\ REMARKABLE FGNCE.-Ihe fencing
around the site of the new post-ofice build
ing at New York, opposite the Astor House,
was leased a few days since for two years
for advertising purposes. The bids, over
two hundred III number, ranged from $500
to $4,000. The successful competitor was
regarded as having paid a price entirely
too high to save him from loss. That this
idea was n mistaken one is evidenced by
the fact that on Tuesday last Mr.. Bonner
paid $500 for The privilege Of its exclusive
use n single day.

ALExANDRIA's TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND
At the meeting of the Alexandria city coun-
ellis on Tuesday night resolutions were in
troduced expressive of sympathy at the
death of Secretary Rawlins. The first re-
solution declares, among other things, that
the councils acknowledge his just anil
kind disposition towards the people of Vir-
ginia as manifested in his endeavors to re-
store the State to her place in the Union
without unnecessary annoyance and degra-
dation." The last clause of the resolution
was objected to, as an implied censure was
reflected upon some one else, and a motion
was made to strike it out. The council re-
fused to DO so: but when the resolutions
were sent to the board of aldermen they
struck out the Objectionable language, and
the council subsequently, concurred.

timber was hurled with such violence
against lis head that his skull was badly

A few months ago an engineer OF an OK
press train on the Pennsylvania Central
railroad going west discovered an engine
npproachinc him at such q rate Of speed
that he was az once convinced that it was
without an engineer. He instantly whis-
tied his breaks down, at the same time
sending his fireman back to uncouple his
" tender" from the train, while he at the
game moment uncoupled his hose and en-
pine. and opening his throttle wide, with
lis red flag jumped back on his tender.
He lust looked back and saw his train
nearly stopped, and on dashed the two en-
qiucs toward each other like very demons
He broke up gently on his tender, ana
finally stopped It, and in GREATNESS silence
watched for the collision. The engines
came together, throwing each other clear
off the track, and smashed all to pieces.
lie left his tender, and with his flag ran on
to meet the express going east. II being
two minutes behind time, he had just time
to " flag it," and it was brought to a stop
within a few feet Of the wrecked engines
and one Of those terrible accidents was
avoided. Need we say that for this heroic
act the company presented him with a cheek
