OUTRAGEOUS CASE OF KIDNAPPING

OUTRAGEOUS CASE OF KlDNApPING.-
The Boston Bee gives the following partic-
ulars of bold aud outrageous case Of kid
mapping at Steep Falls, Standish, Me-.
As the son of DR.. j. Il. Weeks, bright.
handsome little boy, four years old, was 60
ing TO school, horse and chaise passed
where were several children, and two wo-
men got out and seized DIR. Weeks boy,
and taking him into theEchaise, drove Off
Dr. w did not hear OF the circumstances
till near dark, when he went in pursuit of
the kidnappers.
1t appeared that the women drove to
Gorham fifteen miles, where they took the
cars 70 Portland. At Portland they took
the steamboat to Lawrence, and arrived in
Boston on Saturday morning, and took the
afternoon train for Springfield From
thence they proceeded to Dalton, in Bcrk-
sh r. county From this they travelled six
miles on foot, and in the night, the boy in
the meantime suffering extreme physical
agony. DR.. Weeks traced them, in compa-
ny with an officer, and found the kidnappers
with the kidnapped boy, in house two
miles from any neighbors, i'll a wild and
mountainous region, over the New York
lire.
The women refused to surrender the boy,
and resisted the officer most pertinaciously.
In fact they fought like despcradoes; and in
the encounter the officer was much injured.
and the clothes OF the women were nearly
torn from their bodies in the melee Yhey
were finally taken into custody. and convey
ed to the county Jail, where they will re-
main till a requistion is forwarded from the
Governor Of Maine to the Governor Of New
York. The kidnappers carried their charge
over 600 miles One of the women is about
fifty years old, and the other about twenty
five. The SIX miles they travelled on foot
was over a range of the Green Mountains
Their names are suppressed, at the request
OF Dr. Weeks. The mother of the child.
was nearly insane from her loss, but her
GRIEF has ere this been changed to jov.-
This is one of the boldest and most novel
eases of kidnapping that has occurred OF late
years.

The Little Girls Good Morning.
BY MARY IRVING.

"Oh am so happy!' the little girl said,
As she sprang like lark from the low trundle bed;
IT'S morning, bright morning! Good morning,papa!
Oh give me one kiss for good morning, mamma!
Only just look at my pretty canary
Chirpir his sweet good morning to Maryn
The sunshine is peeping straight into my eyes
Good morning to You, Mr.. Sun, for you rise
Early to wake up my bird and me-
And make as happy as happy can be-"
Happy you may be, my dear little girlo
And the mother stroked softly clustering curl
"Happy as can be-but think of the One
Who wakened. this morning, both you and the sum-
The little one turned her bright eyes with nod
Mamma may | say good morning to God?"
Yes little darling one surely you may
Kneel, as you kneel every morning to pray"
Mary knet solemnly down, with her eyes
Looking up earnestly into the skies,
And two little hands that were folded together
Softly she laid on the lap of her mother:
Good morning, dear Father in Heaven" she said.
II thank thee for watching my snug little bed,
For taking good care of me all the dark night,
And waking me up with the beautiful light,
Oh keep me from naughtiness all the long day.
Blest Jesus, who taught little children to pray"
An angel looked down III the sunshine and smiled;
But she saw not the angel-thdt beautiful child

THE FIRE AT MoNTR EAL.-The fire at
Montreal. which broke out on the Sth inst,
was attended with awful destruction. The
light was plainly visible for more than twen-
ty miles, and it is said that between three
ana four hundred houses have been DESTROY
ed Among these are included Cromwell's
Terrace, the Bishops Church and Palace,
the Market and Cattle Market, the Montre-
al Hospital, the Military Barracks, the the
atre, Barnegan's Hotel, Dalhousie Square,
and other public buildings and places 1t
is but two months since Montreal was visit
cd by fire which destroyed several hun
dred houses. Since writing the above, we
find the following despatch i'll the Charles
ton papers Pic.
Advices received via BOSTON state that
the tremendous conhagrations that has been
raging for three days at Montreal had been
subdued, not, however until fifteen hun
dred houses, and property to the amount of
many millions had been destroyed. The
fire extended its ravages over a space of
twenty acres.

