The Fulton Patriot, gives an account of
an incident that occurred in the town of
CRANKY, in that county, few days ago,
which is striking illustration of fraternal
devotion and heroism:
On the 10th inst, the wife Of Mr.. J. II.
Suydam was brought to the door of her own
house by the piercing cry Of one of the lit
tie ones, and going to the well, saw it sink
ing in the water eighteen feet below the sur
face of the ground. The hired girl was in
stantly sent for the nearest man, (the father
being away from home at the time, } the moth
er stepped her foot on the curb for the pur-
pose of descending, but on rejecting that her
life was in jeopardy, she withdrew it again.
and stood watching the struggles of her pratt
Ting boy. But as he came up the last time.
and threw himself on his back, he looked up
at his mother, and said in the expression of
his countenance, "Ma, can't you help me 2"
The mother waited no longer for help or
health, but in an instant descended into the
well and caught the little one by the arm
and held him out of the water.
Her little son, four years and half old,
went into the house, emptied the water out
OF the pail, hooked it on to the pole, and low
cred it by the sweep, which was nearly heavy
enough to draw pail of water. This PROV

either drop the child or drown herself Ma
king desperate effort, she climbed up the
slippery stones until she was near the top,
when Frankly, lying down on the platform,
caught his little brother by the arm, and
cried out, give got him =" Thus the little
sufferer was rescned some time before help

A WOMAN TO THE TIP OF HER TONGUE
A laughabla war of vituperation has recent
ly been waged between two newspapers at
Yazoo city, Miss, one the IS Banner" edited
by Mrs. H. N. Prewett, and the other the
"Sun," by Mr.. W. D. Roy This war was
one of unexampled bitterness and personal
acrimony' especially on the part of the lady,
(who is q Fillmore man, and at last reached
such pitch that the feminine, to 'sequalize, T"
as she said, the position of the parties, drop
ped Mr.. Roy, and announced her intention Of
pitching into his spouse. At this stage Of
the matter, hover, dozen respectable citi-
zens signed letter addressed to the parties,
requesting them to desist from the further
publication of articles of personal charac-
ter, IS they were not exactly of q nature to
interest their readers. This appears to have
been agreed to, but Mrs. Prewett, in the gen.
nine spirit of her ''last words" prerogative,
and with something like Punic faith and Lig-
urian honesty, finds occasion in "dropping"
the matter, thus to "speak her mind.":
"We now drop the whole matter, at the
request Of the above letter, though we had a
first rate notice Of 'Roy's wife in type. On
the whole, we have concluded to let the poor
woman pass, as she has as much as she can
bear. We suppose the devil owed her q
grudge, and has paid it off in husband
She need not fear the terrors of another
world, as she has received sufficient punish.

JOHN RANDOLPH NOT "DEMocRAr."-
There was, in the vicinity of Roanoke, a
carpenter named Wyatt Caldwell, who by
industry and prudence had acquired good
property. He was tolerablt we'll educated
and highly esteemed by all who knew him
80 much was he thought of by his neighbors
that he represented them for sometime in the
State Legislature. In this man Randolph
had the highest confidence. On going to
Europe, he was acostomed to leave Mr.. Cald-
well in charge Of his whole estate. On one
occasion he published an advertisement to
that effect, in which he said that Mr.. G. was
one Of the few honest men he had ever met.
Yet, this gentleman declared after the death
of Randolph, that Notwithstanding their long
intercourse, and their transaction Of business
to the amount Of many thousand dollars,
Randolph had never asked him to dinner
And yet he WINS considered one of the most
hospitable men in the Old Dominion.

SPAIN RUINED BY THE DESTRUCTION OF
THE INouIsIrIoN.-The Paris Univers, the
ultra montane organ of the Roman Church,
contains the following appeal for the In
QUESTION:
The decadance Of the Inquisition is also
the decadence of Spain. This fact cannot be
denied and it must also be acknowledged
that the two greatest minds which have ap-
peared in Spain since the suppression of the
Inquisition- and Doneso Cortes-
were its apologists; and that the last re-
source of Spain, and the only hope which re-
mains to it, is that profound sentiment OF
faith, that Catholic temperament which were
formed by the inquisition. Without them
its revolutions have shown what Spain may
become, and what it must expect"

The last number of the Courier speaks as
follows of the onward progress of St. Peter:
Contrary to our most sanguine expecta-
tions, the business of st. Peter is steadily
increasing. 1t was thought that when WIN
ter closed in npon us the hustle and actiSlty
of the last summer and fall would receive q
visible check, but we are happily disappomt-
ed eyerv department Of trade is IN active
motion, and our streets present an exceed
inelv lively appearance true, the erection OF
new buildings has Temporarily ceased, but all
are making ready to operate again in that
NAV At the earliest practicable moment
The same wants and the same difficulties
which were encountered the past season will
not embarrass US at the opening of the com,
ing spring; lumber will be more plenty and
much cheaper, and supplies generally will be
more svailable. We have heard it estimated
by men who ought to know, and who are Ca
pable Of giving an impartial and candid opln, IN,
ion, that four hundred houses, at least, Will
be put up next season and we know OF very
many who are making extensive preparations
for early and active progress.
The Mississippi towns, fully aware OF the
agricultural capability Of this region and its
importance in q commercial point OF view,
are anxious to connect with us, and in short
time we shall see q spirited movement in the
direction of Winona, in relation to the con-
struction of the Winona and st. Peter Rail
rosd-the whole line should and may be
placed under contract the ensuing season.
St. Peter will take hold of this enterprise
with energy and spirit-and once commenc.
ed, the rapidity Of our onward course will
utterly battle the calculations of the most
sanguine of our friends. Another railroad
connection is sure to be made by way of Ce-
dar Rapids, and at no distant time, still
another by way of Minneapolis-whow will
have the hardihood to say that st. Peter is
not destined to be the railroad center of the
great northwest. v..e...- -asss 3D.
