" Thet fellow knows this shote as well
as I do," I added, as Tom headed the
Belle towards the -chase. "Ile has
chosen the best place to land. on this
side of the lake,"
It was the spot where the steeliest
had landed a portion ofher posse. There
was a kind of gully in the precipice,
through which the water from the hills
made its way into the lake. Li fact it
was the outlet of a brook, which was
dry, however, except in the wet mama
A boat of the size of Belle or the Raven
ould run into the inlet about her length,
so that a person could step over her
side upon the shelf of rock and earth
beneath the precipice.
It was possible that he had diseoyea-
d this available land -place from his
iostion in the boat, and that he was
riot aware of the existence of the zigzag
path. He ran the Raven into the out-
ater. The rascal leaped lightly on
here, with a travelling -bag in his hand,
which I had no doubt contained the
lender from the bank. He paused on

"But I didn't know what he was go-

promptly- adopted.. I walked over to
the cliff by the lake, and, following tho
shore, I soon reached a high point of
land, -which commanded a view for a
considerable distance. I halted to take
a caroful survey of the region, hophig I
might discover the fugitive; but 1. could

the top of the hill, which I climbed in
order to obtain a still better,. view. I
eould see Tom and the sheriff, but no

ber understood the situation better than
we supposed, and had. adopted some
plan which. had not been anticipated by
any of us. So far, I surveyed only the
region which the fugitive was- expeeted
to traverse. Before d.escencling the
tree, I turned my gaze in the direction
we lied just come.
I caw the robber, and called with all
my might to Tom and the sheriff.

His object in landing must have been
simply to got. rid of his pursuers on the

A GAR -LOAD OF CATTLE cARMED overt GEN-
ESEE rur.ns,—vrvE OF TREAT ESCAPE ALIVE.
From the Boohostor Union. March 2.
One of the strangest of accidents oc-
curred yesterday afteraoon on the rail-
road bridge near the ba,ua of the falls.
About half past 1 o'clock a heavy freight
train, laden with cattle for Eastern
markets, passed through the depot.
One car, situated about the middle of
the train, was seen to bound about in it
most remarkable manner, and on ob-
serving it more closely it was latticed
that a flange of a wheel was broken.
Iinmedia,tely on reaching the bridge it
left the ire& and bounded along till
about midway of the stream, when it
smashed the railing and plunged into
the river, turning upon its side as it fell.

car sufficiently to allow tho animals ta
escape. The current of this bridge is

at the bridge apparently too reach
frightened to move. Consulbation arose
amongst the officials as to what should
be done with them, and Dep.ot-Master
Knapp,: knowing that the. aompany
would. have to make the owni3rs good,
determined to sell them for what they
wouldlbring. Two hundred and fiftyidol-
lars was the amount ob haivad,tfor thetlot.
Tho next question was how to gee pos.
sceision of the ,cattle, and it was finally
determined. to drag thorn to tie east

strongest, Iola let them. go over the
falls, where the curnont -would carry
their bodies to the shore, Several
ropes were -obtained for this purpose,
and one 'as attached to each cot, and
they were led to tho east side, where
the eurnont soon Swept them off their
feet and carried them over. Out of the
whole seventeen thus swept over but
five were rescued alive, tho rest being
killed by the fall. Beveled butchers
were assembled along the shore below
the falls, and, as 80011 as the Cf1V1LSS

Alive were greeted with loud cheers
from the inimence crowds that had
assombled by this time. Old men and
young men, ladies and children, all
gathered to see the great sight. Over
12,000 poople were collected at the
varions points before the last animal
had gone over: the fall. There were
some curious incidents connected with
event which deserve mention, Foremost
among thesela the nal= of one noble
animal which came out alive. Ho strug-
gled very hard to broast the current,
but slipped and was on the very edge
of the precipice when he regained his
footing. He turned, and to the eur-
prise of all, forced his way up against
the stream. Wlion turning around at
the brink, his hind leg was seon to fall
over, but tho groat strong follow inade

cheered him lustily. Where he had
gone upward about fifteen foot he again
slipped and. was carried back to tho edge.
He stood there in bold relief for some
