No more delightful travels are printed in the
English language than appear perpetlally in
Hdrpers Magazine. They are read with equal
interest and satisfaction by boys of every grade
from eighteen to eighty. Its scientific papers,
while sufficiently profound to demani the at
tention Of the learned, are yet admirably
adapted to the popular understanding, and de-
signed asmuch to diffuse correct information
concerning current scientific discovery rs it
could be if it was the organ of the society for
the Diffusion of Useful knowledge" The great
design of Harper's is to give correct informa-
tien and rational amusement to the. great
masses OF the people. There are few intelli-
gent American families in which Harper $
Magazine would not be an appreciated and
highly-welcome guest. There is no monthly
Magazine an intelligent reading family can less
afford to be without. Many Magazines are ac-
cumulatel. Harper's is edited. There is not a
Magazine that is printed which shows more
intelligent pains expended on its articles and
mechanical execution. There is not a cheaper
Magazine published. There is not, confessedly,
a more popular Magazine in the world.-[New

LosT-THREE YEARS IN COUNTY In
FIsYARY.-About two weeks ago gen.
tlen,an Of our acquaintance passing our
County Infirmary, saw boy who once
possessed considerable intellect though
now slightly non compos. at work in
the front yard. Hearing the boy called
John, he addressed him by that name
and ssked after his health. The boy
replied by saying II know you:" Mr..
R. said II guess not" but the boy
insisted that he did and called the
gentleman by name and asked him to
stop and see him. he did SO and dis
covered him to be his cousin
The boys history is as follows: He 10
an only child and an orphan, was born
and raised in Philadeiphia, and had
never lived elsewhere until lost, which
happened three years ago. Since that
time the Rev. P. K. McCIue and eothers
nad been looking for him in vain. He
says that he was bright boy until some
time in his youth, he was injured by
falling against stove. The boy seemed
overjoyed at the prospects of getting to
his friends and Mr. r. assured him'
that If he had kno vn where he was, ne
would have relieved the County OF ex-
pense long ago. The Superintendent
said thst the boy was sent to the -in-
from Bellaire, about three years
ago and that he had been robbed OF his
money and put. off the cars st that place.
Would it not be generous to advertise
the subjects of such misfortune. Verify,
we might find many Smike at home
and careful examination might ,iiscover
\ Squeers.

A Case of HydrOphObia i'm Brooklyn, n. Y.

The passengers in the gentlemen's cabin
OF Fulton ferry-boat, on the passage to
Brooklyn, about half-past five o'clock
Thursday afternoon, were surprised at the
antics of u handsome and well-dressed boy
of about thirteen or fourteen, who had been
noticed for some time looking with dread
and horror at the water through the cabin
windows. But when he suddenly howled
like dog an inkling of the terrible truth
came over them and one gentleman called
aloud, gentlemen, that boys got hydro
phobia.n Two stout men seated near the
lad had presence of mind enough TO seize
him instantly and keep him in his seat,
whilst the rest of the passengers gathered
round in dumb pity at the horrible fate
threatening the little victim. On the ar
rival of the boat in Fulton ferry slip on the
Brooklyn side, two stalwart policemen APP
peared and took the boy to the station
house in York street.
On the way up Fulton street and out
York a large crowd followed the officers
and their stricken little prisoner. The Off
GERS held him tightly by his wrists and
kept one thumb each pressed against his
cheeks to prevent his biting them, while a
third officer cleared the sidewalk of the
gaping and plying throng. The little fell
lows eyes were blood shot and his face red
and flushed with agony and exhaustion.
At every three or four PAGES he would howl
or bark and attempt to leap forward like a
dog, or he would try to snap at the police
men who had him in charge. At the sta
ton house all persons wree excluded, but
the curious throng remained around the
dens for some time. The officers were I'M
able TO find out the boys name or residence
or any further facts connected with him.
