A Heroic Girl Rewarded.
Boston Iraueler. Doth.


Miss Ella Drew, daughter of G..
HI. Drew, Copeland street, Boston
Highlands, received through the
mail yesterday an elegant gold
token made in the form of NAL
tese cross, inserted on one side,
august 26, 1876" and on the
side, To the Heroic Young Lady
The token was inclosed in an ele-
giant case, but there was nothing
to indicate from whom it came.
The date, however, indicates that
it was sent to Miss Drew in recog-
milton of her bravery while at
Downer Landing on the 10Th of
August last. On that occasion
Miss Drew was spending the day
there; and while out rowing with
a lady friend and about half mile
from the shore a sail boat with a
party on board passed close by
them, sailing rapidly. At that mo-
ment a child on board the sail boat
fell overheard. The party were
unable to bring the boat around
quickly, not understanding its
management. Miss Drew imme-
diately jumped out Of her boat,
and, swimming to the child, res
cued it, after it had sunk twice.
She then swan back to her boat,
by which time the sail boat was
near by, and the parents took the
child to the hotel. Miss Drew re-
turned to the shore, and after dry
ing her clothes, came back to Bos-
ton in the steamer without learn
ing the name of the child or it's
parents.

Didn't Make n Cent.
Detroit Free Press.

An unknown man entered a
hosiery store on Woodward ave-
nue. yesterday and asked to be
shown "a few socks.n When he
learned the price per pair of wooden
ones he put them aside and said:
Il guess I'll keep on wearing
Gotten ones. They say ifyou wear
'em right along through the win
ter your feet don't get cold.o
Some cotton socks We're handed
out, and he persuaded the dealer
to drop from 20 to Is ceuts a pair.
Then he said:
81 can buy the same kind as
these in Toledo for ten cents.o
"It doesn't seem possible,o re-
piled the dealer. "Will you
swear to it?o
Il will. I'll make affidavit to
the fact"
The dealer told him to go around
to a justice, make the affidavit.
and he should then have four pairs
at 10 cents a pair. The stranger
was as good as his word, and he
chuckled and cackled over his
shrewdness until the document
was made out and he had been
sworn Then the justice remark
ed.
"a dollar is the fee,"
Something came over the stran-
ger about that date. His knees
Wohbled a little and he swallowed
as if somethsng choked him. He
handed over the dollar, walked
out, and the four pairs of socks
are still left on the shelf. IL the
shrewd chap made any remarks
to himself, he probably whisper
ed.
"Virtue is its own reward, and
you are $50 pounds of fools!"
