THI CATASTROPHE AT THE FALL.
The Buffalo Adferliser has ery thrilling
Aoponnt of the recent accident At Niagara
Falls, bv which three persons were awept
orer and drowned. The aroident occurred
in the eteninp. Two men went oer .n.tanr
Ir, but Arery, the third perlon, hung on lo a
rock till the next ereuimr, a crow d of spee- ,
talon witnessing his effort In escape hit
doom, nd doing .11 that could be de fised to
rare hhn .
Our informant lells us that lire man wa
in a part of the rapid where the rocka rise
nearly lo the surface of Ilia water. A log of
wood, apparently wedged tightly between
the rock, and crowed by another, Hill high
er out of the water was hia testing-place.--Here
he remained, half clinging to, and half
perching upon the log, from which he would
occasionally flip down and walk a little on
fhe rocka which were only a short disianee
eiuler the water. A few feel in ndTanoe
was a ainall fall of about four or five feet,
and here and on each side of him, the wa
ter rushed wildly on at a speed of about forty
tnilea au hour. Since our report yusterday
wai made up, about 2J o'clock in the after
noon, a raft was oonstructed, formed of
crossed timber, airongly fustenod, in a
square form, a hogshead being placed in the j
centra. The raft waa airongly secured with
ropes on each aidp, and waa floated down to
the rocka upon which Avery waa stationed
As it approached the spot where he stood,
the rope got fust in the rook?, and the raft
became immovable. Avery then appeared
to muster strength and courage, and descend
ing from the log, walked over the rocka to
the place where the rope had caught and
labored lung and hard to digungage it from
the rocks. After some time he succeeded,
and then with renewed energy, inspired by
the hope of rescue, he pulled manfully at the
rope until he succeeded in bringing the rait
from the current towards his fearful resting
place. '
Avery now got on to the raft, making him
elf fast thereto by means of ropes w hich
bad been placed there for that purpose, and
those on the land commenced drawing it to.
wards the shore. It had approached within
thirty feet of one of the small islands towards
which its course was directed, when sudden,
ly it became stationary in the midst of the
rapids, the ropes having again caught in the
rocks. All endeavors to move it were found
to be in vain, and much fear was enter'ained
that the strain upon the ropes might bieak
them and occasion the poor fellow's loss.
Various, suggestions were now volunteered,
and several altempts were made lo reach
him. Olio man went out in a boat as far as
he dared to venture, and asked him if he
would fasten a rope round his body and trust
to being drawn in by that. The poor fel
low, however, shook his head despondingly,
as though he felt that he had not strength
enough remaining to make himself secure
to the rope. At length a boat was got ready
a life boat, which had arrived from Buffa
lo and was launched. Seeing the prepara
tions, Avery unloosed his fastenings, with
the intention of being ready to spring into
the boat.
Borne on by the rushing waters, and amid
the breathless suspense of the spectators, the
boat approached the raft. A thrill went
through the crowd the boat lived in the
angry waves it struck the raft a shout of
joy rang forth from the shores, fur it was be
lieved that he was saved when suddenly
the hope that had been raised was again de
stroyed, a moment's confusion followed the
collision, and in the next the victim was
seen in the midst of the waters, seperated
from his frail support and struggling for life.
For a minute or two the poor fellow, striking
out boldly, swam strongly toward the island,
and the cry echoed from shore to shore that
he would yet be saved Out soon tho fact
became certain that he receded from the
shore his strength was evidently failing.
Gradually he was borne back into tho fiercest
part of the current slowly at first, then
more rapidly. Swiftly and more swiftly he
appioachcd the brink of the fatal precipice
the waters had him at lust, their undispu
ted vietim, and madly they whirled him on
to death, as though enraged at his perseve
ring efforts to escape their fury. A sicken
ing feeling came over the spectators, when
just on the brink of the precipice, the doom
ed inau sprung up from the waters clear
from theii surface raising himself upright
as a statue, with his arms flung wildly aloft,
aad with a piercing shriek that rang loudly
above the mocking roar or the cataract, fell
back again into the foaming waves, and was
hurled over the brow of the fatal precipice.

UNBL'RY AttD EltlK RAILROAD. 1
The. work on this road between this
place and Williamsport, is steadily progres
sing. The grading between Milton and
Black Hole, about 16 miles, is half done,
some four or five sections above Warrior
Run, culverts and all,' being entirely com
pleted. The bridge over the Susquehanna,
about two milei below the Muncy dam, is
also progressing. More than one third of
the stone, covering geveral acres, are al
ready on the ground and dressed, and the
masonry of the piers going up. The sec
tion through Milton is graded, and the one
below, running through the (arm of Jampg
Cameron, Esq., about hall done. The 1st
section above Cliilisqtiaqiie Creek, and the
three above, are about to be vigorously pro
secuted. The section on the farm of Mr.
Watts, four miles above Northumberland,
is about half done, and the remaining sec
tions down, which are light, are also about
to be commenced. The road, we under
stand, is lo be graded immedia'ely for a
double track. Whether for a narrow, or for
a six font guage, will, we presume, depend
upon the sucercm of Mr. Fallon's mission
to Europe. Should he not succeed, and
the riiila lel phians reluse lo take the mat

into the hands of the New York capital

Thc Cause or the Suicide. The Wash

Gray, who committed suicide by throwing
himself under a railroad liain, says lhat he
married in ihiit city, five months since, a
daughter of S. B. French, late of Fauquie,
county, Virginia, and adds :
For some time before, he had been labor
ing undar great depression of spirits, arising
from the fact lhat ho was haunted by a ladv
with whom ha has been connected in mar
riage, it is said, in California. Stia lately
urrived in New York from that quarter, and
at once thicatened lo prosecute him for big
amy. We have every reason to believe that
in coiiluc'.ing his last marriage, Mr. Gray
was not aware that his former obligations
had not been sufficiently obliterated by the
action of Ihe law to leave him entirely at
liberty to torm thai connection legally.
Distress of mind at Hiding himself in such a
situation uuduubiedly drove him to ihe des
perate deed- A few days before thus com
