A CANARY BIRD AT THE WREcK.-In
the statement Of Mrs. Birch, one of the
rescued passengers ofthe Central Amer
ica, the following beautiful incident is re-
lated:
Before left the steamer my husband
provided Inc with life preserver, which
put on. went into my state room
for a cloak, followed by Mr.. Birch, and
saw my canary bird in its cage. 1t was
singing ~ merrily as 1t ever did. On
the spur Of the moment took the little
thing from its prison and placed it in the
bosom OF my dress. My husband re
monstrated with me, hurrying me to
leave the vessel, and telling me not to
waste time on SO trItiing an object.
When | was lowered into the boat, |
thought the bird would have been killed
by the rope. or else drowned by the
waves which broke over us, but he es-
c-ped, and when reached the Marine
he was placed in a cage. The little fel-
low bears no marks of his late hardships.
save that his feathers are disairanged
from the effects OF the bath

Death of q DUelist.

Harold Holeman, for manv years the
publisher of a paper at Frankfort, KY.
and prominently identified with the pol
itics Of the State, died on Thursday OF
last week. He once fought bloody and
fatal due., with bowie knives, and was
himselfa cripple. for lie from it. The
duel. which took place many years ago,
is described by the editor Of the New
York Mercury. who retains vivid recOl-
lection of the encounter, as one Of the
most savage and brutal of that era. Ii
grew out af a militia training. Holeman
who was the commander o! military
company, was followed. whilst on duty,
by favorite dog. A subordinate oe.cer,
who was offended by tie dogs antics,
drew his sword, smote him, and cut the
innocent and unintentionally offending
dog in twain.
flolemsn, in witnessing the assassina-
ton of the poor dog. remarked that who
ever would perpetrate an act Of the kind
was coward and scoundrel. A chal-
lenge to mortal comba' was the conse-
quence. 1t was accepted, and the par
ties met near the State House at Frank
fort and fought desperately two hours
and upwards; and during the fight the
antagonist of Holeman was killed. the
latter escaping with desperate wounds,
Among those who witnessed the duel
were Henry Clay, John Crittenden and
Jesse Bledsoe-the latter. then, one al
the most brilliant and dis tinguished ora
tors of Kentucky tioleman was ar
raigned, charged with the crime of will
ful murder, and after long and excit ing
trial was acquitted. Mr.. Clay and John
j. Crittenden espoused the cause of Hole

RUnGsoay Aggressive yesterday saw a
handful posted at the City sergeant's Office,
offering one thousand dollars reward for the APP
prehension of negro family, consisting of faith
er, mother and five children, who made their
escape from Geo. w. Fairfax, of Preston county
on Sunday night last. They took several hor-
ses with them, and and are supposed to have
gone to Pennsylvania.
P. S.-We learn that the owner of the ne
groes with party of friends pursued and over
took them near the Pennsylvania line. They
had turned the horses loose and secreted them
selves in the woods. They made desperate
resistance with knives and hatchets, woundlng
severely one or two of their pursuers. They
were finally captured, taken to Morgantown and
confined in Jail.

Bold RoJbery---The night before last two
men entered the oyster saloon of Fred Myers,
on Main street. and called for oysters. They
were shown up stairs and told to wait until the
bivalves should be prepared. As soon as the
attendant left the room for that purpose, the two
men entered private room and stole therefrom
a silver watch with gold chain, and one or two
shirts belonging to Mr.. Myers. They were
strangers and have not been seen since.

mud the attendance was larger than is usual up
on such occasions. Everything passed of most
pleasantly The efforts of the little folks, in
the dialogues, recitations and vocal exercises
were very successful, being sprightly and inter-

The decorations were in good taste, and the

Dr. T. II. Logan, superintendent of the School,
who has taken an active and commendable in

present condition of the school.
Rev. Mr. Dodge, and Rev. Mr.. Wilson, spoke
briefly in compliment to the exercises and ex

particularly call attention to the elegant store
and choice goods of this firm. Among other
things, we noticed that they have very nice
assortment of ladies' and gents gloves and gaunt-

soon as published. Their stock of fancy note
paper is a very attractive one-amOng which
we noticed the latest touch in the way of En-
