Boy Drowned a t Ticonderoga. Bobert Warren, about 9 years of age, was drowned in the lake at Tioonderoga, Tuesday noon, a few moments before the arrival of the steamer Vermont. He had been in the habit of bringing pond lilies on the boat to sell. He had his basket full and was waiting for the boat, when he ac- cidentally slipped and fell off the wharf. Accounts differ. Some Bay that no one saw him fall in, others that his little sister was present, and that he was attempting to catch his hat when he fell off the wharf. The Rockwell brothers, pilots on the Ver- mont, recovered the body, which had been in the water about an hour, and of course life was extinct. A Husband Fatally Shoots his Wife and Wounds his ftrother-iu-I,nw at Cheever—His Flight and Arrest in Vermont. Levi McConley, of Oheever, near Port Henry, an industrious young man 27 or 28 years old, shot and fatally wounded his wife Sunday at about 4 v. M. He emptied charge of buckshot into her side, they passing through her body from side to aide,.and at the same time wounding his brother-in-law, named Marston, of Port Henry, in the hand. The woman died toward midnight. DOMESTIC DIFFICULT! THE CAUSE. The pair had lived apart for several months, the husband being jealous, with good reason, of attention paid to his wife by bia cousin William Clarfc. The woman had been living with Clark ior some time, the two often going to MeConley's house to try to get her clothes. She went Sun- day for that purpose, but MiConley told her that if she took the clothes pe would shoot her, and he did upon her attempting to take them. The man had a fairly good reputa- tion but naturally the wonin's reputation had deteriorated lately, although she was loved greatly by her husband, who tried to win her from evil ways. • KISSING HIS VTtS<$ WIFE. McConley remained in tl*e house helping to take care of his wife, till he saw she oould not live, when he kissed her affec- tionately, said \good byV' and started northward. THE SLATEB'S FXIXGHT. After the shooting, McConley fled and succeeded in getting across the lake Sun- day night, and was seen in Vergennes early on Monday morning. At that place he had his mustache colored, but the officers suc- ceeded in tracking him to New Haven, where he had his mustaohe cut off, and thence fled toward Bristol. He was followed by several officers and a great throng of people, armed with shotguns, revolvers and rifles. HIS AEREST. He was finally arrested at Lincoln, Vt., on Monday evening, by Officer Kimball, of Vergennes, and was taken to that city and delivered to Sheriff Jenkins, of Essex county, and taken to the Elizabethtown jail, having waived an ^examination till the meeting of the grand jury in Deeenv er ADDITIONAL PABT1CUXABS. The following particulars we take from an extra issued from the office of the Port Henry Herald: It appears Levi McConley, a person of weak intellect, became jealous of his wife, Olive, suspecting her of intimacy with one William Clark. The action of the two par. ties had become town talk, and so often was the subject discussed, that people were led to believe he had occasion for his suspicion. May 21st, the woman left Levi's bed and board, and it is charged associated crimi- nally with Clark. McConley seeias to have had the greatest affection for his wife, and did all he could to induce her to return to his home. Sunday she went to her hus- band's house in company with her para- mour for the purpose of obtaining some of her clothing. She secured a portion of it, and started to leave the house, when Mc- Conley forcibly took the package from her and returned it to the bedroom from which she had taken it. There he found his fifty calibre musket, took it it in hand and dis- charged the contents, (buck-shot), into her person, the shot entering her right side near the lower ribs, passing entirely through the body coming out on the left side and resulting in a wound that caused the death of the woman about o'clock Sunday evening. was committed the man, present Who attempted to asid'' : s gun and left the j. *• announcement of octets, hrup, accompanied by blark arted for the looality of the a for the purpose of making ar- .or some unaccounted-for fact the jer did not secure the prisoner, and the murderer, about 7 o'clock in the evening, departed from Barber's Point to the Ver- mont shore. Word was immediately sent to Sheriff Jenkins, who, with his usual promptness, made his appearance and took proper measures to secure the criminal, sending out assistance and himself laboring through the entire night until he found a trace. me APPBABANOE. The murderer is described as a medium- sized man, weighing 150 pounds, brown hair, and smooth face, and wore a sandy mustache until his Bight. THE CAJTIPINC SEASON. Items and Incidents. Imagining our head-quarters Bt the pop- ular resort at Adams' Landing South Hero, we will give a few glimpses of what has come to our knowledge during the past week. Last Friday night camp-fires could plainly be seen on the New York side, supposed to be those of Messrs. Frank and C. E. Pal- mer, and