A NOBLE BoY.--On W Wednesday evening
of last week, as a little boy was returning
home from school in company with his sis
ter, he discovered a huge rock on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, near Conemaugh station.
Knowing the loss of life that would ensue
if the train, then nearly due, should run
into it, he seized red hood from the head
Of his sister, and running up the track,
signalled the train, just in time to prevent
a dreadful accident. The lad who showed
so much foresight in performing this noble
act is only 10 years old, and We are pleased
to hear that he has been suitably rewarded
by the Company.

MIsPLACED CONFERENCE.-THE Holli-
daysburg Register of last week says, that
4 good -natured son of the Green Isle,
named John Girvin, spent several days in
that place recently, picking up stray dimes
on the strength Of a note of recommends
ton from the Rev. Mr.. HARRISON, of Eb-
ensburg, setting forth that John was a
worthy object of Christian bcnevolence,
&c. John, however, betrayed the preach
er's confidence, for John got drunk-de-
cidedly drunk-and wound up by getting
into the hands Of some bad boys, who put
him through, in style anything but
agreeable, even to drunken man.
John evidently did very wrong. But
perhaps John himself was a victim TO mis-
placed confdence-by putting his trust
in Hollidaysburg whiskey. However, he
only did as many before him have done.
As for instance: A strapped jour"
travelling westward, once upon time
called at our office for work Work was out
of the question. Couldn't we give him
something to help him along ?' Where
upon, we disgorgcd to the amount of four
bits. After the spclter had been fairly
fobbed, this brilliant representative of the
art preservative, with cosmopolitan grace
and elegance, requested to be pointed to a
place where he could ''get his quart filed"
The cases are parallel-only, John waited
until he had gotten out Of town before
going on a drunk, while the gentleman of
limited income did not.

EULoGY.-We forgot last week to notice
the delivery of the eulogy on the life and
character of Michael McCague, decd, by
our friend, Robert \. Mccoy, ESQ, before
the Ebensburg Lyceum. Those who had
the pleasure of hearing it-and all the pity
is that so small an audience was present
pronounce it a mastery effort.

DIED-At the Walton House, near
Ebensburg, on the 9th inst, Mrs. Maria,
wife of Maj. Gideon Marlett, aged 81 years
and 3 months
The deceased was highly esteemed for
the many good qualities of her head and
heart. She was, indeed, an affectionate
and dutiful wife, kind and indulgent pa
rent, an obliging neighbor, and a friend to
the needy. She has now gone to reap the
reward Of these virtues. We sympathize
with the bereaved husband and children
who mourn the loss of one so near and
dear to them.

DIABoL1cAL OUTRAGE.-An outrage of
the most fiendish and diabolical nature was
perpetrated IN Carroll township on Friday
of week before last. The perpendicular
lrlshman named James Morris-was en-
gagged IN teaching school near Carrolltown,
and the victim of his hellish lust was lit
tie orphan girl aged only ten years-one
OF his own scholars. Measures were imme-
dlately taken to have the inhuman mon
ster arrested, but he fled ere they could be
carried into effect. Morris is about thirty
five years of age, blind of one eye, and
speaks with a strong Irish brogue. 4
large .reward is offered FOR his apprehen-
sion, and it is devoutly to be hoped that
he will be brought to justice.
