EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE IN LAD.--
A lad in Hanm, Pa, named George Peters,
son of D. L. Peters, was furiously attacked
the other day by hir fathers bull, and would
inevitably have been killed but for his sur
prisirg presence ofmind. Seeing no chance
of escape, he lodged the assault of the fu-
rious animal, and leaped upon his back
The bull, thereupcn, ran off in canter,
kicking and rearing fcarfully; but the little
fellow, no way Disconnected, clung to the
animals back, until favorable opportunity
offering, he jumped off and leaped fence
hard by. This latter feat was witnessed by
his mother, who was attracted to the spot
by his cries. He is only twelve years old.

A Vino SPEAKER. triumph Of the
Wings in their late struggles to obtain a
majority in the next House of Representa-
tives will be complete if they shall succeed
in clecting their Speaker. Elections have
already been held for s32 members out oi
the Gag. Elections are yet to be held
for eiGht members in Maryland, and two In
Mississippi, and some three or four vacan-
cies occasisned by death and resignation.
Allowing these vacancies TO be flled by
members of the same politics with the pre-
vious incumbents, and classifying the mem
bers already elected as thcy hofd their certt-
Gates, we hive the following result: Wings
100, Loco Focos ll2.
The holding ola certificate is pri'na ldcie
evidence of a right to seal, and entities
member to vote for Speaker. II, howeV-
er the House should decide that the five
contested seats in New Jorsy should be held
in aheyance, and none of their claims ARE
settled, the esq members would be divided
as follows: Wings l15, Loco Focos ll2,
contested 5. Allowing the Maryland mem
bers to stand as they did last year, five
Wings and three Loco Focos, and yielding
to the Globe its shadowy and probably un-
founded claim to the Two members In MIS-.
sissippi, the whole House would be divided
as follows ON the vote for Speaker: Wings
100, Locos III, contested 5.
If the New Jersey members should be al
lowed to vote, holding as they do the legrl
evidence of their election, the House would
stand Wings 1875, Loco Focos II.
In either event, the wings have it in their
power to elect their Speaker. To ensure
this esery Whig member Of Congress should
consider ahis imPer'tive duty to be M The eng
Of Washington on Mefra day efDeccm,6er.
The press throughout the Union should re-
peat the necessity of this. THE absence Of
hice Whigs uould render the contest doubt
Jri. Let no one, therefore, who cntertains
the idea ofbeing day behind hand, take it
for granted that he will be the only a5sen-
tee. Let every Wig Member feel that his
vote will decide the contest, and all viii! be
well. The representatives of the people
viii elect an untrammclcd and unpledged
Speaker, and freedom of opinion vii! tn

FINN-IANA 1T is no doubt well remem-
bered by many of our readers, that our old
friend Finn, of theatrical memory, under
took to walk, for a wager, 1000 miles so
many consecutive hours, and that he accom-
plshed the herculean task on the beach at
Newport, in 1908. Finn is rUsher al
walking as well as at playing, and 1t will
astonish many to know that when he per-
formed this feat oflocomotion he was sixty
eight years old.
"Wby, Finn" said friend, after he had
walked the last mile, "ifyou can travel Mt
this rate at your present time of life, what
could you have done when a youngster"
"Sir," replied Finn, 81 was a tolerable
walkerwhen | was young 'un,but now, you
see, I'm Fnn-ished one"
The task gave the old boy some little ia
tigue, we should Judge; for the Post says
he fell back into the arms of his supporters,
and was Immediately enveloped in hot blan-
kets. .'--Picaylne.

As an evidence of the extreme scarcity
of money in New York, we notice the sale
of the stock of the North American Bank
ing and Trust Company which recently
made dividend. of 8 per cent, at 524, and
U. s. Bank at 1919. Other stocks are
sold in proportion. Money matters are
equally hard In Philadelphia. In conversa
tion with some gentlemen from those cities
recently, they represent the money market
as extremely tight, and the difficulty of ne
gociating securities, on short time, say
go or 80 days, and even less, as very
great. We have been anticipating easier
times for upwards oftwo years, but the pro-
spcct now appears as gloomy as ever. The
precious metals now take the place Estate
stocks for remittances in consequence ofthe
impossibility ofnegotating the latter abroad,
and unless the foreign demand of our great
staple, Cotton, when the new crop comes
in market, is much greater than present ap-

suit of the present state of things than an
other general suspension. Exchange is
rising, from the fact we have nothing to
draw upon abroad, and as long as exchon-
ge sustains it's present rates, specie must
60 abroad for remttances.
TIE present state of the money market
will undoubtedly cause general suspension
Of state works, particularly in the western
states, and with it we must expect genera
decline Of business; SO that to the enquiry
Of what newsl We must make the stale
reply Of dull times, with the additional, of
prospect of Increased dull times.
We will hope, however, that the hghtmay
dawn upon us soon, and those of us who
have long been looking for promised things,
may not only have distant view Of, but
full enjoyment ofthem. II

The FAmrLy.--If there are apv lows on

The FAmILY.--lf there are any joys on
earth which harmonize with those Of IIeav-
en-, they are the joys of a Christian family.
When the snow fakes fall fast in winters $
evening, and the moaning winds struggle at
tue windows, what is so delightful as to see
the happy little ones sporting around a
blazing fire. Look at the little creature in
her night dress, frocking and laughing as
though she never had known, and rever
would know, care. Now she rolls upon
the carpet and now she climbs the chair, and
now she pursues her older sister around the
room, while her little heart is overhowing
full of happiness. Who does not ccvet the
pleasurable emotions with which the pa
rents look upon the scene-and what sacri-
fees can be more acceptable 10 our Heayen-
ly Father, than the incense of prayer and
praise which ascenGs daily from our family
altar.

Oft, and the person robbed beckoned a COM
panion, related the circumstances, and fol-
lowed the thief who had pushed his way
into another part of the crowd, and very
quietly and quite dexterously, for anovice,
drew his own handkerchief from Its new
quarters: in doing so, the end ofanother
handkerchief made its appearance; the temp,
tation was too strong to be resisted, and
that with its contents were also transfer