friends, who are said to be camp- ing at Point Au Boche. Mr. Corliss and family, of Albany, are at Mr. Adams', near the landing, and the house, which is large and roomy, is so filled with summer boarders that their feet almost hang out of the windows! The entire camping party at the landing ere on Wednesday invited by the obliging captain of the Maquam to accompany the Wai worth-Palmer-McCaffrey party to their beautiful camp at Kibbe's Point, and some very gladly availed themselves of the op- portunity. Among the viators at Camp Adams recent- ly, we might name Col. Nichols, who has gone into camp near by, Mr. A. Thomas, Mrs. L. Trombly, Mrs. M. Wever, Mrs. J. L. Carter, Dr. E. C. Low, J. B. Gilmore, L. D. Larkin, C. McDougal, and others. Yes- terday, the Sunday School classes of Miss Frank Lewis and Mrs. A. Guibord, (about 25 in number) visited the camp and were entertained by their teachers, and the num- ber at dinner, from all quarters, was about 60! Religious services were attended on Sun- day at the Congregational Ohurch of Grand Isle in the morning, Bev. Mr. Wheeler preaching, and at the M. E. Church in the afternoon, Bev. Mr. Bragg preaching. The vehicle for conveyance to church was the puritanical hay-rack! The steamers, steam and sail yachts, row boats, Ac, about the Island, make it lively. Mr. A. Thomas' yachting party called on Monday. They were on a several dayi cruise. Mr. Hartwell and party occupy their cottage again. Messrs. Bixby and friends were in camp three or four days recently. By the way, any one in Plattsburgh de- siring a day of enjoyment and relief from care, should take the Maquam in the morn, ing, arriving at Adams' Landing at 8 o'clock, where they can remain till 4 in the afternoon, arriving home at 5. The Cap- tain will spare no pains to make it pleasant for them. BOILEll EXPLOSION. The boiler of the Glens Falls paper mill company exploded last Monday afternoon, shaking the buildings and breaking vii^ dows within a radius of a mile. The boiler Was thrown 400 feet and wounded Christo- pher Yattaw, fireman, of South Glens Falls. He was terribly scalded and cut about the head. His body was- blown 30 fetu. The ruins took fire and the flames spread with great rapidity, destroying the buildings wherein were soda ash and fuel. The ex- ploded boiler was one of three of a rolary pattern used for boiling straw, but had re- cently been used to make steam for the engines. The loss is $100,000; insured for half that sum. A small brjok building located 40 feet from the boiler room was destroyed by the concussion. Boat Bace. There will be a boat race at Treadwell's Bay, Point au Roche, on Tuesday, July 31, at 10, A. M , between George E. Rood, and Nathan L. Parsons. They will row five one-mile stretches.

William Gettys, Esq., a well known citi- zen of Champlain, who keeps a watch re- pairing shop and variety store, met with a very serious accident on Monday morning last. A boy came into his shop and care- lessly took from an upper shelf a revolver, one chamber of which was loaded. No sooner had he taken it down than it dis- charged, the ball lodging in the knee of Mr. Gettys, who was working at his bench. The revolver is what is known as the \Brit- ish bull dog,\ the same pattern, and same size bullet as caused the death of President Garfield. The boy professes to be wholy ignorant of the cause of its premature dis- oh&rge. Dr. Coit was summoned, who after ex amination, decided that the only safety for Mr. Getty&' life was to amputate the limb. Drs. Daggett, of Champlain, and Dodge of Houses Point were called as counsel and concurred in the same opinion. Before amputating, however, the opinion of Dr. Lyon, of Plattsburgh, was obtained. He arrived Tuesday morning and after careful examination, fully sustained the opinion of Dr. Coit and the others. The amputation was performed at about 11 o'clock. The patient rallied well from the operation and seems to be doing well. Mr. Gettys is we believe a Justice of the Peace for tho town of Champlain. His widowed mother resides in Beekmantown, •with her son, Washington Gettys. He has a wife and four children. Fire at Little Fall*. An extensive factory, storehouse, lum- ber yard, and other buildings at Little Falls were destroyed by fire yesterday. THE OGDESSBUBG BOAT RACE. HA\LA\ vs. ROSS. Hanlan the Winner-Time 27:57^— Crowds of Visitors from the United States and Canada—Incidents of the Race. Ogdensburg probably never was visited by such a crowd as gathered last Wednes- day from all parts of the United States and Canada to witness the race between Ed- ward Hanlan and William Ross, for a purse of $2,000 contributed by the people of that city and Prescott, added to a stake of $1,000 a side put up by the oarsmen. So great was the influx from all points by boats and cars that the hotels were taxed to their ut- most, and neither love nor money could secure a room in one of them. Halls and empty buildings around town were hired and fitted up with cots, and even these im- provised houses of refuge were packed. THE CONTEST ANTS. Both Hanlan and Ross had been