 4 Courageous Boy.-A few afternoons since, a
 little fellow by the name of Wheeler fell asleep n- der his bench in the Assistants room of one of the
 Primary Schools of this city. and not being noticed was locked in. He was only four or five years old and when his mother found he did not come home as evening set in, she was much distressed. Every place, but the right one, was ransacked. The painful conclusion was come to at midnight that he had fallen into the water somewhere and was drow- ned. In the meantime the little fellow, Gas he told the story to his playmates,) after several hours sound sleep, awoke. It was a moonlight night ,and he arose, went into the Principals room. and pret- ty soon found he could not get out. He had spell of crying, laid down in the entry, and slept till morning. Before he took his second nap, he says he saw rats running about in the school room; and rumaging in the entry he picked up some things and threw at them. In the morning, when he aronsed his appetite no doubt being pretty keen, he made considerable noise. which at last attracted the att ne@ -ha vHro Al n. took him out.

 Amother Of Jasaes K Polk's Toies--It is mat ter of history that James Monroe sacrificed large amount of property to carry on the War. This pat riotism thus displayed elevated him to the Presi- dency and when, in his old age, and in extreme debts long due him, James K. Polk voted against his petition. For the proof see Congressional De- bates. May 12th, 1926. volume 2, page 2631, and January 31st, 1881, volume !. page 546, and 614. It is unnecessary to comment on these votes. The people will see the feeling that prompted them.
 JMeD4menis from sse Rigas Qumser-The Pitts burg Gazette contains an address by 13 leading abo- liionists of that city, to the ant-slavery men and Liberty party of Alleghany county. recommending the support of Mir. Clay at the next election. They say Mir Birney's election is hopeies at this time, and that either Mr. Clay or Mir. Polk will nevita- ply be elected. They then review the positions of both these gentlemen. as defined by themselves, on the tarim and Texas questions, and as Mr Clay agrees with them on these vital points, they fell it to be their duty to vote for him in order to prevent the election of Polk, and the consequent repeal of the tariff and the annexation of Texas.
