in order.

The educational questio.. is having a breeze out this way. Recent letters and comments in the ExaMINER cause much ex- pression of opinion. The weight of opinion is against the spending of so much publie money upon classical education. The cost is altogether ont of proportion, compared with general education, and the benefits de- rived not of general importance. We have met with ‘‘classical” scholars before now, who could hardly tell habeas corpus from & bull frog, and they might bave been useful members of society, had they contented themselves with a good general English education. This Island is essentially an agricultural Province, and the Government would do well in the devoting of public money for the purposes of science and agricultuce, Those who want to become doctors, parsons, and lawyers shuuld pay for their Latin and Greek out of their own pockets. The Government could then spend a few thousand do/lars in a way more needed; results wovld be more satisfactory, and the public interests of onr Province advanced in a direction all important; ratione soli.

On Wednesday evening, the 14th instant, the temperance cimpaign opens here for the summer. Gentlemen from a distance are invited to address the meeting, apd some of them have promised attendance. The meeting will be held in the Agricul- tural Hall, Chapel Street. Our ‘ast meet- ing held on the 12th of March, vas one cf the best temperance meetings ever held in Souris. The audience was of a thoroughly representative chara¢ter, the hall was well filled, and the front seats were occupied by a goodly number of ladies, who are ever welcome as auxiliaries in temperance work, The gener«] public would do well to bear im mind that the meetings of the Temper- apce Alliance here are always public— except when mere matters of business have to be considered;—that our invitation is “Come one, come all;’ and that nothing pleases the Committee of the Alliance bet- ter than seeing the ladies put in an appear- ance in full force. Itis a work intensely blessed by their influence; something in which the heart of a noble woman can engage with all her soul. Woman’s influ ence has been the very life-blood of the temperance cause; and _ with- out her it would have been - dead ana buried Jong ago. The history of the movement proves, beyond contradiction, that wherever woman’s influence has been exercised the most, there the cause has been most triumphant. When E:vernity unrolis the list of times doings, then, and only then, can we fully know woman’s work— the work of our mothers and sisters and friends—-in the redemption of man, and the saving of the drunkard. ‘There is ‘*‘poison in the cup,” and often, very often, the only successful antidote is the influence exercised by some ‘*queen of hearts.”

ago, when I was one of the first people at ithe falls to discover a man clinging to the jlog, came back to me with a vividness that juiade me shudder. No one ever knew how the came there or who he was, but it was isnppesed that he had been rowing across ‘the river somewhere above during the {night before, and losing control of hia boat had been swept down into the rapids, and the boat striking the tree trunk, he had, by some miracle gained a foothold upon it. News never spread so rapidly as that of the discovery of this man in his perilous situation, Word was telegraphed at once to Buffalo, and a party of life- savers catae on a special train to try and rescue the man. Before 10 o'clock thou- sands of people were gathered at every available spot where a sight of the unfortu- nate man and «he elfurts to save him could be obtained.. Ali the railroads ran +pecial trains, and people came in conveyances of ali kinds from the surrouniing coantry. No one seemed to know at first how to go to work, but the man clung to the tree, watching every movement that was made Of course it was impossible to make him hear or give hita any direction. Finaily, a life-boat was attached to a cable and let down from the bridge toward him. It was drawn toward the log by ropes attached to it and handled by men on the island. The boat was making directly for the spot, and hope that the poor man would soon be safe- ly drawn ashore began to be felt by the assembled multitude. Suddenly, however, it was caught in a swirl of the rapids, the cable parted hke a kite string, and the boat shot past the men like a flish within two feet of him, and was carried over the falls.

“‘Aftec this the life-savers were all at sea again. Several plans were suggested and one was adopted, which took until late in the afternoon to get in readiness, In all these long hours of suspense I don’t believe one of the spectators ever moved from his tracks. Everything else about Niagara Falis was forgotten except the terrible scene of a feliow-being hanging on the verge of death and patiently awaiting the success or failure of the efforts that were being made to rescue him.

