NoRrHFIELD One of the most heroic deed
ever performed in this town was enacted Wednes-
day morning Of last week by young man by the
name OF John W Gregory in the rescuing of lit
tie child from certain death. 1t seems the child
was nnocently playing on the track wholly un-
conscious of the approach of the up train Gregory
saw it, aud with almost superhuman effort reached
the spot, sprang upon the track, seized the child
from almost beneath the wheels, sprang upon the
ow-catcher, thence to the side of the track, and
as the train sped by, easily sat the child down and
walked away Those who saw it say there was
not one chance in hundred for the performance
of the deed, and they expected To see the mangled
remains OF both when the train had passed
John, we are proud of you, and thank God We
have one Young man brave enough to face death
TO save the life Of another. The Arcadians, "
or Beedle's Swiss Brl-ringers had n full house
last Friday night, aud judging from the uniyer-
sal and eminent satisfaction given, they will be
met by a larger house, should they return another

The Last siege of Gibraltar

The most memorable, i'm some respects.
of all the fourteen sieges to which Glib
raltar has been subjected, was the last.
called the .'great siege one of the
mighty struggles Of history. which
began in the year 1873. The famous
General Elliott was commander of the
fortress. Spain, i'm alliance with France
and Morocco. endeavOTed to surprise
Gibraltar: but Swedish ship gave
Elliott the alarm. The garrison CON-
pri>ed but five companies OF artillery
and the whole force was less than five
thousand and five hundred men. The
enemy's force was fourteen thousand.
The siege began by the blockading of
the port. and camp was formed at San
Rogue with the design of starving out
the garrison. When the English Gov
ernor resolved to open fire upon his
besiegerS. d lady in the garrison fired
the first shot. Never did siege war
rage more fuliously than did this for
nearly three years. The garrison was
often reduced to sore straits for food ::
"a goose was worth a guinea" and
Elliott tried upon himself the expert
ment of living upon four ounces of rice
a day for 4 week. Exciting stories are
told of the privateers that ran in, amidst
terrible dangers, with provisions, and
of all the storms which threw welcome
wood and cork within reach of the be-
sieged. The rock at one time would
surely have taken had it not been for
Admiral Rodney, who, sailing off the
strait. captured a small fleet of Spanish
war ships and merchantmen, and clear
ing the strait of besiegers, brought his
prizes into port. But all danger was
not yet averted: Gibraltar was again
blockaded: scurvy broke out in the
garrison, and Morocco refused her
harbors to English ships. The enemy
crept closer and closer to the fortress,
but relief coming every now and then
enabled the English still to hold out.
The bombardments were fearful TO
endure. 1.-The city was almost de-
stroyed: scarcely house habitable, and
those left Standing pierced by shot and
she'll" Atone time the desperate gar
rison fell to plundering the town;
Elliott shot tie leaders in this outrage.
The long agony, full of terrific combats
and frightful privations, ended by the
final abandonment of the siege early in
1888. If in that year the English had
10 make up their minds that they must
Let go their American colonies, they had
at least the consolation that Gibraltar
was still theirs.-H0Tper's NggaziRe.
