Tie hercnry gives the following report Of the ract
over the Magnolia Course on Friday last, between
Calvit, Bill Deering, and Red Jacket:

offered Pools of 800 were sold at auction and in al
most every instance Calvit brought $50, while BIZ

the appointed hour the three horses came to thu
stand, and fine start was made Bed Jacket having
the inside track. The running had scarcely began
however, before both Bill Deering and Calyit passed

at full speed Cavit winning the heat in SO by scarce

The Deering stock from this out took rise, and
although betters still offered odds Calvit they had
evidently lost confidence. Notwithstanding he had
already won heat Both horses came to the stand
at the tap Of the drum and started fairly, CalVit
having the inside, and from the beginning it became
apparent that if he intended to take the second heat
little faster time had to be made Bill Deering soon
took the lead and kept it through the entire heat.
On the home stretch both horses were pressed hard
but Deering continued to open the gap and came in
amidst the loud cheers Of his hackers, winning the
heat handsomely in j:574.
1t was now evident that Bill Deerng would win
the race, and some bets made with large odds in
his favor.
The start was again excellent, Deering on the in.
side, which he kept throughout the heat and at no
time during the last heat were the horses length
apart. The heat and race was won by Bill Deering
in G:l0.
Although this race was a slow one it was remark.

to and from New York, a fair share of
which would seek this channel, it cannot
be doubted that the small amount requisite
to finish the Quakake connection will be
furnished in the spring by the parties ir-
terested.
It is proper here to state that very cor.
siderable reductions have been effected in
the working expenses of the road the past
year, and an arrangement has been conclu-
dcd with the little Schuylkill Company, by
which the payment by the Cattawissa
Company, for the use of their track is re-
duced from one.half to oue.third of the
gross receipts on that road. At the rate of
last years busines, this would effect q saw.
ing 10 ibis company of ebout SIG, 1000
the total amount paid them having been
1900.
The whole road and rolling stock arc
in perfect condition, and, it is believed, no
further expenditure will bo required on
these accounts for several years. .,..
Such are the condition an prospects of
the Cattawissa road. In laying them be-
fore tho bord and stockholders, the Presi-
dent and Managers feel conscious that ev-
cry cxcrtioa in their power has been made
for the interess of all concerned.
Owing to the unparalleled pressure Of
the last few months, their duties have prov
ed very arduous, and the utmost effort has
been required to prevent those sacrifices
which the commercial crisis we are passing
through has cntailed on so many similar
corporations.
We have felt it our duty to stand firmly
and quietly at the helm, during this storm.
1t was useless to appeal for assistance,
when our friends needed all their attention
and resources for their own protection.
But We feel it equally imperative, now
that the worst is over, to call attention,
most earnestly, to the Importance of fund.
ing the floating debt of the company, and
| placing this important enterprise on per.
manenl foundation. &c.. .,.-, "a
1t is no less the interest of the bopdhol-
ders, than the stockholders, to do this.
And it is csporially important to the
holders, of the unsecured income bonds,
whose property is va,ueless, if the credit of
the company should be destroyed.
A plan will early be submitted for the
extinguishmen' of this debt, and the at
sorption of all the unsecured bonds of the
combany, by which, it is believed, the in
terests Of all parties will be ensured, and
the value Of tie compady's securi les great

A Murdered Boy Come to Life.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. l9.-Last
winter a boy named Charles E. Sage,
about nineteen years of age was missing
from his home in Cromwell near Middle.
town, in this State, and an Irishman named
Patrick Nugent, was charged with mur.
dering him and putting his body under the
ice, in the Connecticut river. In few
months afterwards, boy was found in the
river without head. This body was
believed to be that of the missing boy,
from several marks upon it, as well as
from a portion of the clothing, Soon
afterwards, the lining of an overcoat was
found answering to the description of
that worn by the missing person.
Some months after, sailor, named Rem
son directly charged Nugent, the Irishman
with the murder. He said he saw the
deed done, and assisted Nugent in putting
the corps under the hay-mow. He desert
bed the dress the color of his hair, &c.
declared that he had not any peace of mind
since the murder, and that he had come tc
Cromwell especially to divulgc all he knew
about it, He confronted Nugent and
charged the deed upon him. The accused
denied it, but trembled from head to foot
A true bill was found against Nugent
and he was to have been tried this month
Within few days, however, the missing
boy has been discovered in the interior o
Pennsylvania, by his uncle. A specia
Court was Immediately held, and Nugen
liberated.
The sailor had been arrested for perjury
with intent to take life, and acknowledge
his guilt. The crime will send him t
States Prison for life.

