GENEROSITY OF A SNoB.-During the
rough and tumble of old Boreas some af-
ternoons since, whilst walking down
Broadway, holding on to hat and CATERS
for fear Of being blown away, stately
carriage swept past in all the gilt and
tinsel trappings in which upper snobdom
50 delights to shine. A sumptuously dres-
sed lady and gentleman reclined on the
couch like luxurious back-seat. In ell
the conscious dignity of buckram and
station sat the unbending driver, when
10! the frollicking wind, unmindful of
purse or person, took the stately hat of
the stately driver, and, whirling it high
in the air, deposited it in the democratic
dust down under the horses feet. Here
was'a dilemma. The carriage could not
proceed with hatles driver; the driver
could not descend from his stately throne;
the snob within could not demean him
self to pick up his own drivers hat; there
was no nimble tootman to Jump down like
tricked out monkey, and make snatch
at the missing head-piece. So, what was
to be done2 Snobdom was evidently suf-
fsring heavy loss of dignity, and such
state of affairs could not be much lon
ger borne.
A little ragged boy, q slender little
morsel of humanity, saw and comprehen-
ded the difficulty. In an instant the hat
was dragged from the midst of the hoofs
Of the fiery, impatient horses, restored to
the driver, who took it from the boy with
a stiff, stately condescension. l turned
to look for the glimmer of silver reward
to the little boy from the gentleman snob
within; but, true to the creed by which
he had arrived at that sunlmun bonum of
snob-heaven-A carriage creed of
take all you can and keep all you get,)
not pewter sixpence was vouchsafed the
little herb for rescuing the somewhat
crushed hat at the imminent peril of his
own ragged life. Is this man made in
the image of his Maker7 thought 1, as
with sad but placid countenance the lean
pale, lad moved slowly away to the OPP
pogite side of the street, and the carriage
with its proud and penurious burden,
hurried out of sight. No, he was but
libel on the name of manhood. The boy
of want and toll was the man, and the
rich, idle man but the puppet of miscalled
respectability.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1855-01-18

was at once instituted by the people of
the town. The suspicion that she had
been foully dealt with was excited by
the fact that woman in a house near
rMr. Hamilton's stated that she heard
the stitied cries of female in distress,
between eight and nine o'clock the pre-
vious evening, and that she called the
attention of others to the fact, but they
discredited, and paid no attention to the
alarm. Soon after, some persons living
near the creek, eighty rods distant. tes-
titled that they heard screams like those
OF female in distress, on the night Miss
II. disappeared. Three days were spent
in searching the vicinity. when at length
the mutilated body Of the missing girl
was found in the creek ,ihalf mile above
the village. The skull was broken,
which doubtless produced death, but a
medical examination proved that the,
murder was but sequel to outrage.
1t was ascertained that the young wo.
man was carried for quarter of q mile
along thickly populated street, and
taken up the creek to where the screams
were heard, there outraged, then muir
dered, and her body after wards thrown
into the water.
The whole community were now
aroused to ferret out the authors of the
dreadful deed, but all their efforts were
Intellectual. Forty-one years have passed
away and the guilty parties are still un-
known. Some two years after one
Patrick Cavanogh confessed himself the
murderer. He was put on trial and
proved to be insane. lie evidently
knew nothing of the matter. Some years
later still, enc Lent, United States SOL
dier, made a confession, duplicating a
comrade named Sickler as the principal
in the murder. Sickler was tried and
acquitted, and Lent sent to State pri-
son for perjury, it being apparent that
neither knew anything of the murder.
So much for the Athens tragedy. We
hope Rochester has not been the theatre
of similar one; but what has been
done in Athens might be IS easily done
in Rochester, for aught that law, police,
or morality might do to prevent it.
