A VISIT TO NIAGARA 1rALLs IN THE
WINTER.
•
It is many years since the winter
scenery. at Niagara Falls has been so
atttactive and picturesque as it ia.this
month. The fantastic frost formation
on the trees and evergreen bushes is of
extraordinary richness and beauty, the
ice bridge that spans the usually seeth-
ing river is uncommonly thick and
firm, and the huge mounds of ice which
rise in front of the falls on the Am.eri,
cam side seems to be higher and mote
imposing than ever before. The rush
of visitors to the Falls since the holi-
days has been unprecedented for a.
winter season. Special trains have
been.
RUN FREQUENTLY '
frons near -by points, and .special cars
have carried tourists from far -away
cities to this scene of Jack Frost's most
impressivelandlmost dainty handiwork.
There was a snap and a tingle in the
atmosphere last Sunday morning when
three special Wagner cars rolled into
the New York Central station 'at Nia-
gara Falls with a party of gentlemen
and their wives.
Two sleighs, abundantly provided
with buffalo robes were in waiting at
the station, and, as the guests of Chas.
'W. Miller, the merry party started for
the usual sightseeing drive about the
falls. Though the air was nipping cold
it was dry and invigorating. The sun
shone brightly on the crisp snow, giv-
ing to the landscape the appearance of
glistening pearl. Crossing the bridge
to Goat island, the excusionists were
unable to see the huge cakes of ice
tumbling over one another, but borne
steadily along by the fierce current, to-
ward the brink of the falls. The fam-
ous ice bridge—or, to speak more ac-
curately, ice jam—below the falls is
caused by these cakes of ice becoming
wedged in the narrow gorge and freez-
ing into a compact mass. On' Goat
Island the party were whisked through
the white forest at a speed that warmed
their blood and kept their ears and
noses from freezing. Near the brink
of the American falls were beautiful
grottoes of frost stalactities formed by
the bending branches of the snow -
weighted trees. Here the snap camera
, fiend is regularly stationed. One of the
"-. eculiarities ofsightseeing at Niagara
the winter is the necessity of con-
tent motion. The keen atmosphere
requires that. But a few minutes,
therefore, was spent on Goat island.
A rapid drive across the lower suspen-
sion bridge took a tourists into Canada,
and they enjoyed a most agreeable ride
to the vicinity of Table Rock, where
they were enabled to
, OBTAIN A FAIR VIEW
of portions of the great cataract. In
very cold weather the spray is so thick
that it is difficult to get an unobstruct-
ed view of the falls from the river banks.
Returning from the Canadian side, the
sleighs made the rounds of Prospect
Park,4where the frost formations are
particularly extensive, varied and en-
chanting. It was observable that the
number of visitors in Prospect Park
was very large. There were hundreds
of sightseers on foot, David Isaacs,
proprietor of the Prospect house, which
P is the only hotel open at the falls in
Of the winter, directed the sightseeing
tour of the New York party in a very
agreeablemanner, and subsequently en -
t ertained them at dinner. He remark-
ed: "It would be a good thing all around
if the people would not come here in
such large numbers on Sunday. We
cannot take care of them all as well as
we would desire. It would be well if
they would distribute themselves
through the week." After dinner half
a dozen venturesome ones started
out to cross the ice bridge. They
failed to equip themselves with wate-
proofs, and consequently were drenched
by the frost into human icicles. But
they stuck to their self-imposed task,
crossed and recrossed the river, stopp-
ing at one or two of the elixir -of -life
huts in midstream. They climbed the
highest icemound, and some of them
narrowly escaped sliding off on the
falls' sides. Then they returned to
their luxurious cars and boasted of
what they had done while they thawed
out. -
Ayer'sFs
Are better known and more gener-
ally used than any other cathartic.
Sugar-coated, purely vegetable,
and free from mercury or any other
injurious drug, this is the ideal
family medicine. Though prompt
and energetic in their action, the
use of the pills is attended with l
only the best results. Their effect
is to strengthen and regulate the
organic functions, being especially
beneficial in the various derange-
ments of the stomach, liver, and
bowels.
Ayer's Pills
are recommended by all the leading
physicians, and druggists, as the
most prompt and effective remedy
for biliousness, nausea, costive-
ness, indigestion, sluggishness of
the liver, jaundice, drowsiness,
pain in the sitie, and sick headache;
also, to relieve colds, fevers, neu-
ralgia, and rheumatism. They
are taken with great benefit in
chills and the diseases peculiar to
the South. For travelers, whether
by land or sea,
Dyer's Pills
are the best, and should never be
omitted in the outfit. To preserve
their, medicinal integrity in all
climates, they are put up in bottles
as well as boxes.
" I have used Ayer's Pills in my
family for several years, and always
found them to be.a mild and excel-
lent purgative, having a good
effect on the liver. It is the best
pill used."—Frank Spillman, Sul-,
phut.; Ky.

