Mrs. Lockhart, acoompauied bs two ladies, whose acquaintance she had made at the hotel, left the Krone to ascend one of the heights adjacent, the beautiful Rosegg glacier The object of the ascent was to recure the Eidelwéiss, the famous flower. which grows only at a height of 8,000 0r 10.000 feet above the ‘evelof the sea.

Alto gether the fall wasabout [0 or 60 feet. Her friends were separated from her, and she was invisible, but ber moans were audible. One of the ladies descended trom her perilous positior and ran breathless down the narrow road, where ue bailed a carriage in which were a lady aud wo gentlemen. fhe young lady declared that there was # iady killed on the rocks, and implored the gen tlemen of the party to hasten to discover the b~iv. The Rev. Mr. Lefroy set out, outran the carriage, and climbing up the face of the moun. tain came to the lady. By this time three Ital- ian peasants came up, bat they did not know what todo.
