A Boys Tongue Fastened to a
Lamp Post.

On Saturday week, a little fellow about
years old, a son of Mr.. Chilean, bookseller
while playing with some other boys on North
street, approached a lamp post aud carelessly
applied his tongue to its gray frosted surface.
when in an Instant, to the boys own horror
and utter astonishment of his playmates, he
was held fast by his tongue to the post, suf;
ering veryss severe pain, and totally unable tc
extricate himself. OF course the boy could
not speak, and could only manifest his feelings
by signs.
Various applications of warm tea, steam &c,
were made by some Of the neighbors, who
heard the unusual noise made by the other
boys, aud came to learn Rhat was the matter,
but Of no avail; such was The action Of the
cold iron that the hold was even getting tight
err; when after about ten minutes had elapsed,
the boys father heard OF the affair, and has
tening to his relief, he took a knife and was
obliged to cut the tongue loose, leaving its
skin still fast to the post, and causing the
blood to flow profusely. Immediately on his
release, the poor little fellow became insensi-
bic, aud was taken home London &C. ~

sGF- Concerning the late Gouldy tragedy,
we learn that Mrs. Gouldy, the step mother
of the young monster, has so far recovered
from her wounds as to be considered out of
danger. Mr.. GouIdy is also in a fair way Of
recovery. One of the wounds upon his head
has entirely healed, but the Others are still
very sore. The brain protrudes to the size of a
walnut but the attending physicians confident
ly assert that he will finally be restored to
health. His side has net yet recovered from
the paralytic shock consequent upon the affec-
ton of the brain. The galyanic battery is to
be applied as soon as the strength of thelpatient
will admit of Mr.. Gouldy has not yet been
informed of the suicide of his son. Young
Nathaniel is convalescent, being able to set
up in bed and converse Charles is also bet
ter, bat makes very slow progress. The SER
want girl is still in the New York hospital,
where every attention is paid to her. The
doctors believe she will recover. GreaA num-
bers visit the house in thirteenth street, but
none are permitted to see the afflicted except
those appointed to watch them during
the day and night, the relations and physi-
clans. The recovery of the family is almost a
miracle.

A9~ On Thursday evening last the steamer

was entered by burglars, and money to the
amount Of about forty dollars taken from the
Captains Office. Capt. Arrowsmith, on the
following, morning, finding that he had been
robbed, was at a loss to know who the thieves
were, when a farmer, who came to the boat
with produce, spoke of having met three young
men going towards Red Bank, one of whom be
recognized a as boy known as skinny" from
New York, and who has been employed by

New York, procured the services of Capt
Walling, Of the police force, and repaired to

they awaited the arrival of the Highland

three gentlemen were recognized, and arrested
They seemed quite excited at the appearance Of

SUICIDE.

The Woodbury. Constitution says on Satur-
day morning last, Mrs. Clement, wife of Isaac
Clement, of Clarksboro', hung herself from the
bed curtain frame. Her husband coming in
from his shop or garden, perceived the usual
preparations for baking somewhat advanced,
but the stove cold, the fire nearly out, and
Mrs. c. absent. On looking he found her as
above. He Immediately ran to the store, to
alarm the neighbors or get assistance. In the
meantime, two of the children coming in, mis-
sing their mother went up stairs to hunt her,
and finding her in that situation, cut her down
and placed her upon the bed. She had evil
IDENTIFY been dead some time. Her feet would
have touched the floor, had they not been
drawed up, and she could easily have set down
on the bed. She had been in a melanch oly
mood for a day or two, and evidently some
thing had been preying upon her mind. She
was esteemed by her acquaintance, as a kind
and obliging n~eighbor, pleasant and agreeable
in her intercourse.

Frightful Calamity.

