A Noble. Bow.

We mentioned few days since the
burning offhe Tunnel Bridge on the Bal
timore and 9Susquelannas Railroad, about
five miles south of York, anu since learn
that the conflagration came very near being
followed by one of the most terrible disas.
tcrs that has lately occurred in rail road
travel. 1t is supposed that tie bridge took
fire from the freight trains, which passed
about halfpast seven o'clo ok in the morn
ing, and the structure was totally cnvclopeH
in flames beforeft was discovered by the
residents in the vicinity. At about nine
o'clock, the frame work of the bridge fell
through, and among the spectators, some
twenty in number, WAS a little boy abou;
twelve years Of age, name Eli Rheenn, who,
remembering that the c:.:' passenger
train was then about ri q. star
ted off at the top ce. ka,,ss.
to stop the train .',..cl lie knew sMe
close ut hand ~ IS soon MS he ,encfieds ~
curve, aboSxtwo hundred yards from, the
bridge, ne observed the train coming. ~ at
f." speed, and fearing that lie would be
unable to stop them unless by the use of
extraordinary means, the noble little fellow
took his position on the track, and running
towards the approaching train with his
hands raised, caught the attention of the
engineer. who Immediately reversed his en-
gine, and stopped within four hundred
yards of impending destruction, the piers
being some twenty feet from the rocky
bed below, and the gap some sixty feet
wide.
Had the boy not placed himself on the
track, lie would doubtless have failed in
his noble effort, as the engineers are SO Of
ten cheated by misclnevous boys on the
route, that they seldom. pay attention to
them. Even when he stopped he thought
that he had been cheated by youngster
with more daring than his associates, and
was surprised to see the little flaxen. headed
fellow stand his ground, and endeavorine
to recover his lost breath to answer his ques-
ton as to the cause. Of his interruption
We learn that the passengers, when they
ascertained the cause of the stoppage Of
the train, and viewed the precipiece over
which they were near being dashed, liber-
ally rewarded the bay for his presence of
mind and dearing, and that the Board of
Directors at their meeting yesterday app,o-
priated 800 as an additional reconpense.
Eli Rheem, aay but twelve years OF age,
was the only one of twenty persons present,
most Of them men, who had forethought

A Compliment to Mr.. Calhoun.

We find in the correspondence of the
Charleston Standard, the following strik-

Statesman. Coming from the direction it
does too, it is peculiarly pleasing to his
friends at the South, and is another of the
gradually developed, but sure rewards of ge.

Paltry Shaues.-Ille workiugmen of the
country, and the city more particularly, are
subject to multitude of paltry shaves, by
which their earnings arc docked and their
comforts abridged to no inconsiLerable ex-
tent. A dollar is, or ought to be, one hun
dred cents, but we defy the man who takes
his silver dollar or its representative to mar
ket or the grocery store to get more than
ninety-six cents for it. One Of the twenty
five cents in the quarter vanishes down
into fractions that utterly delude the power
to convert the coin into sugar, butter coffee
or tea. On one dollar it may be trifling
matter, but on the weeks wages of ten It
amounts to the rather important sum Of
forty cents, and in the course of the years
transactions, ten, twenty or thirty dollars
have been sponged out of the rigI,tful own
er's pockets into some other PERSONS bank
account. 1t is the duty of Congress to, give
US coinage that will not admit Of fractions
of the smallest unit of currency. Those
little jokers, the Spanish shilling ard six
pence, go back and forth in their capacity
as thieves of four per cent on the poor
mans dollar, until they are worn as thin as
9 .faisers visage, and pass their weekly orbit
OF petty larceny with uncrring regularity.
