Thh Goodness and Bravery of Priaters. -
There was quite number of printers on
board the ill fated steamer New World and,
as it has been stated that this class of men
exhibit ereat GOODNESS and bravery in the
time of trial on the battlefield an1 in all
sorts of disasters, so it you'd appear they
did in the recent calamity on toe Hudson
river. One printer set good example at
the start by his great GOODNESS, and also
showed much bravery, according to one ac-
count, in junping into the first small boat
which, before proceeding far, was found 10
a sinking condition from wide open Leaks
He took off his hat and used it as baiing
lade until the boat was put back to the sink
ing steamer and the party on board again.
Another printer devoted himself to ''sooth-
ing" the females, VITO were panic stricken
SHOW Jag an equal amount of calmuess. -
And when the schooner which came along
side, was about leaving, he bravely Jumped
from the sinking steamer and caught fast
hold of her rigging. These printers are in
valuable men in time of peril

Adlar gives the particulars of distressing
casualty that occurred in the family of Mr.
Samuel Troutman, at Host, in Tulpehoccon
township, recently. Mr.. Troutman was sit
ting at table with his little son Israel look
ing over book, after the other members of
the family had retired to bed On finishing
the book, they rose to retire too, aad Just
as the boy stepped from his fathers side he
received shot which en- tered his heart,
through the left shoulder blade. The shot
came from gun which his elder brother
found at the head of the stairs, and, not
knowing that it was loaded, had poiated it
at his brother and pulled the trigger,
in sport The poor little fellow called twice
for his mother, andfell down dead. he was
six years, nine months and seven days old.
This is another sad example of the danger of
placing firearms, particularly wheo loaded
within the reach of children.
