PIC-N1C.-Two OF the schools con-
nected with the German Lutheran
Churches in this city, spent yesterday
on the Island. AT an early hour in the
morning they marched in procession
10 the Fair Grounds, with banners
and flags flying. Two excellent
bands furnished the music for the
occasion. The children and those
OF larger growth entered into the
festivities common TO such gather
ings, and returned to the city in
the evening well pleased with the man
ner in which they had passed the day.

LARGE FUNERAL.-The remains of
the late John Goshorn were followed
TO Mount Wood Cemetery, yesterday,
by large concourse of relatives and
friends. The Masonic display was the
most Imposing in numbers seen in
many years In this city on similar oc.
casion. Aged members of the fraterni
ty were in the procession who had not
participated in such services in a long
time. The grave has closed over anoth-
er link between the past and the pres
ent, and but very few remain of those
who were identified with the early his.
tory of our city.

Boy LOST AND FOUND.-Yesterday
a small boy named George Winesburg,
wandered away from bone, and his
disappearance caused no little excite

residence. Moss the bell-ringer, was
sent forth with his bell to make due
proclamation of the occurrence, and
while travelling along John street In the
performance of that duty, had the satis-
faction Of coming across the object OF

The success of Washington at Tren-

the turning point in the war for our
Independence. Yet very iow are,
perhaps aware upon. how slight an
event that great, critical action was
made to hinge I On the Christmas
eve when Washington crossed the
Delaware, Colonel Ruhl, the COM
mander of the Hessians, sat in a pri-
vate room near Trenton, engaged i'll
drinking wine and playing cards. a
tory. who had discovered the move
ments of the American troops, sent u
note to the Colonel, With orders to de-
liver it into his own hands. The mes
senger found his way to the house,
and a negro opened the door, sbut re-
fused him admittance', took the letter
and delivered it to the Colonel, who
was just shuffiing, for q new game
Supposlng it to be uhiihportant, or
not stopping TO think iat all, heWent

letter would have Inverted the plans
of General Washington, but the love
of play conquered the Coloneps pru-
dence, and gave success to q :wOrthier
cause, involving the loss of his life
and army, and ultimately the freedom
of the colonies. 81 az G1liai Sc Ues

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Yesterday afternoon, a Swede who
was working upon Sturges' new ele-
vator fell into one of the bins, dis
tauce of fifty-fve feet striking upon
the timbers at the bottom. His com
panions supposed, of course, that he
was killed, and one ofthem descended
with rope, with the view of hauling
up the lifeless and mangled body of
he unfortunate man. In few mo-
ments, however, up came the supposed
dead man, on his feet, unscathed, with
the exception of q few Insignificant
bruises. His only anxiety seemed to
grow out of fear that his boss would
be angry with him for causing an in
terruption ofthe work. He was soon
handling his tools again, as lively as
ever. AS a fallist that man is Aertain-
ly n success,--Chtedgo Journal, Oct, s,

e Exc1r1Na c1r SCENE IL. AT AT A f FAIR.

+. p p o. T.
Twelve ladies appeared to contest
the prizes for. equestrianism at the
late Decatur, Q,linois) Horse Fair, one
of whom, ,Sallie Wilkinson, of Nyantic
had her. saddle removed, and mounted
bareback, just before the horses were
sent off for scrub race. The word
was given, and in an instant every
horse was under full run, the ladies
were applying the whip, and the air
was filed with hats, ribbons, laces and
:" fixinsY which have no place. on the
race-track. The maid of GNyantic
gave her black horse the whip, and
soon passed the rear horses, and then
the middle group, and was in the act
of taking the lead when her horse
stumbled and fell upon the grass at
the edge of the track. She was up
before him however, and had hold of
his bride, when four or five men
sprang over the guard and held him
while she mounted from the ground.
AS the horses were nearing the grand
stand the lady riders cut the air with
such swiftness that their long skirts
foated over the backs of the horses.
For some distance no change had ta-
ken place, each doing her level best,
except with the Nyantie maid, on the
bare backed steed, who quickly took
advantage of the clear place on the
pole side, and rapidly passing one af-
ter another, came under the string
neck -and-neck with the third horse,
and only a length of the lead. The
young men cheered and yelled; the
young ladies applauded with their
fans and 'kerchiefs, while the tears ran
down their pretty cheeks; the old peo-
pie, in many cases, embraced each
other in their joy, while the thick
tongues in their choking throats mur.
INJURED in broken syllables, "tNyantic!' ~

AN AMUSING INcIDENT.-During
our last conflict with Great Britain, a
number of our troops were engaged in
repairing the shattered Notifications
at Niagara, and while so engaged, the
enemy commenced apretty sharp fire,
so that it occupied nearly all the time
our forces had to keep on the lookout
for the enemy. Finding they did not
make much Roadway they stationed a
SON of the Emerald Isle to give warn

it. This the sentinel faithfully per-
formed, alternately singing out .:.sLotp

HOW TO BREATHE,

The action of respiration should
never be carried on through the mouth
"God breathed into mans mostrils the
breath of life" The correctness of
the inspired writer of old is fully sus-
tanned by modern philosophy and
physiology. The mischievous habit
of carrying on the the action of respi-
ration through the mouth instead of
the nose is the origin Of almost all the
the diseases of the throat and lungs
and even of consumption ITSELF
Medical writers tell us that the ex-
cessive perspiration to which some
are liable in their sleep and which is
SO weakening to the system is mainly
the result or sleeping with the mouth
open. Whether you walk, sit or read,
write or sleep, keep your mouth shut
except when engaged in conversation
or necessary vocal reading. e".
The philosophy is this. The veloc-
ity of the blood through the body, and
the heat of the body ITSELF depends
mainly upon the quantity of atmos-
pheric air taken into the lungs. Ma
ture measures that quantity by the
nostrils, not by the mouth. When
the mouth is employed the measure is
too great, but just sufficient when the
nostrils are nsed. An excess of air
over heats the body, while its passage
through the mouth otherwise injuri-
ously affects the throat. +, The habits of
children in this respect, should be
carefully watched and regulated.
Open mouths produce vacant and
unseemly appearance, and may be re-
garded as very sure precursors of
habitual colds and sore throats.
