              NIAGARA COUNTY NEWS. VOL. 2. YOUNGSTOWN, N. Y.. OCTOBER (5, 1882. NO. ;*2. TOPICS OF THE WEEK. The rebellion in Ecuador, South America, is still in progress. A caulk is to be laid between Portugal and the United States. Comets are getting numerous, a new one is discovered about ever)1 week. It is estimated that tho war in Egypt will cost the Egyptians $1350, 000,000.  An examination of tho Egyptian treasury shows that about £1,000,000 were taken by Arabi Pasha. All tho Irish suspects now in prison except thoso against whom crime can bo proved arc about to bo released.Fifty Irish families have been evicted in the barony of Erris and the people have been ordered not to shelter them. PitOFESSOK A. A. Hopkins for governor, with a full ticket, was nominated at tho New York Stato Prohibition convention in Rochester. It is officially announced that General Wolsoley and Admiral Seymour will be raised to the peerage in acknowledgment of their recent services in Egypt. Yellow fever reports from Brownsville, Texas, show that up to the 213 d there had been a total of 1,870 cases and lO.'i deaths. At Pensacola, Fla., there had been 344 cases and fortj-one deaths. Mil. Gladstone reiterates the declaration that he is unable to interfere with the operations of the Mormons in England, as he presumes that their converts go with them will- iVly. The full New York Republican State ticket nominated at Saratoga iB as follows: For governor, Charles J. Folger; for lieutenant-governor, 15. Piatt Carpenter; for chief justice of the court of appeals, Charles Andrews; for congressman-at-large, A. Barton Hepburn. Ex-Uniteo States Senator Christinncy has been grunted a divorce from his young wife on the ground of desertion. While United States Senator Mr. Christiancy, an old man witli eeveial children by a former wife, married a young lady employed in the treasury department. Stalwaktism is to the Republican party what Tammany was io the Democratic party; an eyesore, a blood-sucker, a divider, a robber, a humbug, a nuisance. It has a minority vote but a majority of the cash, and when this is played out and the game captured by the Democratic party, it will bo wanting to sneak back into tho Republican ranks and swallow the fatted calf. Grover Cleveland, Mayor of Buffalo, who is the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York, and David B. Miller, Mayor of Elmira, who is nominated on the same ticket for Lieutenant Governor, are both bachelors. Now if they are married —we mean elected—Cleveland, of course, will be lord and master,while llill will have to cook the grub and fly around and nurse the children. The Steamer City of Toronto was fraudulently seized while lying at tho wharf in Toronto last week, Wednesday. The customs collectors at that place had "been bought up and corrupt legislative influence brought to bear supposedly by the managers of tho opposition boat, Chicora. As soon as tho seizure was made, the oftieial left for parts unknown and it took some time to find him, when orders from the minister of marine at Ottawa, ordered her released. The 'City' has a certificate from a board of Government inspectors stating that she was in excellent condition and t hat she would doubtless be so for live years without repair. This is a correct statement, the City has had nearly all the freight this season and the Chicora people being jealous took this cause to stop her running. We will sec who will be the gainer in the long run. A RIVER HORROR. COLORADO TRAIN ROBBED. A CRAZY MAN'S DEED. Robbed and Murdered—Railroad Accidents—Yellow Fever—Fatal Runaway.Another Rivor Horror.

The books of tho boat and tho United States mail were lost, with a miscellaneous cargo including 500 bales of cotton. To the pilot, John Stout, it is due that many lives were savod.

Canals had boon, still'are, and will bo Important factors to railroads, of which they have boen tho educators.

