Young Girls HerOism.

Miss Teresa Harshberger, of Frank.
lin, brough, Blair county, Pa, is a
young lady who recently performed an
act of self sacrificing devotion for the
benefit Of the family Of Mr. John Hoy,
of East Conemaugh, whose little ones
were all taken down, with smallpox
several weeks ago. 1t was apparently
impossible TO secure a nurse, and Mrs.
Hoy was wornout with watching and
caring for her children both day and
night, when one evening in the midst
of her despair for help, in walked Miss
Teresa. She laid aside her hat and
wraps in huSineSs-like manner,
which shO we'd she had come 10 stay,
and no aiuOunt OF eXp0stu lation
could induce her to leave. Her share
of the seIf-imposed bur len was faith
fully performed, and when the baby
died she washed the body, placed upon
it the grave clO,he,, a. consigned it to
the undertaken for lnterment She re-
maiued until the remaining children
fully recovered, assisted to wash the
infected CIOi hos, clean and diSintrct the
house, and then quietlv returned home.
This lady never had the smallpox, and
her courage in entering the Hoy family
rs an independent nurse is to be much
the more commended. She has been on
very intimate terms with Mrs. Hoy,
aud hence her reason for taking the
chances

The boat is a full.rigged brig, and was

part of this fine piece OF Workmanship
is, that Mr.. Simpson has but one arm,

that he did the work without any help

ton should be given to the sale of IL
quor by pretended hotel keepers in de-
nance Of law, and urges that no effort
