A MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-On Tues
day Of last week, Mrs. j. 7. Mekenriek, Of this
place, and her four children LEFT for visit to Mr.
Samuel MeClarren's, in Decatur township. Mt
Mecsren met the party at tho Blue Ball station
with spring wagon, aad when, on his way home
crossing the bridge which spans smoaIs saw mill
dam, the horse became unmauageable and backed
the wagon Of the bridge, throwing the mother
and her four children into the water. The mother,
with her babe ia her arms, attempted to rescue
two Of the other children, and 10 doing lost her
babe but luckily two gentlemen named Hopkins,
came to the scene and reseued the party, who
otherwise would all have been drowned. Mr.
Mecarren succeeded in keeping the horse aud
the front part Of the wagon on the bridge. Had
the horse aud wagon gone over too, most likely
all would have been killed or drowned, as the
horse to a wagon would have made sad havoc
among them, The injuries sustained were very
slight, except in solei clothing.

WoRK OF RAsCALs.-A daring at
tempt to create IN ineendiaty hfc 10 our midst
was made by some daring raseals, at about "
o'clock on Saturday night last, and whca, but for
timely discovery, would have laid the business
portion Of our town in ashes. These rascals took
a small box, filled It full OF shavings, and placed
1t under IN old barn on the rear Of the lot oecu-
pied by wm. Powcll's hardware store, where u
was then set on Ere, and burned short time be-
fore Il was diseoYcred. A lady living in the
vicinity saw the Gre from her bed window,
and Immediately awakened her husband, who
went down aod oktingulshed the flames before
any damage was done. This lady says that when
she called her husband two men ran away from
the barn, down the alley toward Market stree,
The location chosen on this occasion was good
one for the deyish work, as the vicinity Is built
up entirely Of wooden buililngs, some Of which
are very old and would burn like iindsr boxes
and 10 the absence Of any arrangements for the
successful fighting of Gre, terrible conaasra,ion
woud have been the result Besides this, there
were four kegs Of powder 10 the loft Of the barn,
and had an explosion taseu place We m'ght nave
his week to record loss Of life as the result oi
the work Of these miscrcanis.
Unless II is for purposes Of punder' We cannot
sec wha, idea these human devils have 10 view IN
setting fire to any mans buidings. And even II
il was for plundcr, such work would be OF no "'e'
ss our business men have learned to keep - look
,,,, e., t,;cks Of this hind. n the Gends who
undertake such work in our town are caught IN
their tricks, We fancy they would receive pretty
severe treatment at the hands Of our citizens
An attempt was also made some time during
Saturday night, to get into the store Of heha'a