A shocking calamity occurred al Aorwalk
Yesterday noon, the particulars Of which have
been furnished US By Mr.. Rust engineer on
the Cleveland aud Toledo Railroad. A few
weeks since Mr.. Mckinley, a maehinist, and
his two sons Charles and George, dug Il well
near their house to the depth OF fftyseven
feet. The we'll was about eighteen inches in
diameter at the top and three feet at the bot
tom. Yesterday they commenced erecting a
curb round the well. The windlass VIII ch had
been used for drawing up dirt was still stand
ing over it, aud by some means the bucket at
tached TO the windlass rope became unfast-
ened aud fell to the bottom. One Of the boys
put his foot in the hook at the end Of the rope
and went down to recover the bucket, the
other holding the windlass the while When
some ten feet on his way down the boy slip
ped from the rope and fell to the bottom Of
the well. Mr. Mckinley, wild with horror,
put his other son upon the rope, and babe
him go down and save his brother. The boy
attempted to do so but lost his hold when
some twelve feet down, and fell to the bottom,
as his brother had before him. A lights
was lowered into the well to enable those
above (there was a large crowd congregated)
to see the unfortunate lads, but the air was so
foul that the light instantly went out.
A large number Of men worked all yester-
day afternoon to recover the bodies of the
boys. they were raised several times till
within eight or ten feet of the top, but the
opening so extremely small that they could
not be pulled out, and fell violently back tc
the bottom. 1t was proposed to dig tho well
out to-day.
The boys were aged seventeen and fourteen
years respectively, and are described as Emarl
aud worthy boys.
BY special and private despatch from Nor
walk WI learn that the bodies were recovered
at twelve o'clock last night. Physicians state
that the boys must have died from the fou
air in the well rather than from their fall
Mr.. Mckinley is nearly insane with grief
The bodies had fallen and been pulled nearly
up SO many times that they were terribly

In a P%redica1nent.

On Monday evening last a young gentleman
residing i'll Williamsburg, New York, was
walking down Grand street with his two sis
tiers, when they observed a man of respectable
appearance standing near the corner of Elev-
enth street with a respectfully dressed young
woman. After they had passed, the stranger
stepped up to the young gentleman and beck
ening him aside, stated that the young woman
had come to the city to be married, and were
to have met a friend Of theirs who was to
have stood up" with them. Their friend not
arriving and they being anxious to have the
ceremony performed as speedily as possible, he
made bold to ask him if he would " stand up
with them. The gentleman, thinking it would
be a good joke proposed the affair to his sis
ters, and they agreeing, the whole party went
before the Rev. A Guion, Of the Episcopal
Church, and the loving couple were by him
duly married. The bride is a young woman
at service with a family in New York, and
the groom is a sailor just returned from sea-
The married couple left the clergyman's res
idence well pleased, and thankful for the ser
vices Of the groomsman and the unexpected
bridesmaids.

bT The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writes to that journal as
follows:
A curious change of countenance may be
noticed this season among the multitude of
office-Seekers who swarm here, ~beleaguring the
White House and infesting the Departments
The bearded aad moustached individuals is
much less than last year. The reason is, as
it is said, that the President has expressed his
disgust at lhirsate faces. He can hardly toll
crate a beard and cannot abide a moustache.
The c~onrtiers consequently began to shave
La this judicious conformity to the imperial
tastes they follow the historical precedents and
traditions Of their class. III remember right
ly, the practice Of shaving in Europe erigina-
ted in the desire to please a French monarch
to whom nature had denied a beard. Having
become the fashion, shaving continued even
after the cause of its origin had disappeared.
Pathetic stories are ahoat in conversation here
of office seekers who have made heroic s~acrii-
ces of loug-cherished boards and moustaches
in hopes of melting the Presidential heart, and
have found, when too late that even such i'm
notation did not meet with its reward.

Bamford's Preserve Establishment

During the past summer, we visited, in the
city of Trenton, the Preserve Mandatory Of
Mr.. William Bamford, and in verifcation Of
the old saying that you are never too old to
learn" found, much to our surprise, that the
city of Trenton, and or State could boast Of
so extensive a establishment. Fruits of al
most every variety, such as Tomatoes, Peaches,
Strawberries, ~Blackberries, &c, are here pre-
served for winter use. Some forty hands are
employed, most Of them girls, and it is very
interesting to witness the different operations
in preparing the fruit for market. We were
informed that from 100 to 1875 bushels Of to-
matoes were packed daily at this establishment,
in quart and half gallon cans. All these were
raised III the immediate neighborheod.

pa The cost of the "Cable Enthusiasm,

Field and Others have just been finished, the
bill costing the city $500. It appears that
at the Crystal Palace, the boxes presented
were only wood, made to look like gold by a
little exterior gliding. Considering the disas-
troas failure which has attended the great
est event of the age, the wooden boxes "were
the most appropriate symbols for an immortal
it7 which lasted scarcely a month. The re-
cipients doubtless had a shrewd suspicion Of
the brevity of their fame, when they accepted

no clue to the perpetrator and no reason is
known for the outrage.