The following is told III suclr candid
manner, it is impossible to doubt its truth:
This story is related of a lawyer who
has since attained eminence in his profess
SIGN. a ease in which he was engaged as
counsel for the defendant came up on a GER
tain day. As he was insufficiently prepar-
ed, he was very anxious to have the case
postponed for a few days, that he might
have farther time for this purpose Unfor-
tunately there was great press of business,
and he knew that this motion would be
oyerruied unless some extraordinary reason
was alleged. Under these circum stances,
he bethought himself Of an expedient-
Rising with his handkerchief to his face. he
addressed the judge in accents of great APP
parent emotion-'May it please your honor,
/ have just been informed that my mother
is al the point Of death Ny emotions are
too great for me to proceed in this case. l
move that it be postponed until day after to-
morrow. This request would Of course
have been granted by the court, whose SYM
pathes were strongly excited in his behalf
but at this moment, to the discontinue OF
the lawyer and the amusement of the audi
encc, the shrill voice of his mother was
heard issuing from the gallcry-'Ichabod !,
lchabod :. how often have | whipped you
for lying! The case wasn't postponed,
nor was 1t gained by the afflicted counsel"

MARRIED LIFE-Julius Moser gives the
following counsel, from wife and mother
II try to make myself and all around me
agreeable. 1t will not DO to leave a maj, to
himself till he comes to you; to take no pains
to attract him. or to appear before him with
a long face. It is not so difficult as YOU
think, dear child to behave to a husband SO
that he shall remain forever in some measure
"a husband. I am an old woman, but you
can still do what you like word from YOU
at the right time will not fail of its effect
What need you to play tie suffering virtue?
The tear Of loving girl, says an old book,
is like dew drop on the rose but that on
the cheek of a wife is drop of poison to
her husband. Try to appear cheerful and
contented, and when you have made him
happy, you viii become so, not in appear
ance, but in reality. The skill required is
rot 50 great. Nothing fiatters man so much
as the happiness OF his wife he is always
proud of himself as the source of it. As
soon as you are cheerful you will be lively
and alert, and every moment will afford you
an opportunity to let fall an agreeable word
Your education which gives you an immense
advantage, will greatly assist you; and your
sensibility will become the noblest gift that
nature has bestowed on you when it shows
itself in affectionate assiduity, and stamps
on every action soft kind, and tender char
acter, instead OF wasting itself in secret re-
pinings:

CHEEEFUL Musrc.-The poet Carpani
once asked his friend Haydn how it hap
pened that his church music was always of
an animating cheerful, and gay descrip-
tion. 70 tins Haydn's answer was, 81 can
not make it otherwise. write according
to the thoughts which | feel. When think
upon God, my heart is so full of JOY that
the notes dance and leap, as it were, from
my pen; and since God has given me a
cheerful heart, it will be easily forgiven
me that serve him with cheerful spir-
it. -

A son of Mr. Waite, of Cincinnati, as we
learn from the Gazette, was recently seized
with hydrophobia, but by judicious treat
ment he has entirely recovered, though a
running wound is intended to be kept up
where the lad was bitten, in order to pre-
vent the possibility of return of the symp-
toms. The vesicles which formed under
the tongue rapidly disappeared under the
administration Of Lachesis, a medicine pre-
pared from the virus of the lance headed
adder, which was given as an antidote to
the poison, and the spasms were prevented
by the use of beladonna and other RENE
dies.

YANKEE CUNNING.-It is said that the
new Liquor Law of Massachusetts provides
that the Marshal of the city Of Boston. and
his deputies shall serve the precepts of the
courts when issued against yiolators of the
law. As soon as the Legislature adjourned
the City Councils took legal advice, and
abolished the Office Of Marshal SO that there
are now no officers in that city competent
to serve process for an infracsion OF that

Mr. WEBsrEE's PosITIoN the
nomination of this gentleman by the Nativ-
lists, much anxiety has been generally evinc-
cd to know what would be his course in the
premises. it would appear from the follow
lowing remarks Of ex-Recorder Tallmadge
made at meeting Of the Ninth Ward Lun-
dy's Lane Club, New York, on the Slh
and which we find in the Commercial Nd
vertiser of the 9th, that Mr. Webster is not
disposed to permit his name to be used in
the manner referred to, and that he consid-
cred it his duty to support the nominees of
his party: Mr. Tsllmadge said
Gle had seen Mr. Webster during the
day, and had conversed with him freely up-
on the nomination and prospects of the
Whig party Mr. Webster in that eonver-
saticn acknowledged gratefully the attach
ment and devotion which his friends had en-
hibitcd, both in the national convention and
since the nomination had been made But
he said he did not see how any good result
could be attained by presenting his name
any further to the country: and that one com
mon duty now devolved upon us all,--iha;, ,
namely, of raliying to the support OF the
candidate regularly nominated by the repre-
sentatives of the Wings of the Union, in
convention assembled For his own part
he was ready to give the Wing ticket his cor
dial support so he trusted were
Wings everywhere, whatever might have
been their personal predictions.

