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.
