A MAN DRowNED-As the Fred Iron
was coming down the river, short distance
above Cannelton, the barber-a German
fell overheard and was drowaed. He was
attempting to draw some water and it is
supposed, as the decks were icy, that his
feet slipped, and he was precipitated into
the river. The unfortunate man was an
expert swimmer, and sustained himself On
the water for a considerable time-swim-
ming first on his belly and then on his back
but went down at last, before a boat reach
ed him. The officers of the boat state that
no one gave the alarm until the steamer
was at too great a distance for boat to get
to him in time. The barber had got on
board at Cincinnati-this proving his first
and last trir, on tie Iron. NO one on board
had any acquaintance with him, and after it
was found impossible t. r,s,ue him, an in
vestigation was had of bis effects. The
only thing found by which it could be ascer-
tanned who he was and where he was from,
was the following letter of recommendation
SoMERsvILLE, Oct. 10th, 1851
We, the subscribers, residing at Somer3-
vile, N. j., do certify that we are acquainted
with Jacob Mant, the bearer of this He has
been employed in the barber shop of Henry
Bernes, of this place, for about five months
past. We know him to be attentive TO his
business, of good character, and of pleasing
manners, and recommend him to any person
who may wish TO employ such one in the
business of barber.
H. w. CASTOR
c. BARcALow,
H BERNEs
This letter proves him to have been a man
or rather boy, for he is supposed to have
been about eighteen years old-of excellent
character and disposition. In addition to
this letter, was found a Presbyterian Hymn
Book, printed in German, and within the
hymn book was small slip of paper con-
tanning the words, "my mother died in
1883" The hymn book was, probably, n
gift from his mother, whose death he had
thus recorded, and whom, doubtless, he has
now joined.

B6The examination of our Free Schools
commenced yesterday, and four schools were
examined; the lumber of scholars in each
SCHOOL were as follows: Miss Mckay, 76;
Miss Kendall, 60: Miss Linxwiller, 46; Miss
Clark's 10: total, 276.
We are informed that there were, Mt these
four examinations. three mothers, enc grand
mother, and one grand father. From the
number in attendance, we incline 10 one OF
two opinions; first, that parents and guard =
ans have so much to attend to that they
cannot leave home, or they care SO little for
the educational welfare of their children
that they will not attend Shall it be thus
throughout the week? are not the children
and teachers to be cheered by the approval
of parents and, guardians ?-if so, let them
attend the examinations, if they do not visit
the schools at any other time.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Midnight came, but the tories had not made
their appearance. The little band, with
breathless anxiety awaited their expected ap-
proach not sound, save the heavy BREATH
ing of those present broke the monotony of
that suspense. The old, cofin-shaped clock,
faithful in its rounds as the sun in his course,
struck one, two and three. Still no enemy
appeared. The walters had become impatient +;
some had already gone to sleep Mt their post
while Others nodded and yawned, and became
tired at the delay Of the tories. Joshua and
his venerable grandfather slept not, talked
not; neither did they heed the complaints
that, ever and and anon, broke from the rest
less little band.
At. last, thump was heard at the front
door. The old gentleman noiselessly awoke
the sleepers and each grasped his trusty fire
lock. The humping continued. The door
had been bolted and barred in the early part
OF the evening, and was likely 10 stand good
many hard thumps. The venerable grand
father quietly ascended the staiIs..and raising
window, thrust out his night-capped head
and said "Friends, if thee thinkest thee car
find anything here in the darkness OF night
that cannot find in day time, will let the'
come in.'
Down went the window. The curses ant
imprecations of the tories were loud and lont
Their threats were plain and distinct to thu
inmates, who were waiting like tiger t.
pounce upon his prey. voice, louder thar
the rest, announced the determination to fir
the building, but the idea was hooted at, 70
that would destroy the opportunity of procu
ring the plunder deposited in the well, am
the possession of which was their only objec
at present.
