Hiastily crossing two or threo railroad tracks in the depot, the passengers arrived at the side of a train, and the conductor's ery of ‘All aboard for the West!” wag answered by our crowding into tho cara, The noxt in- stant tho exclamation, Right,” was quickly utterod, and away wo went. aN mem. ‘Wo had proceeded about thirty milos, Janding and tak- ing iu @ fow passengers at various points, when suddenly the whistle blew to put on brakes, thi in slackoned ite speed, and finally stopped. Seeing no station on either side of the road,I stepped upon tho platform, and the ‘cause of our stopping wae partly expiained whon I saw tweuty five or thirty men at work upou the track abead upon a steep embankment. A large opening of about forty fect in longtb, with the caving in of the earth at the ends, looked as if some disaster bad occurred; and as 1 followed the conductor and #ome half a dozén others to the apot I thought of writing a thrilling account of a terri+ bie railroad accident. True, no mangled human remaing wore theré, nor was there any ajparance of a wrecked train; but of cours®they would have been at once ro. movod,or might yet lie at tho bottom of that awful chasm, where a whole train might be hidden from sight, and 1 was producing my noteboox and pencil, previous to inquiring into the particulars, when, on looking down the fearful precipice, 1 stepped bastily back, sneaked a glance ‘around me to ace if I had been observed, and blushed as IT slid wy reportorial implements into my side coat pocket ; for the bright vision had vanished; that glance disclosod all—a new culvert was being built, and the timbers whieb supported tho immense trains oo which the track was laid bad been removed, thus causing the earth to cave in ab each end, giving the whole an appoarance simi ler to what might have been caused by a» frightful rail. road accident. Aftor @ sort delay the train passod safely over, and continued its former rapid speed. ON THE WRONG TRAIN—A ViNIT TO MiAGANA, ‘Half an hour after this adventure | looked at my wateb and found that the time was already whea | should bave arrived at Buffalo, 1 was about asking of my neighbor the time that the next train loft that olty for the West, when, in tarning a curve, I saw in the distagce a noblo suspension bridge. “‘Strange," I #0 liloquized, straining my eyes, “I never noticed that bridge before, and 80 often as | have been over this road, too."’ Approaching nearer, I rememborod it, I had seou it before somewhore. But where? Not on the Bulfalo road, for I had only seen two such bridges—one at Whosl ing, Va., and the other at Nugara Fails. This I kuow to be one of them; but which, thought I; I cannot be at Wheeling. Hark! that rolling, rumbling, rushing sound oxplaioa it.

Bat where are you going?’ “To Cairo,” 1 answored. “Thea you are all right, you will only lose twelve hours, Fave you ever been to Niagara Falls?’ “Mo, Ihave not,”’ was my re ply, “though I have three times crossed this bridge, ba never bad time to visit the fala’ “Well, you will have achanos now, this train rane to within a short distance of them, and you will have two good hours to look around before itleaves for Buffalo, which i enouge for any body.”’ What an unpootical individual, a1 «© romantic young lady would have called my ovnductorial friewd for bis last remark, after apending that time exploring the mysteries of the greatest natural wonder of the world, while I thought to myself, as the two hourt were rapidly drawing 10 & close, ‘what fool the fellow waa to make toch an expression.” Leaving this grand freak of oxtur © to apenk for iteelf—for Niagara's voice alone can tell the wonders of Niagara! will merely stato (hat | deweuded the inclined plane for five cents, walked up to wave that amount, cromset in & boat to the Canade side, stood on Table Rock, retarmed to thy American side, visited Goat Inland, dascandet the Tower, entered the Cave of tho Winds, aud commenced « walk loading underneath the ¢ whoa, noticiag the huge stones lying loose all around, 1 glanced upward to sae where they came from, and saw immense masses of rock Girectly overbesd, tows apparently ready to fail at any moment and crash the passer by to powder, while the chips OF stones similar to those Laaw upon the ground hang #0 loosely along the whole ridge that! halted as if by the word of comman4, sad tealy remembered that | had a watob, and, finding that the time for the starting of the train was fast approaching, returoed to the Tower 00 8 double quick, afters hasty look apward to satiny myself that neither stones nor rocks * eware of my intention to Dext ahasty retreat, and wore pot alremiy om their way down to oat it off And now our basy Western cliles are pamsed—uttalo Oevelan’, Columbus and Cc anat RETORYING TO TUR WAR—A PASE comre.

