A Thrilling Scene.

A thrilling scene occurred at Fishkill
Landing depot Wednesday morning. The
upward bound passenger train, due here
at ten q. m, had just arrived at the sta
ton, and forty or fifty passengers had
started to get on and off when the st. Louis
Express, bound south, and which does not
stop at Fishkill Landing, came thunder
ing around the curve just north Of the
station. No alarm of the approach of the
train had been given. 1t was behind
time, and running at the rate of forty
miles an hour. Its track in front of the
station was filed with men and women.
The men who saw the tain coming ran
shouting in every direction, women
screamed and cried for help, and bystand-
ers turned their heads, fearing to see at
least dozen persons cut to pieces. One
or two women grasped the iron railing at
tached to the platforms of the up train,
and tainted as the men crowded them as
close to the train as they could. Onelady,
Mrs. Frank Brown, of Newburg, was
crossing the track to get on the up train,
but when she reached the centre of the
down track the express was close upon
her. With great presence of mind she
turned and run back as the train thun-
dered by, the. pilot of the engine justmiss-
ing her dress. Men on the west side of
the swiftly-speeding train were thrilled
with horror, as they expected that the
people who were clinging to the railing
of the upward bound train had been drawn
by the frigbtful suction under the wheels
of the passing express. Luckily, however,
no one was hurt. 1t was a terrible scene,
and by those who so miraculously escaped
will be remembered till they die.-Pough-

ready in the anteroom to take charge of
hats and wraps of the gentlemen en-
ployes. Separated from the composing
room by hall wide enough to exclude all
noise of machinery is the press depart
ment, with dozens of steam cylinder
presses and from fifty to sixty hand-p
es. The basement is occupied by the type
foundry and stereotyping department, the
former with bewildering assortment of
dies for casting type in all imaginable
languages; but the foreman, a black
looking Armenian, seemed to have them
all at his fingers ends, and attended to
an order for several pounds of Sanscrit
" "daghas" and Tcheremiss shakhas,"
with a dispatch and equanimity as If he
was weighing out shingle nails. Beside
the books and periodicals mentioned, this
establishment prints the two Oldest news
papers in Russia, the Russian and Ger
man ST. Petersburg Gazette, which were
founded by the Emperor Peter the Great
about $50 years ago. A remarkable fea-
ture of this printing office is the absence
of "ye mischievous devil" for it would
be the height of impropriety to call by
that name some youthful individuals
whom l saw perched upon high stools,
setting up pi with deliberate motion,
and an air of gravity in the round faces
looking forth from the stiff collars of
their uniform jackets, which proved
that they were fully impressed with the
vast responsibility resting upon their
shoulders .E' -9tJrfTE 4df

About three years ago, Jennie Girls
singer, young lady of this city, was
afflicted with disease of the spine, which
gradually became worse, until she, was
obliged to take to ner bed. She was at
tended by physicians, who resorted to
every known medical expedient to relieve
her except the application to the spine of
a red hot iron. Two of them held con-
consultation recently, at which it was de-
termined to apply this terrible rem edy if
she would consent to go through the
ordeal. They communicated the result
of their deliberations to her, but she pro-
tested against any further experiments
and said she had made up her mind TO
trust her case to a supernatural agency
for cure-that something had told
her she should rise from her long
confinement next day. She rose ac.
cordingly and sat in a chair. The
following day she walked across the
room, and since she has attended church,
walking with perfect ease. Owing to the
protracted confinement, she is weak, but
her spine, which was broken in three
places, has been restored to its original
frmness. The physicians were called in
to see her after she left her bed, and ex-
pressed their surprise at the marvellous
change. Even her lungs, which had been
seriously affected, seemed perfectly sound.
Miss Grissinger, who resides on Allison's
Hill, attributes her cure to Divine inter-
position in answer to prayer. She had
particularly fixed her mind on certain
passages III the Bible relating to promises.
The young lady is daily growing stronger,
and expects to be restored TO perfect
health. th.-HaqTisbt.rg (Pa.) Patriot.

skin of the arm, with waist formed by a
bodice worn outside, from whence the
skirt flowed of, and was distended at the
top by an ample hoop. Shoes of white
kid with peaked toes, and heels of two or
three inches elevation, enclosed her feet
and glittered with spangles, as her little
pedal members peeped curiously out.
Now for the swain. His hair was
sleeked back and plentifully befoured,
while his cue projected like the handle of

lined with yellow; his long vest of white
satin, embroidered with gold lace; his
breeches of the same material, and tied
at the knee with pink ribbon. White
silk stockings and pumps, with laces and
ties of the same hue, completed the habil-
iments of his neither limbs. Lace ruffles
clustered around his wrists, and porten-
tous frill, worked in correspondence, and
bearing the miniature of his beloved, fin
ished his truly genteel appearance

The Mormon John D. Lee was shot on the
23d, upon the scene of the Mountain Meadows
massacre, for his participation In that horrible
crime In 1857. Before his execution he wrote
what purports TO be a full and true history of
the horrible butchery at Mountain Meadows. In
his remarks just before being shot Lee declared
thatlhe had done nothing designedly wrong in
this affair; that he did everything in his power
to save all the emigrants and that his conscience
was clear before God and man. Lees death was
instantaneous, five guns being fired, the bullets
penetrating the body in the region of the heart.
