A singular Story,

A wonderful instance of rescue from
drowning occurred at Athens. Tuesday.
The facts, as we have gathered, are these;
A boy about eight years old fell inM a
hole in the A hens channel, a short dis
tauce from the new icehouse, which is
building. He was seen to 60 down, and
the alarm was given. While some ran to-.
ward the spot. others had the presence of
mind 10 run in the opposite direction to
the tool house, three hundred feet off, for
an ice>chissl. The ice was Transparent,
and they found the boy floating along uu-
der the ice. hole was made. but he
passed one side and they could not reach
him. A second and third hole, further
down, was made, but with no better sue
cess. But through the fourth hole, which,
for want Of time, was made very small
a young man thrust his hand aud caught
him. The ice was cut away and he was
taken out. not cnly alive but conscious
lie was soon entirely restored. He had
floated, as was f und by measurement
one hundred aud twelve feet, under the
ice. with his face up and rubbing agains
it. He mus, have taken a full inspiration
OF air on going down; and the little fellow
was taken out with his hand tightly clasp
ed over his mouth and nose, so that no
drop of water had entered his body |

"What medicine can any leech's art
Yield such sore 2"

In these times when the epithets
"Traitor" Enemy to Government" &c.,
are so freely applied to all democrats,
by those who would not save the Union
if they could, unless they can do it so
as to abolish slavery, which they make
a primary object, it ID refreshing to the
faith of al! true patriots to review the
position of the Democracy in days that
have passed. In May, 1856, the Demo
cratic state convention at Detroit passed
the following, which it is said was re.
ceived with enthusiastic applause"
"Resolvsd, That the trainers of the con.
stitution designed to render the Union
lndissoluble and immortal, and the de.
fence of the union against all enemies,
foreign and domestic is the highest in.

Life Insurance.

We are glad to see that this subject
which is of the greatest interest to
every man of family, and which is be
coming SO popular and so generally
patronized both in Europe and America,
is also duly appreciated in our own city
and that many of our citizens are avail
ing themselves of the privileges which
it offers.
One of the most prosperous Life In.
surance companies in the world is the
New York Life Insurance Company, OF
New York, whose travelling agents, Mr..
G. b. Doughty and Mr. II. Z. Lilli.
bryce, are now at the Bancroft House,
where they would be happy to take the
applications of those wishing to insure,
or to consult with those who wish to
more fully understand it's objects and
inducements. DIR. G. A. Lathrop is the
medical examiner for the company.
The "New York Life" offers espec
cial inducements by its non-forfeiting
policy, which meets the views of all
those who have Investigated it.
The New York Independent edited
by Henry Ward Beechor, speaks of
this institution as follows:
New YoRK LIFE Insurance Co.-Tbe
eighteenth animal report of this popu.
lar and prosperous corporation is now
out, to which we invite general alton.
ton. Scarcely another institu ton of
its character in the country can make
an equal show Of strength, or of official
falthfulness and skill, and it's friends
may feel justly proud of it's high posi-
ton. While we, voluntary, thus speak
as an act of justice, due equally to the
institution and to the community, we
are happy to say that this is one of a
few corporations which needs no news
paper commentator, and which neither
fair competition nor most searching ex.
animation can damage. To prove this,
we have only to say that it has issued,
we understand, thirty-three hundrcd new
policies during the past year-a greater
number, it is said, than has ever been
issued by any similar corporation in this
country or in Europe during the same
period of time.
1t will be seen by the above that no
Company in Europe or America, has
ever equaled the amount of business
done in the same length of time, that
was done by the "New York Life" in
the last year-having issued and re
ceived the premium on 1902 policies,
and accumulated capital Of 81, $780,.

New YoRK April 10.

NEW YORK Aprli 10.
The 1ribanes special account Of the
Charleston fight says the squadron ar.
rived off Charleston on the morning of
the 5th, and spent the day in examine.
ing bars and channels, wind being to
high to cross. That evening the ADM.
raj disclosed his plan of attack, which
was to sail directly up and attack the
northwest face of Fort Sumpter at GOO
or 500 yards. About 8 o'clock Mon.
day morning the signal for uoving was
given, and the vessels started slowly.
In consequence of the fog, however, they
were obliged to postpone the intended
attack till next day. During the after.
noon one of General Fury's brigades
worked its way up Folly Island and es.
tabllshed communication with the feet,
but no portion Of the land forces got in.
to the fight on the 9TH. At Ais p.
NJ, the fleet got under weigh and pass.
ed Morris Island batteries without be.
ing fired on, pushing right on towards
Sumpter. The New Ironsides worked
badly, and in consequence of the cur
rent was obliged to anchor two or three
times. Fort Moutrie opened first up
on the Weehawken, which was within
FIVE hundred yards. Cummings Point
Battery, Fort Sumpter and Battery Bee
Immediately opened and the action be-
came general aud terrific. The Moni.
tors still pushed on, replying vigorously,
and passed the Northeast face Of Stump.
ter when they discovered three lines of
distractions holding torpedoes, &C., one
of which exploded, but did no great
damage. Finding it impossible to get
across the distractions, they turned
about and steamed down the harbor.-
The Patapscos 200pounder had be.
come disabled, and the turret of the
Passaic so bent that the vessel was
practically out of use. Other boats,
also, passed up to the Northeast face of |
Sumpter till they, also, were stopped 10y
distractions and turned back. After
being under fire three-quarters of an
hour all the Monitors were ordered
back, and at five o'clock the entire fleet
was out of range and action ceased.
