RowLY ESCAPE DROWNING
CoNEMAUGH, Nov. 3, 1868.
To the Editors of The AAeghanian:
Two persons narrowly escaped drowning
here yesterday. There is a footwalk across
the Conemaugh river in the rear of the
round house of the p. r. r. Co. for foot
passengers. Yesterday, about noon, a
little boy named Robert Wendall, aged
between 10 and II years, with his father
and another man, were crossing this walk,
when the boy fell in the river and was
carried down the stream a considerable
distance. He was rescued by Mr. +. Co
baugh, who brought him to. shore and
took him to the house of, Mr.. McKim,
where Dr. Wilson formerly of your town
soon restored him CONSCIOUSNESS.
About 3 D. IN. the same day, Miss Mary
Glasser fell from the same..walk into the
river. She was brought out by your old
friend Joe Henderson, formerly of the
Eb. & Cresson Branch Railroad. The
services of DIR. Wilson were again called
into requisition, and the young lady was
speedily restored.

and like faithful, sentinels, are watching
the chances of picking up a situation or so

advent of the new. A strong contest is
going on between certain Of the Family as
to who shall be key-carrier for the new
official Upton decides all controversies
relating to the public patronage of the
Family, and it is therefore likely that the
position named will be assigned to the
Chairman of the Committee on Pensions
and Gratuities, because as yet that indl-
vidual has received no reward for the in

canvass. The learned County Counsel,
who of late has been almost exclusively
devoted to the study of Ross-co on Mer-

with his usual modesty, and. there may be
other applicants. How this scramble will
be decided remains to be seen. [ would

HUMAN BODY PETRIFIED.-Itemsa ap-

Democrat Of cases of the bodies Of persons
who have been long dead and buried, on
being raised for removal and re-interment
found to be in state of petrifcation-cr
as the word means, turned to stone-and
in perfect preservation. Such was the
case in the instance of the removal Of the
body of a child from the Presbyterian
Cemetery of this place a few days ago,
after repose of thirteen gears. The en-
tire upper portion of the body from the
little thighs had returned to the native
"dust," nothing remaining to indicate the
form, of human being, while from the
thighs downward was the most perfect
model of the plump, beautifully rounded
limbs Of babe everything delineated to
perfection-perfect as in ifc,-yet solid
and white as Parian marble; even the
little shoes preserved upon its feet as at
the closing of the little coffin thirteen
years agol
