HERoIsM OF Boston PRIMA DoNNA.-Miss
Matilda Phillips, sister of Miss Adelaide Phil
lipps, has made herself famous abroad by her
heroic and successful endeavors for rescuing a
young American from drowning. Vague reports
of the affair have reached the country, although
nothing definite has been learned. In letter to
her sister Miss Phillips gives the following ac-
count of the adventures 81 didn't tell you, for
fear it would Brighten you, that while was at
Genoa Walter came very near being drowned,
and !, with little presence of mind, was able
to save him. He was out beyond his depth and
got tired. | was quite little distance away
from him, and although | made great haste to
reach him. saw him 20 under the water twice.

got to him just as he was sinking the third time.

got him to the ropes. He seemed almost dead
for nearly an hour. l felt more frightened af-
forwards than did at the time and had no
more courage in the water after that day Sew
eral gentlemen had seen him struggling in the
water and made no attempts to rescue him, al
though they were all kind enough after he was
on land. We are great friends ever since, and
he can scarcely do enough for me. / have had
beautiful letters from his mother and sisters,
and feel so happy to have done anything to
bring so much happiness to any one"

tucket, he removed his establishment thither,
where it gives employment 10 300 persons.
A little girl employed in one of the mills at
Central Falls, at the end of her first month was
paid off with new SO bill, the amount of her
wages. She took il, and after looking SORROW
full for a moment or two began to weep, saving
'that she had worked whole month, and she
knew she had earned more than one piece of
paper" The bill was taken to the office and
ten 81 bills substituted for it, when she went
home happy.
Elisha Peck and Charles Williams, sentenced
10 six and nine years respectively in the Rhode
Island state prison for burglary, made their
escape yesterday forenoon and are now at large.
Peck attended the evening school in the chapel,
and when it was dismissed he managed TO get
away unobserved by the officers, and secreted
himself in tank IN the cellar. Between one
and two o'clock this morning he went into the
corridor, land with piece of gas pipe knocked
down the officer on duty, Mr.. Benjamin Allen,
rendering him senseless. He then released Will
liams, and both together bound Allen and car
ried him to the cellar first taking his pistol, his
watch and other valuables. About four O'Clock
they rang the warden bell, which was answered
by Milton Shattuck, who was also Immediately
knocked down by the rascals, and they then
made their escape. Peck is 20 years old and
Williams is so.
A second investigation into the Metis disaster
was begun yesterday in Providence. The act of
congress in relation TO steamboats, requires the
local OF district board to make investigation
into cause of accident and conduct of officers.
As the first investigation was made by Capt.
Boole, inspector for New York, as well as by
the local inspectors, Beckwith and Hovey, it has
been decided that such board was competent
only to report the facts, and had not power TO
revoke licenses, which could only be done by
the local board after a special investigation in
reference to that one point. In consequence
the treasury department has ordered Inspectors
Beckwith and Hovey TO proceed with the second
investigation, having for its object the decision
of the questions whether or not the licenses OF
the officers shall be revoked. Capt. c. L. Bur
ton, master; w. H. Baker, first mate; Abram
Torrey and VIM. H. Palmer, pilots of the Metis
were summoned to give testimony. b. F
ThurstOn appeared as counsel for the officer:
of the steamboat COMPANY.

An ADRoIT SwINDLER spent a few days quite
probably in Springfield last week. His opera
tons, which until now have been designedly
kept quiet, are substantially these: On Tuesday,
the ed, telegram from Boston was received at
Haynes hotel, signed Theodore Thomas, and re-
questing that S25 be paid to his agent. No such
agent was then stopping there, but the next day
a man registered as E. Rosa, and wished TO
'book" the Thomas orchestra for the opera
house, Nov. 9th. He was informed that Mr..
Thomas was already booked for the latter part
OF the month, and replied that he knew it, but
the political excitement at the west was killing
the business and Mr.. Thomas had decided to
jump the country, and come directly to Boston.
He stated that he expected a telegram, and soon
after received one, which he showed to Mr.. Bar
ker, the hotel clerk but it merely said that re-
mittances had been sent him by express, The
following day, however, he said that the expect
cd funds had not arrived, and, as he wished TO
90 at once to Boston, he would like to borrow
s25 As it is a common practice for the treas
urer OF theatre to advance money to the agents
OF well known companies, he was at once &c
commodoted, and soon after disappeared. On
Friday morning a man entered Gill & HAYES
store, and by permission wrote short time at
the desk, and also obtained three blank checks
| on the Agawam bank, which, with one on the
| John Hancock bank be filed out, numbered,
| and signed Edmund Freeman. A few hours
ldleI ne entered barr S confectionery store and
| bought goods to the value OF 81 there, and,
finding he had not enough bills, he offered a
cheek for $40, which was promptly accepted and
| S36 returned Emboldened by his good luck
he passed another upon O. d. Morse & Co. for
$50, and Livermore, Bah & Co took one for $50.
Each time he bought a small bill of goods and
hadn't quite enough money TO pay for them; it
was past banking hours and the well known
signer, with the bolder's own Endorsement, a.
A. Low, written in the most businessike, off
hand way, removed any suspicion of fraud until
after the checks had been placed 10 the credit of
their depositors and were being looked over in
the banks at night. Then the signatures were
found entirely unlike Edmund Freeman's genu-
inc signature, and L. A. Low was in immediate
demand, but he had improved his opportunity
ard vanished like ghost, The signature on
the hotel register was written in a cramped,
hard style, while the checks were drawn and in-
dorsed by person accustomed to writing. The
authorities seemed to have no clue to the mystery
until "Wednesday evening, when the suspected
person was found to have been in Jail when the
iorgeries were perpetrated, and so officers and
sufferers are now alike waiting for something
to turn up.

A PREVENTIVE FOR THE HORSE DISEASE.
gentleman in Quebec writes to the Boston
Journal of method of treatment which keeps
off the dreaded horse disease, 1t is not given
by him as a positive preventive, but its sim
plicity renders the experiment easy. Here is
what he says:
The horse disease is now prevailing here,
| though not, judge, to such an alarming extent
| as the newspapers assert in other places; and
| now let me state fact for what itmay be worth.
| During my stay at Quebec it has so happened
| that have employed one mans carriages sew
eral times. In going between the upper and
slant custom to ride well, while the disease is
noticed upon the larger portion of horses in the
caleches, wagons and drays, | noticed that this
mans horses were not affected and there were
eight 10 his stable. ] several times asked him
how it was that he escaped; at length to-day
| he told me, as follows: He says that when the
| disease broke out at Montreal he stopped giving
| any OF his horses cold water; that he boiled il
| all, and making thin cruel of whatever grain
| or shorts he used he gav3 it to the animals with
not only the chill off but partially warmed. 1t
| is not pretended that the disease was cured by
| this treatment, for none of these eight horses
have been attacked; but the fact is here, they
are in one stable in Quebec, and while horses
are suffering all around them, these are not; at
least they have not yet been. Here are the facts,
the whole facts, and | give them for what they
are worth,
