THE TIMES, NEW SL0OMF1EL1), l'AM DECEMBER 21, 1878. Coolness of a Boy. During the recent fresliet two persons niiglit have lost their lives at Passalo, had It not been for the quick wits of ft ten year old boy. About three hundred feet above the Pastmio Full a large iron bridge crosses the river, and about half a mile further up the stream theie Is a bend in the river, along which the old Country toad inns. John Conroy and his sot), a lad about nine years of age, tried in spite of the flood to bring a load of lumber o Ptersoii and were driv. ing as near to (lie roBd as possible. They were warned lepeatedly by persons along tbobBuks of the liver, but persisted. When they anived at the bend, in sight of the biidge above the turbulent and swollen falls, the horses stepped into agulley which bad been washed cut and were soon floun dering in the water beyond their depth. A slight current carried the wagon and its load farther into the water. The horses struggled f i antically and Conroy and the boy fehrkked for help. The body of the wagon, being loose on the axles, floated oil'. The horses at once struck out for the shore, which they gained iu safety. In the mean time the curreut had carried the body of the wagon with its load of lumber and human beings into the bed of tho liver. Au eddy carried the floating raft near to the shore. This served only to prolong the suffering of Conroy and his sou. The boy wanted to jump into tlie curreut, but was held back by his father. The biidge above the falls was black with people fctanding horror-struck and speechless. From ap pearances nothing short of a miracle cloud prevent Conroy and his son from passing under the bridge and over the fulls when the curreut onco caught tho iaft. The raft was slowly drifting into the current, -occasionally swinging around when seized by an eddy, when a lad about ten years old, named Michael Flynn, spoke up. Hastily taking the reins, from two teams standing on the bridge he fastened them together, crying to others to do likewise. -A number of carriages were stauding at the entrance to the falls ground, since the falls to-day was a spectacle for the whole neighborhood, and in an instant the reins were taken from the horses. Two stout ropes weie thus formed, and strong hands loweied them. Tho eddies still played with the raft, the current not having caught it as yet, aud when it approached the bridge both man and boy eagerly seized the ropes extended tuetrj. The boy nimbly -climbed up the rope he had bold of and Conroy himself was pulled up after. In another moment the raft swung iuto the current. The boiling water tore aud beat iitantro fragments aud dashed the debris vver the tails, 800 yards away. , , Millions of Dead Fish. The Key West, Fla., "Key" of a recent date says : Our smack fisherman are near ly discouraged with their ill luck. For over two months they have been unable to get live fish to Havana ; they all die on reaching the putrid waters of the bay, which has now extended over one hundred and fifty miles into the Gulf of Mexico. The smack George Stons, Captain Zeb Allen, attempted to run to the westward in hopes of escaping the deadly waters, and when fifty miles west of Tortugas, in twenty-five fathoms water, lost his w hole fare of fish in a very short time. lie describes the poisoned water to the outh and west of him as far as he could see. The largest fish, such as shark, jew fish and turtle were floating around his vessel, lie poiuted bis vessel eastward And enteied our port on Tuesday last, al most disgusted. On Saturday last the water had appeared near the nothwest lighthouse, wilh its thousands of dead fish floating like tufts of cotton over tho sea. On Monday aud Tuesday the water was dotted with dead Portuguese men-of-war, bntnot until Wednesday did tho dead fish appear in sight. The Stratum of dark red dish water passed through our island chan nels, carryiug on its surface, fish of every description many of them of the largest specimens of sharks, jew-flsh, barracuda, grouper, gruuU, interspersed with a few kinds of the fresh water varieties, such as the mud eels, bull-head, catfish, bream, porch, elo. The fiesh-water fish, eola., are found in great abundance in Lake Okeechobee, Kissiramee river, aud Fish Eating creek. As those dead fish approached our wharves the stench became ulmost intolerable, aud many plans were attempted and suggested to keep them iu tide water. Had this oc curred in the heat of summer, a plague must have followed. It is even yet feared. The fish ate dying in our harbor, and no one kuows where this great evil will stop. Our people are largo flab-caters, aud, if de prived of this cheap class of food, there jnust necessarily be much sufleriug." &W Auguste Guidi and bis wife were ' very miserable in San Francisco. They had beeu married only a few mouths, but were already discouraged by poverty, hav ing beeu aocustomed to an easy, careless life. Guidi sent a letter to a friend, re questing him to go to a certain spot in a nuuurb of the city, flud a bit of red paper, and follow a trail of similar pieces until be ame to "something startling." The friend did as requested, and found the deadTodies of Guidi and bis wife. They had committed suicide. ri.r.AHi: iii:ai this J O O. 11 33 T c c c H H H E E E A A A P P P Wc nsk our patrons to call and sec the bargains wc can now offer.