THE SOLDIER'S LIFE. l'he Camp of (ho Canadian Volunteers nt Niagara *'ity—The 12th Infail try Fort Niagara. [UulTalo Express.] Although thore are many points in the vicinity of Buffalo which have features of interests to oxcursionists, perhaps none—the great cataract oxccpted—havo moro varied attractions than those to bo found at the junction of the Niagara River with Luke Ontario. On the east bank, most pictuiesquely located, is ono of Uncle Ham's border military posts the warliko part of which everybody horeabouts knows by the name of Fort Niagara, while on the opposite shore is Niagara City, a historic old town that contains much that is of intorest, particularly reminiscences of tho battle grounds of the war of IHI2, with tho almost obliterated earthworks of old Fort Uoorgo, and tho yet better preserved fort built on the lake front by the Frouch in years long gone by. Niagara City is located at a point and with nutural surroundings that make it not unknown horeabouts as a summer resort, and iu tho full tide of the w arm season many strangers tarry for rest and recreation, while curiosityhunters find their time well occupied. The summer season proper, closed something like two weeks ago, but for the last ten days Niagara City has had an attraction of much interest to the loyal subjects of Her Majesty's Dominion, being nothing less thaif tho annual encampment of a portion of the Canadian Volunteers. To learn something of tho military methods in voguo among our neighbors across the border, u number of Buffalo officers visitod Niagara City yesterday und inspected the encnmpincut, and it Is safe to say that a ltioro pleasant day could not have been enjoyed, had it been planned weeks in advance. The party, consisting of Maj.-Gen. Win. F. Rogers, 4th I)iv. N. (j. H. N. Y.; Lieut. IJ. F. Stiles, 10th U.S. Infantay, Fort Porter; Col. T. H. Waud, 65th Itegi mout; Liout.-Colouel K B. Jewett, bth Brigade Staff; Surgeon A. II Briggs, and other officers of the With Regiment, left this city at 8 o'clock via tho Niagara Falls branch of the Canada Southern, and arrived at their destination without incident, save that one of the officers more gallant than his comrades, finding that a fair Chippewa Canadienne had left her satchel behind, and not discovered its losfl until after the train loft the station, offered to buy her another. Finding, however, that said satchel contained her dinner—she was among those bound to see tho " rodcoats"—ho threw up the contract. As the train entered the limits of the town the camp camo in viow on tho side toward the river, and a pretty sight it was. Tl.e x>nclike Sibley tents were arranged with due regard to the symmetry which should mark the canvas city of a brigado, and in contrr.st to the neat A tents in use in our service, the effect was well calculated to impress the sjiectator. After the commissary department had furnished a ration of sandwichos, the party proceeded to attack the enemy's forco. which was already inarching to the parade ground in colnmn of battalions for brigade drill. Before going farther it may be said that there have been in camp during tho prsent tour of duty about 2,?' JO men, which is a far smaller number than in yours gono by, w'acn bet iroen 5,000 and 0,000 lias boon tho aver age number. Tho camp is essentially one of instruction, ami, like u.ll militia encampments, just begins to bo profitable wlwa the duty terminates, though in this case the bri gade will havo had some ten days of \\ ork when otiinp it broken on Friday. The fore* 011 the ground is uutler tho general supervision of the Deputy-Adjutant-General, Col cinol Dennison of Toronto, and consists of the l'.'th, :i-ttli, 85th, IKtth, -Uth, and 77th I lit - talions of Infantry and tho Hamilton and Toronto Held batteries (light artillery). lOaelt battalion has its band. Tlio infantry represents the counties of Ontario, York, Himcoe, Welland, and Hamilton. The battalions nro ram mantled by lieutenant colonels, and havo [in average strength of about soveu compan ius, six being the minimum and ton tho max Imutn number of companios allowod to each imttallon, while each company has 42 enlist - sd men when recruited tho maximum. Tho number present in tho different battalions paries, but tho companies are equalized for the tour of camp duty. Tho day's work bo;ins at six o'clock, ai d from ten o'clock until four in tho afternoon tlio timo is devoted -o drill. Yesterday tho men were kept busy jy Colonol Dennison in brigade work, pnr-iculuriy in marching in review, in anticimtion of tho visit of Minister of Militia, who was expected but did