Narrow Escape—The Waterfall a Li:
Preserver;
An incident, which might have been a
fatal accident but for the presence of a chig
non, occurred yesterday morning, the facts
of which are as follows:1 It appears that
the boys in the neighborheod of VC) Fourth
avenue frequently amuse themselves by
shooting pigeons, and while engaged in that
innocent and appropriate pastime yesterday
morning, a ball, tired from the gun they
were using, passed throngh a window of
Mrs. Eriggs' boardinghouse. No. 176 Fourth
avenue, and struck a lady who was seated
in the room. Fortunately, however, the
lady was attired for thetreets and among
many other indiSpensab e articles wore a
chignon of large dimensions, and being .
seated with her back to the window, the
"deadly missle" struck the waterfall, the
size of which prevented,' the penetration of
the 'ball, and consequently protected the
skull. This is not the drat instance wherein
a lady's life has been saved by a waterfall.
Felonious Assault.
Mary Welsh and Mrs. Doran are neigh
bors, residing in South Pittsburgh, but
they don't sewn to get along in a neighbor
ly way.with each other. Mrs. Welsh states
that she had a clothes line stretched in her
yard, upon which she intended to hang her
week's washing. Mrs: Doran, however,
took it into her head to occupy the same
line for a similar purpose, and was about
carrying the idea into effect when she was
interrupted by Mrs. Welsh, who politely,
but mildly informed her that theline was
already engaged. This, according to Mrs.
Welsh's statement, so offended Mrs. Doran
that the lady tore down the line, and when
remonstrated with, picked up an ax, and
threatened to reduce her neighbor to mince
meat a threat whh miht have been car-
ried into execution ic had g not the intended
victim evacuated- the premises with con
siderable trepidation. The sequel to the
affair may be found in two informations
which Mrs. Welsh lodged against Mrs.
Ddran before Alderman I,l!Masters yester
day, one for felonious assault and the other
for malicious mischief, upon both of which
1 warrants were issued.

an individual, and stated that any informa

had not seen or heard of hlm for five days.

The inevitable Result of Enterprise and
Merit.
Business properly conducted, judiciously
advertised and attended In all its details by
persons interested in its success, is sure to
enrich the merchant or dealer. We want
no better evident% of the fact than found
in the Case of our friend Maj. R. H. Long,
the popular agent of the now famous Weed
Sewing Machine. But a few years ago he
took hold of the Weed Machine, which was
then, in these parts at least, obscure and
unknown, and through dint of hard work,
j liberal advertisimtand courteous treatment
1 of the public, he has, made the machine he
1 represents known in all circles and built
l i a vast trade for them absolutely aston
-lit lug. Of course, the "Weed" had merits
1 to rest its foundation for popularity, but
the business zeal and tact of Maj. q.,ong
made the public acquainted with the Ma
chine and drew to him patronage that had
previously. drifted in another direction. If
any of our readers desire to see the mau
-1 ner of conducting business whereby the
Weed has become so extensively k n own ,
they
they should call at the salesrooms. ll2
Grant street, where Maj. Long will always
be present to cordially receive them.
Love's Patent Portable Combination Fence.
We yesterday had the pleasure of exam
ining an invention which is destined ,to
revolutionize fence building in country dis
tricts. The model on exhibition at Hare's
hotel, on Liberty street, foot of Fifth ave
nue, will commend itself to all_ persons,
being simple and yet accomplishing all
that is desired.. It is so simple that every
farmei can readily make his own fence.
It is fifteen to twenty per cent. cheaper than
any other fence known, and is all that
could be wanted In point of convenience
and durability. It can be opened and
closed at each or any panel as easily as a
common gate; will stand on hilly as well as
on level ground, and occupies no more space
than a common post and board fence, and
its advantages and combinations are unlim
ited in making pens, cribs, shades, with
bay rack complete, or stables of any desired
form, roofed and weather-boarded ready for
use. No posts are used, and altogether the
fence is the best ever introduced. Mr.
Obadiah Love, the owner of the patent, has
State, county and township rights for sale,
and as he remains but a few days those de
sirous of seeing the fence or of obtaining
rights for sale, should call at once at Hare's
Hotel,
Intended •Itemoval. ,
Owing to the rapid growth of patronage i
directed towards the old established and '
justly popular wine and liqur house of
Messrs. Schmidt and Friday, thtl firm have
been necessitated to secure enlarged facili
ties for the transaction of their immense
trade, and have secured the commodious`
and first class wareroorns, Nos. 384 and 386
Penn street, corner of Eleventh, late Canal
street. They will take possession of their
new quarters on the Ist of next April. It
is pleasing to' note the pr . osperity of the
young gentlemen composing this firm, as
they are in every way worthy the confi
dence of the community, being fair dealing
honorable and enterprising. Their distil
lery is one of the most extensive in this
section, while we doubt if any other house
west of the mountains imports direct from
Europe such large quantities of the finest
brands of wines and liquors. .They are
.eminently worthy the public confidence
and large share of patronage bestowed upon
them, and we hope they may soon find their
very commodious quarters too small for
the demands of their trade.

