I arrived there at night, and early next morning I walked over to Goat Island, andflooking down the American Rapids, what should I see but a man climb- ing to an old oak trunk that had lodged atrn soe time in the current between the small Islands off Goat Island and this American PALE MCCAW/ AND WIIM— looking front his hours cif suapense.

At first he gained visibly against tha current, aud the thought that he would surely save himself found utterance in another joyful shout from the spectators. 13ut when he was elmost within reach of the shore his strength begau to Tho space between Min and the 'eland grecluelly wideti- ed, Then every one knew that all h me was gone.

At the same time, like g every other right, it has its limits, but • these limits ought to be very thoroughly de - ,t fined and understood before it is interfered t' with. It is not at all sufficient to say that • if each or such a meeting is held the public m peace may be broken, for this would Put g every public Assembly at the mercy of a few roughs or a little knot of opponents. These ,/ would simply have to resolve to break the g peace or to threaten to do so to have the whole thing suppreesed. The one question is—Is this a lawful assembly called together for a lawful purpose to discuss matters of general or local witerest ? And if this is settled in the affirmative then the author- ities are bound to see to it with all the force they MU command that the meeting be held and that those who call it shall be protected in the enjoyment of their just rights from all violence or riot. Expressions of dissent or approval are, of course, to be expected, a for why should the public be appealed to if its opinion, -whether against as well as in favor, is not to be received or tolerated? ff the friends of a certain cause are only invited then one may grant that protection either from interruption or dissent may be justly claimed, but the meeting there ceases to be a public one and its decision has to be judged e of accordingly. It will come then to be a question. What was the condition of things in London which led to the suppression of the public meetings in Trafalgar Square? And was that condition such as to justify that suppression? Evidently the conduct of the crowds on. previous occasions had not been decent. Especially has this to be said of what was done in Atestminster Abbey. Then, of course, the risk is great in such a city from the gathering in huge masses and under false pretences of the worst elements of the population. In these times, also, and with the warning of Chicago experi- • ences before them, those who were respon- sible tor the peace of the city might be e justified in taking very firm measures. The g right of public meeting is all very well, but it is possible sometimes to hide under that specious guise very dangerous projects. In the mum referred to, however, there was apearently no object avowed but that of vindicating the right to meet, and Govern- ments cannot be too chary bout even seem- ing to infringe upon popular rights except for reasons which will commend themselves to every man of sense and right feeling. At this distance, however, it is difficult to judge, and Sir Charles Warren's antecedents have not been such as to make him be sus- pected of having any sympathy with despot- ism, or any wish to circumscribe the true becoming liberty of popular free speech and of public popular discussion. shore. Before I could give the alarm th man had been discovered by others and, THE NEWS SPREAD DAPIDLY. Who the man was or how he oazne to b in his perilous situation no ono ever knew, but it was supposed that he had been rowing across the river somewhere above, the night before, and, losing control of his boat, had been swept down into the rapids and the boat striking the tree trunk, he ad by some miracle gained a foothold upon As soon as possible after the discovery of the man was made word was telegraphed to Buffalo, aud a party of life savers came on a special train to the Falls to try an rescue hitn. Before 10 o'clock thousands o persons were gathered at every &vanish' spot where a sight of the unfortunate ma could be obtained. The railroads ran sped al trains, and people came in conveyances of all kinds frona the surrounding country No one seemed at first to know how to go to work to be of aid to the man, but he clung to the tree, watching every move that was made --how anxiously he watched may be imagined. It was of courseimpossible to make hit» hear anything that might be shouted to hirn, and there was no way to give him any directions. Finally a. lifeboat was attached to a cable and let down the rapids from the bridge towards him. Guide ropes were tied toit, by which it was direct- ed toward the log by men on the shore ot the island. The plan was well calculated, and the boat made directly for the spot where the man was hanging between life and death. The assembled multitude began to feel that in a few minutes the poor man would be safely drawn ashore. Suddenly the oat was caught by a swirl of the rapids. The cable parted like a weak kite string. The boat rushed past the man like a flash nd was carried over the Falls. "This sad ending to that effort to rescue he man showed the life savers that there was no hope for the man in that plan. Several others were suggested, and finally one was adopted which it took until late in the afternoon to get in readiness. • In all those long hours of suspense I don't believe one of the spectators moved from his tracks. Everything else about Niagara Falls was forgotten except the terrible scene Of a fel- else would like me better. Perhaps this is a piece of vanity, but I should try to make her, you know, and I won't fall into absurd superstitions that a woman must hate her mother-in-law.

" This is as it should be," said he, Fanny, I shall kiss mother first, this time." And he put his arms around us both, but Fanny gave a little scream. " Oh 1 Gregory, what are you about? This is Mrs. Switzer, who is making my dress. At least, I have thought so all day." For you see I had burst out laughing, and had kissed Gregory back, and then kissed her.

