The latest lie in behalf Of the CO.
nine race, is a story from Italy. It
tells that fisherman went out to pnC
a dog to death by drowning. He fell
in, and was saved by the faithful
brute. All this time there was 2
heavy stone about his neck. The au~
thor of the story would have rend@red
his tale more attractive, had he made
the animal present its owner wlFo 2
purse and some dry clothing.

The Cumberland Times of Thurs
day last says: AS freight train 70,
Pittsburg and Connellsville railroad,
was about leaving ConnellsviIle for
this place, on Tuesday night, four
tramps were discovered secreting
themselves and put off by the con-
ductor. They, however, succeeded
in getting on ag in after the train
was under way, and when near Blue
Store Quarry they approached the
brakeman, who was engaged at his
post in putting down brakes, and
without warning showed him down
between the cars. With rare pres
cnce of mind the unfortunate man
threw himself out from the track
when he lost his hold and fell along
side Of the rail. This fearful outrage
was plainly seen by the engineer ol
the hel per, but it was out of his pow
er to aid TIE brakeman. Tho train
was stopped at once and pursuit
made for the capture Of the tramps
who Jumped off as soon as the speed
had sufficiently slackened to enable
them to DO so, and eventually es.
capped. The victim of this fendish
and murlerous assault was picked up
and found to be seriously hurt; but
the character of his injuries had not
been fully ascertained when the gen
tleman left who furnished us the
above information. We regret to say
that the name OF the brakeman an was
rot given us.

Robert NJ. Woodward, a son Of c.
w. Wo dward, clerk in the comptrol-
lers office, was found dead in his
room at Reds hotel, corner of Fay
ette and Holiday streets, Baltimore,
on Saturday afternoon last, with two
empty bottles, labeled "Laudanum,
on a table by the bed. He came to
the hotel Thursday night and was as
signed to room No. 2l. On Saturday
it was noticed that the room was not
opened during the dsv and Mr.. Lo-
gand, friend of Woodward, having
been apprised of the fact, he deter
mined to ascertain the cause. Ac-
companied by j. Wells, clerk at the
hotel, he tried the door of Wood
wards room, but found it locked on
the inside. An entrance was, how
ever, made through door communl.
eating with room No. 22 and Wood.
ward then discovered lying dead up.
on tie bed. Coroner walker was no.
titled and summoned a nry of in.
quest. 1t having been shown that
young Woodward was in the habit Of
taking laudanum to cause sleep, they
found that death was caused by an
overdose Of this drug, but which was
probably not taken with suicidal in
tent. The remains were placed in
charge Of John H. Weaver and the
father Of the deceased, who was in
Washington, apprised by telegraph OF
his sons death.
