MARROW EscAPE.-Twob boys, residing
in South Wheeling, went on board a
raft near Capt. Wilson's saw mill, a few
days since, to engage in that captiva-
ting sport-fishing. While thus engage
ed, one of them in changing his posi-
ton, stepped overheard and Immediate
ly Disappeared. His companion ran TO
the spot, and AS he rose to the surface,
seized him by the hand and hauled him
on board. But for the presence of mind
displayed by the little fellow, another
case of drowning would have been
added To the long list of such occur
rences in this locality. The lad that
made so narrow an escape is ten or
twelve years old, and arrived here but
very recently from Germany. The 9TH
or boy was about the same age.

White Pine Compound
The white Pine Compound.

sit was early in the spring OF 80 that this
compound was originated. Amenlber of my
throat attended with a disagreeable cough.
had for some months previous thought that
a preparation having for its basis the inside
as to be very useful in diseases OF the throat
and lungs. To test the value of It in the case
alluded to, 1 compounded n small quantity
OF the medicine that I had been planning,
and gave 1t in teaspOonful doses. The result
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
ed, the cough subsidized and a speedy cure
was efiested. Soon after this, sent some TO
lady in Londonderry, N. H., who had been
Occasioned Icy a sudden cold, and had raised
mucus streaked with blood. She soon found
relief am sent for more. She took about
ten ounces Of 1t, and got well. j. b. Clarke,
Esq, ed tor OF tho Manchester Daily Mirror,
made trial OF the Same preparation in the
case of q severe cold and was cured Immedt-
ately. He was so highly pleased with the re-
suits, and SO confident of success attending Its
sales, II placed before the public, that ne
finally pursuaded me to give IT name, and
send 1t abroad to benefit the suffering. In
November, 1855, hIst advertised II under
the name of White Pine Compound. In two
years from that time there had been whole
sailed in Manchester alone one hundred dol
lars worth, where 1t took the lead of all the
cough remedies in the market, and IL Sill
maintains that position. There Is good rea-
son for this; It IS very soothing ana healing
in its nature: is warming to the stomach and
pleasant withal 10 the taste, and Is exceed
Ingly cheap.
"As remedy for kidney complaints the
White Pine Compound stands unrtValed. 1t
WINS not originated for that purpose, but a
person in using 1t for a cough was not only
cured OF the cough, but was also cured OF a
kidney difficulty OF ten years standing. Since
that accidental discovery many thousands
have been completely cured" 45
The above was written by DR.. Poland, In
1850. Since then, as in Manchester, the
White Compound has taken the lead of all
Cough remedies, as well MS preparation for
the cure of Kidney difficulties, in every city,
town, Village and hamlet throughout the
New England States.

Horace Mann used to tell

-Horacc Mann used to tell a
story of conversation he once had
with an inmate of the lunatic asylum
at w forester, Mass, whose peculiar
mania resulted from an inortlinate de-
velopcment of the bump of self
esteem. whats the news, sir? Has
anything unusual happened of late,
SIR? inquired he, with a consequent
tial air. Mr.. Mann, happening to
recollect that a furious storm had oc-
cured few days previous, gave him
some account of it, mentioning that
on the sea coast it was very severe,
several vesse's having been driven
ashore and wrecked, with the loss of
many lives. Can you remember, sir,
what night in the week all that hap
pened? eagerly cnquired the listener.
Mr.. Mann said he believed it was the
night of Tuesday. "Ah!" said the
lunatic, with an air of solemnity,
mingled with triumph, and lowering
his voice to whisper, Il can account
for it, sir. That was the night
whistled so."
