Inthe Principality of Hoheniohe, Laugen- burg, is @ village called Ragenbach, ere about twenty years ago the following heart- rending but heroic event took place. (ne af- ternoon in the early spring or autumn, my kind informant did not exactly know which, in the tavern-room of Ragenbach, several men and women having assembled from the vil- lage, sat at their ease, none anticipating what would happen on that eventful day The smith formed one of the merry company, a strong, vigorous man, with a resolute counte- nance and ot mein, we _ with such 8 good natured smile upon his lips that every one who saw him admired him Every evil disposed person shunned him, for the valiant smith would allow nothing wrong in his pres- ence, and it was not advisable to have any- thing to do with him ey 1 in a proper man- ner. His arms were like bars of iron, and his fists like forge hammers, so that few could equal bis strength of body. The brave emith sat near the door chatting with one of bis neighbors, I know not what; ail at once the door sprung open, and a large dog came staggering into the room, a great, strong, powerful beast, with a ferocious, fright- ful aspect, his head was hanging down and his eyes bloodshot, his red-colored tongue hanging half-way out of his mouth, and his tail Sseppe between his legs. Thus the fe- rocious beast entered the room, out of which there was no escape but by one door. Scarce- ly had the smith’s neighbor, who was bath- keeper of the place, seen the animal, when he became deathly pale, sprang up and exclaim- ed with a horrid voice, ‘‘(iood Heavens, the dog is mad !’’ ‘hen rose an outcry! The room was full of men and women, and the foamiug beast stood before the only entrance; no one could leave without passing him. He snapped say- sgely right and left, and no one could pass bim without being bitten. This increased the horrible confusion. All sprang up and shrank from the farious dog with agonizing counte- nances. Who should deliver them from him ? The emith also stood among them, and as he saw the anguish of the pe: it flashed across his mind how many of his happy and content- ed neighbors would be made miserable by a mad dog, and he formed a resolution. the like of which is scarcely to be found in the history of the human race for high-minded- ness and nobleness. Certainly his brown cheek paled a little, but his eyes sparkled with divine fire, and an elevated resolution shone from the smooth brow of the siwple- minded man “Back all!’’ thundered he with his deep strong voice. ‘‘ Let no one stir, for no one can vanquish the beast but I. One victim must full in order to save all, and I will be that victim, I will hold the brute, and whilst I do so, make your escape ’’ The smith had scarcely spoken these words, when the dog started to- wards the shrieking people. But he went not far. ‘‘ With God’s help !’’ cried the smith, and he rushed upon the foaming beast, seized him with an iron grasp, and dashed him to the door. Ob, what a terrible struggie followed! The dog bit furiously upon every side in a mest frightful manner. is long teeth tore the arms and thighs of the heroic smith, but he would not let him loose. Kegardless alike of (he excessive pain and the horrible death which must ensue, he held down with an iron grasp the snapping, biting, howling brute un- til all bad escaped !—till all, all were rescued and in safety. He then flung the half strangled beast from him against the wall,,and dripping with blood and venomous foam, he left the room, locking the door after him. Some per- sons shot the dog through the windows But oh! merciful God, what will become of the brave, unfortunate smith ? Weeping and lamenting, the people sur- round him, who had saved their lives at the expense of hie own ‘‘ Be quiet, my friends, do not weep for me,’ he said, ‘‘one must die in order to save the others. Do not thank me, for I have only performed my duty. When I am dead think of me with love, and now pray for me that God will not let me suffer long or too much. I will take care that no farther mischief shall occur through me, for I must certainly become mad. He weot straight to his workshop, and selected a strong chain, the heaviest and firmest from his whole stock. He then, with his own hands, welded it upon his own limbs and around the anvil eo firmly that no power on earth could break it. ‘‘ There,’ said he, ‘its done,” after silently and sol emnly completing the work. “Now you are secure, and inoffensive, so long as [ live, bring me my food. The rest I leave to God; into his hands [commend my spirit.’’ Nothing could save the brave smith, neither tears, la- mentations and prayers. Madness seized him, and after nine days he died—but truly, he died only to awake to a more beautiful and glorious life at the right hand of God. He died, but bis memory wiil live from genera tion to generation, and will be venerated to the end of time Search history through, and you will find no action more glorious and sublime than the deed of this simple minded man, the smith ef Ragenbach. It is easy for noble winds to die like Winkelreid or Martius Curtius, the high- spirited Roman youth—but to go to the sacii- fice with the certainty of death, and moreu being obliged to wait a death so awful, during long, fearful hours and days—that is to die not once but a thousand times. And such a death was that of the smith of Ragenbach Such a sacrifice the smith of Ragenbach made in order to save his neighbors. May the mem- ory ever be sacred —Practical Christian _ Bayfield, Wisconsin As this a seems to be attract- ing the attention of capitalists, we copy the following extract from a yecent articie in the Pioneer and ‘Democra published at S* Paul, Minnesota Territory, which appears to