On Tuesday of this week the man turned up ”in the editorial rooms of the Elmira Advertiser, stating that he had been pardoned after four years and nine months” imprisonment; at the same time saying he was not guilty. “ But you plead'guilty ? " was the won- dering query. “ Yes, I did," said he sadly and with tears in his eyes. " The District Attorney told me that if I pleaded guilty I would save a trial and great expense and get of! with probably a year or two; but that if I stood a trial it would cost me my farm. and I would undoubtedly in the and get the full sentence of the law. Then I did plead guilty, but instead of one or two years I got ten. I was pardoned out the 11th of last month. and when I got back to my old home my wife declared she would have nothing more to do with me, and said her former confession of unfaithfulnese while I was absent at the war was not so.

D.. of Huddersfield. under the following circum- stances : 0n the 12th November, 1880, Dr. Lowson was called to attend the child of Police Constable Higginbottom, of Bud- dersfield, who was suffering from laryngeal diphtheria. He preformed the operation of tracheotom , but sufiocative attacks supervened, an on visiting the child next morning he found it in alivid state and breathing only with great diflicul . Seeing ‘ that the only chance of saving t e child's life lay in sucking the tube clear, he at‘ once. at imminent risk to himself. applied his lips to the tube and sucked out the ‘accumulated mucus. thereby affording ‘immediate relief to the patient. Throu h- out the day he continued by means 0 a pippette to suck out the mucus from the trachea. Notwithstandin his heroic efforts the child unfortunately ied. on the third day after the operation. Dr. Lowaon's heroism was rewarded by a severe attack of diphtheria. with which he was seized in the course of a few days. Other dangerous illness supervened.compelling him eventu~ ally to abandon his profession and retire from a lucrative partnership.

Y.,which was seento-day floating in the river in front of the American Falls. and secured by Guide Conroy and Ferryman McClay. who anchored it in the same spot where Mrs. Sadie Stewart was found yes- terday. The doctor‘s body was very much disfigured. and was perfectly destitute of clothing except a black sill: necktie. Dr. Campbell examined it. and his opinion is the same as that expressed in reference to Mrs. Stewart. that the body had been in the water four or five days. It had its legs and arms broken. and the head. hip and sides badly cut. all the wounds being received after death. The body was readily identified by A. Mar Amberg. of Niagara Falls, he and the doctor having been friends and brother Masons. belong- in to the same lodge. The most remark- ab 0 part of the edy, from information gained, is that Dr. cwie and Mrs. Sadie Stewart were seen at Niagara Falls together on July 7th. the last time they were seen alive. Undoubtedly they both met their fate in the rapids from the same spot on the Rapids road. and were carried over the ;American Falls. Mrs. Stewart’s body. of which an account has been given. being recovered yesterday. and Dr. Howie's to.da . in the same prmrvation and in e same place. closely connects these facts. Chief of Police Doyle tele- gra bed to the doctor's wife. and she. wi friends, arrived this evening. The remains are carefully preserved. and in charge of undertaker Clark. Mrs. Howie will view them in the morning. She told Chief Doyle that just before her husband left home he said he was to take a step that would never be recalled, and if his body was found he wished it to be buried in the States. The following day he was missing. It is strange to say that the two bodies are the first known to be found that have ever come over the American Falls. Those that have come over the Horseshoe Falls have with very few exceptions been recovered. Coroner Cornell and jury will hold an inquest next Wednesday. when no doubt further interesting developments of the casewill come to light. The friends of the deceased have been interviewed, but they decline to give any previous informa. tion in reference to the deceased parties. The Queen's second ball, says London Truth, was a much brisker affair than the first. The Prince of Wales, who was attired in an uncomfortable looking hussar uni. form. danced throughout the evening. and the Princess several timesâ€"once with Lord Northbrook. Lady Lonsdale and Lady Walter Campbell were decidedly the beauties of the evening, and Lady Hilda Higgins looked remarkably wall. The: finest jewels were those of the Duchess of Manchester, who literally blazed with dia- monds. The supper is always most admir- able at the palace, and the wines unexcep- tionable, notably the dry champagne. In this respect the Queen sets an example which very well might be followed at other fashionable entertainments, at most of which the guests are ruthlessly oiscned with the cheapest abominations at can ‘be bought. Among the loveliest of the {dresses worn at the State ball was a gold brocade with stomachs: of yellow ‘ltopaz, the upper part of‘ the bodice being also thiokfy 7 encrusted with similai: gems. The _whole of flip front of the skirt A‘,___ 2A-- Was covered with yellow margueritee, a wreath of the same being worn in the hair. A green velvet bodice was embroidered in emeralds, in the form of ehamrocke. Large white and yellow water lilies formed the trimming of the skirt, which was of pale green tulle, contrasting with the dark myrtle green of the bodice. A water lily bud, with a few leaves. nestled in the hair. A brown tulle dress was caught back with sunflowers. Another brown tulle, of a dark shade, had the front breadth almoet covered with iorgetâ€"me~note. a long trail of which crossed the bodice diagonally. Flower tabliere were seen in many instances, but they readily crush and are effective only in the beginning of the evening. Some scientific railroad man gives factsl to demonstrate that railroads are rain producers, and that rains follow the iron tracks in belts on each side of them as they are laid on the arid plains of the west. The theory is an exceedingly pleasant one. It makes Jay Gould a regular Jupiter Pluvius. It suggests the vision of the Great American Desert converted into a cabbage patch. and surpasses the most extravagant dreams of the late Commissioner of Agriculture, Le Duo. The scientific gentleman who announces this discovery assigns as the main cause for the meteorological changes the electro- magnetism developed in the rails in their continuous line, and the concussion oi the atmosphere by the jar of the train in its thunderous motion and l' htning speed. The magnetic condition 0 the telegraph ‘wires has also to be considered.

