Thrilling Baihvad idvciitnrr. At thrilling adventure occurred on the passinger truin bound Welt on the valley road flfbw days ago. The train had Jus*t passed Jja-gro when tlve attention of the fire nan was directed to a dark object on the front platform of the mail car. It Jat ••nee flashed across his mind that it might he some one Contemplating the robbery of 'the mail or express, and taking np a billet 6f wood, he approached cautiously, and wi»en within a few feet of of the rear end «( the tender was blinded by the dis charge of a pistol, evidently aimed at his head. Fortunately the bail missed him. The engineer, Mr, Titu» M. Ingrain at once reversed the engine, but the man without attempting to fire again,-jumped from the tvain, striking on his head. For a moment he lay motionless, as though dead, but re entering, he took to his heels. The engin eer and fireman, armed with a billet of wood and a hammer, jumped off as soon as the train baited, and running back, captured the ft-How. He was badly cut about the head and face from the fall, and seemed under the ifflueneo cf liquor. He could give no account of himself, and attempted no expla atTonofhis murderous conduct. The pas-n ■sogers on the train rushed out and were m mf much excited. Several had drawn their revolver*, and flietc was some talk of lynching the fellow on the spot. One gen- Jctnan who travels a great deal In the Weat remarked that since the Reno express Tobbory at Seymour he had carried a revolver and au Arkanses took pick for just inch emergencies. He was anxious than oilier wise to dissect the fellow, but better coynsel prevailed, and Jie was taken aboard the train and confined in the mail car until they arrived at Wabash, where he was turned over to the authorities. The fellow was evidently insane and made several attempts to jump off the train before reach* yig Wabash. We may remark in this CounectioD that no man in his right tnirid ever attemped to get off a train while in tnotion—never. He was held until next day, and then discharged, but on receipt of a dispatch from Superintendent Collins, of this pity, ho was re-arrested and will be held for trial. li fomtg Woman Rurled Alive—Her Motlier BreoitU !) allaniac. • Pittsburg, Feb. 35.—The Republic Has the foWowinp: Several vearß since a beautiful young lady, hardly eighteen years of age, resided in the vicinity of Alleghany, became suddenly sick, and although her patents, who idolized her, summoned the most skillful physicians, the disease increas ed in virulence for some days, and apparent Jy terminated fatally. Her death was a heavy blow loher hiother who loved Her fondly, and, afterwaiting the time prescribed by custom, the body was introduced in one of the cemeteries adjoining onr sister city, A fe ; w ago the lady’s father died, when she expressed a desite to have hie body interred with the remains of‘her daughter. The request was so natural that no objec tions were made to it. The grave of the departed fair one was opened, and upon the body being exhumed, it was discovered, with horror, that tlie body had beeu turned in the Coffin. An investigation proved too conclusively that the poor young lady had been buried alive. Her clothing about the body had been torn into shreds, and her hair pulled from her head by haiidsful. She bad undoubtedly tocovered consciousness while entombed, and afterwards died of suffocation. The mother, whev viewing the corpse, was seiz ed with hysterics, and a few days since was oouveyed to the Dixment Insane Asylum, a raving maniac. A Fighting Parson—A Challenge Declin ed —According lo the Evening Express of "Washington city, parson Slumnan, who was hissed on Sunday evening while preach ing at the National Theatre because he pitched into President Johnson for pardon ing the stationer Dempsey, wlho row hided a Patent Qffioe clerk a week ago, has taken the offensive attitude. The Express says: •‘On Monday Mr Dempsey was waited upon by a gentleman acting as tin* friend of Rev. Mr. Sharrnan, who eouveyed a message to the foliowing effect: “It Mr. Dempsey, will bring his cowhide up to the rooms of Mr. Sharman, No. Franklin square, he will sod Mr. Sharman at home, and Mr. Sharman will in no event prosecute him for assault. r Astounded at the strangen ; *ss of the message*, Mr Dempsey was some time in making is •«t «s a challenge to combat, if Dempsey Hfetb so disposed’. Making inquiry to as certain if his correspondent was a wag or a hMUttic, Me. Dempsey, ascertained that the Rev. Mr. Sharnuin was an eX'Capt&mnf the English army', rigorous in the legs, ditto in the arms* handy with the small sword and lively with the trigger. Ascertaining tlus« preponderating circumstances on the side t»f the Church militant, Mr. Dempsey diclii td to engage iu combat with Mr. Sharman, and at the latest accounts the Church mili— taot was also the Church triumphant. “Will you give me that rmg?? said a *il!ige dandy,“lo a lady, -‘tor it resembles nay love for you: it has no end.” “Eactiee, me, *Mr, ’ was the reply. “I chooae to keep tt as heftig emblematical of mine, it has .no begining.” V Punch 6ays that women first resorted to light lacing to prove to the men how well ’they could bear tight squeezing* Thf. Editor— A Schoolboy’s Composition. —Tirf*editor is one of the happiest animals in ihp kqown world He can go to the eir vus afternoon ami evening, without paying a cenTf also to inquests and hangings. He has free.tickets to pic-nics and strawberry festivals, gets wedding cake sent to him, and scrutinies gets a licking, but not often, for lie can take back in thejnext : ssuo, which he generally does. I never knew only one editor to‘get licked. His paper busted that day, and he couldn’t take nothing back. While other folks have got to go to bed early the editor can sit up late every night, at H sit all that i» going on. The boys think it a big thing to hang out till ten o’clock. When I am a man I mean to be an editor so I can stayout at nights. Then that will le bully. The editor.don’t have to saw wood, or to do any chopping, exo< pt with the scis sors. Railroads get up excursions for him, knowing if they didn’t he’d make tnem get up and git. In politics he don’t care much whom he goes for if they are on his side. If they ain’t be goes for Vm any way, «<> it amounts to neatly the Rame thing. There are a great many people trying to be editors who can’t, and some of them hare been in the profession for years. They can’t see it though. If I was asked if I had rather have an or be a circus tider, I Would say let rnego and be an edi tor. Shrewd Method of Evading thx Tariff Laws.— One of the shrewdest dodges yet invented for evading the payment of duty on imported goods has just been reported to the Treasury. A Boston hotel keeper, wi&Mufr furnish his hotel with the very bust of furniture at the cheapest posible cost, went to Paris, a short time since, rented a house, bought about $60,C00 worth of furniture and took it into the house. A portion ot the furniture, such as bedding, towels, carpets, &c., were made up in the house by workmen employed for the pur pose, Aa officer of the customs in New York city, who happened to he in Paris at that time, was invited by the hotel proprie tor to become his guest, to which he consen ted, thereby saving all expenses of board, lodging, «&c. In a few days after the Cus tom House officer left; the furniture was shipped to New York, and, it is alleged, was admitted free of duty on the proper evidence having been admitted showing that the goods were personal effects which had been in use before shipment. Once landed in New York, the furniture was forthwith carried to Boston, and the enter prising Yankee has achieved a success. Food for Smiles.
