Material Effects Of the Yellow Fever.

1t is estimated that the actual material
loss to the region of country scourged
! by the yellow fever, thus far, says the
Louisville Courier-J ournal,' is not
less than 5000 ,000, 600, and that is, doubt
less, very low estimate. Splendid
stands of cotton will be lost for want of
hands to pick it, while the cessation of
business in cities and towns, and on the
railroads and river, had occasioned
enormous losses, which cannot now be
computed. Beyond expression, this has
been terrible year for the people of the
Lower Mississippi Valley. Some people
talk in melancholy way, and express
the belief that the South will be utterly,
irremediably ruined That is an impos-
sibility. The South has been swept by
the flood, pestilence and sword, yet has
she come up out of the depths with a
firm step and hopeful heart. Tempo
rarily crushed the south may be, but
destroyed never. There is reason to re-
joice that the yellow fever has spread so
little East from the Mississippi. 1t is
leaving broad, black mark from Cairo
to the gulf 1t is terrible mark, to be
sure. 1t is trail marked by graves
Yet, out of the deeps of this woe those
communities will come with renewed
strength. If it were otherwise,we might
indeed abandon hope for the South
The people have too much at stake, and
the business of the valley is too great.
Its demands will speedily set all 'the
machinery of trade in motion again.
The heart only aches in contemplation
of the weeks of deaths and misery
which must elapse before this plague
storm IS horrors will vanish.

A Boys Depravity.

A remarkable case of juvenile depravi-
ty is reported from Bells Camp, an oil
village on the line of the Olean and
Bradford Railroad. A ten-year-old boy
named Charlie Welch, living at Bells
Camp, has for long time been in the
habit of boarding trains on that road
and riding to and fro between stations.
Monday last the conductor of train %,
seeing the boy in a dangerous place on
the train, stopped and put him off, tell
ing him never to get on again unless he
paid his fare and rode inside the car.
D-n you," exclaimed the lad, "I'n
fix you for this" Friday afternoon, as
train 2S was approaching a very steep
embankment about two miles west of
Bells Camp, the engineer saw an OBJ
struction on the inner rail in the shape
of piece of iron about two feet long,
raised and fastened by scantling braced
against it and the outer rail. 1t was too
late to stop the train, but fortunately
two fiat cars had been placed in front
of the engine to be pushed to Olean.
The first struck the obstruction and was
hurled down the bank, pulling the other
with it. The coupling between the rear
fiat car and the locomotive broke and
no further damage was done. A brake
man on the front car went down the
bank with it, and had miraculous
escape from death. After the smash-up
the boy Charlie Welch was seen to run
from near the track towards home. He
was followed and arrested, but denied all
knowledge of the crime until he was

Torn in Pieces by a Mule.

A boy named Conrad Cramer was
engaged at the Empire Mines in Luzerne
county in hauling coal-dirt from a culm
pile to a boiler room, in car drawn by
mule. On the return trips Cramer
would ride. After several efforts the
mule succeeded in throwing the boy
from his back, and as he fell he became
entangled in the harness. The animal
plunged and reared and bit at the boy,
who was dangling in front. Finally the
mule leaped forward and ran, dragging
Cramer over the sharp rocks. When
those who followed came up to the
animal they found the body of Cramer
literally munched to pieces by the mule.
The beast had gnawed off the right arm
at the shoulder, torn the flesh clean off
the lower left leg so as to expose the
bones, and had opened gaping and rag
ged wounds with his teeth in every part
of the body.

A Brave Boy.

On Tuesday morning last a child of
Mr.. G. F. Brady, of Delaware City,
while standing upon well curb, was,
by the breaking of a rotten board, pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the well
distance of forty-five feet. A boy named
Frederick Hilabum, who was standing
near, Immediately pulled off another
plank, threw his arms around the pump
stock and slipped rapidly down to the
water, grasped the child as it was sink
ing for the third time, and though the
water was very deep, succeeded in hold
ing himself, as well as the child, above
until ropes were lowered to him, by
which he was safely drawn out The
child is less than three years old, and,
strange to say, escaped injury save a
few scratches. The boys heroism and
presence of mind in his successful eff
forts to save the child deserve universal
commentator.
