A RAILROAD TRAIN SAVED BY CHILD
During the recent extensive fires in
South Carolina cuvert on the railroad
was destroyed, and the train would have
run the risk of being precipitated into the
opening but for the forethought and courage
of little girl who ran considerable dis
tance down the road and waited for the train
when she stood on the road and waved her
bonnet to the conductor as a signal to stop.
The latter, observing the unusual object,
stopped the train and ascertained the danger
by which he saved his own life and the lives
of the passengers. The citizens talk Of 70.
wardng the noble conduct Of the girl and
having her properly educated.

Manuscripts Of The Poet Burns gen.
ilenan writing from England, gives the
following account OF the safes OF n portion
OF the autographic productions of the poet
Burns
! think have already informed you Of
the extensive sale of Robert Burns manu-
scripts, belonging to the late Mr.. Picker
Ing. II have not, will tell you, that
owing to the invinclbe obstinacy OF Mr.. s
- who was buying for parties in Ameri.
ca, the prices were of the most astonishing
magnitude f3O was paid for Bruce's ad-
dress, though four copies, in the poets
hand writing, are in existence. The let
ters sold at from ca to E5 each generally,
and sometimes more. Some lots were,
however, struck off cheap, such as letter
with the song of Bonny Dundee" with
an extra stanza signed r. b., f2 Is, the
"Brigs of Ayr,"7 IL pages of foolscap, f6
5s., "Woo'd and married and A." with
another stanza on the back, 30s. Son
Cassnak Banks" AMI !" Aud Lang Syne"
sold for 10 guincas. The original Excise
Commission for f5 22s. Cd. "To Mary
in Heaven" E7 los.
Since the Pickering sale, Mr.. Petes
Cuitingham (son of Allan Cunningham
has disposed Of his Burns manuscripts,
from which .sThe Cotter's Saturday Night"
was bought for the British Museum at f2O
los. This lot created much excitement in
the breast ot a friend OF mine, who opened
the ball with f5 IS. and not waiting for an
opponent PASSED on TO Flo l0s. and then
jumped to f2O. Here his fire was exhaust
ed he seemed to breathe with more free
dom, and resigned it to our national deposit
tory. The letter to DR.. Moore contain
ing the poets own life, went to the same
place for El2. 1t was some years ago
discovered in q box Of waste paper and
rubbish at the pawnbroker's. A letter en-
closing the poem of the "Dasy" sold for f3.
In the same sale was Fieldng's Assign
ments of "Tom JONES'" with receipts for
the payments in advance attached, which
brought fS. Mr. Cunningham recently
bought it for less than E2. A letter to st.
Walter Scott produced f3 l6s., and the

the design being to abolish the study of the
Latin language in the High school
Resolved, That the schoo. committee be
instructed 10 have nothing but thorough
English education taught in our public
schools the alphabet, spelling, reading
writing, arithmetic, geography, the history
of our country and the English language.
The vote was declared carried, but the
decision was doubted, and hand vote de-
manded, when it was lost by five to one
So the girls and boys in Warren are still

NArURALIsING A ARUssIAS.-The master
of the Jessie Mitchell, lately discharging gu
ano in Leith Docks, from the island of Leone
relates humorous scene which occurred
under his own eye in that island. The
barque Atlantic, seized and sold in Lieth
as Russian prize, left the Island of Leone
day or two prior to the arrival of the Jes-
sic Mitchell. One of the Russian crew had
deserted from the Atlantic, and concealed
himself on the island but he afterwards dis
covered himself to the seamen, and declared
his desire to renounce his allegiance, and
become British subject. How to effect the
transformation was question which puzzled
Jack greatly however, on the arrival Of
the Jessie Mitchell her crew, along with the
seamen on shore, met in solemn conclave,
and their united wisdom determined that as
water is ever emblemotical of purity, and
its cleansing properties have been known
and appreciated in all ages and countries it
was the only medium which could effect the
momentous change Of converting Russian
into true British subject! The conclave
next adjourned to small creek or basin u
round the white pebble beach Of which they
arranged themselves about three yards apart
each with buckets while the poor Russian
commenced walking round the margin of
the creek, repeating the form of abjuration
taught him by The tars, who took care, on
their part, that he should rereive from each
full bucket of water. This august cere-
mony completed, the sailors, with three
hearty cheers, acknowledged him as Bri-
tish subject, and admitted him, with all the
honours, to their society. The whole pro-
cecdings, saith our informant, were conduct
ed in the most orderly manner.-Scottis h
