HEROIC SACRIFICE. - A few days since
one Philip Gould, a colored man, came to
Spring Mills, Pennsylvania, to attend a
picnic of company of colored soldiers
from Camden, and while standing near the
railway, saw just as the Reading express
was rounding curve and dashng down
upon them with frightrul speed, five ladies'
standing upon the track. With wonderful
presence of mind, and with utter disregard
for his own safety, he violently pushed
them all over the edge of slight
embankment, at the foot of which
they were in perfect safety, but in safety
attained only at the cost of their preServ-
er's life. Gould was struck by the engine,
tossed over the smokestack and fell GU the
tender, from where he rolled to the ground,
horribly mangled and quite dead. Heroes
are not over plenty in these degenerate
days; but this gallant fellow saved five
lives by the sacrifice of his own.

DR.. OTIs F. PREsBREY.-Refer
to the consolidation of the internal revenue
districts, 9and to the new list of supervisors,
the Washington Republican Of this morn
ing thus speaks of the gentleman whose
name heads this article: ..
DIR. OTIS f. Presbrey, who has been SUI
peryisor of the Dh trict, was dropped from
the list, not on account Of any personal hos
tility to him, by Senator Lewis, as has been
represented, but because he was from New
York State, already accredited with a su-
pervisor on the new list. The best COM
pliment that couH be paid supervisor Pres
brey would be to show the great increase
which has taken place in the revenue re-
ceipts from Virginia under his adminstra-
ton of affairs. He retires from public SER
vice with the highest Endorsement that
could be given him that of having been
honest, earnest, and jealous in the dis
charge of his duties as supervisor" a

CARELEssNEss OR FIENDIs HNEss.--
1t is said that yesterday morning. as the
mail train on the Richmond and Petersburg
railroad, which leaves this city at A. NJ,
was about one and a half miles beyond
Manchester, a bullet passed through one of
the windows, cutting clean hole as it
passed, and making its exit through an open
wm1ow on the opposite side. The Rev.
Mr.. Bennett, of the Methodist church, was
on the side to that from which the ball
came, and it passed in front of his face and
just back of the head of stranger as it
went out. On learning the facts, President
Wynne and conductor Hoffman proceeded
to the locality with the intention of ascer-
tanning the perpetrator Of the dastardly deed,
if possible, but were unable to gain any
intelligence leading to his discovery. -

LOCAL MATTERS.

The RICHMOND PAPERS ON THE
GRAND RALLY The city papers Of yes
terday made the following comments upon
the Republican demonstration on Wednes-
day: .-r-f4 S.. ,....a.. .. ..ua .r a
"The beginning of the demonstration
was made at the City Springs Park yester-
day afternoon at Al o'clock, where one of
the greatest crowds of people ever assem-
bled together in Richmond for poltical pur-
poses were gathered. A stand was erected
at the lowest point on the grounds, and
was draped with the national colors and
ornamented with an infinite number of
chinese lanterns and small United States
flags. T M.* So far as
we are informed there were no sort of dis
turbances. The crowd in the Spring ground
in the afternoon, probably numbered 5000
--one. third OF whom were women. The
crowd on the street at night, was cstima-
ted at 10, 900. "-Eaquirer.
st (the crowd was variously estimated
to number from 5000 to 5000 persons,
wedged close together beneath one of the hot
test skies we have had this summer. '
AT every step it seemed to gather recruits,
till when it marched up Main in brilliant
and nproarious column, there seemed to be
at least 10000 either in procession or ac-
companying it. Over thousand Chinese
lanterns, inscribed with the names of Grant
and Wilson, lent their variegated lights to
the long line, and considerable number Of
transparencies were also borne in the pro-
cession. Wing. ,.. tas0t ae'"'
Il The Republican ratification meeting at
the City Spring, Park of yesterday afternoon
was one of the largest pol itical assemblages
ever seen in Richmond. :
As they marched along the ranks were
swelled by constant additions until the pro-
cession was one o. great length and breadth.
Numerous transparancies were exhibited
and the display of rockets, Roman
candles. red-lig6ts, &C., was unusually
fine. The crowd was most enthusiastic
and Notwithstanding the large number of
spectators Of opposing politics on the side
walks there was no disturbance of the
peace. The demonstration was in all re.
spects orderly, and reflected credit upon
those who managed it. "-Dispatch.

MRS. NEALEY, of Washington, well
known as an accomplished writer, draws
for us picture of farm life possible in vir-
ginia. She gives charming account of a
trip among the blue hills of our State:
"We are beautifully situated at a farm
house nearly hundred years old. The
sun rises in front of the place over the
brow of Mill Mountain, and sets over high
ridges at the back. The days are very
pleasant, and the evenings so cool that we
cannot sit comfortably out of doors. We
sleep every night under blankets"
The rhododendron, which in Washing
ton is costly plant, here grows wild in
abundance, A large bouquet of them al
most fills up the small window before me.
Then there are the mountain laurel, the
wild pea, and many other flowers upon the
mountains, while the meadows are brilliant
with wild roses, tiger lilies, yellow day
lilies, meadow lilies, hanging their lovely
heads like the fusehia, and feur-de-lis, and
white water lily upon the river. "
We have fine Chalybeate Spring near,
and also White Sulphur and Powder Sui
phur Springs. There is an alum hill in the
neighborhood, and the whitewash which
CLEANS upon houses, fences, and porches is
made of a pure white clay few miles away,
which in France would be converted into
the finest Sevres China,
The fresh milk and butter, and the rich,
sweet cream are such luxuries that we shall
all be spoiled for future life at a Washing
ton boarding-house. just think of peaches
and preserves and thick, sweet cream for
tea, and cream upon your pie for dinner
And such pies don't want to make
your mouths water, but cannot keep it
to myself. If you want comfort, friends,
don't go to public watering place. Seek
summer home in a Virginia valley. where
you can wear calico dresses and roam the
woods at your leisure.

his high position he takes no part in the

frank and unreserved in the expression of
the opinion that the election of Greeley
would be detrimental to the business in
terests Of the country. For this reason he
prefers Grant.
