A PerilOus POSiti0n.-Jacob n. Brown,
of Little Britain township, Lancaster coun-
ty, had quite an adventure on the 10th inst.
The rapid melting of the snow on that day
caused freshet in the streams, and Rae
coon Run was very high. Mr.. Brown at
tempted to drive across this stream at the
fording near the Octoraro while the flood
was at it's height. On reaching the centre
deep. his carriage struck something and
stuck fast in the deep water and the horse
was unable to go forward. Mr.. Brown
found himself in a dangerous place and the
horse being unable to proceed he determin-
ed to get out of the wagon and cut the
traces in order to free him and prevent his
being drowned. This he was unable to do
on account of the depth of the water, but
the animal made a sudden plunge and
broke himself loose from the dearborn,
stripping the harness off, and swan ashore.
Mr.. B. was also about concluding to desert
the wagon and make for the shore, when
Mrs. Samuel Conrad, who resides near the
place, came to his assistance, and seizing a
long rail she threw it into the stream, hold
ing on to one end while the other tloated
down to where Mr.. Brown stood on his
wagon. Mr.. B. caught it and placing one
end upon wheel while Mrs. Conrad stead
led the other end on the shore, he walked
the rail and landed safe on terra frma.-
AS soon as the dearborn was relieved of
Mr.. BIS weight, it was swept away by the
flood into the Octoraro, turning over and
over until it disappeared from sight down
the angry stream. 1t had not been recov-
cred at last accounts. Mrs. Conrad's brave
act deserved much praise.-Oxford Press.

VENICE BY ToRcHLIGHT.- -Venice Is per-

light procession, writes a correspondent, as we
saw it the other night. 1t was gotten up for
some charitable object, and was supported by
all the "forestieri" or strangers in the city,
whether for the charity or novelty Of the thing
leave you to guess The grand canal or
streets of the mobiles is two hundred feet
wide and capable, therefore, of allowing num-
bers of boats to go abreast. You know the
gondoliers stand up to row, and take very
little room in the water. A steamer, gaily
decorated, was placed in the middle on each
side of large boat containing bands and
singers; then on each side and behind for
a long ways were gondolas, lighted up in every
way Chinese lanterns can do it. The music
struck up and the procession glided along the
water. Alternately pieces by the band, and
national songs sung by good chorus, till we
arrived at the Rialto, the bridge across the
grand canal. Then all stopped, and the
thousands of people on the bridge and sides
of the canal were quite still, while the singers
treated us to the best outdoor musical per-
Torrance have heard.

Every man of sense and refinement admires
woman as woman, and when she steps out
of this character, thousand things that in
their appropriate sphere would be admired,
become disgusting and offensive. The APP
propriate character of woman demands del
icacy of appearance and manners, refinement
of sentiment, gentleness of speech, modesty
in feeling and action, shrinking from noto-
riety and public gaze, aversion to all that is
coarse and rude, and an instructive adherence
of all that tends to indelicacy and impurity,
either in principle or action. These are the
traits which are always admired and sought
for in woman.

A Frenchman named Dufour, after several
years intense and unremitted study of the
finger nails, has made the magnificent discov-
cry that the nails on the little finger grow
more rapidly than on the others. A discovery
of such vast Importance to the human family
cannot but give Dufour everlasting fame. So
long as the little fingers grow nails they will
be an increasing testimony to his wonderful
greatness.

Some men are SO sensitive that there Is
scarcely any comfort to be taken with them.
wedding was recently broken up at Colum-
bus City, Iowa, just because when the clergy
man asked if any one had any objections, the
young lady said: "Yes--I don't want to
marry him." The cxpectant groom got just
as mad as hornet about it, and left. He
said he'd be hanged If he'd marry girl who
answered conundrums intended for other
folks.
