Narrow Escape.-The Harrisburg Pa
triot of the 18th inst, says Yesterday
morning as the Pacific express train west
ward bound was approaching Eagle sta
tion, on the Pennsylvania railroad, VIM.
vGeddes, the fireman of engine No. 81, was
missed by the engineer. He had been
Choking" the fire, and the rod of the fire
hook was still in the furnace, the end
sticking out of the fire door, when the en-
gineer missed him. The latter looked first
on the tender, then peeped into the fur
mace, and when he found Geddes emo
where" gave the signal to stop the train.
The train was slowly backed, and when
it had proceeded half mile Geddes came
up along side the engine alive and sound.
He had stepped on piece of coal and was
thrown off, landing on his feet without
injury. This is one Of the most remarkable
escapes on record.

Scared Swearer-A few weeks since
party of hands were cutting the grain in
the field belonging to Mr.. Nagle in Bedford
twp, Bedford Co., having one very profane
one among them. The hail and rain had
beat down the grain and it was difficult to
cut, particularly that which grew in GER
tain corner of the field. When the profane
man found that this particular spot would
fall to his lot to cradle, he began to swear
terrifcly, and wished the lightning would
strike it. There were no indications of a
storm at the time, but presently a cloud
made its appearance in the clear sky from
the northwest, and just as the GRADER began
the attack on the tangled wheat, a storm
broke forth. The forkeG flames played
about him, and the terrific peals Of thunder
shook the earth, A large tree. not fifteen
feet distant from the man, who stood trem-
bling in his boots, was struck, and when
he recovered from the shock which stun
ned him he broke for the farm house on q
dead run, and burst into the room, pale and
painting, to the terror of the ladies there
assembled. He says he will never wish for
lightning to strike anything, and has finally
resolved not to indulge in profanity

Why is Itg-We did hope that Grant
having got we'll into his second term would
by this time have weeded out his post
masters, so that there would be none in
Office so ignorant Of their duties as to re-
turn paper with only the words "not
lifted' on the margin. 1t is conducive to
profanity to hunt for a long time for the
name, and to subsequently find that there
is subscriber with the same name at
another Office, and that you have stopped
the wrong paper. The law provides way
for postmasters to notify publishers when
papers are not taken from the Office, and
why they can't be guided by it, is mys-
terry to us. Though opposed to the third
term principle, we would almost be will
ing to advocate it if three terms are
requisite to get postmasters in office who
will learn their duties. efg ri.

Horrible Death.--Wednesday morning

HOTTiDie Bohth W oohohuity AbOInuuB
blood was dripping from one Of the cars of
the Pacific express west when it entered
the depot in Lancaster The circumstances
is explained in the following from the
Lancaster Esaminor of the next evening. A
man named Joseph Vanderslice, residing
at Philadelphia, was killed at Mill creek
bridge, on the Pennsylvania railroad, this
morning about half past two o'clock. 1t
seems that he was in company with COM
panion named John Namely, and the two
we're stealing a ride to Pittsburg to attend
the prize fight, and were both lying upon
top of passenger car on the Pacific ex-
press west, Maneeley lying lengthwise on
the roof and Vanderslice lying with his
head on his (Maneeley's) back. In coming
through the bridge Vanderslice raised up
his head and was struck by one of the iron
bolts, his skull being cloven in twain and
his brains scattered about on the tin roof.
1t was dark at the Time, and Maneeley
could not tell whether his companion was
killed or not, but he held him on the roof
until the train reached Lancaster and then
he discovered that he was a corpse. He
gave the alarm, and by the aid Of ladder
the corpse was taken from the top of the
car. The body was shipped to Philadel-
phia this morning. LVl

Jos. Page was driving down the hill, which
is near the residence of Mr.. John Sander
son, in Centre township the wagon struck

THE FINANCIAL BILL.

On Monday Senator Sherman,
Chairman of the Finance Commits
tee, reported to the Senate the bill
agreed upon in the Republican eau
Gus few days ago.
The leading features Of this bib,
which seams to be a sort of eompro
mise measure, are substantially
these:
First-Free banking to be open
to all individuals and associations,
without limitation of capital. Sec
ond-The retiring of an amount of
greenbacks equal to eighty per
cent. of the amount Of national notes
issued until tbs greenback circula>
ton shall be reduced to three hun
dred millions, after which no further
reduction of the greenbacks is to
take place. 1t is Gained that by
this provision there will be neither
expansion nor contraction OF the
currency, as about twenty per cent.
is now required as bank reserves.
! Third The withdrawal and de-
s.ruction of the fractional currency,
aud the substitution of silver coin,
the arrangement 10 go into effect as
soon as practicable under the direc'
ton of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, who is authorized to use the
surplus money in the treasury fol
su, plying the silver coin. If this
is not sufficient to sell the requisite
amount of bonds of the new series
to obtain the funds for that purpose
Fourth Removing the cost fol
coinage If gold tthe several mints
Flfth-The resumption of specie
payments to commence on the frs
day of January, eighteen hundrc'
and scventy-nine. The Secretar,
of the Treasury is authorized T.
use the surplus specie in the treas
ury, but if that is not sufficient t
sell bonds in order to obtain gol
10 pay the treasury notes Blu
this last provision does not, like tn
others, 60 into immediate effect
The legal tender act remains undis
turbcd.
: This bill is in accordance wi;
the views of the Secretary Of til
Treasury and will probably pas
both houses. In which event
will receive the Presidents endorse
/ ment.
