A Heroic LAD.-The st. Louis Organ relates
the following incident, which occurred on board
the Inflated steamboat Shepherdess: Among the
passengers was lad about Ia years of age, named
Casely or Casey, from Shelby county, KY. When
the boat began to sink, his first move ment was to
drag younger boy, who was asleep, from state
room, and carry him on the upper deck, while the
cabin was fast filling with water. On the upper
deck he saw two infants, which in the alarm and
confusion had been left almost naked and without
protector. The young hero caught them up,
stripped himself of most of his clothing, which he
wrapped around them, and took one under each
arm, and commenced breathing upon their faces,
alternately from one to the other. He staid upon
the wreck with other of the passengers until taken
off by one of the boats from this city, with his in
fants still under his arms, alive and well, and he
still engaged in frequently breathing upon their
faces. Those children should be taught to lsp
their deliverer's name among their earliest
words"
Let us know the proper name of the adev-
erer," and we'll help to find place for him, (if
not niche in the temple of Fame,) in the affec
ton of every mother, and in the heart of eyerv
friend of humanity
