A large mass of rock fell from the precipice of the horse shoe or Canadian falls Friday, and Tuesday night and yesterday smaller pieces broke away. The noise made hy the falling rock alarned. t'6 residents, in the icinUy on, (he Canadian side. The massive stone building known as the Table Rock lior.ae, wa jarred to such a degree that the doors were thrown open and the- occupants, who had retired, jumped out of bed greatly excited by the ncise and the vibration of the buUdiag, thinking it was. a shock of earthquake. The effect of these displacements on the contour of the falls is 4ulte marked, the change being to form an angle to the original horse shoe. It was a Very Bad Mixture, Nebraska City, Neb., Jan. u. A man and woman, clothes line, dog, poker and V-evolver became mixed up in a neighbor hood quarrel, which terminated seriously for the two principal. Samuel Merry man and Mrs, Charles Goodman are ueighbors in the southern part of the city, am i have not been upon the best of terms for some time. Monday night Merrymaa came home, and in the darkness ran ag iinst a clothes line belonging to Mrs. Goodman, stretched across Merryman's yan5. He requested her to take the line down, and she told him to do it himself. Thii he proceeded to do with a knife, when the woman set her dog ou him, and Merryman retired to the house.where he secured a revolver, and coming out, commenced shooting at the dog. Mrs. Goodman then armed herself with a poker, which she tnrew lit Merryman with terrible force, the point striking him in the fleshy part of the leff.making a wound seyeral inches in depth. The woman then went into the house, and after Merryman had pulled the poker from his leg he dared her to come out. 'She replied by S'tying: " No d n man could dare her," and came out in the yard, Merrymsn says, armed with something he could not tell what. Merryman then fired three shots at her, all of which took effect, one in the fleshy part of the left arm and two in her right arm. After the shooting Merryman gave himself up to the sheriff 4nd was placed in jail. The woman docs not seem to mind her wounds much. Merryman's wound from the poker is thought to !e the mot serious. The dog was the only thing mixed up in the affair that escaped uninjured. Storm Damages in New York. EJWatehtown, N. Y.. Jan. 9.

A farmer named Lavignac heard a rumbling noise not unlike an earthquake, and running out of the house was astonished to see the land about fifteen yards from his house ettle down. The poor man saw his barns tumble to pieces, cattle getting crushed, and the earth rolling into the river not three hundred yards distant. nai was a nign ohuk along tne river lias disappeared and in its place is an enoi mous cavity some live or six acres in extent and twenty or thirty feet dee). 1'here must have been a vast subterra nean cavern, for the edge of the crust which is plainly visible, was not more than a couple of feet thick. Several cows and horses were killed, many barns smashed to pieces and the scene is one pf sorry ruin. Further caving in is feared and ihe people in that neighborhood liv e in a state of great alarm. YOUNG MAN, BE HONEST. Jonas Catches IT is Rrik Toang Nephew Imitating Him. I ara on the turf now." said a Cashv. black eyed young man, 6till in his teens. to an acquaintance whom he met at the Guttenburg races. I am out lor monev. and everything goes." "When did you quit yor uncle's hock shop?" asked the boy's acquaintance. "Las' week Wo'n sdy. Ilg fired me put for trying to wprkpne of his own games. tine1 pf the funniest rackets you ever heard of. and I'm hist sore enoueii on th old than to give it dead away. The pld man vyag going up Center street one day last summer, and he stopped in a secpnd hand tool shop tp see a friend. While h was there he got monkeying with a second hand signal lox. It was a little cast iron thing with the word "pplice" on the front and a bras? button on the tpp. di clpckwork going in the box, and made as much'noiso as an alarm clock. H was stuck on the thhg tnI W4iM'i 'i I'J wit l - - " tie was n-om.1 - uJiu he said he would stick it .up on the wall and ring it if any toughs tried to make trouble in the shpp. v ell, that's just what he did with it. He screwed it un in plain sicht behind the cpunter and fastened wires to it tp make it lppk as if they went spinewhere. Then he tppk spme brpnze paint and touched up the letters so that npbody cpuld make any mistake in reading them. I dpn't believe ho thought of what a great graft the bpx was until he had it up about a week. Then ho made it use ful for the first time. A ypung fellpw came in with a dress coat wrapped up in a newspaper and wanted five cases on it. Uncle Jonas held the coat up and sized it up with the fellow that was trying to eoak it. The coat was big enough for two like him and tho old man says: 'Dot's a nice CPat. Ees id ypur own?' " 'Pctcher life,' says the ypung feller. Vait till I call my bruder,' says the old man, and he turned and jammed the button dpwn liard pn the signal bpx. The j-pung feller just gave pne glance at the box, and he shot out pf the door and left the coat behind. He ain't been seen around there since. After that the old man give mo to understand I was to come along kinder slow any time when ho rung the box, so that if people didn't scare, they wpuld take it that the call was for me, and then lie would consult me about the goods that were pffered. He worked tho call pn a man with a gold watch next day, and the man snatched the watch out pf his hand and skipped. After that he was tnpre care ful, and when a crcok came in with a ring a day or twp later, he laid the ring dpwn put pf reach and tpuched the but tpn, 6aying that he wpuld call his 6on and get his opinion about the stone. The cropk looked at the call bpx and ran his eye alpng the wires which ran toward the front pf the shop. Then he began to swear, and made a jump for the side dopr. Next day a nice lopking fellpw came in and described the ring, and said that it was stolen from him, and that he had cpmered the man who stole it, and learned where it was. " 'All right; I vill send fpr it,' says the pld man, and then he tpuched the buttpn again. " I will come in again in a half an hpur,' says the nice looking ypung feller, and skips out the dopr. Did he come back? Is aw. Well, the pld man wprked the new snap every chance he gpt. but sometimes he gpt fooled, and then I had to come to the front and be cpnsulted, always askin': 'Did ypu ring, sir?' One day when the old man was put to dinner a feller come in with a stud. It was a real bug and I wanted to win it. So I sprung tho call box on liim. He shpt put pf the side dopr and I dropped the ring in my pocket. Two minutes later me uncle put his hand on my shoulder, and two big tears ran down Ids nose as he told me that lie was 6prry that he had fpund out that I was not honest. He gave me a calking old lecture on honesty being the best policy, and told mo tha't he had been watcliing me from the back part pf the 6hop and seen me git the 'chenuine tiamont. I had to give it up to him, and he i3 wearing it now whilo I am on my uppers. Oh, yes, he fired me yust as soon as he found I vasn't hon est.' You go up there to-morrow and see if he don't ring the box on ypu and try to biuff you put of ypur watch. Then ask him about me." cw York Sun. A WINTER APPLE. It lay before me ou my study table So smooth, so juicy and no rosy red. That in a pensive mood, soliloquizing. While musing on life's cbangcH thus I said: Keak, O, my frleud. bo ruddy and so mellow. &minu ufxn me rroni my table there. In what Krecn orchard did you ripen, sweet one? Where did your tinted blossoms scent the alrf "Did your green leaves o'erebadow birdlinga tender, ; And whisper softly In the summer breeze?

