Mr. Findle^ is an unassuming young man, but his brav ely is, appreciated by the public. He was ‘born in Albany and came to Syracuse some eighteen years ago. Although only twen^y-A housewife, three years old, he has a wife and family, and- ha© served five years at liis trade as a carriage-painter. About twelve years ago Findley began catching runaway horses. He was somewhat timid at first, as may be imagined, but he gained confidecqe in fem- . self .as ^succeeded and experiiflcfcted, and ’fibw ooes Dot hesitate to throw ^binwelf in the* pathway of the most iniuriated steed. • Findley’s first experience as a hbrse-catcher was in Auburn. He was waiting for a train near the depot one afternoon twelve years ago, when lus-attention was attracted Jjy a runaway horse, which was dashing ‘toward‘liiin at a breakneck p^ce. In the wagon were seated a lady arid her litjje child. The mother was paralyzed fear.And could not speak. The little child screamed in, terror, and the cheeks of the bystanders were blanched as they saw the frightened horse dashing furiously toward a train of cars that stood across the street; The spectators all rushed out of the way, and liackmen and draymen ran to a place of safety. Findley saw in an instant that the occupants of the wagon would.bq.killed if they were thrown against the train of cars. Without hesitating a moment Im planted himself directly in front of the in- iiiriatedf beast and sprang at his head. He threw the horse down, and although the wagon was overturned the occupants were uninjured, 8ave by mere scratches. His method of stopping a horse is as follows: When he sees a runaway horse approaching he plants himself directly in its route and: runs with it in the same direction it is pro ceeding. Findley can run like a deer, and by the time the runaway horse is abreast of him, nine times out of ten he is running as fast as the horse. To seize him by the check rein or one line and bring hirii to a halt is, but the work of an instant. Of course his act is one fraught with great danger, and he may be said to take his life in his hands every time he attempts to stop- ^ a horse. Perhaps the bravest act of his! SotrSwhSt* ^ e ‘ was performed on the seventh of May last. A team of young horses was running at breakneck speed down West Genesee street and across the market in front of the Empire House directly toward the Syracuse Savings Bank. In an instant more they would have plunged into the building. Findley saw them coming and sprang in .their ; path. He seized one by the check- rein and vaulted on its back lightly as a Cat. By a superhuman effort he succeeded iu turning the horses in their course, and brought -down to the ground. This brave act‘was witnessed by Patrick Lynch, who had a handsome* bronze medal struck off, upon which the deed was commemor ated in* fitting terms, and presented to Mr. Findley.

As light Bashed, Manon,: s-Yonan. fell up bbed arid ' In truth, a lovelier spot than Crag Dell could not be found for leagues; and, al though the nearest human habitation was seven miles away, the Glenns were a happy family—living, as they did, in a little king dom of their own, unmolested and un troubled. The prettiest thing about the place was the blue-eyed little Maggie, the sweet cMld who stood by her mother's side one mag nificent September morning, and begged to be allowed to go out to a knoll but a few rods from the cabin, for whortleberries which grew very thick and large there. At first, Mrs. Glenn demurred, for there was much danger to be apprehended from rat tlesnakes, which were quite numerous iu the vicinity; but at last, won over from discretion by iwo round bright tears which, glistened in Maggie's eyes, she gave her consent; enjoining it upon her cMld not to go out of sight of the cabin. With a piother’8 pride and care did Mrs. Glenn watch the little form until she saw Maggie at the knoll busily engaged in cap turing the delicious fruit; and then with a cheerful face she returned to her spinning. Ever and anon the busy hum of the wheel would cease; and the mother’s face pressed the window to see if Maggie still remained upon the knoll. At last she looked forth, and a frightful change fell upon her looked 1 Her cheek became wMte as ashes —a deadly coldness settled in all her limbs; she would have shrieked, but her lips were sealed. There, an the bold rock which overhung the knoll, where Maggie yet knelt in cMld- ish satisfaction, fast filling the bucket with blue berries, crouched an immense panther, evidently preparing for the fatal leap. Mothers! judge of the feelings of that mother! Far from human aid—her hus band at work in the interval two miles be low—and a panther about to devour her only cMld! The golden hair would be dab bled in red blood; the lips wMch had so often been pressed to hers iu the rich kiss of holy affection, would be tom and crushed between the ravenous jaws of the monster. In that hour Martha Glenn thought only of her child, bhe reflected not on the danger to wbieh she exposed herself, in. venturing forth in sight of the terrible ani mal. She remembered only that her cMld —the cMld she had nourished at her breast, and who, for six happy years had slept in her bosom—was in peril! Forth she sped, her hands upraised—her eyes fi^d in move less agony upon the horrible tableau. The panther gave a low growl of delight, as his restless eyes fell on his new victim ; Ms tail lashed the ground in his rage; his arm; the blood flowed in torrents down her diordered earments; *he i^thk afe suf fered Vast past all* mortal‘cfcift^ioi^ and,, yet, in* that fearful hour, 4he t cduragA oi Marth;;' Glenn did not fail her. thought flashed across h ! er mind- with i»er unconfined right hand;tlie strong cord which fastened to her.waist th^long, sharp-pointed shears, wMch were 1 rthen deemed 'nfcCSssary to the toilet of every The glittering steel flashed bright in-the sunlight, and with one power*-' *,<wr in mi AHWe.

Then the torch was applied to the pre mises. When the fire began to spread,; a terrible sight met the eyes of those present. It was a sight that-caused the beholders te flee up trees for safety. Hissing rattlo- snakes, and sqealing rats poured o«t of the building from all directions. As the hot flames sprang towards the roof, the crack ling of the dry boards was mingled with the lattle of scores of maddened serpents, and unearthly yells of rodents. The very roof seemed to be alive with venomous rep tiles, and the bright green and wMte of their outside covering, shone with a glare as lhe flames lit upon them. One of the merr who was a Cfbse eye witness of the scene, says that he was horror stricken at the disgusting spectacle. One large snake, about seven feet long, opened its mouth, and out came at * least iwo score of little reptiles, whose little tails shook in the air as if they too were frenzied, at the destruc tion the flames made of their home.
