From the Nt,o York Times.
During tue past week, . bit Of romance has
occurred in the Children's Aid Society, which
hardly seems to belong to this mattar-of-faot
age. a number Of yeara since, the reports Of
the Society gave an account OF sad event in
Brooklyn. 4 woman had been murdered.by her
drunken husband, and kind lady Of that city
discovered three Wretched little children weeping
over the -corpse-two boys and girl. They
were utterly friend1ess, after the arrest md i'm
pFlsoDment OF the father. The tWo boys we're
brought to the Newsboys' Lodging-ho in
New York, and the girl temporarily sheltered.
At length the Society sent the two lads to homes
In the West, and the girl was adopted by q
gentleman OF property, near the city. The lat
ter never knew that her adopted father was not
her own. The boys have now grown up and
acquired property-one being druggist and
the other farmer. They have been extremely
anxious to communicate with their sister, and
have been in correspondence with her guardian
for some time. During the past week they re-
visited the city for the first time-very we'll
educated young men. in good circumstances.
They visited the Girls Lodging-house, the
Newsboys', and other institutions OF the
Society. The adopted father Of their sister con-
sented that they should see her in his Office,
provided they did not disclose their relationship
as she was only fifteen, and he wished her to
suppose herself his daughter, 30 that her
affection might not be weakened for few years
longer. She is to inherit his property They
felt the propriety Of this, and had their inter-
view with her. lest week, without discovering
their relationship, ind then returned well

Old HafR.

So long as 1t will hold together, q hat, be it
never 80 shapeless, retains certain value in the
eyes Of the experienced ra5picker. Those Jow-
ish perambulating merchants, whose melancholy
monotone Of sod clio :" is as familiar to the
Inhabitants of London as is the sight Of tho
chifonier's hook and bag to the denizens OF
Paris, will seldom refuse to invest their
copper capital in hats. Those ill-treated
cylinders, crushed frayed, and dim, are
carried off to be rejuvenated, in frowsy back
shops. by dark-eyed MIiams and hook-nosed
Josephs. It is wonderful to mark the transfor-
nation which the cunning touch OF these man
ipulatorB can effect; or how their glue and
brown paper, their peach-black and dyed rabbits
fur, can ttiffen and s1narten the mangiest old
chimney-pot into the sembIance Of its glossy
prime. An old hat refreshed at this perennial
Fountain Of Youth is really . very creditable
work OF art. No Old Master, worm
eaten and chocolate-hued, disinterred
from q garret in Ghent, ind furnished for sa1e
to millionaire purchasers in England, could be
touched up with lighter hand or more trembling
care. There it is at last-brighter than new,
sleek, trim, oily, the eprucest ifnot themost dur
able of hats. 4 thing Of beauty it is, but not
for long destined to be a joy to its sangune pur-
chaser. Among the things which they man
age best in France are certainly old hats

Singular Verdict in the Case Of a Com
ductoT Charged with Nanslaughter.


The ground on which the Rochester jury has
just acquitted 3 railroad conductor, indicted for
manslaughter, in causing the death Of passengers
through negligence, are not calculated to afford
much consolation to the travelling public, how
ever satisfactory they may be to stupid conduo-
tors. 1t seems that the Judge charged the jury
that the conductor Downing by name) Mas
bound to use care, to the best OF his ability,
in running the train, and that he was en-
titled to the benefit Of all doubts. The
jury thereupon rendered q verdict Of "not
guilty, and gave as reason for the verdict that,
IN their opinion, Downing had no ability to run
train; that he had no Judgment worthy Of tho
hausted In performing 6 his duties. The public
has long. been accustomed to the stereotyped
verdict Of nobody to blame" in railroad acci-
dents, but this, We believe is the first instance
in which the author OF an accident has been &C
quilted from blame On the ground that he had
not brains enough to make him responsible for
his acts. Travellers will be curious to know
whether Downing is to be taken back into the
employ OF the railroad company. He must be
an Invaluable conductor to railroad corporations
that desire to evade the penalties Of slaughter
ing their passengers.

Abiding to the report that in BonaTista Har~
Dor gigantic cuttle-fsh vas captured, measur-
extremity Of the tail, and having bill the top
OF which resembles that Of the largest eagle, and
the under part that Of q parrot, q correspondent
Of the St. John IN. F. Telegraph says:
If the captor Of this thirty cutie could
have procured enough rum to preserve it (no
easy job certainly, it would have BEEN q for
tune to him. Barnum and Agasaiz would have
bid against each other furiouBly for possession
Of the creature, and the managers OF the British
Museum would hare sent out an agent to COM
pete. Perhaps the highest bidder Of eli, pro-
vided he is in pocket just now, would have been
Victor Hugo; as he could confront the world
with this, and prove that his celebrated devil
fish, in 'The Toilers Of the Sea- is no fanciful
fiction, and that fact is stronger than felton,
That some specimens OF the cuttle-fsh have at
tanned enormous dimensions is well established.
There are well authenticated instances Of divers
in the Indian Seas. having been caught in the
long, 1.-the arms Of this fish, with their cold adj
hesive powers, and held by tho monster in its
clammy embrace until Life WAS extinct. Nothing
can be more horrible and repulsive than one OF
these large cuttle-flsh with its dabby, corpse
like deshiness, it's nVid hue that comes and goes
so strangely, its uncouth agility aud its ghastly
green eyes that are enough to parylize its vic
tim. 1ts head protrudes from i muscular sao,
and is distinct from the body. The mouth is
armed with pair Of horny mandib1es, regemb-
ling the bill Of d parrot. Surrounding the mouth
are the tentacnlaf appendaBes or arms which
serve at once for Instruments Of 1ocomo-
ing. Of prey. They are eight in number,
each being supplied with q double row
Of sucking disks, which set on the principle Of q
oupping glass, and being applied to any surface,
adhere to it, at the will Of the animal, with such
force that it is easier to tear away the substance
Of the limb than to release it from its attach
ment. Each Of its eight arms carries 100 pairs
OF sucking disks. Finding out pair OF this ten
tacula, the cutter seizes its victin which in its
struggles, comes IN contact with more and more
less in the grasp OF his enemy, whose sharp,
horny beak soon tears it in pieces. /
am inclined to think that the corre-
Bpondent has not been accurate in his measure
This much, however, is certain-that gigantic
cutie has been captured, OF certain dimensions
sufficiently large to satisfy the most devoted
lover of the marvellous"

The Erie Road, because Of the change at Cliff

ten millions Of dollars for the construction OF a
railroad from that city nouthward into East
Tennessee. Delayed By litigation and other
embarrassing obstacles, tho Trustees have not
yet been able to finally agree upon the route.
They have felt, that with SO large trust in
their hands 1t was their first duty to obtain by
thorough SUI surveys az the information necessary
vantaseous route. Some four different Inca
have been before the Trustees, and all but the
one now being explored have been surveyed.
In all, the engineers have run over ten Thousand
miles, They have fully examined the advantages
Of all the lines aud when the route il finally de-
termined upon it is expected no subsequent
changes will be necessary or better line ever be
developed. When the route is finally agreed
both ends of the line. The surveys will be- all
completed by March and then the work vii be
begun in earnest.