The Great River' IL isaster—Order for the -
1
Arrest of the of the America.k
Bond In $5.00 Required.
The particulars f the heart-rending dis
aster, says the Louisville Democrat of Mon
day, growing out of the collision of the
steamers United States and America, are
still fresh in the minds of our readers. It
will be remembered that Napoleon Jenkins
was the pilot bf the America at the time of
the collision. It was understood that an in
vestigation of the cause of the disaster was
in progress at Cincinnati, but it would seem
that the United States authorities have also
decided to look into the matter.
A few days ago, an affidavit was sworn to
before: the United States Commissioner at
Louisville, charging Mr. Jenkins with gross
negiligence and culpability as pilot, at the
time of the disaster. The affidavit was made
under the 12th section of the act of Congress
of July 7, IE6B, which reads as follows :
"That, every captain, engineer, pilot or
other person employed on board of any
steamboat or vessel propelled in whole or in
part by steam, by whose•misconduct, negli
gence or inattention to his or their respect
ive duties the life or lives of any person on
board said vessel may be destroyed, shall be
deemed guilty, of manslaughter, and upon
conviction thereof before any. Circuit Court
in the United States, shall be sentenced to
confinement 'at bard labor for a period of
not more than ten years."
On Saturday Mr. Jenkins appeared before
Judge Ballard, the 'United States Commis
sioner, but the United States not being
ready to proceed with the examination, and
as the Grand Jury will not convene till the
2d of February, the accused gave bond in
the sum of five thousand dollars for his ap
pearance at the next term of the United
States Court, in February, to answer an in
dictment that may be preferred against
him. It is proper to state that the war
rant was not served on Mr. Jenkins by the
United States Marshal, as he appeared vol
untarily before the Commissioner, and man
ifested an entire willingness that the case
should undergo a full investigation.

Grant's Early Campaigns.
A long statement appeared in the New
York Time! of the 19th about the early cam
paigns of General Grant, which are stated
to have given dissatisfaction at headquarters
at Washington. • He was several times
to be suspended, but wa3 not by the occur
rence "of circumstances. When he began
the investment of Vicksburg the movement
was condemned at headquarters, and finally,
after the unsuccessful assault on Vicksburg,
in May, an order was sent to General Banks,
then investing Port Hudson, directing
to go and take command of the army from
General Grant and assume it himself. ,The
order was an imperative one, nevertheless
General Banks did not obey the order. He
replied, expostulating- The considerations.
on which that officer based, his ''ex
postulations will appear when this
remarkable correspondence sees the
light. This much, however, may be
said : He pointed out that for him
to abandon his position at Port Hudson
would be to give-up the key of the Missis
sippi, imperilling, not only the tenure of
New Orlean s,but jeopardizing otir possessihn
of any point of vantage on that vital water
line. To this rejoinder came from Wash ,
ington a second command to supercede Gen.
Grant, and when the impolicy of the step
was again pointed out by Gen. Banks he
was severely cesured for disobedience of
orders. The correspondence between Gen.
Banks and The authorities at Washington
continued until the fall of
ViCksburg, when
every scrap of paper bearing on this subject
was spirited away from the archives in the
departments, while General Banks, putting
the writings safely by, kept his own coun
sel. The secret of this critical passage in
his life was, until a month, unknown to him
it so closely touches, and was never known
to General Grant himself.

THE steamer Columbia, running between
Glasgow and New York, was saved from
destruction on her recent prolonged voyage
by the skill and bravery of. her captain.
The screw propeller, having been disabled
by the swrm, was beating her blades against
the vessel, and threatening to stave in the,
stern ; the only remedy was to seeure the
propeller by passingropes and chains around
it. This had to be done in the swell left by
an Atlantic storm, and in superintending
the process, the captain was suspended from
the stern of the vessel by a rope fastened
round his waist, dipping down into the sea
as the vessel dipped, giying his orders, now
from mid-air, nowfrom the, very surface of
the wave, with the utmost clearness and
precision. At last the screw propeller was
securely fastened to the vessel, and through
three weeks of tedious beating about on a
stormy sea, remained secure, though use
less, and crew and passengers were saved-
The value of these services may be appre
ciated when it is recollected 'pat the steamer
Hibernia was lost through a II similar accident
to the propeller, and that the removal of the
shaft would have allowed the water to enter
the vessel in sufficient quantity to sink her
tit once.
A VERY unusual occurrence took place at
the parish church of Stradbroke, England,
a few Sundays ago. As soon as the offici
ating clergyman began to publish the bans
of marriage for the second time between the
two persons, a man who i sat close to the
reading de3k said, "I forbid them." The
riverned gentleman kept on reading, and
the man replied, "I forbid them!" Still the
reverend gentleman kept on reading to the
end, when the man again said, "I forbid
them!" The objector proved to be the son
of the woman whose bans had been pub
lished. He thought his mother too old to be
married again, but the clergyman .was of a
different opinion.
