RUNAWAY AND NARROW EsCAPE-Yester-
DAY afternoon horse attached to wagon, be-
longing to MIR. William Davis, took fright on
Temple street and ran down the street at full
fail speed. In the wagon was little boy who,
when he saw the situation, laid down fiat in
the bottom of the vehicle. The horse dashed
round the corner of Middle and Temple streets
Just avoiding the lamp-post, but struck the
fore wheels against the curb-stone in front of
the Falmouth Hotel, tearing off the body of
the team and throwing out the boy, who was
caught most skilfully in the arms of the por-
ter of the hotel, who thereby probably saved
his life. The frightened steed continued his
mad career, bringing the fore wheels in contact
with the lamp-post by the 1st National Bank,
thus freeing himself from all membranes.
He was shortly after caught without doing fur

4 sad accident occurred at Hiram on Sunday
last. the particulars of which are as follows:
1t seems that three boys, from Ia to II years OF
ape-one the son of q Mr.. Clements, another of
a Mr.. Goodwin, and the third South Amer-
can lad who was being brought up in Hiram
at the expense of Mr.. Clark HI. Barker, of this
city-on Sunday afternoon went to battle in
the river near Mr.. Andrew Bucknelrs house
At least it is supposed so, as some persons
passing up the river in boat saw their clothes
lying on the shore and presumed that the bow
were hiding in the bushes. But on their re-
turn, some time after, seeing the clothes still
lying there they presumed the boys must have
game in to battle and been drowned. The spot
where the boys went in has flats extending out
into the river, with quicksands, and at the
edge of the flats the water flows yery deem. the
fats ending abruptly. The river was DRAGGED
for the boys, and up to last night we learn that
the bodies of the Clements and Goodwin bows
had been recovered, but nothing has been seen

A SAD STORY Soon TOLD.-Mr. Oh
iver Dyer and Mr.. Van Meter were
Oh their way to temperance meet
ing some time ago, when they heard
a voice of sorrow and distress from
the uper loft of a tenement house in
the Fourth ward. Directed by their
impulses, they ascended the rickety
stairs and found drunken man stand
ing in the center Of the room, and a
woman weeping by the window, and
little boy lying upon the floor
These gentlemen were informed by
the sad-faced and broken hearted wo-
man that her husband came home in
toxicated, and requested his boy to
60 down stairs and buy a bottle Of
rum. The boy had signed the pledge
in Mr.. Van Meters School for Little
Wanderers" and was endeavoring to
explain to his father what he had DONE
He did not refuse to obey his father;
he was merely demonstrating with
him, when the drunken brute struck
the boy blow which broke his neck
and killed him instantly. The man
was arrested and when he came to
his senses in his prison cell, he was so
shocked at what he had done, he be-
came afflicted with softening of the
brain, and shortly afterward he died
in state of idiocy. His wife, the
mother Of the dead boy, went to the
home of her mother and father in Yer
mont. That man who killed his son
was once merchant in the city of
New York; but he drank wine at par
ties, and encouraged an appetite which
finally overcame him, and he fell into
the lowest depths of intemperance,
which resulted in loss of property,
loss of character, and loss of life

What aiWoman sees in China.

We copy the following from letter
written by an American woman re-
siding at Foo Chow, to the Toledo
Blade:
The Chinese officials and men of
wealth live in affluence-dress richly,
and keep host of servants and re.
tainers. But the poor are very poor;
they work for very low prices, from
five to ten cents per day, and feed and
clothe themselves from those wages.
The wealthy are very indolent, and
impose a system of servitude upon
their employees which is many degrees
worse than even American slavery in
its worst stages could ever have been.
The peasantry aresquiet and industri-
Gus people, but seem to have no high
er aim in life but to make comforta-
BILE living on their farms, and propo-
gate their species. They destroy a
great many Of the female children,
hence the male population is greatly
| In the majority.
The laboring class in China, both
male and female, are literally beasts
of burden: they carry everything that
is used in building a great city, or in
carrying on the commerce of a great
commercial country, upon their shoul-
ders, by means Of poles and baskets,
or buckets on each end Of the poles.
The peasant women of China have
large natural feet. Their costumes
consist of wide pants reaching only to
the knee; loose sack reaching a lit
tie below the hips, belted around the
waist, and little white apron, half a
yard square, pinned on plain. They
do not wear shoes and stockings from
the knees the legs are bare. They
have no fires in winter to warm by,
but as the cold increases they put on
clothing until they are of an immense
size, and their bodies look like a bar
rel with a head sticking out at the top,
walking with bare legs and feet. None
but those who work in the rice fields
in the sun, ever wear any covering for
the head. The rich and poor all dress
their hair in the same style; neatly
combed in a low knot on the top of
the head, and these ornamented with
flowers and long hair pins or bodkins,
either silver or brass.
The women of China arc not tall,
but stocky and squarcly built, and the
working women very muscular. They
will carry with apparent ease, two or
three hundred pounds on their shoul-
ders. The small footed women are
unable to do any heavy work, as they
cannot walk without a cane to sup
port them. No man is satisfied unless
he has one wife with small feet, and
unless betrothed to one when children
by their parents. They will work
years to gain means to buy one, and
smaller the feet, higher the price.

