New phra.e Of Rascality.-some "a

New Phrase of Rascality.-Some facts Of re-
cent occurrence have come 10 our knowledge,
which fully justify their caption. They are briefly
these: While bright, active boy, aged about
twelve thirteen years, SON of Mrs. Waing, a
worthy widow lady, residing at No. ST West
Thirteenth street, was putting in some coal, a
quite genteelly dressed, farmer-lookng, man step
ped up and inquired il he would like TO live in
the country at q good home, and at good wages;
The little fellows eyes sparkled with unwonted
brightness at the idea. He thankfully conducted
the benevolent applicant, as he regarded him. to
his mother and referred the matter 10 her. The
stranger represented 10 the mother that he was a
professional gardener, in the employ of Mr.. Lock
wood, near Mount Vernon village, Westminster
county, and after eulogy upon the child and the
glowing account Of the advantages of the stuation
he proposed 10 pay unusually large wages for a
hand young. Her maternal heart assented,
after brief struggle, and the boy was got ready,
and dispatched with nine shillings to pay his rail
road fare.
RI Hugh Locklin, lodger at the same place, get
ting wind of the arrangement, concluded TO follow
the party to the railroad station TO see if all was
right. On arriving there he saw them enter the
cars. All things seeming right, he took leave,
quite satisfied with the arrangement. Just as he
stepped from the platform, some ladies' asked him
If he knew that man, and followed with the state
ment that he was kidnapper, who was known to
engage children in this way, and pocketing what
money furnished, to slip off at the first sta
ton, and leave them 10 get home as best they
could-that they had known him to obtain as
much as Eve dollars at time in this fraudulent
and cruel mode, &c. The cars were of. There
was no time for parley. He started after them at
the top of his speed, shouting, Stop thief! stop
thief" After chasing about halfa mile, he finally
got the ear Of the conductor, who, influenced by
his terrible energy Of voice and limb, stopped the
train. Coming up promptly, Mr.. Locklin boarded
the cars, and seizing the scoundrel by the throat
he first made him disgorge the money flched from
the wronged widow, and then pitched him from
the platform, whence he ran and hid himself The
child was soon restored to the Of its too con-
fding mother, whose surprise followed by joy may
readily be imagined. Let other parents look out
orthe perperator ofths latest novelty in the line of
viliany, lest it may fare with their children
for lack of some watchfnl Locklin 10 take the law
into his own hands-N y Tribune.

Brutal Railroad Affairs.--Shoaf's Gazette,

the following account of bloody riot on the rail-
road near that place last week

tolls. clubs, rocks, gun-barrels, &c. Some ten or

they had succeeded in whipping the males, they
fell upon Mrs. S., dragged her from her bed and
swore they would kill her if she gave an alarm
She, however, we are happy TO say, escaped with
out serious injury.
"The heartless demons also inflicted several
wounds upon one or two children. The cry was
among the assassins, 'kill them! kill them They
no doubt with the determination TO kill all, or as
many as possible. One of the injured party came
to town in his night Observation-Disclosures IL
O'Clock, on the night of the fracas; his head was
severely cut; another one with his ear and part Of
his face shot off, Several were also brought 10

"The Dutch did not expect an attack, or they
would have been prepared 10 receive the enemy
They numbered about thirty-fve.
"A posse Of thirty men, on Monday evening last,
headed by our sheriff VIM. Wheeler, departed
from our city in search Of the perpetrators of this
foul deed, and we are happy TO state they sue

Suicides In Brooklyn.
Prom the Brooklyn EAGLE, 18th inst.


SUICIDE OF A YoUNe LADY.-About ten o'clock
last night, young lady, apparently about seven
teen years of age and very good looking started
for New York on one of the boats ofthe Hamilton
avenue ferry, and when about the middle of the
river tied her mantila 10 the railing and deiber-
ately jumped overheard. Her movements had
been observed by some of the passengers who,
however, had no suspicion Of her design The life
boat was Immediately lowered and every possible
exertion made to rescue her, but without effect.
She sank to rise no more. Her name was not as
cerained, as no one on board appeared to know
her.
ANOTHER SUIcIDE-A German named Neihbor,
committed suicide on Tuesday evening at his
boarding house on the corner of Hicks and Wye
koff' streets, by taking dose Of laudanum which
he had short time before purchased at drug
store in the vicinity. When discovered, he was
lying on the bed in his room in the agonies OF
death. Two physicians were called in TO relieve
him, but in vain, and he breathed his last soon
after The vial, emptied of its contents, was
found upon his table, and letter, which he had
written short time previous, was found in one of
his pockets. The letter states that he had no de-
sire TO live longer having grown tired ofthe world
that his brother had killed himselfin like man
ner about two years since, and he wished to fol-
low him. He also desired that the manner of his
death should not be made known TO his relatives
He had been employed as a clerk in dry goods
store in New York, and his age was about IS. He
leaves no family.
STILL ANoTHER.-Suicde seems to be becoming
an epidemic. In addition to the two cases above
recorded, we are called upon to chronicle still
another which occurred day or two ago. We
learn that about the early part Of the week, Mr..
George G. Large, the day foreman in the Office of
the Journal of Commerce. who resided in Fulton
avenue, near the Fulton Market in this city, went
on cunning expedition TO the Schooley noun
tains, accompanied by gentleman named Par
ker. Since the return of the latter, it is stated
that Mr.. Large committed suicide during their
trip, by cutting his throat with razor. He was
a married man, and leaves wife and two chill
dren. 1t is said he had been subject to fits of
melancholy, which probably led to that state of
mind which resulted in suicide.