A RICH FIND
A watch -case manufactory, which for
nineteen years had occupied the same
building in New York, moved recently
into newquartere. Knowing how eas-
ily gold wears and rubs, especially as it
is tandled by workmen, the firm used
to save every bit of dust and all the
sweepings of the three floors they occu-
pied and extract the bits of gold lost in
the rubbish. This practice was quite
expensive, but it paid very well. -
When the manufactory was moved
the firm took up all the boards in the
three floors in order to save the gold -
dust that had not been gathered up in
the sweepings. The boards were of or-
dinary pine, and were reduced to ashes
and the gold extracted therefrom by a
chemical prose No less than sixty-
seven thousand (Alava was found. Just
think of it! AlthouE h every possible
precaution had been taken, sixty-seven
thousand dollars worth of fine particles
of gold had been groundlinto the cracks
and grains of the wood. This, was the
largest find of the kind ever known, al-
though the practice resorted to by the
manufacturers is by no means uncom-
mon. An account was given a few
weeks ago of Uncle Sam's treasure
train that brought solmany million dol-
lars of gold from San Francisco to New
York. When the money was counted
it was found to be all right—as far as
number of coins went—but in that
journey the rubbing together of the coin -
caused the loss of two thousand dollars.
It was a total loss, for the particles were
so very fine that they could not be re-
covered.
TRAINMEN EXCITED
Az,nexnAr.F Jan. 30.—There is a good deal
of excitement among the members of the
looal lodge of Railway Trainmen over a pe-
culiar case that happened at Gravenhuret.
It appears that a member of the lodge nam-
ed Samuel Murray was disabled while en-
gaged as a brakesman, and for several years
lay helpless at his home in; Gravenharet.
He had lost all the power of his limbs and
had all the symptoms of kidney complaint
coupled witha complete collapse of his nerv-
oue system. His case was given up by
seven or eight prominent doctors, and the
Grand Trunk Railway paid him his total
disability claim. His total disability claim
was passed by the local lodgehere, and sent
on to the Grand Division. The strange
part of the thing comes now, Murray has
been dompletely restored to health and
states that he does not want the money,
while the lodge members here claim he is
entitled to it and should have it. Murray
was cured by using Dodd's Kidney Pills.

EVERYDAY TRAGEDIES.
"The tragic and the metaphysical
are in reality inseparable. Let us take
a familiar illustration," writes Walter
Blackburn Harte in the New England
Magazine. "The tragedy of the Bala-
clava charge is not in the roar of ar-
tillery, the confused mass of wildly
galloping horses, thundering madly
along, unbridled or riderless, the cries
and clash of arms, the forms upright
or swaying in the saddle, the blare and
din, sooty clouds and the fire and sinell
of gunpowder. All this makes a fine
picture; but the tragedy lies in the
mind of each individual rider, who has
risked his divinity in this hideous in-
sanity of war. Too many writers seem
to think that tragedy consists solely of
murders, accident, suicide, flood, fire,
slaughter, and the rattle of musketry.
These things may be either the accom-
paniments or the cause of tragedy, it
is true; but the tragedy itself is inva-
riably in the mind of the actors or on-
lookers. And there are the tragedies
of quiet, ordinary -life. There is the
tragedy of noble purposes defeated.
Tragedies are taking place every day
between actors who do not move out
of their chairs. Every 'doctor's office,
every lawyer's sanctum, every court
of law—every house in a large city has
been at some time the scene of a tra-
gedy. 'All houses wherein men have
lived and died are haunted houses.'
A man may live a life filled with tra-
gedy and never go to the wars or get
shipwrecked; indeed, he may never
leave his study, his house or his garden.
All this is, of course, obvious; but one
would not imagine it to be so from a
constant reading of the criticisms on
the fiction which goes behind actions
and discovers souls."
WHAT DALTON McCARTHY SAYS
D'Alton McCarthy's declaration that
he can no longer support the trade
policy of his party, and that he goes to
Ottawa to oppose it, has met with the
approbation of his constituents in con-
vention assembled. The stand taken
by Mr McCarthy, and backed in one
shape or another by many other public
men who have hitherto indorsed the
policy of high taxation, affords strong
evidence of the disintegration that has
set in among those who have been a
solid unit against the Liberal policy of
an aggressive movement towards the
emancipation of the people from all
trade restriction. Mr McCarthy con-
fesses that the so-called infant indus-
tries are still fattening at the public
crib, and he thinks they should now be
willing to stand alone. He should
know that the effect of so-called "pro-
tection" in all countries is to weaken
rather than to strengthen the "in-
fants." In Canada the "infant" of 1878
to -day professes to be even more in
need of the bottle than it was thirteen
years ago. The long-suffering people,
however, are aroused, as Mr McCarthy
has found out, and the days of the
combine and the combine Administra-
tion will soon be numbered.
The feeling of Mr McCarthy's con-
stituents may he gauged from the fact
that when Mr Porter, ex -M. P. for
West Huron, tried to propose a resolu-
tion of confidence in the Government,
he could hardly get a hearing, and
when he said McCarthy had been a
traitor to the Old Chieftain, they al-
most ran him out of the hall. And
this in a Conservative convention.

Is it good land?
As good as any in Huron Co. Ex-
cellent for Oats, Peas, Wheat, Clover,