have been the impression made upon the edi- tor of that paper froma recent trip made along the shores of Lake Superior and the country back of it: “On the main land, opposite La Pointi, is located the town of Bayfield. named after a British naval officer who made the first com plete survey of Lake Superior This point was platted as a town iu May or June, of the present year, and has grown with amazing rapidity since. When we were there, from twenty to twenty-five buildings of a good siass were erected, while others were in process of building. Bayfield bids fair to become a very prominent commercial point. It isthe east ern terminus of the proposed railroad to run from the interior of Wisconsin to the lake, by the way of the St. Croix valley, for the con- struction of which a» heavy grant was made by Congress at its last session. Its original proprietor was the Hon H M Rice, who bas since associated with him several gentlemen of wealth and energy. During the summer a wagen road has been made from Bayfield, connecting with the roads threading the St. Croix valley, and furnishing the only wagon road now open from St. Paul to Lake Supe- rior. Among the important improvements now in progress, is a steam saw-mill, which is now in operation, when completed, will cost from fifteen twenty thousand dollars, and and which will prove of great advantage to that point and the adjoining sestion, inasmuch as the greater part of the lumber used during the present season has been brought there from Detroit. A hotel is also under contract to be built this fall, ata cost of eight thou- sand dollars. The natural advantages of Bay- field, which are great, it will thus = seen, are being developed in the most rapid any substantial manner, by its energetic propr’.e- tors.

The duty which has been im- posed upon us is a painful one, and we deeply Tegret the necessity that has made our present mission to you; but, having been delegated with power to call upon you and make known the wishes of our fellow citizens, we place this document in your possession, as we have been instracted ’” The petition was in the following words To the Hon P.T.

Addi A Commercial Experiment. (From the Europear Times, September 27.) A great and original experiment has been successfully realized during the last few days, which caunot fail to have a considerabie in- fluence in the expansion of the trade between Great Britain and the Far West of America— an experiment, we do not hesitate to say, only inferior to the introduction of steam as a con- necting link between Europe and the New World. This experiment will save hereafter the transhipment of grain grown in the im- mense districts abutting on the great Ameri- can lakes, by which there will be not only a large saving of expense, but, what is hardly of less importance, the article will be brought to the British market in a much higher state of perfection than it has hitherto been he Dean Richmond, a rakish schooner, of 380 tons register, is now in the Liverpool docks: her length is 145 feet, beam 26 feet, depth of hold 12 feet. She draws nine and a half feet ot water. This clipper schooner has just com- pleted a most successful voyage across the At- lantic, bringing direct from the port of Chica- g°, on Lake Michigan, in the State of Litin without breaking bulk, 400 tons of grait which she has delivered from the ship s si exacily ## sbe received it. A direct voyage like ‘his, which saves transhipment at Buffalo or New York, must, it is clear, pour into Eag } land the produce of the northwestern State: of the Union by way of the St Lawrence at a price which cannot fail to add to the trade and wealth of both countries The rapid rise of Chicago, the port of de- parture ofthe Dean Richmond, isa significant prof of the teeming agricultaral resources of that portion of the United States. [n 1832 it contained only 250 inhabitants; it now con- taing 104000. The shipments of grain from this place last year aloue amounted to two millions and a fourgh of quarters—the largest which has ever been despatched from a single port in any part of the world; while the ex- ports of pork were 77,000 barrels, and of beef 56,000 barrels The canal will not at present admit the passage of larger vessels, but even as regards this feature the future is hopefal for a moderate expenditure of capital would admit vessels of three times the tonnage of the Dean Richmond, and with the induce ments thus offered there cannot be a doubt that the improvement will be made. In point of time and cheapness this new route, thus brought into play, will compete very successfully with the New York or the Black Sea routes, by both of which large quan- tities of grain and flour reach this couatry. ‘The Dean Richmond, we are informed by her owner, has made the entire passage in sixty days, which includes 2,500 miles of inland waters; but she had a detention of twelve days in the St. Lawrence, which is not likely to occur again. The canal and ship dues are most moderate ; while there are no port, light or pilotage dues on the inland seas of America he number of hands through which the goods pase in the interior transit to New York, tor transhipment across the Atlantic, adds largely to the cast of freigot and commission, and to the manifest deterioration of the goo —items of expenditure which will be avcided by the direct eourse which the Dean Bichmond has traversed The great commercial resalts woich cannot fail to flow from this novel ex- periment have made the Dean Richmond an object of coonsiderable intercet in the ped of Live 1; bat the time is not distent when his novelty will cease ; for the class of vessels pert "cil? rush into the trade ere exactly those which can be cheaply and readily eap- plied.
