IS oman,s peyo.lon.


One of the most striking Incidents in the
fearful tragedy near Quebec, was the con.
duct OF Mrs. Bloomfield, ia saving tAo chill
dren. She hold to rope with one hand,
keeping the head of one child above The wa
Ter with the other, and holding the other up
by fastening her teeth in lis dress. So heavy
was the load that two of her teeth gave way
and were lost, yet she still retained her hold.
At last boat came towards her, and men
were screaming all around her 10 be taken
on hoard. She could no, scream, but man
seeing her situation brought boat 10 her,
telling them she needed help most. Then
her strength gave way at the prospect OF re-.
lief and safety, and she came near drowning
before she could be lifted into the boat. She
was light, delicate woman in appearance,
and one wonders how she was ever able 10
endure so much. Our readers will exclaim,
what will not q mother do Bu, these chill
dren were not her own. One of them, aged
eighteen months, is named Jennie, as Mrs.
Bloomfield heard il called on board by it's
parents, who were from Glasgow, and were
both lost.

Very Small business.

A great part OF Judge Ke!ley's speech al
Lewisburg on the Fourth OF July was an ILL.,.
natured scolding of the new cent coin lately
issued by the mint. II don't look well TO
him, but ho ought 10 quiet his nerves by the
reflection lha, de gustibtS non diputind,m est.
He is old enough 10 act like cent-sible man
and moi like the spunSy boy who consoled
himself that If he could not fog his more
vigorour playfelow he could at least make
mouths at his sister Judge Kelley could not
fog Mr.. Buchanan last fall, SO he puts
spark TO his penny craker on The Fourth oil
July, and fizzles out by making mouths al
the new cent, because ii came ou; under Mr.
Buchanan's Democratic adm Illustration, True
be ought TO have his playlhine, bnt this is
rather small business for an EXJudge. Be-
sides, his fzzle was only few grains OF
powder which Theodore Parker u month ago
exploded in one sentence, without thinking
il very smart. Poor Kelley must feel very
sore since the last election TO come from
Philad elphia 10 Iewisburg TO spit his gall.
