A ToUCmNG STORY ToLp.-In the
wear lS-, rs the mail train on the Bal
timore aud Ohio Railroad bound west
to Cumberland, in charge OF the late
Capt. George ~ Rawlings, conductor,
was approaching Doe Gully tunnel, the
engine struck and killed COW belong
ING to the widow OF a watchman at that
point who lost his life in the service.
The accident soon brought 10 the
scene quite a number of the people lir-
Ing in Tie immediate neighborhood, and
among them the widow of the watch
man aud five small children, who were
crying most pileousl v at their loss, and
using the most heartrending expressions.
Rawlings, who was proyerbial for bis
kindness of heart, took up n subscrip-
ton, the passengers aud trainmen con
tribuliug, aud soon collected over sew
enty dollars aud handed il TO the widow.
With tears in her eyes, she turned TO
him and said: you will never regret
this kindness 10 the poor widow aud
her children, aud it will come 10 you
some day or other
Time rolled on, and the incident was
nearly forgotten, when one night Raw
lines left Cumberland on his eastbound
trip in terrible ranStorm, and after
passing through Doe Gully tunnel, his
engineman blew for breaks in sharp and
quick blasts, Indicating sudden and un-
expected danger.
The train was brought to standstlll
within fifty feet of an immense land
slide covering the track Tor distance
OF fifty yards, close 20 which a large
bonfire had been built, aud standing
within few feet OF the widow, with
blazing pine knot in her hand waving
it and shouting "whcre is the condnc-
tor? Where is the conductor!
Rawlings soon appeared, and gong
to him she said: 81 told you you
never would regret your kindness tothe
poor lone widow and her children. l
heard the fall of rock and earth in the
cut and knew you were coming down,
aud | built the fire TO warn you oi tho
danger. God bless the man who
thought Of the poor widow and her
children when they were in trouble.
The scene can better be imagined
than described.
The act of the widow saved the lives
Of the passengers and train men, aud To
this day Tommy Beckett, who ran on
the Delaware on the occasion, and
who is still running on the Washington
branch, ripe in years, no doubt often
thinks of the widow with the blazing
pine knot, who signaled bin at Doe
Gully tunnel-BuAimore E0ening

II. r. Stevens, Esq: Dear Sir.May ask the
favor of yOu to make my case public?
In ls6l, while picket duty in the army, /
was taken with a NJ, which lasted all night.
Was taken into camp and dosed with whiskey
and quinine. After this had fts every day, and
was taken to Newberu Hospital, and there
treated by the attending physicians. l grew
worse and was sent home. Remained in poor
health for four years, treating with many physi-
clans and trying many remedies. Finally Scrof-
ula made its appearance on different parts OF
my body, and my head was so diseased as 10 be
frightful to look at, and painful beyond endur-
ance. After trying the most eminent physicians,
without improvement, change OF climate was
advised.
Have been to the Hot Springs in Arkansas
twice, each time giving their treatment
thorough trial. Finally came back to Boston,
discouraged, with no hope of help Life was
burden 10 one III my situation. My disease, and
the effect OF so much powerful medicine, had so
damaged my system that the action of my stom-
ach was apparently destroyed and my head was
covered with ulcers which had III places eaten
into the skull bone.
The best physicians said my blood was so full
of poison they could do more for ME. About
this time friend who had been an invalid told
me VEGErINE had restored him to perfect health,
and through his persuasion | commenced taking
VEG EriNE. At this time ! was having fts al
most every day. l noticed the first good effects
OF NEGErlNE in my digestive organs. My food
sat better and my stomach grew stronger. L
began to feel encouraged, for l could see my
health slowly and gradually improving. With
renewed hope l continued taking the VEGE-
TINE, until 1t had completely driven disease out
Of my body II cured the .itS, gave me good,
pure blood, and restored me TO perfect health,
which had not enjoyed before for ten years.
Hundreds OF people in the city Of Boston can
yoach for the above facts.
NEGErISE has saved my life. and you are at
liberty tc make such use Of this statement as
pleaSes you best, and beg of you TO make it
known that other sufferers may find relief with
less trouble and expense than did.
1t will afford me great pleasure 20 show the
marks OF my disease or give any further iufor>
nation relative To my case 10 all who desire il.
am, sir, very gratefully. JOHN PECK,