THE CRONE, ETOCK, C.—MOYRCT OF THE LATE ROOT IR LN WHETTRR TATION ‘The (ew nights’ sharp frost which we had at the North @ abort timo ago has done an | amount of injury tothe corn crop of the Western States. Both the corn and hay crops are vory moagre this your im the States of Ohio and liliseis, But little of (he former bas been cut, and in many ovsos the standing corm is nob more than from three to four feet in height. On this the frost haa been very severe, rondering it useless exeept for fodder, Ib ts estimate! that fully one third of tha corn crop Of thege States bas thus been destroyed, seme knowing old farmers say that this will make but little Aidvrence to the producer, as corn will be worth doubie the prico 1t would have beea if the crop bad been an Abundant ope, Im sofke portions of Obio it i# now yelling O6 high as Arty and seventy five cents per buabel At Zanonville corn ty selling at eighty cents, and in tho Belghborhond of Now Concord, in the counties of Musk ing um and Guernsey, 1: has reached the enormous price of one dollar, Two years ago corn gold at these places as low as ten, oleven and twoive cents por bushel. A num. ber of the farmers have beld;hack their crops year by yoar, rofusing to ell at thoes rates, some even baying of their noighbors, and quite ® pumber a month ago had Afty, sixty, seventy, and a fow nearly one hundred, thou. sand basbelson hand. These parties aro now selling, and im consequence are reaping a fortune. Hay a very scarce, and mw pow selling ti the Western States at twenty and twenty-two dollars per ton. ‘Thera is not enough hay in Oblo, indiana and Northern Uioow for the stock to subsist upon, ant sheep tn large numbers have been, aud ecill are being, sent to the Btates of Iowa and Southern Illinois for the purpose of pastariog then upon the prairies during the winter. Wheat bas boon & poorer crop in those States than for Hovoral yoars past, while oats cannot oven bo maid to boa ir bt. The cause of this soarcity of the hay and grain erope was the cold and wet weather of the spring, followed by the drought of summer. Tobacco, being planted upon bigber ground, has escaped with bat little injury, A PAYING CHOP OF TORACOO—ANAKP FRACTION While sponiing of tgbaoro, I may as well slate two facts which er WErTH imdntioning. A very wealthy farmer named Moses Chorry, reeidiar at Auaville Grove, Kendall county, Hl, thie epring gare two contrabauds eight acres of bis land to work en shares, furuishing thom with horses and wagoos, drying sheds, tools, &o.,a# well as a house to live in on bis farm, This crop haa proved a splontid one.

The fraud continued some time before It was diwoovered that tho representations were entirely false, and that ac- cording to the constitution of the United States no expt duty could be levied upon avy production of the country TUR MIMBO RIVEM— TH PROULLARITIN®, Tho Mississippi is perhaps the moat wonderful river ta tho world. Unlike gthers, it rans upon « ridge of its own formation, and ite bed ia higher than the surroundiog country. This is caused by tho deposit from the over flowing of the river settling upon ita banks; and it eno rare thing to seo the latter thirty and forty feet high, of rich dark loam, alone formed by thin wonderfol process. The small particles of oarth with which the Miastsel ppt ia filled cannot settle while the curreut i# rolling om at tho rate of four miles an hour, but whoa the water is com paratively quiet it gradually becomes clearer, and tho particles settle to the bottom, I have rea a tumbler of Misaissipp! water, after standing @ short lms, become clear aa crystal.to within an inch of the bottom, but that inch was formed of fine particles of earth whieh we at {be North cali mad.

This ia caused by the ourront being carried ob liquely to the opposite bank by the force with whic it strikes the former, and, an eddy forming, the bar rises In yoars thie bar becomes high ground, with rien, dark aol. The current, and eveo the bed of the river, are cor tly changing.
