We have lust learned by private letter from
Rich Creek nroc county, under date ot 23rd INST,
that for the two week preceding. not day had
passed without the burial Of some of the people Of
that neighburhood. Almost whole families are
FRUSTRATED and the fatality Of that loathsomc dis
ease seems even to be surprising the dreadiully
aggravated form Of fever, which has been so long
prevailing in few miles Of the same locality.
In the Rich Valley. in Smyth county, we learn
that the same disease is doing its work. Nine per-

CURED on board the train Of cars. noticed when
the car sci out from the station at Martinsbnrg,
where stopped for supper, two little boys seat
ed on car seat two removes from the one Oc-
cupiel who wore very forlorn appearance. The
Younger, Il little lad Of six years. seemed trying
to cry. while the elder, evidently his brother,
bright lad of ten years, was giving HIM cncour-
agemcnt in e low voice, and CHANGING apprchen-
syc.y OF the front ear door through which the con-
ductur was presently to make his entrance. In
time he came and after the usual question and
some numbled response by the elder boy address
ed him in rather rough voice, "Ah, ST You are
on board again. are you? Well. you must get OF
Mt the next stopping place" The "cxt stopping
plocc came hut The little boys never stirred from
their seat. Presently the conductor came around
again. $50 you re On board Vet, are YOU Well,
we will have You put off the next time the ears
STOP. At this the little boy began to cry audibly,
and one Of my Kentucky aeqnaintances, who sat
Just il. front Of them, questioned the elder as to
what allied them. From his replies we CLEANED tie
following account:
They TWO brothers. and had left Baltimore,
where they had pre-, iously resiGed, about a week
before. Their mother had been dead some time,
and their father lost his life 10y an accident while
engaged At work an a tuiding, ust two days be-
left destitute, and, finding resource but the
usual place Of refuge, had resolved to 20 West.
where their big brother Lucas, who was married,
and their big sister Martha, who expected to be,
were living They refused to wait until, in an
swer to letter. their brother could come or send
for them but, without money they had seated
themselves in the cars, and been put off regularly
and success syely from each train at the station,
usually making one, aud very rarely the distance
between two stations. They had experienced lit
tie difficulty in securing something to eat and
place to sleep, from the charity Of the villagers
along the way. In this manner they had conquer
ed over quarter of the length of the Baltimore
ard Ohio road, and with equal success could hope
to attain Chicago the goal Of their journey. late in
the fail. Upon becoming satisfied that their story
was really one of TRUTH my friend, the kentucki-
an, proposed and took up a collection among the
passengers for their benefit which resulted in the
handsome sum OF between thirty and forty dollars.
The conductor, to whom they had simply stated
that they had neither money nor ticket when told
the circumstances. refused to take any fare from
them. And SO our little friends came all the way
to Wheeling at one ride.
The following dav after dinner as the Kentuck-
ian and myself were sitting in front of the Sprigg
House, smoking cigars. the little hero came tug
ging before US IL stalwort, wcll-dressed young man
whom he vociierousy announced his big broth
or who hal set out from Chicago to bring them to
his home and had there, by the luckiest chance
met them in the hotel The big brother made an
earnest offer to return the money contributed to
our keeping. saving that the boys had no need OF
it: that he was we'll to do and had often vainly
endeavorcl to get his father to come to his home;
but he refused to accept it. and hade him use
it for the boys. That evening they set out for
Chicago and, long ere this, l presume, the little
heroes have been casped in the arms of their big
sister.
