EDS. HERALD II send your read
ers greeting from the banks of
the historic Delaware. On the Goth
of September l stepped on board
the train at Washington c. H.,
and we sped rapidly on our way,
through the rich and well cultivated
farm lands of Fayette, Pickaway
and Fairfield counties, and then
through the coal regions of Perry,
and on to GAINESVILLE, the terminus
of the G. & NJ. V. road. Here |
purchased a ticket for Pittsburg, at
which place l arrived next day at
II o'clock A. NJ, Here a through
ticket for Philadelphia was obtain
ed, and we were soon on our way
with almost lightning speed, now
passing through richly cultivated
farms, and now climbing the Allie
ghanies in zig-zag.. manner, and
now plunging into rocky bosoms;
in moment enveloped in a dense
and impenetrable darkness, and
again as suddenly rushing into
light as swiftly and instantaneous
ly, as it made its appearance when
OmnipOtence said let there be light
and there was light, So onward
we sped, carried safely and secure,
ly by the irresistible power of the
iron horse, who only, once and a
while, stopped in his headlong ca
rcer to slake his thirst by taking
copious draughts of pure water, to
retain his strength, his capaciOns
stomach having been filled and
warmed up by proper application
Of fire; and his strength being thus
renewed at times, he was enabled
to walk and not faint run and not
be weary. How the genius Of man
has triumphed over every obsticle,
making the stubborn elements Of
nature yield to his enjoyment and
prosperity; and thus it should be,
for all scientific attainments should
have for their object the ameliora-
ton of mankind. 1t is true that
much has been done in this direct
ion, and much yet remains to be
done; but, according to Wendell
Phillips, who lectured in Philadel-
phia few nights since, we have
not originated any thing, but have
only been availing ourselves of the
Fundamental knowledge that was
known even in the days of ancient
Greece and Rome, even in railroads
he showed that the fundamental
ideas were known to the ancient
Romans. If his views are correc
we truly have nothing Of which to
boast.
About six o'clock in the morn

confusion attending disembarking
takes place. Bus drivers calling
loudly and vocilerously here and

your ear, don't come to the United

SALT A REMEDY FOR FEVER AMI
AGuE. "A correspondent Of The
Baltimore American aays;
During Il recent trip through
several western states | mot gen
tleman who had used salt eXter-
nally for years as a preventive,
with entire satisfaction. A physi-
clan from Pittsburg told him to
wear some in his shoes, and he had
his stockings prepared by dipping
the bottoms in strong brine and
letting them dry, For ten years he

New Railroad Project.


An effort is now being made to
construct a new railroad, commenc-
ing at Dayton and running through
Wilmington, Hillsboro, Jackson,
&c, to'connect with. the Ohio Il
chesapeake road, thus opening
Dayton up to the vast coal and iron
regions of the South east portion
Of this State, and Virginia. Col,
Tumble thinks the road can be
built, if Dayton and Wilmington
will raise 100000. Dayton could
have a railroad communication with
the great coal lands of Straitsyille
and Perry county, by the construc-
tion of route between this place,
and that city, requiring only 2S
miles of new road from here to
Xenia, to complete the connection,
and three foruths Of this route has
already been graded.

- Great men, generally, wher
on their death beds, have some sen
timent to be handed down to pos

above idea, our estimable friend
the late Col. d. w. G. Loudon, or
his death bed, on the 9TH of Octo

generations:
"The venerable falsiller of the

surate with their own sense of i'm
portance. Life is too short to

THE SPIDER AND THE. FLY.
One Hundred and Fifty Dollars
worth Of Wisdom. >

Among the visitors to the city on
Wednesday was middle-aged, but gay
and festive gentleman, from an up-cOuntry
town, not thousand miles from the Lou
isvile and Nashville Railroad. He came,
he saw, like Caesar, but here the similitude
ends, for he didn't conquer like that hero;
for when he reached the city he had
plethogic purse when he left that purse
was fiatulated badly, in fact, it was defunct
in the abstract. Our friend viewed the
city and saw the sights, and thought it
considerable of place. In his rounds
he took a ''smash," then he took two
''smashes, and then feeling like veritable
Croesus, he imbibed sundry and divers po-
tations. He reached the acme of hilarious
merriment, and nightfall found him in the
classic precincts of the jungles. Here
his gallantry, which, mind We, is
prominent trait in his organism,
got the better of him. He found, or fam
cied he found, one with charms SO fair
that, had she lived in Troy, the name of
Helen had never been writ in Homer's
Iliad. 1t was the old story of the Spider
and the fly, and our hero, unmindtul of the
dangerous but gauzy net, allowed himself
to be regularly entrapped. The seductive
AouiS Low as IOSlly 10y, We may lndRluo,
with our salubrious friend, as they did
with the princely Absalom, when, in soft
dalliance, he played with the curls of SIN
dia's daughters"
But all things have an end, and SO did
the adventures of our friend. By the
morning light he realized his situation.
The alluring scenes of the night before
had changed to the bleakness of the loft of
"the house Jack built" Not sound he
heard save the echo of his own desolate
"yawnings" His gay companions were
gone, several pocket valuables were gone,
and his money, amounting to $50, So1s
ell gone! Yes, it had gone decidedly where
the woodbine twineth.
All his efforts, yesterday, to recover his
treasure were vain, and he left in the eve-
ming rather disconsolate. The facts are
not in the least colored, and the case is
but one of many such that occ ur continu-
ally in this and all large cities. Our friend
when he departed, consoled hi msef with
the remark that he had learned $3.50 worth
of wisdom. We trust that the lesson may
prove profitable one to him.

LEAP FOR LIBERTY

4 EEand-Cuffcd Convict at Large.
Quite an adventure, involving a leap for
liberty, while the sinews were fettered
/ occurred on the train of the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad as it was coming to
the city near o'clock on the morning of
the 10th inst. A Sheriff of one of the East
i Tennessee counties was bringing prisoner
to the city for incarceration in the Peniten-
tiary. He had been sentenced by the
courts, and being desperate character,
every precaution had been adopted to pre-
vent his escape. He was hand-cuffed,
placed in charge Of the Sheriff and started
for his destination. The convict, though
giving no signs of restiveness, was evil
IDENTIFY watching his opportunity. On
reaching a point near fifteen miles from the
city at the hour indicated and when the
train was in full motion, unobserved by any
one, he made the desperate venture, and
leaped from the cars. The train had pro-
ceeded near three miles before he was
missing. The engine was at once reversed,
and the train went back to the point where
be was last seen. Vigilant search was
made, and every effort resorted to to effect
his recapture, but In vain. Though heavl-
" handcuffed at the time he jumped from
the train, be evidently made a success of
it, and through the darkness and woods
made of. He left 10 sign of having been
hurt, or as to the direction he took. Not
withstanding the efforts to secure him, he
has not since been heard from, and unless
they may have been removed by some sym
pathizing party. he is still at large with his
handouts on. The Sheriff came to town
minus his prisoner.
