A THRILLING INCIDENT.

Returning from visit to New Orleans,
we were fortunate enough to secure u pas

terested US She was the widow OF a veal
thy planter. and was returning with only
one child to her fathers home Her deyo
ton To the child was very touching. and The
eyes Of her old bleak nurse would bill with
tears a. she bsought her mistress not TO
love tlat boy too much. or the Lord would
take him away frOm her. We pissed thro'h
the canal { Louisville, and stopped Tor
few minutes at the wharf. wher the nursee,
wishing TO zee the city, walked out on the
guard put the back Of the boat, where, by
sudden effort the child srrang IRON her arms
into the terrible current that swept towards
the falls, disappeared immediately. The
confusion which ensued attracted the atten-
ton of "A gentleman who was IN the front
part OF Of the hOat quietly aiding. Rising
hastily, he asked for some article the child
had worn The nurse handed him u tiny
apron she had torn Of ir her effort 10 retain
the babo in her arms. Turning TO asplehdid
Newfoundland dog that was eagerly watch
ing his countenance, he pointed hrst to the
apron, and then TO the spot where the child
had gone under.
In an Instant the noble dog leaped into
the rushing water. and he also disappeared.
BY this time the excitement was intense, and
some persons on shore suppOeing that the
dog was lost ~ we'll as the child, lIOcurei

evident hi. strength was fast failing and more
than one breast gave sigh Of relief as the
boat reached him. and il was announced
that be bad the chlld, and it was still alive.
They were brought on shore-the dog and
the child.
Giving single glance to satisfy herself
that the child was really living. the young
mother rushed forward, and sinking beside
the dog, threw her arms around his neck and
burt into tears. Not many could view the
sight unmUyed. and us she carressed and kis-
scd his shaggy head, she looked up to his
owner and said
-, sir must have this dog am rich,

child's preseryer.
The gentleman smiled, and Iattlng his

THRICI.VIIELY ACT. FOR 1858.

We propose to issue the 2lst volume OF
the Thrice Weekly Age during the session Of
the coming Legislature.
To enable US to do this without q very
yrtai peeSniary loss il is absolutely necessary
that our friends throughout the State, for
whose qualification and benefit the publica-
ton is made, should aid in giving us good
list of subscribers.
The comparatively small number Of Dem.
ocratic members OF tie Legislature renders
this service in our behalf doubly requi. tie
this year. and we therefore confidently rely
upon receiving it.
The session will be an interesting one, rs
many questions are to come up, in regard to
which the people ofthis State will look with
anxiety for the sayings aud doings Of our
opponents, who will have everything their
own way.
The doings Of Congress, and the general
News Department will also be faithfully at
tended e, and brought before our subscribers.
The character OF the Thrice Weekly Age
is 30 well known, that we deem it needless
to add any thing more.
The terms will be 81, in advance, for the
session. Postmasters, CT others, who Will
forward US the names Of ten subscribers and
the SO, shall receive copy in addition.
Ii is very desirable that the lists should
DO forwarded Us early as the first Of January.