steadily in training for the past two or three weeks, the former's headquarters being located on the bank of the Oswegatchie in Ogdens- burg, while Ross' were in Prescott, on the opposite side of the St. Lawrence. Physi- cally the competitors seemed about on a par. Hanlan is not a large man, weighing about 150 pounds, while ROBS is much rrier and taller, weighing about 180, but their frames are well knit and their move- ments bespeak strength and tenacity. THE OOUBSE. The course was laid out along the Amer- ican shore of the St. Lawrence, beginning about a quarter of a mile above the light- house, and stretching two miles up the riv- er to the turning stake boat and thence to the starting point, making a distance of four miles. It was marked out in quarter miles by buoyB, which were made promi- nent by flags. During the race a regular cordon of Bteamers were drawn on the outer side of the course, thus preventing the intrusion of small craft. THE DAT AND THE WEATHEB. The morning opened fair and clear, but the strong southwest breeze mad« the white caps visible. At one o'clock the crowd began wending ing their way to the grand stand on the chore of the river opposite the starting point. Steamers fairly black with their human freight also took their position along the line. At about 3 o'clock the Lancet, the press boat, with the judges and referee, together with the reporters, went out to examine the condition of the water. She first visited Ross' boat house, on the Prescott side, where he and Courtney, his judge, had a brief interview. The little steamer then crossed back to the American side, and went over the entire course, but the referee decided that the water was too rough for the race, and she returned to the harbor. At 5:45 the judges and reporters made another trip over the course, but there had been but little improvement. The Lancet, iwever, crossed over to Ross' quarters and he was ordered by the Referee to on the course at 6:45. She then recrossed the river and Hanlan received a similar Order. A SPliHNDID SIGHT. At this time the outer line of the course was covered with scores of steamers and sail yachts, all gaily decorated with ban- ners, while the bank of the river was crowded. THE STABT. At 6.45 the wind had fallen and the water was pronounced by the referee suitable for the race, hfi soon as the decision was given, the intelligence was conveyed to those on shore by the screeching of the steamers' whistles. Both Hanlan and Ross were out on the course. It was estimated that there must at this time have been at least ten thousand people upon the shore, and half as many more upon the steamers, rhile buildings upon both sides of the river were covered, many eagerly scanning every movement with field glasses. At exactly 7 o'clock, Referee Eastis said loudly: \Gentlemen are you ready ? Go!' : Hanlan was the first to take water, shooting ahead at his first stroke, and he maintained the lead to the end. He seemed to row with ease, most of the time making 32 strokes per minute, and twice on the up stretch he stopped to lap water from the river with his hand. THE HOME STBETOH. He turned the stake boat thirty seconds in the lead, in 14.12, taking the outer line of the course, and all the way down the home stretch he kept steadily increasing the distance from his opponent, and came in at the end of the four miles in 27 min- utes 57i seconds. Ross' time was 28 min- utes 45 seconds. THE JUDGES, The following were the judges, who per- formed their duties satisfactorily to both parties as far as we could learn: Referee, John Eustis, of New York city; judge for Boss, Charles E. Courtney; judge for Han- lan, John R. Davis; judges at finish, R. Southerland, of Toronto, for Hanlan; Ed. Ross, of St. Johns, N. B., for Wallace Ross. There were also judges at the turn, and time-keepers. GIVING WAY TO ENTHUSIASM. Just as Hanlan crossed the finish, the setting sun which had been obscured by a sloud shone forth again, tinging the hori- zon with a golden hue which was refleoted upon the water. At this moment the scores of steam whistles on vessels and the boom- ing of cannon upon the shore announced that the race was over. For many minutes this unearthly \pandemonium on a tear,' as one reporter described it, was kept up, being re-echoed by the cheers of those up- on the shore, although they were then ignorance of the winner. A KALBE BEPOBT. At this time some one started the report that Eoss had won, and it was telegraphed abroad, and it is said the betting gentry lost considerable money in an attempt to \hedge.