In the town of NJ, Lewis county,
Pa, resided, not long since, a worthy
old gentleman, with bis son and
daughter.in-law. The latter being
Of querulous disposition, was al
ways complaining Of her bard lot,
and expressing her determination to
commit suicide at the earliest favor
able opportunity. One day, when
her husband had gone 'to MILL che
called her fathsr-ip-lsW to see her
commit the act Of self-destruction.
The old gentleman put on bio coat
and accompanied her to the rivers
side and coolly waited for her to
jump in This was rathe, a damper
to the lady, but at last she baGe him
good Bye and was about to plunge
in, when the ole gentleman cried out
to her, saying
Not there! not there! it ain t
deep enough here's better place!'
The GOODNESS of the old gentle
man Knocked the romance Of the
thing out Of the daughters mind;
she gave up her intention, and re.
turned to her home and her duties
quite reformed.

1t will not always do to follow the
examples of iilustrious men. To IL
lustrate this We will give the follow
ing story, told by a newspaper wri.
ter of himself:
"When young, he bad read the
well known story of George Wash
'ington's love Of truth, and the will
manifested on the occasion referred
to, Of Georges cutting down the
cherry tree, acknowledging bis trans
erosion, and receiving a full and
free pardon, besides praise and kind
caresses from his father. So Jim
actuated by SO noble an example
thought he would try the example
on. He supplied himself with the
Ratchet. and going into bis fathers
orchard, cut down some choice fruit
trees. He then coolly sat down to
await the old mans coming; and as
soon as he made bis appeara nee,
marched up to him with very i'm
portant air and acknowledged the
deed, expecting the next thing on
the programme to be tears, beuedic-
ton and embraces from the offended
parent. But sad to relate, instead
of this, the gentleman caught up a
hickory, and gave him an 'all-fred
lainiDg.'

RELIEF OF NEURALGIA AS this
dreadful disease is becoming more
prevalent than formerly, and as the
doctors have not discovered any
method or medicine that will perm /.
nently cure it, we simply state that
for some time past a member of our
family has suffered most intensity
from it, and could find no sure relief
from any remedy applied, until we
saw an article, which we republlsh-
ed recommending the application OF
bruised horse-raGish to the wrist, for
the cure of foot haehe. As neuralgia
and toothache are nervous diseases
we thought the remedy for the one
would be likely to give relief to the
other, so We made the application
and we're truly gratified that the
simple application of horse-radish.
bruised, and applied to the wrist on
the side Of the body where the dis
sease was seated, gave almost instant
relief to a severe attack of neuralgia.
Since then we have applied it several
times, and with the same gratifying
results. The remedy is simple,
cheap, and may be within the reach
of every one.

fowl, more, we fancy, on account
of its unpleasant vocal Characters

The writer in question speaking of
a destruction of wheat by mice,
which came under his personal OBJ
servation, says:
"Mice, as we'll as young rats,
require vegetation and water. At
dusk they come out, and out, at
the same time, comes the owl. No
doubt owls were created by an all
wise Providence to keep these YER

destruction of the wireworm, and the
toad for slugs. If it is not SO, we
should be eaten up. They know by
their instinct how 10 go about their

judge from the number of occupants. There are
now sixty one criminals under lock and key. Of
these there are ifty-two males and nine females
Among the latter there are four crazy women, one
in particular of whom is the most hideous looking
character to be imagined. Another is intimately
acquainted with every visitor and sees in each
friend Of her youth. Like green oasis in the
desert is the young and truly pretty Miss Maria E
Wells, among these hardened characters. Notice
was made of her crime and arrest some days ago.
She has been in q number of excellent families in
this city. and prison fare and confinement Ill BELTS

Mr.. Smith, the new incumbent of the Office Of
Jail keeper, has made some valuable improvements
in the arrangement Of the cells. Good and sub

leries snd AOorS are carefully washed and scrubbed
two or three times week. There are some hard
looking customers among the men, and also some
young boys who should be any where but in such
company. Had the citya work house in which to
place such offenders, It would be vastly better for
them aud for the city.

The Railway.

BALTIMORE 4 OHIO RAILRoAD.-The regular
monthly meeting ofthe Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
was very harmonious The aggregate increase in
receipts for January 1859 over 1885, was SO 662 CO.
The President, ]. W. Garrett, laid before the
meeting the results of the Convention of the four
great Eastern lines at Washington. This matter
excited considerable discussion, and the B. Il o.
Road evidently feels sore over the alleged violations
Of the old agreement by the other roads, especially
by the Pennsylvania Central Resolutions were
offered for annulling the agreement with other
roads, alleging that the Pennsylvania Road was
intruding upon the legitimate field of the Baltimore
& Ohio Company, taking of its business from
Wheeling and other towns, whose business should
go to the B. & o.; also, that the Pennsylvania road
had granted free passes to drovers in order to Sc
cure the stock trade.
Mr.. Garrett explained that by the Pittsburgh ar
rangement the B. & o. road had secured goods
from Pittsburgh to the East He announced that
'this road will still further extend its efforts on
connecting lines into sections more directly per-
tanning to the competing roads which have en-.
deavored to divert trade from the proper geograph-
ical range of the Baltimore route"
The agreement between the four lines, as moli-
fed, was re-afirmed. D
As the Pennsylvania Road has undertaken to
interfere with the business legitimatey belonging
to the B. & o. Railroad, it is the intention of the
latter to retalliate by appointing agents at all the
principal points in the Northwest to secure trade
from that section for the B. i o. R. R.
This is move of some interest to Cleveland, as
this city will be the seat of the main agency for re-
ceiving the Lake trade. The move does not look
like harmonious working of the agreement be-
tween the four lines.