Ten THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR DRINK
OF WATER.-In one OF the holly con
tested fights in Virginia, during the
war, Federal officer fell in front Of the
Confederate breastworks. While lying
there, wounded and crying Cor water, q
Confederate soldier (James Moor, OF
Burke County, n. CO. declared his in
tention of supplying him with drink.
The bullets were flying thick from both
sides, and Moore's friends endeavored
to dissuade him from such hazardous
enterprise. Despite renonstrancc and
danger, however, Moore leaped the
breastworks. canteen in hand, reached
his wounded enemy and gave him
drink. The Federal, under sense OF
gratitude for the timely service, took
out his gold watch and offered 1t TO
bis benefactor, but it was refused. The
officer then asked the name of the mau
who had braved such danger TO succor
him. The name was given, and Moore
returned unhurt to his position behind
the enbankment They saw nothing
more OF each other, Moore was sub
sequeutly wounded, and lost a limb IN
one of the engagements in Virginia,
and returned to his home in Burke
County. a few days ago he received
a communication from the Federal sol
der to whom he had given the cup of
cold water on the occasion alluded to,
announcing that he had settled on him
the sum of $4,000, to be paid III four
annual instalments of -, 500 each. In

RAHpALL-A New STYLE OF EVAN
GELIsr-Au individual named Randall,
who calls himself ar evangelist, and
who was recently released from the
Moundsville Penitentiary, has been
stirring about here this week, and has
aroused some indignation by his method
of conducting himself: His plan OF
operations is to get sentences from the
Scriptures printed on pieces Of paper
which he professes to distribute in jails,
almshouses, &c, &c, and his style OF
raising the wind is TO solicit subscnp-
tions to enable him to continue his war
against Satan, by scattering these paper
bombshells, wherever that individual Is
most accustomed to disport himself.
On one or two occasions since he came
here he has demanded help with more
vigor than poiteness, and being refus-
ed either money OF endorsements, be-
came so abusive that he had to be
walked out. In some manner he has
gotten hold of some OF the temperance
workers on the South Side, and last
week getting a chancc 10 aouIesS 'he
Parker's Hall Association, he told them
that he did not want to scare them, but
that the world was coming to an end,
that he had the devil with him, etc,
ETC., and that if they concluded to sup
port preachers, who had grown 50 tat
in their pampered places that they could
not convert a rat, the worst consequen-
ces might be expected AS far as we
can learn his history, he served his term
in the penitentlary Of this State: for
forging his father-in-laws note, and on
his release protessed conversion. With
out dsiring to throw any obstacles in
the way of any good work he may ac
complish, it would seem from his record
here and elsewhere since his release,
that another conversation would not
hurt him anv.-Uheeiing Standard.

Southern paper, writing from Arkansas.
gives the following receipt TO increase
the flow ot milk III COW. She
says
"Tepid water, slightly salted, given
twice day, will increase the dow OF
milk one third, il the COW will not
drink it at first trial, scatter q handful
of the bran or meal over the top of
it. They soon become very fond Of
it, anj will drink all you will give
them. j tried this plan three years
ago with perfect succrss / had only
one COW, and she was Of the common
scrub stock Of tbs country, aud alter
she began to drink the wafer, prepared
as above, she furnished me, twice q
day, two ordinary buckets iull Of milk,
aud by feeding little corn boiled, the
milk yielded butter enough ~ support

SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS.

l. Teach your children TO he respect
ful and obedien; to their teachers.
2. Teach them not to be boisterous
about the house. If you have trials in
governing two or three children of your
own family, think of the multiplied
trials of the teacher who has to govern
twenty-five or thirty children from many
different families.
3. Do not encourage your children TO
tell tales out of school.
4. Do not decide upon complaints
brought to you until you hear both
sides.
5. Encourage your children in their
studies, and that they prepare their tasks
at home.
Encourage the teacher by a kind
word when he or she deserves it.
7. Visit the school and show that
you are interested i'll the management
Of it.
s. Do not complain, if your child,
who is absent two-thirds of his time
and neglect his tasks at home, does not
learn as fast as others.
9. Do not permit your children to
absent themselves from school on slight
pretexts. Punctuality and regularity
are absolutely necessary to progress at
school
