Atlantic and Great Western r. R.

We have already noticed the opening
of this road to o point seven miles beyond
Meadville, in the direction of Akron,
which is expected, will be reached before
the close of the year. The Atlantic and
Grrat Western connects with the New
York and Erie. and is in reality but an
extension of that line. The capital to
build it was furnished by the British bond
holders of the Erie road, in order to rem
der that line independent of the Lake
rout, which is dominated by the New
York Central. The road will shun the
two leading cities of PennsylVania-Pitts-
burgh and Erie-and is inimical to the
State, Philadelphia, yet it will, perhaps,
benefit Meadville and a few other villages
in Western Pennsylvania, by making
them way station on n great through route
between New York City and the West,
and it will give an increasd value TO all
the land on the line of the road. Phil
adelphia will also be put thereby in more
speedy communication with both, by the
Pittsburg and Erie road and the Philadel-
phia and Erie. both of which cross the
Atlantic and Great Western-the one
near the Ohio border, and the other near
that of New York State. The Pittsburgh
and Erie will be purely a Pennsylvania
road, and of great use to Erie, Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia, as well as to the coun-
try traYersed by it.-PitSbUrgh Chronicle.

any one, as a consequence, have been
charged with all manner of petty crimes,
and assailed with all the unpleasant cpl
thets that imaginary wrong could extort
from afflicted women They have never
theless gone steadily forward, discussing
the money, according to their best judg-
ment they may have erred in some in
stances,-'to err is human But if they
have erred in this distribution, we have
the consolationo of believing the errors are
of the head, and not of the heart. They
now ask the people to take this matter of
their hands, and that each township, as
above suggested, provide literally for the
families within its own limits.

Frightful Fall and Extraordinary
Escape.

ASSH
On Thursday morning, about III o'clock
a colored boy named Charles Brown, about
IA years old, employed at the Angler
House, was sitting on the bannister in
the fourth story of the hotel, swinging
his feet. By some means he over bal
anced himself and fell backwards, falling
headforemost down the well of the circu-
lar stairs, "a distance of fifty feet. He
touched the corner of "A step Once in his
descent, and on nearly reaching the bot
tom struck the back of his head against
the corner of another step. At the bot
tom of the stairs, On the ground floor, Is
a table where candlesticks are placed in
the evening. On this table the boy fell,
striking full on the top OF his head, and
bounding off to the floor, where he lay on
his face. Mr.. Bedell picked the boy up
and placed him on a chair, the blood flow
ing In "A stream over his face and neck,
and spirting out against the wall behind
him. A bystander remarked that the
boys neck was probably broken, at which
he put his hand up to his neck, and cool
ly remarked, 81 can't soc it." Then, to
the establishment of every one, the boy
got up walked off, washed his face and
head, and went about his work as if moth
ing had happened. To-day he is going
about just as well as ever, with the ex-
of a slight cut on the back of his
head.
Brown is a remarkable lad. He is a ma
tive of this city, and when he 18th Bat
terry went South he went with them as a
to Lieutenant Smith. He was at
the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing, and re-
manned in attendance on his master dur
ing that fight, as unmoved ss if only on a
parade. He came back from the
South u short time since and has been in
the Angler about two weeks. He says
coming down stairs at such a very
double quick" and marking time
with his head on the steps, will do for
once, but it is hardly the thing to practice
very often.-Qev. Herald.

SMALL NorE CURRENcY.-The question
is often asked, Is the small note, or shin
plaster currency to which the community
is driven, in harmony with the provisions
of law. Judge Sawyne has recently an
swered this question by a decision in
which he holds that the act of congress
prescribing penalties for issuing notes of
a less denomination than one dollar, in
tended to circulate as money, to be I'M
constitutional, and that no prosecution
for s1ch circulation can be instituted
A charge of Judge Nelson to a New York
grand jury, was to the same effect.

they are not only sustained by the pray

you thank him to pray night and morn

10 feed you. Impious are the prayers of
him who will not answer them himself,

this matter practically. What are our

not begin TO feel the horrors of this war,
we are pursuing our various avocations in
comparative quiet. Why are we thus Sc

one then interest him or herself on this
subject, and it will become a pleasure,
rather than burden, thus to contribute.

shall have passed away, you may welcome
