I ordered the boat to make for him with all specdi but another boat being nearer to him, dragged him into it. I then saw that he la against one of the boatmen in a state of aartion. The two boats approached side by side, andl observed that he was lnsenstble, that the blood had left his lips. I ordered them to change his position to the'.angle of 45'degrees, and opened the collar of his shirt, which was 6rmly but toned. There was no sign of respiration, a pulsation at the wrist had ceased. I opened his hands, and struck them with my own open hands se at times, when he appeared to return to animatinn, and in a few seconds he spoke to me. I asked him if he was hur in any part of the xlody. when be tokl ae faintly, -upou the right thigh and leg, and to a certain extent upon the breast." He stated, also, that the current of wind which was much greater that he expected, "slewed" him round in his descent, and that the wind was taken out of him. I begged that he would go as quietly to his qiiarters as he could. and thatsevery care %ould be taken of him. I returned to his quarte ra, at Winter's Hit tel. near the bridge, andi found him haran going the people who were ass-milded in, fhe street in front of the house.

I expressed -Smith an earnest wish that he would never again make such a fearful experi ment; but I a afraid that this is not to 'be the last." -te pernicious even than such tool hard courage is the force of the bad ex ampe It produces.

Their real names she states to be ?datthew Rlay mer and James Weeks-and that her own name is Merinda. Early on Friday morning, upon the strength of this statement, her purchaser started in pursuit of the individuals who sold her to him. The two men who gave - their names as Mitchell and Wilkins, took the Western read, and are in a two horse t4 ~ eart, with a pair of grey horses. We had prepared the above statement for publication last week, but concluded to defer it until we could ascertaia whether the g'sestatement was true or not The ~rhsrof the girl returned to town on Thrsday evening, and says that he found her statement to be tsubstantially correct.

As OhWaIDOA FARUEa. WonderfuL Filtratioa--An invention ~ has been recently brought forward, which is calculated to have a vastly beneficial sa effect in filering and so purifying all the a water lor domestic and other purposes ine the kingdom. Lord Broughamn, with many other emiuent savna, has been surprised and delighted at the eliects pro duced. A machine only five feet square has been made to filter the enormous quan tity of two millions five hundred thou.' and gallons in every twenty-four hours and sat, too, so thoroughly and ellnesu ally, that water charged with mud, ani mlculo, and discomposed vegetable mat ter has been produced as bright and sweet, as it originally issued from the spring. TIhe tmerit of this tmtst useful and valuable inveution, belongs to a lLus sian merchant of the name of Stuckey, ased the water fillered by has been exam ind mud certified by P'rofessur Phillips, the etmiunet chemist. Idle Daughdrer.-lt is, says Mrs. Ellis, a most painful spectacle to families where the mnother is the drudge, to see tihe daughters elegantly dressed, reclinitng at their ease, with their drawing, their mu si, their fancy work, and their readin; beguilmng themnselves of the lapse of hours, days and weeks, and never dreatming of their responsibilities ; but as a necessary consequence of' the neglect of duty, grow ing weary of theif'useless lives, laying bold ofevery newly invented stimulant to rouse their droopitng energies, and blam lg their fate whetn they dare not blame their God, for having placed them where they~ are. Tese individuals will often tell you with an air of mffected e,.m passion-for whocan believe it real 1-that "poor dear mamma is working herself to death." Yet no sooner do you propose that they shoud assist her, than they declare she is quite in her element-in short that she I would never be happy if she had only half as much to do.
