A NOBLE ACT-THRILLING SCENE.-On
Monday last young boy, son Of Mrs.
Forest, living on Riddles banks, near this
city, had occasion to take his aunt across
the dam Of Jessup s. Moore's paper mills
to the east side of the Brandywine creek.
On returning, owing to the strong wind and
high freshet, the boat became unmanage-
able, and was carried over the dam breast.
Providentially, the boat, as it was rushing
down the rapid water below the dam, struck
upon the only rock in the creek whose top
was above the water, and here young Fo-
rest scrambled, and thereby was saved from
immediate drowning. The people soon gath
cred for the rescue, but the question arose as
to how the boy was to be saved from hisperil-
Gus condition. At that moment lame
boy with crutch came forward and said
81 can fetch him off," One of the by
ISLANDERS objected, until his father, Patrick
Mulrien, who was present, said "Let him
GO; yeu can't drown that boy" A rope
was procured, and young Mulrien, with
rope and crutch, went to the rescue. After
feeling the water little, he threw the
crutch ashore, and manfully plunged into
the rapid, rushing flood of waters, headed
for tho rock in the middle of the creek,
where sat the half drowned, chilled, and
frightened boy. Mulrien swan round and
round till he got through the eddying wa
ter and on the Ice side Of the rock,
where he scrambled up, tied his rope
around young Forest, and with his feet
had to push him off the rock into
the seething, boiling current, as the
boy stubbornly refused to leave the only
place of safety, being benumbed with cold
and afraid to face the dangers of the rapid
food again. The men soon pulled him
ashore, where kind hands ministered to his
wants. The trouble then was how Mulrien
was to get back again, as he still sat upon
the rock, and looked quietly at the people,
then at the rushing flood. lie prepared
himself for the plunge, and after circling
round the partly covered, dangerous rocks,
directed his course down the creek, made
Roadway with the current, and very soon
gained the shore, some distance below the
scene Of the DISASTER Wilmington (DeI.)

oUrTTAL OF THE ACCUSED. - Cumberland
May 1.-THE jury in the case Of Mrs. Row.
land and the negro man Carroll, indicted
for the murder of Mrs. Rowland's husband
returned a verdict Of not guilty. The jury
was out about fifteen minutes. ri, Tsr~ )
The victim In this case was murdered in
his sleeping-rpom on the night Of October
Is, 1868, having his skull crushed with
some heavy instrument, and was SO found.
He was . well-to-do farmer, living about
three miles from Hagerstown. An attempt
WAS made to try the case in Washington
county in March last, but on account Of
difficulty in getting jury it was removed
to Allegany county. Mrs. Rowland was a
Miss Geluicks, is about twenty-six or
twenty-seven years old, while her husband
WAS forty-four, she being his second wife.
She is delicate and modest In appearance.
The negro man Carroll is large and brawny,
a dark mulatto, and one-eyed, and seemed
restless and uneasy in court. The testimony
in the case was not in any way direct.
Mrs. Rowland was attended in court by her
father and mother.-Special dispatch to the

The LAST AND BEST VELoCIPEDE.-The
rocking-chair velocipede, invented by q
Lansingburg man, has been tested by the
"local" Of the Troy Times, who says:
"The new machine is three-wheeled
vehicle, and weighs about 100 pounds. The
rocking-chair Tin which til e driver sits and
propels the machine) is placed between the
forward and back wheels, and is connected
with rod to the crank in the axle of the
hind wheels, which gives it the propelling
power as the chair is rocked backward and
forward by the occupant. The steering
apparatus is attached to the forward wheel,
and the whole operation of gu iding and
running the machine is very simple and
almost exertionless. We believe this ma
chine is the only practicable one in the
velocipede line yet introduced to the
public, for it can be operated upon any or
binary road at q speed of at least ten miles
an hour, with little or no fatigue to the
rider. Last evening very experienced
velocipedist attempted to follow it upon thu
ordinary bicycle, but was unable to kee' +
up with it, and confessed the superiority 'oi
Mr.. Hawkins's invention over anything ne
had ever seen. The rocking chair yelo' Il
pede is adapted as well for ladies as for &c n.
tlemen, and promises to be something m ore
than mere plaything for idle boys and
sportive men,"

GENERAL THOMAS JORDAN, THE CON-
NANDER OF THE CUBAN EXPEDITION
General Thomas Jordan, who has gone out
in command of the expedition to Cuba, is
an old West Pointer, and one Of the most
accomplished officers of the late Confede-
rate army. He served as chief Of staff to
General Beauregard during the first three
years of the war, and was with him at
Charleston and Vicksburg and in Virginia.
He has been living in New Jersey, near
the city, until the beginning Of the Cuban
outbreak. Since then his presence at va
rious places on the coast, and particularly
at Charleston and New Orleans, has been
noticed, and always in connection with some
rumored movement in favor Of the Cuban
cause.
General Jordan is man Of medium
height, spare in form, and with quick,
nervous manner. He has an intellectual
head and features, and fine eyes, and when
Oft duty is exceedingly courteous IN de-
meanor. During his military days in the
South, though, he was often accused OF
bruequenegs, and had the reputation IN the
army of being Martinez. That ne Is
thorough soldier by instinct and education
cannot be questioned. He saw and particl-
pated in some of the hardest fighting Of the
late war, and, aside from his own merit,
mad the advantage Of long, personal IN
tetcourse with General Beauregard, who
was certainly one Of the first military en-
g.neers of the war. Ii Jordan has half OF
chance in Cuba he will make hlmself
1amous.-Neto Yorlc World.
