= ——: OVER NIAGARA FALLS.

A Noted River Pirate Takes the Fearful Ride—Terrible Scene from the Shore —Fearjul Struggles of the Doomed Man for Life —Torn to pieces on the Rocks.—An habitual Row taken once too often.

A terrible tragedy was enacted at Niagara Falls last week, inthe preseuce of abont five hundred people, when “Pi” Walker, a neted Smuggler and river pirate, went over the falls before their horrified gaze. The Erie Rail. road had gotten up a special Sunday excursion from Buffalo, which was patronized by a large number of people and Goat Island, Prospeet Park and the sbore near the Cataract Ilouse was covered with sightseers. Suddenly some one on the shore opposite the upper end ef Goat Island, raised the awful cry of warning, “ A man in the rapids!” and as the people flocked to the edge of the water they saw asmall boxt, with single occapant,, slowly being sucked into the white water.

FUTILE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

The man was rowing for all he was worth, but seemed to be dazed cither with fear or intoxication and he was unable to muke headway. Suddenly the oarsman ‘caught a crab,” his oar flew out of the rowlocks, his head went down and ho Jay at length in the bot- tom of the boat. The boat then turned her prow down stream and began to descend the rapids of the American falls, its pace growing more and more swift until finally it struck a rock about two inches from the surface, and stopped, and began to twist and turn in the eddying current.

A TEMPORARY SUSPENSE.

The crowd screamed to the man to jump out and cling to the rock, and the wildest excitement was manifested on the shore. Bat he still lay in the bot- tom of the boat and made no attempt todo so. “A dozen schemes of rescue rushed through the mind of the spec- tators, and two old guides had already started on a run up the stream to pro- cure rope and another boat, when the boat swung round and once more felt the foree of the current, and now be- gan its mad plunge to destruction.

ON TO DESTRUCTION.

The surging water caught the light skiff in the clutches as though it was a feather and bore it downward like a salmon, bow forward on a mad dizzy pace. But only fora few rods; then a second rock obscured the way, and parted in twain, the port side going all to pieces, while the starboard was not badly damaged. The body of the man was flung headlong into the eddying maelstorm, sucked under for a moment, and then tossed to the surface just above the bridge which leads to Goat Island. He threw his arms wildly into the air, and those who were on the bridge saw for an instant a white and haggard face setin the agony of despair; then he was again drawn below the surface never to reappear on this side of eternity. Those who saw this sicken- ing spectacle will never forget his ese pecially horrible feature.

GROUND £0 PIECES.

There was something «absolutely sublime in the relentless grasp of the hurrying waters. They fairly seemed {to rend the man limb from limb, and old guides who witnessed the catas- trophe saw that the body never will be found in a whole condition, that it was literally ground to pieces against the jagged edges of bolders against which it was tossed.

Assoon as the tragedy was completed and bent-up feelings of spectators had found relief into exclamation, the question arose ‘ Who was the victim ?”

All doubt on this score was removed soon afterward, when a man came rushin down from the village of Port Day al asked after the drowned man, saying that he had left there shortly, before in his skiff in quite an intoxicated condition, and he had been seen going so close to the rapids that it was feared he had gone over the rapids.

‘‘ Pi’ has been on bad spree to-day,” aiid the man. ‘‘He went over to one of the small islands near Port Day with a friend und a keg of beer between them, which, I guess, is not very full now; then he eame back to Port Day and then started down the river, itis thought, to row to Goat Island. Hewas very drunk when he left, and could hardly manage the boat.”

AROMATIC MONTSERRAT QUININE CORDIAL

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOKOL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at once a palatable and innucuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfuily accomplished; for although the 7'onic qualities of (uinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- quent upon the Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency.

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineglassful. and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics. :

CATARRE. Gonstitutional Catarrh Remedy

CURES CATARKE.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T J. B. Harvie, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Str—It is now two years since your ‘“Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “too goud to true,”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bel. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, fecling quite cured of

of late I have taken some for « cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Alan, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CApsicuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have uséd them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually te effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan-

es in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures edfeeted by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTERs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases ao have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want aeertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and oue plaster will sell hundreds to your friends,

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIx’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
