We have from day to day mentioned in
the 1r0reHef the prevalence of an unusual re-
ligious interest in many of the towns and cities
in this State, andthe conversion of great num-
ber of persons. As the result of these revivals
large additions were made to the churches yes-
terday, and especially TO the Congregationaiist
and Baptist churches, with most of which it
was the regular bi-monthly communion. We
have received reports from many Of these
which are given below. The add:-
tons arc the results in part of the work of grace
during the past winter, though in some of tho
churches there have been large additions at
previous communions. and large numbers are
expected to unite with them on the first Sabbath
in July.-BoSton TrdceNer.

A NOBLE BoY.--The following Incident
in the fatal collision Of the Niagara With
the '.Postboy'' on the Mississippi, was re-
lated by an eye witness: ''.
The two steamers struck, and the Mag
ara Immediately careened. and began to
sink. The widest CONSERVATION WAS at
once universal. Ladies rushed to and fro
with piercing screams, hut no means seem-
ed at hand, and each sought his individual
rescue. -
At this fearful moment negro boy-one
OF the crew-was seen quietly lashing a
long and stout rope around his body, at the
other end tying stick OF wood in its cen
tire. =.=5-..= =.
Instantly. with this apparatus, he threw
himself into the river. Turning upon his
hack, the stick drifted to the ropes end
and calling upon two ladies' who stood on
the edge of the boat--one with child in
her arms he urged them to spring aud
catch either end of the stick. Horror
stricken they hcsitated. The negro lay
calmly on the waves, and in tones of conf.
dcnce told them it was their only hope, in
sisting that he would carry them safely to
the shore. For another instan they hesi-
tated but. gathering courage from his self
possession, and realizing that it was their
last moment, they took the leap, and both
succeeded in grasping the stick. Turning
quickly to prevent their seizing him, tho
heroic fellow struck out with strong mus
cles, for the land. The rapid current was
well nigh resistlcss but he wrested man
fully with his burden. The energy of
despair kept them to their hold, aud at
length their feet touched the bottom.---
Both ladies, with the clnging little one
were saved. Many witnessed this feat
1t is only exhibited by cool. unparalleled
bravery. but was wholly disintercsted. as
both ladies were strangers 1t should be
added that the boy left his own trunk. with
his best clothing. and three hundred dol
