An Interesting Incident.

4 New York correspondent Of the Bos-
ton journal tells the following incident

and others will start tears in the eyes.
| used to weep. The postman, just before
Christmas, brought letter to MIR. Shat
fer of the Old Brewery, postmarked Al
bany aud addressed to Ny Dear God.
City OF New York. As the postmaster
did not know what else to do with it, he
thought be would bring it to Mr. Shaffer.
1t proved to be u letter from little gill
in Albany. Her mother was very poor,
she said, and sick and worked very hard.
She had almost frozen and wanted
little cloak to wear and pair Of boots
for her brother and if the good Lord
would send the things. she would be a
real nice little girl. She gave the num-
Der Of the street where she lived, so that
there need be no mistake. Mr. Shaffer
sent to Albany to make inquiries. He
found the facts to be these: The little
girl had told the story as it was. Talking
about Christmas, she had asked her
mother if she did not think that, if she
asked Santa Claus, he would send her a
nice warm cloak, and some boots for her
brother, for she always included him in
the gifts. Her mother told her she had
better ask the Lord for some clothes.
Praying she did not know very much
about; but she did know something
about letter writing She took her slate
and printed the letter. Her brother
copied it, and the united exehequer Of both
was exhausted in securing postage
stamp, for she thought the Lord must
live IN New York. Having done her
work, she sat down and waited patiently
for his answer. which she confidently ex-
peeted. In due time the welcome rap
came to the door. The cloak and boots
arrived in good order, and with them
kind letter, showing the little girl how
the Lord answers prayers sometimes
through the kindness Of benevolent
Christians.

To-day there Is a man going about tie
streets Of this city, ragged, dirty, and
penniless. subsisting on free lunches an d

slept in bed for. months, and during

He has been for two Or three months

successful.
Night before last, while lying helplessly
drunk IN the rear part of a Third street
saloon, some men thought to play joke
on HIM by stealing his shirt, and proceed
ed to strip him. Underneath his shirt,
and suspended By string around his
neck, was small canvas bag, which the
men opened and found it to contain his

When these things were discovered,

the sleeper sclothes upon him. Yesterday

in this country would be deemed more

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.


This useful branch Of the War De
partment is daily gaining in public favor.
Its predictions OF the weather have been
SO accurate that ptics have been con-
verted into believers, and few can now
be found foolish enough to ignore its
timely warnings.
The display of cautionary signals in
our principal harb3rs has saYed many
SHIPS from disaster, and has won for the
service the gratitude Of the mariner and
the confidence ofour shipping merchants.
The day may be fine. the wind fair. but
if ''Old Probabilities hangs out his eau
tionary flag, the oldest sailor respects
the warning and prepares for the APP
ploaching storm. He has. been taught
by experience that science can outstrip
his vision and foretell the coming storm
at least day before he snuiEs the ap
proach of danger.
This important feature Of the signal
service is but one Of many that daily
confer positive benefits upon our pee-
pie. The weather probabilities, as pub
lished daily III our leading Journals, are
consulted by tens Of thousands as oracles
of truth, and by those who know their
true value are implicitly -ehed upon.
The traveller. the merchant, the manu-
/ facturer, the mechanic-in fact every
man or woman whether calculating on
business OF pleasure, receive more or
less advantage from these accurate pre-
dictions Of the signal service.
To the farmers of our country the SER
! vice is destined to be Of incalculable val
ne. Its benefits heretofore have been
confined to the farmers living near the
signal stations, or along liEes where the
bulletins have been distributed ; but the
large majority have not been able to
avail themselves OF the benefits OF the
service. BY recent arrangement made
through the Post Once Department
weather bulletins are to be sent here
after daily TO all post Offices east OF the
Mississippi that can be reached by p.
N The local post master is charged
with the duty Of placing these bulletins
IN CONSPICUOUS place, SO all who visit
the office can become acquainted with
the probabilities oil the weather for the
coming day. By this means il is hoped
that thousands Of farmers. and Others
interested, will receive the advantages OF
a timely notice of approaching storms
or sudden changes in temperature. 4
few hours notice Of rain or heavy frost
would enable tie farmer to protect him
self against lot S. When we consider the
ma gnitude OF our agricultural interests
and the heavy loss which oftentimes fol-
lows single storm, we can readily APP
praciate this new arrangement which di-
vides the country into signal districts,
each having a common centre, commune
eating to distant towns the accurate pre-.
dictions Of what the weather will be on
the following day.
The service is still in its infancy. It's
stations will yet encirole the globe, and
storms that sweep from across the ocean
will be foretold days before they burst
upon our coast. The tidal waves of cold
that deluge the land with snow viii be
heralded days in advance of their com.
ing, and the lucky guesses Of the alma
nac'maker will be surpassed by the accu,
rate predictions of the signal service.