A Bank that Never Breaks.

Mr.. -, merchant now residing in
Philadelphia, who formerly lived in rather
cxtravogant style, was in the habit, every
Monday morning, of giving his wife
certain sum of money for table and house
hold expenditures for the week, he never
mentioned his business to his wife, and she
dceming him sufficiently capable of atton-
ding to his own affairs, never inquired into
them. About five years after marriage,
through some slight mismanagement, and
the rascality of his confidential clerk,
Mr.. - suddenly broke, and his fall was
mentioned sympathiz.ngly" on change,
and like all such matters, there all the
sympathy for him ended. The merchant
kept the affair secret, and the first inti-
nation his lady had of it was paragraph
in the newspaper. Shortly after dinner
was over, on the discovery of the startling
fac', Mrs. requesod her husband to
remain in the parlor few moments as she
had something to say to him. She left
the room, hurried up stairs, and shortly
after returned with splendidly bound
Bible in her hand. Handing it to her
husband she said
George, the day Of our marriage you
gave me this precious book as token of
your love, and rich fountain to look to in
the day of trouble.
Its pages have been precious to me and
as your brow looks sad to day, I now re.
turn 1t to you, that you may CLEAN from
it some consolation in the hour of gloom y

up and glanced at its facet was SIC

another Of the same amount was before
him. He opened it at the first page, and
continued to find an K between every two
leaves, till he arrived at the commencement
of Revelations. He was saved,

"Roquest your mistress to come to M

A Daupin County Romance,

~ O"uph'h S0uhegj "'b SO'hS pS'Sh
years ago, lived wealthy farmer, who
was blessed with family of six children,
the eldest Of which was beautiful girl of
seventeen summers. A young man in the
ncghborhood, who was of a good family
feigned attachment to her. Young and
inexperienced, she fell into the snare set
for her, Shortly after her ruin was ac-
complished, the young man, fearing the
wrath Of her father, when the consequent
ces Of his vllainy should become apparent,
abscondcd. The girl feeling her shame
fed to Harrisburg, hinging her bonnet in
to creek which flowed through her faith
er's farm, in order to make her friends be.
lieve she was drowned. Shortly after her
supposed death, her father, upon whose
mind the event weighed heavily, wishing
to leave the scene of his afflictiou, sold bis
farm, and removed to Crawford county,
| Ohio.
In the meantime she had reached Har-
risburg, taken the cars West, and in few
days found herself at the only tavern in a
secluded village in the interior of N Michigan.
The landlady was kind hearted woman
and at that particular time was in need of
an assistant. She heard the story of the
poor girl, sympathized with her, and liking
her appearance, insisted on her making
that her home. In this house she passed
six years Of contontment. Her hostess
introduced her as a widow-she gained
friends, and received many advantageous
offers of marriage.
One morning about six months ago, she
was in the sitting room when the stage
drove up. The windows of The coach were
down, and she could see most of the pas
sengers. Among them was face tha
seemed familiar to her. She looked again
and with a shrek fell fainting on the floor
1t wus her scducer The landiady soor
learned how matters stood, and de.ermi
ned that justice should be done. Sh,
sought him. told him the facts, and insisted
that he should repair the injury he ha,
inflicted by making her his wife. To thi
he at once consented. Three months af C.
his fight from Pennsylvania seized wit
remorse, he had started back with the in
tcnton of marry ing her. On the way h.
had picked up newspaper, which contain
ed an account of her tragical death. Feel
ing that he was the cause of her untimel
cnd hear. .sck and sad, he turned back
changed and better man. He had settle
down, accumulated property, and was
man of standing and Influence. The 10
of the girl when she met with her reper
tant lover, may be imagined. They wei
, married that evening, and the next mourn
r ing started for Pennsylvania. Ascertain
ing the address of her father, they came q
, to Bucyrus, Ohio, as fast as steam cou1

+ lures of the old man as he clasped to h
bosom daughter he had mourned as dea

few weeks of unalloyed happiness at Il
residence of the girls father, they return
