A gentleman employed in one Of the telegraph

THREE CHILDREN DRowNED.-A woman by the
name of Mrs. Banty, and five small children,
attempted to cross Kickapoo Creek in wagon,
at shallow ford four miles from Atlanta, ILL.,,
on the 18th May. The current carried the
horses and wagon down the stream into deep
water, the wagon bed turned over, and threw
them all into the water. The mother caught
the two youngest children under one arm, ana
with the other hand she caught the end of a
limb which hung in the water. The oldest,
twelve years old, drifted down the stream one
hundred yards and lodged against a hanging
willow He had scarcely crawled upon it, when
his little brother came along, but, with presence
of mind perhaps unequaled, he caught him, but
was unable to get him out of the water. While
holding his head above water, his drowned sister
came floating by; he caught her, and held on
for some time, but being unable to save both, he
let the body go. and rescued the living child
until assistance was rendered. The cries of the
mother soon brought the neighbors to the spot
who succeeded in rescuing her from her perilous
position, with one of the children she had with
her; the other was drowned The boy who had
lodged against willow was rescued

Some of our Columbus factories have been in
the habit of sending pretty large orders to New
York and Philadelphia for more than twelve
months past, which goes to prove that we are
no ways behind the rest of the world, either in
the facilities of furnishing goods of superior
quality, or for rates as favorable to large pnr-
chasers as those at which they can buy the
same goods nearer their own doors. And the
cream of the circumstance does not stop here,
Judging from single transaction that occurred
during the Summer of '5S. bale of goods
manufactured in this city, was sent to Philadel-
phia and sold. The next steamer from that
city brought back the identical bale, which had

A CHANCE FOR MARRIAGEABLE LADIES. -

FRAUDS OF THE PENSION BUREAU.--From the
report of the Commissioner of Pensions, just sub
mitted to the House of Representatives by the
Secretary of the Interior, it appears that frauds
in Revolutionary cases have been detected in
ten States; that fifty -four cases have been found
to be fraudulent, of which twenty nine have
been admitted, and twenty five rejected The
amount of money distracted from the Treasury
in these cases is $$68,232; and the amount
claimed in cases that have been rejected be-
cause of their being fraudulent is $s44,o42. OF
the money taken from the Treasury, 200
were received upon the claims recently discov-
cred to be fraudulent in Lancaster county, Pa.
These frauds commenced as early as 1874, and
have been regularly perpetrated to Sept 4, 1858,
The whole number ofpersons connected with
the frauds upon the Pension Bureau, that have
been detected under such circumstances as to
leave no reasonable doubt of their guilt, is
twenty six OF this number seven have been
convicted and sentenced to hard labor in the
Penitentiary; one has died; one has committed
suicide; six have forfeited their bonds and fled

are in Ohio at this time 1907! miles of Rail-
roads completed in whole or in part, of which
357 miles have been opened since the first of

will make 2200 miles of completed railway, in

roads are in progress, viz; Cincinnati and Ma

land Short Line, 30 miles; Clinton Line, be-
tween Tiffin and Pennsylvania State line; Titfin

This sort to be led into bad bargain by q mis-
construction of its terms, when ample time had

We are disposed to sympathize with them in
their misfortune, but We really do not see what
power the Council possesses to afford them re-
lief inasmuch as the law expressly forbIds the
granting extra compensation to public officers
or employees. When we say that the Picayune
stands in the condition of the man who ate the
