MARROW EscAPE.-As the Grand Trunk
train was moving out of the depot yesterday
noon, in order TO make way for the Boston
train, which was coming along soldier
standing in the depot, supposing that the
former train was departing, attempted TO
jump on the ears. He missed his hold and
fell on the platform, over the edge of it, so
that the steps of the cars, four in number,
struck him and pushed him along. 1t was
the greatest wonder that he did not fall from
the platform, In which case he would have
been horribly mangled by the wheels. No
one was in that part of the depot to pull him
out OF the way when he fell, and the rapidity
with which the cars moved, made the whole
affair the work of an instant. After the steps
OF the last car had struck him, he arose, but
could hardly stand. Although struck with
great force in the small of his back, no bones
were broken. The spectators at little dis
lance, who observed the accident, expected
nothing less than to see the poor fellow roll
under the cars.

A Noble Purrose.

In these shoddy times, when even men or
dinarily reputed honest seem to think it no
violation of moral principle to take advantage
OF their countrys necessities to enlarge their
own Golfers, and when government property
and government money are too much regar-
ded as common plumber, and when by many,
it is feared, the war is looked upon as god
send to fill their own pockets, it is refreshing
to meet with such sentiments as the follow
ing, copied from private letter of Maine
Colonel in the field, written to his friend with
no view to or expectation of publication:
An officer would be deserving the contempt
oil his soldiers--and sure to have it-were he
to use them for the purposes of gain. The
Government pays me for my best services, my
men are entitled to them at all times, under all
circumstances. Besides, it is principle with
me that tciH not make a dollar above my
'eoges while in the employ of the Government.

MIRROR OF THE REBELLIoN.-Notwith
the bad walking, there was quite a large num-
Der present at the new City Hall last evening
to witness the opening of Gen. Perham's Mir
ror Of the Rebellion. This Illustrated Mirror
of the War has been very highly praised by
the critics of Boston, where it was exhibited
for long time; and they did not praise it too
highly. 1t is the most interesting exhibition
Of the war ever presented to the public.
There are about forty different scenes, all of
them lfeke. The delineator, Mr.. Josselyn,
explains each scene as it is presented TO the
audience, and the interest is intense from first
10 last.
Were there no other motive than 10 see a
beautiful and perfect illustrated history Of the
war, we would advise every citizen to go and
to take his wife and children with him. But
in addition to seeing this, those who go will
be adding to the fund which Gen. Perham is
raising to found National Home for the
invalid soldiers, one bali the proceeds being
devoted for that purpose. Those who pur-
chase dollar ticket, which is good for four
admissions, viii come in for chance for a
share in property Of the value of about
$4,000, which will be distributed to such
ticket holders.
The next exhibition OF this beautiful paint
ing will take place this evening at the new
City Hall. There will also be an afternoon
exhibition tomorrow, at 3 o'clock, to accom-
modate ladies and children.

LARcENY.-Monday last, DIR. ID. II. Porter
Of BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, passed through this city
on his route TO Boston. While at the Boston
depot, he had occasion TO leave the car mo-
lnent, and on his return discovered that his
carpet bag, containing dental articles Of the
value of $500, had been stolen. Yesterday,
Z man named John Wall, residing on the corn
er of Bracket aud Beach streets, applied at
the Office Of DIR. C. II. 0sgood, for the pur-
pose Of selling artificial teeth. A lad named
Horace M. Davis, son Of police officer Oliver
III. Davis, was in the Doctors Office when Wall
applied. He knew OF the robbery, and went
into the operating room and informed DIR.
osgood that Wall was probably the man that
stole DIR. Porter's carpet bag. Police officers
Foster and Robinson were sent for, and they
detained Wall until they had searched his
house, where they found the carpet bag of
DIR. Porter, with all its contents. Wall was
taken to the lookup. It has been noticed that
he has been proving around the Western
depot for some time back.
