A SAD STORY.
A Romance of the Oneida DIsnste

Romance Of the Oneida Disaster.
"Mack.' theWashington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, recites the following pain
ful narratives
In conversation with very intelligent and
accomplished lady from Maine few days Lince,
/ learned the following facts which throw the
shadow of q sad romance over the Oneida dis
aster. Commander Williams the highest officer
on the vessel, and one of the lost, was a widower
of something less than forty, and the father of
two bright little children. In May last he con-
tracted an engagement for second marriage,
which was to have taken place very soon after
the arrival of the Oneida in this country
believe it was fixed for the middle of April. He
left the United States for Japan in June last
and just before his departure he was one of a
dinner party at which my informant and the
afianced bride were also present. Had he re-
turned safely he would have known q fate
which his brave heart would not have met with
the cool courage that faced death at his post on
the quarterback. Since the 1st of January his
two children and his intended wife have died.
When he left Japan he had not heard this sad
news, but supposed he was coming home to
meet them ali in health and happiness. SO to
one, at least, of the gallant men who went down
in the ill-fated steamer, death cannot be called
disaster.

There was a fall in real estate on Wednesday
night in South Worcester, Mass. Certain build

A pole was thrust down thirty feet in search OF
solid bottom. Several rods of the street there
once before sunk down nine or ten feet with
similar abruptness. Holding landed property
| thereabouts IS somewhat unsafe.

HEROIC CONDUCT.
Trnin the Pennsylvania Railroad Pre-
served by n Boy not Ten Yenrs Old.

Trnin on the Pennsylvania Railroad Pre-
served by n Boy not Ten Years Old.
Last Saturday morning about twenty minutes
past nine o'clock, one and half miles west of
Altoona, as the pennsylvania Central Pacific
Express" going west, was rounding curve on
the mountain side at rapid rate, deep preci-
pice on one side and high impending rocks on
the other, a wee lad was seen ahead waving his
hat and tossing his little arms aloft. The train
was stopped within few feet of mass of rock
and dirt upon the track sufficient to have thrown
passengers, engineer, and cars over the preci-
pice. The lad, whose name is Willie Cahko, not
ten years old, had seen the fall and fastened to
signal the approaching train.
While this act of forethought and humanity
in one so young and mountain-bred deserves
especial public record, and will ever be source
of satisfaction in his after life, yet we have no
doubt he will receive from the railroad company
a more substantial recognition, as he would
have done from the passengers had they known
at the time of his providential interference.
Mr. Thomas Watt, the conductor of the train,
was highly elated and gratiGed at this worthy
specimen of Pennsylvania's youthful benevo-
lent forethought. All honor to the mountain
boy, Wilkie Caho.
The company cannot do less than provide
for the education of this boy, and give him a
start in life.