"And when the storm king in his awful grandeur Thundered bis threatening dire above your hea J, Then uH you trembling hang in helpless terror. Fearing the daisied grass might bo your bed? "() t:!l me what that gallant suubeam whispered That bright day when the birds were wild with joy: Bay. di.l it whisper, 'Tou, of all, are fairest!' Mushing with brightest red your cheek so coy?" Hut ull in vain my queries, for no murmur. No whisper came responsive to my voice. Unable to resist, I seized the treasure And ended all its sorrows and its Joys. I Chica.70 Inter Ocenn. Ireland')! Last King. Roderick O'Connor was crowned with great pomp hi Dublin in the year i 1 l . . " t no, wiien ins stormy reign began. All bis life be was engaged in hostili ties with piratical Danes and even more troublesome subjects.

The tribute vus a stipend in cattle of -i.OOUcows. levied on his riv. minion. But it was only tho begin ning of Roderick's troubles.

The fn-st united eii'ort of the allied armies proved a disastrous failure, but the proud spirit of the king wes not broken. Listening to the wily plans of Henry, the Irish king con cluded a treaty with the English monarch. So far from filial ling tlia provisions of this contract, solemnly agreed upon in Dublin, Henry, soon after, actually made a. present of the wbolo of Conuaught to "William Fitzadlem de IJurgo and bis heirs. Irish Times. A Famous Hymn. When Bishop Heber's famous mis sionary hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," which be wrote in 1S24, when in Ceylon, first reached this country, a lady in Charleston was much impressed with the beauty of it, and was particularlv anxious to find a tune suited to it. She ransacked her music in vain, and then chancing to remember that in a bank down the street was a young clerk who bad con siderable reputation us a musical genius, sho sent her son with the hymn to the clerk with the request that ho write a tunc to fit it. In just half an hour the boy came back with the bymu. and the melody thus dashed off iu hot baste is today sung ull over the world and is inseparably connected with the hymn. The young haul; clerk was Lowell Mason. Brooklvn Eagle. A Curious Incident. A curious story is related by Herbert Pratt, of Hoi brook. Mass., who has been spending a few days gunning at Brant Rocks. Ho cays a number of gunnci-s were stationed oil the rocks in boats shooting coot. A flock flew over and a gu liner i:i one of the boats dis charged both barrels at the flock, ap parently without effect. George Cush mg. residing at that place, who was one of the party but in another boat, raised bis gun to (ire at two coot flying somewhat lower and from another direction, when a wounded bird from the first Hock fell, striking the cud of the barrel of bis g-un and knocking it from bis grasp into the water while it was being discharged". A subscription was taken up among the gunners pres ent to buy Mr. Cushing a new gun. Boston Journal. A Domesticated Quail. Herbert Smith, of Bridgeport, Conn., has a quail that flew in through his window about a year ago, and which he has tamed so successfully that it eats from his hand and seems entirely domesticated. It is left at liberty in the house, where it is very apt to sit in the lap of some one of the family, and, when taken out of doors, never tries to escape. Cases of such com plete domestication of a full 'grown quail are believed to be very rare.