He was a discharged soldier, hav- ing left the British army a short time be- fore, on amount of the loss of an eye, through an Decedent He was a, very fine looking man, athletic and well proportioned and standing over six feet in heient. His 'wife, Mary, whom Crawford had married six months before, was the widow of a deceased moldier-, and her two children; a girl and a boy, four and six years of age respeotively, were by the first husband. She Was A tidy, clever, hearty young 13ritishwo- man of five and twenty. Crawford, who was about ten years her senior, was a Scotolunan, He was much given to hunting and fishing, spent a good deal of his time in the woods and was a most successful sportsman. Although he was privileged t take up 400 acres of laad, and might hay done so almost anywhere, in the front alon the lake shore at the time, he was careles about selecting his location. In campan with a friendly young Indian, of the Mill sissagua tribe, for whom he had done som friendly office, and who was very much et twilled to him, Crawford Spent days an Weeks camping in the woods, and trappin fur bearing animals, whioh were then s numerous in the unbroken forest. Ls one of these excursions the soldier wa taken to a "beaver meadow," on the bor ders of a little stream flowing into Lak Slam° (supposed to be somewhere near th site of the present village of Beaverton where the game was very abundant. Thee were many delightful spots on the lake looking out over the tranquil waters, an to one of these Crawford was specially at tracted, and had determined upon making it his home. He managed to build a hut, and made a little clearing, and to this spot with the help of the friendly Indian, the wife an children were moved early in the spring The wife was charmed with the beauty o the place and its surroundings, and if th hub was small, it was well provided. Ven ison was plentiful, and could be had almos any where in the woods with little trouble and the most delicious fish might be taken at pleasure from the stream and lake. Wild strawberries also grew in great abundance about the place. The wife was soon able to manage a ea73,08 and paddled over the waters of the lake with the delighted chil- dren. Summer and fall passed over joyously for the cantented little family in the woods. Therewas an early snow fall, and with this intimation of the corning winter, the wife wished to be nearer the settlement at York. She had an addirional reason for this, being near her confinement The Indians, how- evenwere very friendly,and the Indian trail from their village (now Orillia) to lake On- tario, lcd by the hut. Thoir deparbure was delayed, the wife was suddenly overtaken in her confinement. Her illness brought her to death's door, and her life would be en danuered by any attempt of removed. Winter, with all its severity, came on apace, and this year, much earlier than usual. The husband exhausted all his in- genuity and resources in providing for the wants of his family. Indeed, from the ample means at command, he had no diffi- culty in laying in stores of food and procur- ing firewood. Bread, and flour to make it with, was the only great deficiency, and the little stock on hand was supplemented by large gatherings of nuts. The mother :and infant grew stronger. But by this time the snow was so deep that a journey through the: frost for a woman and young children was out of the question. That winter was one of unusual severity. Towards its close, the howling of the starv- ing wolves was incessant throughout the night, and filled the poor woman and child- ren with terror. Crawford had his gun but only a scant simply of ammunition. He was in the habit of making short excursions, in order to get supplies of fresh venison, -which he was always able to fetch to the hut before night to the expectant family. From one of these—the last of this tragic story—he did not return as usual. Night came on, and the uneasiness of the wife grew to deem at her husband's absence. She tooted the horn again and again, but there was no answering response. Solitary wolves were seen prowling about the hut when the affrighted woman looked out the door and tooted in the blinding snowstorm which had come on. This became unsafe for her to do any longer, so the door of the hut was kept shut and barred. l'ar into the night, the howling of the aok, at first distant, came nearer and near- er to the hut The watching woman heard a rush past, and believing that her husband was pursued, in her fond eagerness to give him succor, opened the door. Fatal step The ferocious brutes rushed in, tumbling over each other in their bloody eagerness', The women, with her infant in her arms, was knocked down, and the sav- age animals fought and tore each other in glutting on their defenceless prey. A child's crib, clumsily rnade of heavy timber, was overturned in the dreadful onslaught, and covered up in it was the little gid, the oldest of the children. She was completely hidden by the overturned crib, and render- ed unconscious by fright, lever moved. Daylight broke in upon this horrible softie in the woods, when Crawford arrived, to see the wolves, some of them with bloody jaws, slinking away from hie wretched cabin. Ile had followed too far after elm* which he had wounded, and on his return home night had fallen, the anew storm had come on, and pursued by n hungry pack which had got on the trail of the wounded deer, he had taken refuge in a tree. This Wag scarcely a, mile distant from his home. While in this place of safety, the wolves, which were howling and jempizeg at the foot of the tree, suddenly followed the pursuit of the buck, evhich nulucltily had taken a course that led towards the hut. Crawford could tell from the savage howling which arose above the storm, that something ter- rible was going on in that directiou.
