A Train of Cars Saved by a Boy.

LAST Tuesday the Cincinnati day express,
going east, left Connersville on time, and
was flying on its way at the rate OF twen-
ty.five miles an hour. When approaching
a bridge over a river few miles from
Connersville the engineer noticed small
boy in the middle of the track motioning
wildly with hisarms. The heavy rains for
several days before had caused the man at
the throttle no little anxiety, and in mo-
ment it flashed over his mind the bridge,
but very short distance ahead, was at
least damaged by the freshet With one
hand he reached for the whistle, and with
the other he reversed the engine. The
train employees heard no ordinary stopping
signal in the keen, short whistle, and IN
moment conductor, baggage-man and all
the train employees were helping the regu-
lar brakeman wind the chains that were
perhaps the only hopes of saving the
lives of all on board The train was
stopped within but few steps OF where
the bridge once rested on the abutment'

entire train would have gone into theriv

One of the passengers, an elderly Quaker
lady, gave him five dollars, which he was
reluctant to accept although the conductor
informed her that the officers of the road
would reward the boy The following
day Superintendent Williams arrived at

him what money he had about him, some

as to give legal effect TO marriages of
American citizens effected in foreign

AS to resumption of specie pa yments
the President will heartily approve
any practic able measures 10 that end
that may be adopted by Congress. He
thinks unlimited imitation would bring
ABOUT specie payments more quickly
than a law looking to redemption Of

OF pathos; in the humorous side Of her
labor she was nearly all that could be
desired. AS vocalist she leaves Lot
