its careless parents went next door to do
some shopping. During their absence some
thing frightened The team, and away thew
went down the street like guile or wind
Just as they passed Herkimer street, a young
lady saw The danger, and in an instant pre-
pared to rescue the little fellow. Throwing
her hat and shawl on The sidewalk, she made
a spring for The tail Of the wagon, Just as i
was darling by her. and, az good luck would
have it, caught it firmly; the momentum Of
the wagon jerking her inside of The box
She Immediately clasped the child in her
arms, and, seizing favorable moment,
sprang to the ground, without injury either
to herself or to the little founding. Such q
heroine deserves celebrity.

THE LARGEST DIsrILLERY IN THR UNITED
STATES. At New Richmond, on the Ohio
river, about twenty miles above Cincinnati,
is the largest distillery in the United States
There are two distilleries in the town. At the
larger there are made l25 barrels of whiskey
per day at the other so. In the larger distiI-
lery there are about 5000 hogs in the other
1000. These hogs are changed three times a
year, which makes $1,000 from one, and 81 900
from the other, or $4,000 hogs from New
Richmond annually. In the last two years
about $4,000 hogs have died at the two distil-
leries. Last year $50 barrels Of lard oere made
from hogs that died III the pens. Ugh if that
isn't enough to make man forever eschew
pork and become Jew. Well do it right
away. In the larger distillery, there are now
100, 900 bushels Of grain. The trade between
Cincinnati and New Richmond supports a
steamer which makes daily trips. At the two
distilleries are ground every day about 100
barrels of floor.

Consul TO VENIcE-The Home Journal says
Of the recent appointment of TX Marvel as U.
s. Consul at Venice
ln the appointment ofIk Marvel to the We
netlan Consulship, the administration has hit
10 hair. Tx Marvel has the nature and the
bearing of gentleman aud he excels in
those accomplishments and 'knowIedges'
which render man welcome in cultivated
society. And besides this, he is engaged in
studying the history of the Venetian repub-
llc with view to the production of an his
torlcal work. His residence amidst the
scenes which he will have TO describe will,
oil course, be an immense advantage TO him;
while his official character will be likely 10
give him access 10 ancient records and state
documents of great importance. The result
Will probably DO, the production of history
OF Venice, that will enrich the literature of
The country. We are only sorry that the of
fice is NOT one of emolument. But man
whose works go off at the rate Of twenty
thousand volumes year, can, perhaps. man.
