A Brave BOY.

The HERALD's special despatch from
Terre Haute, Ind, tells dramatic story.
At public school in that city, during the
morning hours yesterday, one Of the scholars,
named Frank Peschcck, discovered that tho
upper stories Of the building were on fire.
There were ut the time nearly five hundred
scholars in tho school, and hasty cry,
the slightest display of terror on the part of
the lad, would beyond doubt have sncri-
feed many young lives and have plunged
many families into the deepest affection
that can bo visited on human beings--the
sudden loss of their children by painful
and horrible death. The brave boy for
coolness in such moment of peril is the
perfection of courage maintained his pres
ence OF mind, and, going quietly to tho
principal of tho school, communicated to
him in whisper the fearful intelligence.
Even then the removal OF the children
caused such alright that some of tho little
ones leaped from the lower windows, for
tunately without sustaining injury; but
the bulk of the scholars passed out in an
orderly manner, under the guidance and
controI of the teachers. Tho srana the

THE WEATIEH.-The meteorological condi-
ions in the northeastern districts are, to say
jhe least very singular. The area Of low
barometer which moved over Nova Scotia from
Dhc nortl, on Friday last has remained nearly
stationary ever since, the only change taking
place being q steady fall OF pressure. The area
Of highest barometer extends over the South
Atlantic States, the central valley districts
and the Northwest. In the latter district,
however, the pressure is falling and well
marked depression is advancing toward the
Lower Missouri Valley. This disturbance is
likely to affect the central valleys, particularly
In those regions where the rivers are at present
frozen over, by causing general breaking up of
the ice and u consequent formation of gorges.
Rains will also probably attend It's movement
and will tend to produce floods in the low dis
fricts along tho rivers. Snow fell during yes
terday in tho lake regions, but The warm tenn
peraturc did not permit it to remain very long
ON the ground. Cloudy weather prevailed in
the lake districts, Middle Atlantic and New
England States. Elsewhere IL was generally
clear. A decided fall has taken place in the
temperature of the Gulf States. 1t has also
fallen slightly in the extreme Northwest and
has risen in the other districts. The winds have
been fresh to brisk in the lake regions, the Mid
die Atlantic and New England States, and gen
orally light elsewhere. Another disturbance is
approaching the British coasts and will prob.
ably arrive during so-day. The special weather
cable states tllat an castcrly gale is blowing at
1Iolyhead aud the barometer is low. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be warm and partly cloudy. Tomorrow il
will bo warmer aud cloudy. possibly with rain.

pulse which bore it so far onward in its
career of commercial greatness. AS that
great impulse was the consequence of sur
mounting geographical difficulty, SO also
is the present. Our rapid transit roads
have overcome the obstacle to the growth of
the city which was interposed by the form
of the island. One OF these roads is
already completed to the Harlem River,
the other will be before the end of the
present year, and in the year following
there will be extensions Of both stretching
far up in the direction of Westchester
county. Nothing is more certain than that
these roads will revolutionize the distri-
button of population in this vicin-
ity. Measuring distance by time the
upper part of the island will be SO
much nearer to the fashionable shops,
which are rapidly moving up town,
and to the places of amusement, which are
also moving in the same direction, that no.
body will be willing to cross either river
when equally cheap residences can be had
on the northern part Of the island. The
vivifying effect OF this certainty on the
value of property and on the increase OF
population will not be inferior to wha. took
place in the remarkable years which
followed the completion of the Erie
Canal. The thing is so perfectly assured
that the owners OF property now, as they
did then, will act on this certainty and
anticipate what is surely coming 1t for
tunately happens that the completion OF
the rapid transit roads comedies in point
of time with great expected revival OF the
general business of the country by which
the city would profit even without its new
advantages.
The duties which are incumbent on us in
connection with this improved prospect
and the means by which We may reap the
full benefit of the change are interesting
topics for future discussion.

A FIRST night" at the Chestnut Street Theatre
Philadelphia is always an event In the Quaker City;
and the announcement that last evening new play
by Hart Jackson was to be produced for the first
time any stage gave unusual interest to tina
performance. "womans Loyalty" is military
drama in FIVE acts, based upon the story OF Charles
Gibbns novel; "For the King" and adapted In the
dramatzation to our late rebellion. during which its
action is supposed to take place. The scene is laid
first at Oakland, the country residence or Major
Manning, Prince Georges county, Maryland. and
afterward in Kentucky, and the story begins IN
October 1861. The play was admirably acted, as was
10 be expected with such cast. ana seemed to please
the audience though the experiment. OF adapting an
English uot To American incidents Is scarcely to be
commented. "woman Loyalty is announced for

The story upon which this play is based is one OF
many which our Revolutionary developed. yet
which playwrights have carefully avoided Of late
years. Perhaps the remembrance Of later
and infinitely greater struggle has seemed to
transfer the public sentiment Of patriotism from
the realm OF idcalism and Fourth of July smoke to
that of prosaic drafts and burdensome taxes but II
