=e A Child Rescued from a Horrible Death. one corner of She proceeded thither, and, after wait- ing afew mcments, heard the cry repeated. Having no means at hand to rescue ae =pr:ng from the terrrible position in w was p she ran across the street to the residence of Mrs. Riley, the other of the child, gave the alarm, and was immediate- ly followed to the scene of the terrible accident Dy Mre. Riley and two or three others. The seat of the privy was torn away, and a lane tern let down. The scene presented to the mother most have been fearful. Floating in the filth, with its head resting on @ narrow strip of scan , Iny the child, almost completely cov- ered the mire and apparently in the last of death. What to be done was now the question asked by all. A ladder was pro- cured, but as the vault is some forty-five feet in depth, no footing could be found for it. A man, the only one present, offered to tie a rope arcund hunself and go down, but as he weighed over 200 pounds he was afraid tha: the women present would not have sufficient strength to cll him up again, and therefore backed out. nm the meantime the cries of the child grew weaker and weaker, and there was not a mement to be lost. A boy was sent for, but was afraid to descend. Finally, Mrs. Riley, who is over sixty years of age, selzed the rope, quickly adjusted it about her person, and throwing one end of it to the persons standing bear, plunged into the vault, rescued the child, and was speedily drawn up to the floor of the privy. A pbysician was sen: for, and he speedily res‘ored the Jitile suiferer to con- sciousness, and gives it as his opinion that it will hve. Mrs. Riley. however, who by her heroic conduct rescued the child from a fearful Geath, is lying in a very dangerous condition, Baving severely injured her spine and breast by the plunge which she made. Such courage ©o tbe part of an old lady, nearly sixty-five years of age, is deserving of more than ordi- mary cemmendation.—Cincinnati Gazette. ——— An Unearthly Story. A very weird story is current in the hill conn- try of Staffordshire. We bave been unable to verify the narative with anything like precis- jon, and content ourselves with relating it as near as possible as it was told to us by a cler- gyman. One day last week a carrier, with his borse and cart, was taking his accnstomed jour- ney between Buxton and Macciesfield. After he bad gone some distance he was accosted by 2@ wayfaring man, who was plodding along the road, who asked for a lift. The carrier took the man up and then proceeded onwards. Af- ter &@ while the carrier complained that his hands were cold, and asked his companion to arive for him fora time. The man consented, and took hold of the reins. Before they had gone much further, a stranger on horseback— the horse, by the way, was a white one—over- took them, and rode by the side of the cart. A conversation was commenced, which yery goon soon tock the direction of the cattle plague. Its devastating effects were discussed, and a Parallel was drawn between it and other calam- ities, past and future. The stranger on horse- back suddenlyfpecame prophetic, saying that next yearthere would bea plague or blight among the corn, which would destroy the fruits of the earth, which would be foliowed the next year by @ plague among mankind. “Christians,” be said, -‘wouid be dead on the roadside by hundreds,”—“*yes,” he added, low- ering his voice, and addressing the holder of the reins, “dead as the man who is sitting by your side!” The driver turned, and to his hor- rer found that he was sitting by the side of a corpse. The stranger on horseback galloped away, and the temporary driver of the cart was leit to pursue his journey with his melan- choly burden.— Staffordshire Sentinel. A Bary Lost.—An amusing scene occurred on the cars between Schenectady and Utica Inst Friday. A gentleman and his wife took ——— m the curs at Schenectady tor the est, and came away without their infant child, which had been left in the depot at Schenectady, each supposing the ether had “took the baby.” They were not long in dis- covering that they had “eft something,” and getting off at St. Johnsbury, telegraphed back jer the missing responsibility, which was brought tothem by a blushing conductor on tbe next train. eae INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS OF CoLORADO.—The section in which lumber is found in Colorado bas twenty-five saw mills, and ten flour mills bave been setup within the past few years. ‘The quartz mills in the States are counted at over one hundred and fifty. costing $40,100,000. They should average. if all were running on Medium ores, not less than $27,000,000 per year. Wages rule at five dollars per day. In addi- tion a resident of Golden City is soon to erecta biast furmace and roliing mill at that poirt. Look nerone Yo. Lear.—On Wednesday last an old lady named Catharine Johnson, jJemped out of a third story window of a house in Philadelphia. Two Germans inhabited the Jower story, and were talking in their own di- alect. The old lady imagined that she heard the word poison, and with the recollection of the Deering murder fresh m her mind, took the desperate leap. She fortunately landed on anawning below without sustaining any se- rious injury, and was rescued by the police. Curcaco a Better Home For CHOLERA THAN New York.—The Chicago Tribune re- marks :—“ We have made a careful computa- tion, and find that eaeb city scavenger has only thirty miles of street on an average to at- tend to; and admitting that not another particle of filth be deposited, the united efforts of our mumerous scavengers would clear up every particle of dirt in about six years, and make ours 2 clean city.” 7 Jobn Randolph is said upon one occasion to have visited a race course near the city of New York. A flash-looking stranger offered to bet Bim five hundred dollars upon the result of the race, and, introducing his companion, said:—+: Mr. Randolph, my friend here, Squire Tompkins, will hold he stakes.” + But, sir,” Squeaked the orator of Roanoke, «who will bold Squire Tompkins after I give him the money !” A Parnrct Case oF Ixsanity.—A man from Milford, Mass., named Parrish, while working at Harttord, Conn., recently fell in dove witha girl, and became insane because her parents would not jet him solicit her hand. He went to Milford, nearly killed his father and mother, and fied tothe woods. The in- habitants turned out and hunted him down, and he is now in the Retreat at Hartford. S7 it is reported that ex-Senator Gwinn lately had a narrow escape from death. While ‘writing in bis room, at one of the New Orleans forts, a leaf of bis manuscript fiew off, and Dr. Gwinn started for it upon the run, forgetting the sentinel upon duty. The negro drew his musket ae him and pulled the trigger, but Ttunately the cap failed to explode. Had it gone off, that would have been the end of the ex-Senator. QUEER SIGHT.—Passimg by « hotel in this city, evening before last, we were surprised, amueed, frecinated, shocked, &c., by seeing a lady traveller, just arrived and gomg through, standing Om the steps of the pmblic entrance, ber foot by ved a block anda diminutive freed. man polishing away at her balmoral gaiters, Tem pores mutanutr. and —the devil run away with them.— Petersburg Indez. <a ee IMMIGRATING TO SouTHWEST MissovRi.— The Springtield (Missouri) Patriot saysaiarge immigration has been passing throngh that place for some time past, br mag rincipally of persons whom the rebellion drove from the country to seek safety elsewhere.