New England characteristics.

The history of New England is
written imperishably on the face Of
continent, and in characters as benef.
cent as they are enduring. In the
Old World national pride feeds itself
with the record of battles and con-
quests; battles which proved nothing
and settled nothing; conquest whioh
shifted a boundary on the map, and
put one ugly head instead of another
on the coin which the people paid to
the tax-gatherer. But wherever the
New Englander travels among the
sturdy commcnwealths which have
sprung from the seed of the Mayaow-
CT, churches, schools, colleges, tell him
where the men of his race have been,
or their influence penetrated; and an
intelligent freedom is the monument
Of ConQuests whose results are not to
be measured in square miles. Next
to the fugitives whom Moses led out
Of Egypt, the little ship load of out
casts who landed at Plymouth two
centuries and a half ago are destined
to influence the future of the world.
The spiritual thirst of mankind has
for ages been quenched at Hebrew
fountains; but the embodiment in hui
man institutions of truths uttered bv
the Son Of man eighteen centuries ago,
was to be mainly the work Of Puritan
thought and Puritan selfdeyotion.-
Leave New England out in the cold
While you are plotting it, she sits by
every frcsidc in the land where there
is piety, culture, and free thought.
Faith in God, faith in man, faith in
work, this is the short formula in which
we may sum up the teaching of the
founders of New England. a creed am
pie enough for this life and the next
If their municipal regulations smack
somewhat Of Judaism, yet there car
he no nobler aim or more practica
wisdom than theirs; for it was tC
make the law of man a living coun
terpart Of the law Of God, in thciI
highest conception of it. Were they
too earnest in the strife to save thei
souls alive? That is still the prob
lem which every wise and brave maj
is lifelong in solving. If the deyi
takes less hateful shape to US thai
to our fathers, he is as busy with U
as with them; and if VIC cannot fin,
it in our hearts to break with a gen
tleman of so much worldly wisdom
who gives such admirable dinners
and whose manners are so perfect, s.
much the worse for US.

BEWARE OF THE TENPTER.-In the
tract on Drinking Usages, by Bishop
Potter, just issued by lhe National
Temperance and Publication Society,
the following thrilling fact is narrat,
ed:
A young man, Of no ordinary prom
ise, unhapily contracted habits of in
temperance. His excesses spread an
guish and shame through large and
most respectable circle. The earnest
and kind remonstrances of friends,
however, at length led him to desist;
and, feeling that for him to drink was
to die, he came to the solemn resolu-
ton that he would abstain entirely
for the rest Of his days. Not long af-
ter, he was invited to dine. with other
young persons, at the house of a
friend. Friend! did | say? pardon
me; he could hardly be a friend who
would deliberately place on the table
before one lately so lost, now SO mar
velousiy redeemed, the treacherous
instrument of his downfall. But SO it
was. The wine was in their feast.
He withstood the fascination, howev-
er, until a young lady, whom he de-
sired to please challenged him to
drink. He refused. With banter
and ridicule she soon cheated him out
of his noble purposes, and her chal-
lenge was accepted. He no sooner
drank than he felt that the demon was
still alive, and that from temporary
sleep he was now waking with tenfold
strength.
"Now," said he to a friend who sat
next to him, "now have tasted again:
and drink till I die." The awful
pledge was kept. Not ten days had
passed before that ill-fated youth fell
under the horrors of delirium tre-
mems, and was borne to grave OF
shame and dark despair. Who would
envy the emotion with which that
young lady, if not wholly dead to duty
and to piety, retraced her part in a
scene of gayety, which smiled only to
betray?