“The plan adopted was to fasten a strong cable securely to the American shore, attach s staunch raft to it, carry the joose end of the cable over to the island, and le: 11 bell) down with the raft to the tree trunk, By this means it was hoped that the raft could be drawn steadily to the small island be- tween the man and Goat Island, from which no trouble wes anticipated in taking hi. Some fond and a glass of brandy were piaced on the raft, and ropes were fastened to it by which the man was to tie himself fast. The raft moved down and reached the man in safety. As he stepped upon it, lashed him- self fast, and then eagerly seize e reireshments, such a shout as Sal from the theusands of people that had watched the proceedings with beating hearts and bated breath was never heard before. Itcould be heard above Niagara. The raft was moved toward the island. Everything seemed tc be working to e charm. The tension that was put upon the feelings of the spectators was so great that many fainted away. | was a stvong man but I know I wept like a child. Suddenly the raft stopped. The cable, drawn as it was beneath the water, caught on some obstruction, Ali efforts to loosen it were unavailing. One groan of agony arose from the great crowd. Finally the man sprang to his feet, undid the fastenings that held him secure on the raft, and kneeling for a moment as if in prayer, sprang into the raging water and puiled bravely for the island, but a few feet away. At first he gained visibly, and the thonght that he would be saved found utterance in another joyfol shout from the spectators. But when he was almost within reach of the shore his strength began to fail, and steadily the distances between him and the shore increased, Then everyone knew that all hope was gone. He made a few more desperate strokes, but the wild waters seized him, and pitching and tossing and whirling him, hurried him over the great cataract. As he reached the edge of the falls he was thrown upward from the water

New York despatches tell us that Cardi- nal McCloskey is in favor of, and strongly recommends, the congregational singing of hymns. This is a step, and a lofty step, heaven wards—‘‘praise is heavens employ.” There is nothing much grander in public worship than the joining of a whole congre- gation in hymns of praise’ This out-pour- ing of the heart in singing, where the whole heart sings, and the spirit wakes to inspirations of glory, is like the music of angels kissing human lips, causing them to breathe forth the golden tones of Paradise. Let us have more of congregational singing; \’tis then the harps of heaven sound loudest, \and heaven itself draws nearer.

Tragedies of Niagara.

|MEMORIES RECALLED BY THE VEDDEE-PEAE- SON HORROR.

‘To think that I should have left Niaz- ‘ara Falls twenly years ago, after having een a witness of two terrible tragedies of the falls, and then upon my first visit to ‘them in that time, be there in the midst of ‘the excitement -of the Vedder-Pearson horror!” The speaker was an old man who said his name was Andrew Dalrymple of Canden. He was a passenger on an \rie railway tram, returning from a visit to Niavara Falls where be said he was a ‘hackman and gnide for ten years. ‘* I was greatly surprised to see the old tree trunk still! msing im the American rapids, be- tween the small islands off Goat island and the American shore. I gucss no one re- members when that, tree lodged there, but

until his whole length came in view stand- ing upright, and he disappeared as if he had made a voluntary leap over the brink. As he was dashed to and over the falls, not a sound was made by one of the vast crowd, and, terrible as was the scene, notan eye was turned away as he was carried along to his destruction. As he disappeared in the face of the cataract one heart-ronding shriek went np from the crowd, The poor fellow’s body was never found, nor his identity ever established.

“The other agonizing scene that I was doomed to witness, wasthe carrying over the falls of young Charles Addington and little Eva De Forest. That happened five or six years before the incident | have just related. The Addingions and De Forests were prominent families in Buffalo in those days, and young Charles wes engaged to be married to Ada De Forest. Miss De Forest’s mother and her little sister Eva, accompanied by young Addington and her- self, came to the falis one day in the sum- mer to spend the day, While they were on Goat Island, little Eva went away by her- self, and Mrs. De Forest sent the young man after ber. He found her atending near theshore. He thoughtless!y stole up behind her and grasping her under the arms, held her out over the water. She suddenly threw up her hands and slipped through his arms into the water. He in- stantly tprang im after her and reached her beiore the swifter rapids had caught her, He sveceeded in getting ber back near enough to the shore tothrow heron the bank, but she had not strength snflicient to hold on until her mother could grasp her,