An insignifioant‘ minority were attempting by mere persist- ence of words. without thought. to prevent the deliberate convictions of the House. and to take the legislative functions out of the hands of the majority to replace them in power. The majority in the House must ‘ now choose between succumbing to attacks ‘ made with such unblushing openness and ‘ carrying the clause to a definite conclusion at this sitting. (Tremendous cheers.

The death of five persons by diphtheria in a family oisix at Montclair, N. J ., has been traced to the exhalations from the contents of a cespool spread upon a lawn for fertilizing. While this instance afl'ords no ground for alarm in the use of ordinary manure upon fields. says the Boston Journal of Chemistry, it is exceedingly important and instructive in some of its bearings upon health. The mutants of a house cesspool differ in their nature most essentially from barnyard manure, or any of the usual forms of fertilizers. Into this receptacle pass the most dangerous waste products of a family. and these are by no means what come from water-closets. From the kitchen flow the dangerous nitro- genous agents which, under the influence of putrefactive change. give rise to the fatal germs of disease. The fatty matters and nitrogenous products which passdown the sink-hole in every dwelling are by chemical decomposition converted into bodies which are perilous in the highest degree if exposed so that they be inhaled. The contents of cesspools should never be used upon land until after the last state of decay is reached by combining the contents with much soil. and allowing it to be com- posted for at least one year. Under no circumstances should it be used on lawns, or on fields very near habitations. Sewage gasses in cities originate nine-tenths of the virulent symotic diseases so fatal in their influence; and in towns. villages, and even in the dwellings of farmers. the same septic agencies are at work destroying the lives of thousands. The Princess Louise and Cumin. At the luncheon given by the Mayor of St. John, N.B.. to Sir Hector Langevin, last week, Senator Boyd. in acknowledging the toast of the Governor-General, thus referred to the Princess: “Her Royal Highness Princess Louise is not less anxious than the Governor-General for the welfare of Canada. She had set her‘ heart on oing with him to our Northwest, but her p ysicians forbade it. Ever since that time she has begged to be permitted togo to San Francisco to join the arty there; but her physicians, in her de ‘cate state of healthI will not permit her to go. Think of it, gentlemenâ€"staying at home :with her shattered constitution, this loyal, loving wife of the Governor-Genera“ But. next summer, I trust we shall see her back. She has promised to come back to see us next year, and I am sure she will not be more pleased to come than the loyal inhabitants of Canada to greet her." It is fair to assume that the worthy Senator had the highest authority for these stats- ‘ meuts. which may therefore be assumed to be quite accurate. Loxnox.

In an extended account of the con- struction and working of the Simens electric railway at Berlin the London Times mentions as first among the advan- tages which the electric motor has over steam or compressed air for passenger transport. the circumstance that no heavy machinery has to be carried about to set the train in motion. The carriages can, therefore, be built in a lighter manner. thus reducing the power nwessary to move them. and permittin all bridges and other an r- structures to built more cheaply t an usual. Several carriages. each with a dynamo machine, can be joined to one train, and by this distribution of motive power much steeper inclines can be over- come than when the same train is drawn by a single locomotive. In addition to ‘the ordinary brakes, means can be pro. vided to short-circuit the machines on the carriages, and to cause them to act as very powe ul brakes. The use of large station- ary engines reduces the amount of fuel necessary to develop a certain power on the trave ' carriage. and i! waterfalls can be u ‘ the cost of working these railwayscanbefurtherdiminished. Itseems probable that such railways can be usefully and economically constructed to facilitate the traffic in crowded streets. or in situa- tions where local circumstances favor their application. From all that has been done during the last few years it is evident that the art of transmitting power by electricity has advanced rapidly,and that its practical application is continually gaining ground. â€"Never laugh at a countryman when you see him making blunders as he comes into the city.

Atelegram from the Russian frontier states that a corpse was recently found in the river near Thoernischefi with a label upon it, on which was written the word “ Traitor."