\ The press boat soon arrived • and the report was corrected. HANLAN'S OVATION. Hanlan upon his return to his headquar- ters plunged into the water and swam to the float. This is said to be his usual cus- tom after taking a spin. An immense crowd filled the street to catch a glimpse of the champion, but by the aid of a police- man he was taken to a carriage and driven rapidly to his quarters at the Windsor Hotel. NOTES. —Many roughs were present and quite a number were relieved of their valuables while forcing their way through the crowd. -Hanlan's boat is ot cedar, thirty feet, six inches in length, a sixteenth of an inch in thickness, and weighs 27 pounds. —Hanlan and his wife attended the con- cert at the Opera House on Wednesday evening, occupying a private box. He waa soon discovered by the audience, and in response to repeated cheers came to the front and briefly returned his thanks. —Hanlan and Courtney had quite aa angry war of words the night before the race. Each charged the other with duplic- ity, and considerable money was displayed and challenges made, but it will probably amount to nothing. —The leading papers of New York, Bos- ton, and the Canadian cities, sent repre- sentatives to report the race. The Press Committee were indefatigable in their efforts to render all the assistance in their power, even engaging two steamers, that all might have an equal chance. ©ORGAN'S HORSE SHOE MACHINES A JLetter from One of Our Citizens. EDITOBB SENTINEL :—In your last issue appeals an invitation to home capitalists from J. H. Dorgan, to invest in a home enterprise. The heading of the invitation, \A Rare Chance,\ is a truism. As a gen- eral thing, men who have become inventors of things the people need and require, are obliged to seek aid away from home and among strangers. * Mr. Dorgan's horse shoe machine is an undoubted suecess. This is the reward of years of patient and persevering toil, as the writer of this well knows, and it would only be meet and just that his own towns- men who have been blessed with affluence should come forward and take part in this enterprise. It is far ahead of any sewing machine investment, as Mr. Dorgan. says, there being but three competitors in the United States, Burden and Walker, near Troy, N. Y., and Perkins, in Rhode Island. They have kept closed doors and vigilant guard, that no one might learn anything of ' their \modus operandi,\ but Mr. Dorgan has not only penetrated their secrecy, but has revolutionized the entire business by simplifying the machinery, so that the cost of manufacture is greatly reduced. It has been clearly demonstrated that these ma- chines will earn (each) dear of all expense, one hundred dollars per day of twenty hours, making six hundred dollars per week, or thirty-one thousand, two hundred dollars per year, a good deal more than the interest on a half million dollars, at six per cent. Truly, this is a \rare chance,\ and it is to be hoped that Plattsburgh and its, capitalists may have the full benefit of it, and that Mr. Dorgan may live to see his new enterprise achieve as great a success as he could wish, while reaping an, abun- dant harvest, OBSEBVEB, VEIVNOR'S PREDICTIONS^ The Canadian Prophet Weather of July and August. on the 19th and 20th—Very heavy rains and generally sultry weather, with thunder and wind storms through Middle and Northern States. 21st and 22d—More settled and cooler; frosty in New York State and at points southward. 23d and 24th—Heat and sultriness^ droughts in portions of Pennsylvania and. adjacent States. 25th and 26th—Great beat, with scattered storms of rain and thunder, with hail; hot- test portion of the month. 27th and 28th—Cooler; storms along the Hudson to New York; heavy rains in nor- thern sections. 29th to 31sfc—Cooler for brief period, with pretty general storms at close oi month and entry of August; heavy rains and floods at western points. The first week of August is likely to give heat and some severe local storms where these were experienced last year. Hail should be guarded against in Western sec- tions. I think the first portion of this month will be characterized by widespread heat. First change to cooler weather after the 10th, when a very decided relapse to cool weather may take place, with even, snowfalls in mountainous regions.,. A FATAL ACCIDENT. Nathan Arnold of West Chaser Killed. An old and esteemed citizen of this county, Mr. Nathan Arnold, of West Chazy, was yesterday afternoon thrown from a load of hay, striking upon his head and receiv- ing injuries from which he died in aboui an hour. When nearly opposite the residence oJ Hiram Clark his horses got frightened and ran, throwing Mr. Arnold violently to the ground. He was taken to Mr. James Robinson's and Dr. Honsinger was called, but to no avail. Mr. Arnold, who was about seventy years of age^was a former resident of Peru, and a brother of Mr. Henry Arnold. He has been successful in his business life and accumulated a good property, and also successful as an active working Christian, always on hand to attend to the religious services, ordinances and daily duties de- volving upon a professor of religion. He was one of the pillars of the Wesleyan Methodist church, and in that relation, as well as others, he will be greatly missed. KAILHOAD RUMBLINGS* Throe trains were added to the D. & H. time card last week, running from Sara- toga to connect with the new West Shore railroad. —The painters in the employ of the D. & H. C. Co., at Green Island, have been over the Champlain division for the pur- pose of repainting the switches and draw- bridges.
