The Troy Wing says: "A day or two
since one of our townsmen was engaged
in painting the tin roof Of bis dwelling
house A sixteen foot ladder stood
against the house, the top Of which
projected about foot and half above
the caves. While busily engaged at
work he was startled by hearing a child
ish voice say, Papa, me up high
Looking up, TO his horror and astonish-
ment he saw his little two-year old boy
standing on the caves OF the house with
one hand on rung OF the ladder For
a moment he hesitated as to what he
should do, but finally he spoke quietly
to the boy, telling him to stay there and
papa would come and get him. The
boy obeyed, and the anxious father
reached him and taking him in his arms
descended the ladder. He did not paint
any more that morning. How the
child managed to climb the ladder to
the roof and then step off on the caves,
and turn round aud take hold of the
ladder, all without falling, is a mystery.

A Hamburg, Pa, letter says: Fires
have been raging very extensively on
the Blue Mountains during the last few
days, and vast tracts of timber land
were devastated. In the night the livid
flame would illuminate the heavens for
miles along the course of the confagra-
ton, and the scenes would be viewed by
hundreds, being very weird and mag
nifcently grand. The ascending smoke
would sometimes present the color of
blood, which, compared with the ada
cent and more brilliant flames, produced
a singularly grand effect.
