we learn from Col John FISK that n melan-
choy accident occurred at Niagara Falls on Sun.
day last. fine lad of tho name of john MUIR
ply, aged about l3 years, in the employ ofJudgo
Porter, in crossing TO Chippewa in canoe. was
drawn into the rapids on the Canada side, and into
the Great Horse Shoe Fall'' When he was
first discovered he was beyond the reach of all
earthly assistance; and, although the little fellow
did all that his courage and strength could do,
holding his slight canoe for nearly twenty min
uies, almost stationary, and when tired nature
guvo up oontondnS longor with the Wind aud
current both against him, the little fellow plunged
overheard and with the courage and perseverance
of man, for some time breasted the current.
But, alas, too late; though within one hundred
yards of the shore, he in the embrace of the
rushing cataract, which never releases its VIC
Tins!


Tho broken fragments of his frail bark wcro
all that were found of the little mariner. A
widowed mother ami three chill lren mourn the
loss Of son and brother, and many strangers
lament the fate ofa noble and excellent boy.
