A Man Saved by n DOg-WOnderful
Instinct.

AS Mr.. Sylvester Scribner, Of Salisbury,
N. H., wat returning home from his work
in the woods. on the afternoon Of the 31st
ult, his attention was called 10 his dog,
which every two OF three minutes would
Jump OF TO its hind feet, and int"ntly look
away into the forest, would listen as ii to
some sound, and then utter q low cry
The dog repeated this singular act several
times, until at last Mr.. Scribner stopped
his team, and listening, he heard a confus-
ed soUnd-whether human or not, he could
not tell
Leaving his team he started in the di-
rection Of the sound, the dog cheerfully
preceding him, and often looking back
to learn ii his master was following. On
they went through the woods until Mr..
Scribner was satisfied that the sound came
from q human being in distress, Hurrying
toward 1t with all possible haste, his sur
prise may DO imagined when, on suddenly
coming into a low valley, he discovered
one of his nearest ~neighbors, Mr.. Robert
5. Batchelder, crushed under the trunk OF
an ash tree. eighteen inches in diameter.
The poor man could hardly a~rticulnte.
One thigh was terribly broken, the bone
protmding aud the wound bleeding. The
other leg was crossed over the broken one,
anu buhll DIulhths OtutI Dhllh OF ulh
body were also injured. In his despair
the poor man had worn his fingers nearly
TO the bone in vainlS attempting 10 dig
into tho frozen earth and thus ease his
suffering limbs:
MIR. Scribner went Immediately to work
TO rescue the poor man, and after display
ing almost superhuman strength he Mt last
succeeded in getting Mr.. Batchelder from
under the tree. He then went for his
team, and placing his neighbor on the sled
carried him to his home with all possible
dispatch. The distance was about two
miles, aud on reaching it Mr.. Batcheldor
was but just alive. Prompt remedies par
TALLY restored him, and he has since been
gaining, and there are hopes OF his final
recovery. He stated that In falling the tree
II lodged against another, aud threw the
butt from the stump and struck him. II Ia
not probable that he could have lived mn
hour longer had he not been fortunately
discovered. He owes his life 10 both man
and dog, Mr.. Batchelder is one of the
most esteemed aud substantial citizens OF
Salisbury,

A Hnf Masnne In New York.

Weclip the following description of n
%riotous and disgraceful scene in New York
CITY, from the correspondence Of the Gin
cimlati Times. -
THE other and leading event was the Bal
Masque, aud whatsoever may have attended
the old quadroou carnival bal mosques in
New Orleans. or the bacchanalian orgies at
the Jsrdin Mabille, in Paris, may form q
faint idea how the abandon and gayety Of
the French may be improved upon by o
judicious mixture of the New York courte-
San and Bowery b'hoy. The New York press
has been unusually easy upon this public
outrage upon morality and decency, partly
in courtesy TO the feelings of the excellent
and numerous class of French citizens, m-
der whose auspices the affair was gotten
up, but who were not responsible for the
subsequent wild aud frantic abuse Of the
freedom accorded. II is perfectly safe to
assert that such performances were never
before witnessed, except within the pre-
cincts Of Sausage Row, or at the lowest
dance-house in any city ON this continent.
A description of 1.-THE of the wild license
of that night ut the aristocratic Academy of
Music would disgrace the columns Of a
police gazette. AS il was announced and
fully expected to be n brilliant and recher-
che affair, and inasmuoh NJ II wasa mRsque,
largo numbers Of the fashionable and re-
spectacle were in attendance, and more
gorgeous and altogether magnificent spec
tacle OF costly and elegant costuming was
seldom II ever seen in New York. Pecuni-
arily aud senaationolly, therefore, the thing
was n great success. But neither the price
Of admission on the aristocntic pretenBion
of the ball ever kept the demi-munde AWAY
IN New York; and as the admission TO this
was only FIVE dollara, and but few precau-
cautions were taken In regard 70 its lespec-
liability, thnt class were there in immense
majority. In fact the stars of the evening
were l%oretto, gamblers mistresses, keepers
Of ladies' boarding houses, and ballet peo-
pie.
The Can-Can was, as one paper announc-
ed, nationalized among us with a ven
geanco. As the wine and whisky got in,
modesty went out; aud it was dancen in the
ballroom, and in the refreshment room, on
the tables in private boxes, and up stairs, in
the bar-room, in the most frantic and exag-
/ gerated abandon. Women in the costume
of the French spy and in the fg-leaf style
of antiquity, were carried about on the
shoulders ofdrunken jewellers; yells, shorts,
oaths and slang rendered night hideous;
and the immense police force in attendance,
when not engaged in the exercises them
selves, with difficulty prevented serious out
breaks. 1t is fair to conclude that before
this climax was reached the better part
of the guests had Dispersed, yet such was
the crowd, that no diminution was visible
at 2 o'clock, and room for dances could
scarcely be. made on the floor. A Bowery
b'hoy who enjoyed the whole thing hugely,
remarked to me that If it had lasted an
hour longer there would DO q general smash
up.

THOSE who wish to see how many and
eminent examples may be cited in favor Of
reputation Of national debts, and how in
genious and plausible IN argument can be
made in support Of such a policy, ought to
read the pamphlet of Mr.. Butts, late of
the Rochester Union. He says; mo largo
national debt has ever beon paid, or dis
charged, except by reputation.
The debt, then, OF the United States, iii
please God, and the bond-holdeis will be-
have themselves as mon possessed OF bow
els, shall form an honorable exception to
this rule Tho Taxpayers will pay the
debt once, provided an attempt be not made
to make them pay it twice. They will pay
it once, II they DO not 30 few in number,
and 30 poor, by reason of the exemption Of
the rich f,om taxation, that the burden
prove not greater than they can bear, Con-
sidering that the government is daily guilty
OF reputation in the payments of soldiers
widows and orphans, and OF bounties TO
soldiers themselves, the bondholdeIs should
have a wholesome fear of pubic indigna-
ton aroused by schemes OF wholesale swim
ding, Win they take justice and take
their bond2"
The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1869-02-12

The republican newspapers in New York
are yet busy in proving that Governor Fen
ton il a very bad man, and that Senator
Morgan IL no better man than Fenton.
The success which they meet in this en-
terprise ia really surprising. The facts and
circumstances daily presented to prove that
these men ought TO DO in n penitentiary,
are 30 numerous and convincing that he
who may believe worst OF the official cor
ruption now prevailing in this country, will
hardly have imagined 1t to have alta ined
such proportions as are disclosed in the
Morgan-Fenton war.
The political opponents of Senator Nor
gan, a few years ago. gave him credit for
integrity. He has grown corrupt in the
United States senate. He could mol with
stand the temptation to which, under re-
put lican profigacy, he was exposed by h 9
office. He but followed the custom of his
fellow-senators of the ruling party. They
engaged in Legislative jobbing. They
bought others and sold themselves. All OF
Morgap's political associations since be be-
came senator have helped to debauoh him,
the proof that he has reHorted to bribery
to retain his seat is proof that as senator,
he has sold his Office when ha could gain
by 30 doing.