GBowrH OF WIscoNsIN.-This thrifty
young State was first known (as Terrific
ry) to the United States in 1910, when it
had 10000 inhabitants; in 1850 they had
sweled to 00,000--a ten-fold increase in
ten years Now they do not fall short of
400, 900, and are increasing at the rate of
at least $4,000 per annum No other
State in the Union has grown with equal
rapidity.

The deacon cast one glance at the super
scription of the paper, he marched rever-
emily up the pulpit stairs and placed 1t In
the hands of the minister, with the same
whispered Injunction. Deliberately the old
man finished his sermon and prayer, then
glancing his eye over the paper, he laid its
contents before the people. 1t was pres
sing requisition from Washington for more
troops. se was daily expecting an attack
I from the combined forces of the enemy ana
each town was called upon to furnish what
aid it could. After a few apt and eloquent
remarks on the critical situation of the be-
loved chieftain, the worthy man continued
Let us not be too much cast down, my
brethren 0ur cause is that of truth and
Justice and righteousness; and strong in
these, we shall assuredly triumph, This
business is urgent, and trust it will not
be deemed derogatory to our Christian char
acter, nor an infringent upon the holy Sab
bath, if we take such measures as seem
pressing, to-day Therefore, all who are
wiling to take their lives in their hands
and stand beside the Commander-in-C Chief
in this hour OF trial, will, after the close Of
these services, please range themselves in Il
single file on the village common
Then, with hands clasped and eyes raised
towards Heaven, he took up the sublime in
vocation of David:
Keep not Thy silence, o God hold not
Thy peace, and be not still
For 10, mine enemies make tumult,
they that hate Thee have lifted up the
head
They have taken crafty council against
Thy hidden ones. They have said, Come
lei us cut them Off from being nation, that
the name OF Israel may be no more in re-
membrance.
Let them be confounded and troubled
forever; yea, let them be put to shame and
perish.
That men may know that Thou whose
name alone Is Jehovah art Most High over
all the earth
There was silence for the space of some
minutes, and then to the strains Of old Near
full, clear and distinct, from all parts OF
the house, rose the words of the following
hvmn
Washington telegraph., 1852-08-04
1''Attend We armies 70 The fight,
And be our guardian God:
In vain shall numerous foes unite,
'Gainst thy upliited rod.o
"Or troops, beneath Thy guiding hand
Shall gain great renown
lis God that makes the feeble stand,
And treads the mighty down.

The deep silence that followed the bene-
diction was broken by the low muttering OF
distant thunder, for the white capped thun-
der clouds OF the morning, were climbing
giant like up the western sky. Contrary
to their usual custom, the people waited in
deep silence, until their pastor had descen-
ded from the pulpit and passed down the
aisle then the aged deacon moved forward
followed by the congregation in due order
AS they issued from the wide doorway, the
whole male portion, as if moved by one i'm
pulse, took their way to the village common
Thoughtfuly and silently, to the roll call of
the booming thunder, they took their places
side by side, and the old minister saw before
him the available strength of the village
each man capable of bearing a musket, from
the gray haired veteran to the boy of six
teen. Grouped around him was 4 small
band, to whom age and debility had left no
available weapons, save faith and prayer
One other group must not be forgotten
the mothers, wives, sister and daughters
OF those men upon the common, who re-
manned clustered around the meeting house
door, Watching with breathess interest the

anxiety, hope and faith, then lit up their
excited features, but | trow there was little
cowardice there
The. old minister's heart glowed within
him at the sight of the rcsolute, determined
looking faces before him, as they proceeded
to the choice Of officers. The subordinate
Offices could readily be filled, but who should
lonc.o,, III l. L.
their captain
Who so worthy to do this as be who had
stood by them in all times of trial and sor-
row, lie who had already aided them to
fight the good fight of faith, their spiritual
teacher and friend, whose moral and physi-
cal courage was undoubted and with
one accord, they named the Rev. Samuel
Els
The man was much moved by this new
proof of their esteem and confidence. 1t
was the highest honor in their gift, and he
fully appreciated the compliment and the
responsibility. He had too much of the old
Puritan spirit to decline. his heart was in
the cause, and in a few short but broken
words, he sgniied his willingness to- stand
by them in life and death Then beckon-
ing the females to advance he bowed his
head, and, like true Cromwellian, called
down the blessing of heaven on them and
on their cause.
This was the first Company raised in our
village; such was the spirit with which our
fathers responded to the acquisitions of
Washington, and in justification of the wis
dom of their choice, let us add, that
Like soldier of the Lord,
With his Bible and his sword,p
the old pastor led them safely through man
fold dangers, until they joined the main
army in New York.
