SPECIAL NOTICES.
To Passengers Going East.
Great Reduction of Fare via the Michigai
Southern and Lake Shore Route.

We call the attention of our readers TO the
announcement of a great reduction of fare
from Chicago to New York and Boston. ria
the Michigan Southern and Lake Shore Rail
roads. In the present instance, as has hither-
to been the case, this line is the first to give
its patrons the benefit of the very lowest
rates, while its accommodations remain such
as TO cntitle it To the first choice.
Three trains pass over the route daily each
way between Chicago anu New York. These
all make close connections at Tole.lo, Dunkirk
and Buffalo-there being no ferries-transfers
being..made in union depots, and the trains,
which ase links in through line, accommo-
dating themselves to one another. The high
est comfort. as well as the utmost dispatch is
secured. For example: passengers leaving
Chicago at A. NJ, can, if they wish to enjoy
perfect repose Gu route, or to travel in privacy
with their families or friends, take drawing
room car, (Which the Michigan Southern line
was the first to introduce,) being transferred
| at Cleveland. without confusion or expense. to
an equally elegant sleeping-room car and at
| Rochester resuming the drawing room car on
the New ork Central. At Dunkirk, however,
they have choice of routes, connecting there
Cor at Buffalo, with the Erie Broad gauge line.
The train which leaves Chicago at 400 z. NJ :,
has sleeping cars attached to Cleveland, al
which place passengers take comfortable and
elegant day cars, with the same choice OF
routes as before. This train, reaching Toledo
ria the "Air Line" is the favorite fast train
reaching New York at 7 o'clock on the Sec
ond morning.
In general, those who wish to avoid the in
conveniences and not infrequent delays of the
| North Shore route. and to enjoy the highest
| comfort of travel, and the attentions of cour'
teous officials, should take this popular route
| on which, as we said at the beginning. they
will enjoy the earliest advantages of low rates
| of fare.

THE ACTING PRESIDENT.-The fOls
lowing statement Of the situation as it
may soon exist is from the New York
San.
If President johnson is removed, Ben
Wade will not become President. He
will be simply the presiding officer of the
Senate, acting as President of the Uni
ted Sta,es. If he should cease to be a
Senator and the President of the Senate,
he would thereby become disqualified to
act in the higher capacity. The Senate
may choose temporary chairman or as
sistant presiding officer to perform the
duty in Mr.. Wade's absence; but if it
should proceed to choose new Presi-
dent in his stead, the Senator so chosen
would have toIact as President of the Uni
ted States, and Mr.. Wade would have to
give way to him. But while he is thus
only the acting President, he exercises
all the powers of the office just the same
as though he had been elected to it by
the people. 1t is also manifest from
these statements that his acting as Pres.
ident will not vacate his place as Sena-
tor from Ohio, and no new election to
| fill that Office can be valid

A HEROIC ACT.-The Troy Times re-
lates the following act of heroism on
the part Of fireman on the New York
Central Railroad:
son Saturday last Stephen Hefferman,
n fireman of the Central railroad, per-
formed most heroic act by which he
saved the life of a little child who had,
with companion, strayed upon the
track near the first mile post on Green
Island, and been deserted by her larger
comrade when the train came along.
The little girl sat on the rail paralyzed
with fear as she saw the pondelous en-
CINE bearing down upon her, threaten
ing instant destruction Hefferman saw
the child, and at the risk of his own life
climbed over the engine to the cow
catcher, and as the locomotive came up
on the hopeless little thing, he reached
down, snatched her from the track, and
lifted her uninjured upon the engine |!
The act is worthy Of all praise, and re-
fleets the highest credit upon the cool
ness, courage and humanity of the
young man who SO nobly rescued the
child from death"

CUlhOUH's FUDiify.

Edward A. Pollard, in a recent article
upon the distinguished Carolinian,
states the following facts regarding the
family of the deceased:
" At his death he left five sons and
two daughters, all grown up, and of
these only the eldest daughter is now
living. -Four sons died of consumption
within short period of each other, one
daughter of fever, and the eldest son
who had attained middle age, died of
apopleXy during the recent war. Only
the widow and daughter are left in oc-
cupation of Fort Hill, the old homestead
embowered in trees near the banks of
Seneca, and formerly looking over many
hundred acres of rich river land in the
highest state of cultivation. This resi-
dence, once the seat of the most elegant
hospitality, and thronged with noble
company has, of late, been sadly invad-
ed by the sheriff's officer and the auc-
tiOneer and many persons have learn
ed with painful surprise that to satisfy a
paltry debt of few hundred dollars the
library of the dead statesman was lately
sold under the hammer, being the only
property that could be offered by his
poverty-stricken family, without de-
priving themselves of the necessities of
life. The house and land were not sold
as, happily, by military order of Gen.
Candy, there, is reserved from eXccu-
ton to every family in South Carolina
house and twenty acres of land attach
ed to it. The proceeds of the sale of the
library, one of the choicest private col
lections of books in the South, were pit.
iful indeed. Whole shelves OF books
from four to six dollars shelf; and then
other personal property had to be sold
to exc out the claims of the creditors"
