sixteen to eighteen, or whereabouts, whose
names we omit in Difference to their mod
esty, conceived the idea that it was not
exactly appropriate that one of our city
pastors, who is in a crippled condition of
body, should be obliged to saw his fire.

So without prompting, except by their
own generous impulse, they repaired in
body to the minister's woodpile, armed
with saws and axes, and in the course of
II couple of hours reduced about three
cords Of it to proper size for the stove.
The act was one that does credit to the
boys. and shows their hearts to be in the
right places The cultivation of the
feeling that prompted it, will make them
generous and noble men and good citi.

A Bro sell. Last week we published
wonderful story from the Philadelphia Press
about a sea captain, drowned at Lewes, coming
to life. The affair turns out to be sell, as
was supposed, though the Press published the
item in all seriousness. 1t seems that the
undertaken at Lewes, fearing that he really
had cOtflned live man, wrote to the parties
in New FORK to whom the corpse was consigned
for information, and they assured him that the
man was dead and buried. The Press ac-
knOwlcdges it was sOld and says the sell
occurel in this way THE facts as detailed in
that article we're obtained in the usual course,
from specific information given at the Ii-eSS
rooms by the officers of Adams Express in
this city, who so firmly believed the entire cor
rectncss of what they were stating that the
tact that their evidence was merely "heresay''
was overlooked. 1t now turns out that the
only man who sd,0 the resuscitated corpse was
driver of the Long Island Express Company.
When he saw the box opened at Greenwich
Point, and peculiar flush Of blood in the face
of the dead man. the eyes wide open, and a
remarkable lifc-like appearance about the
body, he ran out frightened and spread the
report to the bystanders. And by the time
the tale reached the Office of the Adams FIX
press Company it had been exaggerated into a
| perfectly constructed sensation, harmonious in
all its parts, and sustained by cOrrOboratng
circumstances. The regularly commissioned
officers of the Adams Express Company were
so firmly convinced of the truth OF this sup

nation was given at the Press rooms as Of
an authenticated fact"

A DARING SCHEME-It is believed that
two thieves intended to rob the Newport
National Bank last Thursday night. Newport
is village three or four miles west of Will
mngtOn. The circumstances are detailed by
the Commercial On Thursday evening, about
8 o'clock, during the absence of Mr.. Green,
the Teller of the above bank, his residence was
visited by two men, rather well dressed and
respectful be-lOOklng, who at once entered into
conversation with Mrs. Green. They repre-
sented to her that they were friends of Mr..
Watson, the cashier of the bank, had called
on him, but did not find him at home. During
the conversation with Mrs. Green, one of the
men complained of being sick, and retired to
the yard, after which they stated that they
would go to the hotel, and call again. Mr..
Green upon his arrival home, was made con-
versant with the fact thus far, and then went
to Mr. Watson and made inquiry fer the par
ties. This gentlemen had no knowledge of
the men or their visit, and further inquiry at
the hotel proved that they had not been there
Suspicious were at once aroused that an
attempt to rob the bank was intended, and a
strict watch was kept up all night Early on
Friday morning, however, Mrs. Green had
started up stairs, when she met one of the
vllIainouS scoundrels coming down the steps,
who Instantly threw some kind of dust in the
ladys face and eyes, which, for the time
blinded her, and then pushed her down stairs
into the room. The fright and the assault
made her insensiblc for several minutes, and
IN the meantime the burglar escaped Nothing
has since been heard from them Ten dollars
hld In the garret, has been missed since that
night,