not arrive until late. At four o'clock tho men uro excused and, when not ou guard or special duty, havo all .lie timo to themselves until six o'clock the 'ollowing morning. From tho foregoing a flight idea of the routine work limy bo hud, md while it loonies easy when compared ivith tho scheduled duty of u siuglo day in in American militiacntnp, it, may well here narked that the time dovotod to drill is ivork in tho fullest sense of tho word. Having taken a hasty view of tho camp ind watchod tho movements of tlio troops 'or a half-hour, during which tho marching >f tho company having tho right of tho 77th Battalion, was complimented with hearty ipplauso by tho American offlcors, tho party ■verc ferried across tho river to tnko a look it Fort Niagara and pay their respects to ,ho officers of tho 12th United States liiCnnry who are now quartered thero, having ar'ivod a few days ugo fr m their late statlou n Arizona. The lioadquartors of tho 13th ire to bo at Madison Uarracki, and for tho jcnefltof the people of Buffalo, who will Ind a warm welcome at Fort Ningara under ;ho now roglino, tho following roster of the lew olllco: s at this post is presented: Major M. A. Cochrane, I'ost Commandant. Capt. W. E. Dove, commanding Co. K.; lit. I'. O. Wood, Quartermaster and Commissary of the post. Capt. 11. Ci. Brown, commanding Co. H. Lt. James Halloran and I,t. C. 11. Dortli, Adjutant.Capt. Price, Assistant Burgeon. The total number of enlisted men in the garrison is about 70, and the change from life on the frontier and the discomforts of Indian fighting, to tho quiet and contentment of a border j>ost In the Kmplro State, is more than agrecnblo. Under tho guidance if Lieutenant Stiles the visitors were presented to Major Cochrane, who generously axtendod tho hospitalities of his quarters and a soldier's wclcome to all. After meeting tho commandant's wife, tho officers admired the tine grountls and looked over tho Fort. The latter, as is doubtless well known, is on tho extreme point of tho American side. Tho quarters of the men are in brick barlacks, in the grovo directly opposite tho house used by tho married officers. These iiro tlvo in number, anil as thoro uro seven afficers at tlio post, two the bachelors find quarters in the citadel within the fort. In response to queries Major Cochrane Raid that General Hherman (luring his visit Monday stated that lie thought the estimates now through would this winter result in the granting of an appropriation and result In making Fort Niagara a four company |«)st. Should this bo done, it will Ihj ono of tho best on tho northern border, as its natural advantages are first class. Iteturuing to Niagara fity tho party dined !ind then witnessed the work of the Hamilton field battery, which was busy til artillery target practioe on the luko front near tho aid French fort. Tho drill was very Interesting Tho practice was under tho direction of Col. Montezambert. an inspector Holland from the Artillery school at Kingston. i'lie method is ruthor different from tlmt of the United .States Artillery, and tho officer very kindly explained the points at length. The pieces were uine-poutid>*s of the Armitrong pattern, made at the Woolwich (Hug.) Arsenal, rifled with throe grooves, mid were ivell calculated to iinpre..< the spectator with their serviceable chara< tor. ICach gunner lias u chance to sight tho piece so many Limes during tho practice, and a acne is kept n manner hiuiilar to that of infantry target work. The infantry battalions wore found hard it work under Col. Dennison's direction, and tieforo the afternoon's work closed tbe several battalion's were deployed as skirmishers, and, served with blank ammunition, they fired to their heart's content. When the Doinmand* were dismissed tho officers of the Buffalo party were enU itained at the quarters of I/t Col Herbert Gwyn, comniatidirig the 77th Battalion of Hamilton, Ont. Colonel <iwyne ovidently enjoys a good joko, as ho seriously asked a member of the party if ho was not General Bber.i.au! The gmnd review of the troop*, not held yesterday, will probably occur to-day a* tho iim. a. P. C'arron, Minister of Militia, arrived from Toronto by the steamer Chicora. He was met at the wharf by Col. Dennison, Major Ixtwis of tho 12th, and other officers. The paymaster arrived by the same boat and was escorted from the boat by a guard. Two well-filled satchels doubtless contained th" amount necessary to pay each man tho 12 days' allowance duo him for the j resent tour of duty. Tire troops will bo paid before breaking camp to-morrow. TUIC DADCD may ljcfounrt on file at Ow.
