' , ' ' " Mrp5Gr , Tho following thrilling incident was related to lis by a lady w bo is now a resident of Btlh, and we' give it very; nearly in her -own words:' ' I was very-(bud of peta wben I was a girl, and the feeling grew with my growth. Lambs and kittens were my constant play-fellows in childh jod; I owned and petted a colt when I was older; nor did . I tsuflur in attention to be turned from my duuibcompao-ions until God blessed tne with a child ol my own. When my littlo Freddy was born, a new fount of love was opened to me, for I had found tho truo object of! woman's caro and soliciludo. And then, in the years follow, ing, two daughters were given unto me whom I palled 'Kate and Clara. ; While Clara was still an infant, my husband brought home a dog. It was a beautiful animal of 'medium size, with long silky hair, 'anil colored brown and white. S If I remember rightly, Charles told me that it was a cross botween a spaniel and Newfoundland. At all ovents, the, dog was a beauty, and was as kind and Intelligent as ho was handsome. He very ' soon became attached to my children, and would spend whole hours at play( with thorn, bearing with all their tormenting pranks, and really seem ing to WW satisfied while enduring the ; .i ' . most oi , tueir . annoy aaco. - Ana uiea no would watch by the cradle of my darling, rooking her gently when she . wag restless in her sleep, and keeping aft Interlopers at dis- tattCfc! ' ' , i, , i ,, , ',",. , , And so Fido for thus we Called the dog ' became not only a member of our household, but an important member,' and we all loved him vety much. . tie was faithful as faith itself, and we taught him many curious tricks which he performed to the edification and wonderment of visitors, and always to the delight of himself and my children.!-- . , -;11irio pissed on, and Clara was four jurg old, Kato was six, and Master Freddy had grown to be a young lad of eight. To be sure he was only a mere boy; but he seemed very old to me so old that I called him ny littlo man, and folt quite proud of bis genteel appearance and precocious attainments. One day it was in tho forenoon my husband came in and, as he took a scat near the table by which I was at work, I noticed that something troubled him. I waited awhile for him to Bpeak, but as he did not, I asked h'm what he was thinking of. "I'll tell you." he said, trying to assume a carelessness, which he did not feel; "I have been thinking that we had better part with Fido." "Part with Fido!" I cried, in amazement."I mean sell him," continued my hu3band "Sell him! Why, are you crazy, Charles?'' "No, Hannah. I am in earnest. "Then," said I, meaning to make a very short matter of it, for I was determined, "we shall keep that dog just as long as he lives. It is my dog, and I cannot part with him.", . Charles made no reply to this, but sat looking at his fingers which were drumming upon the table, and I asked him if he was in earnest about selling the dog. I "No,',' he said; "to tell you the plain truth I was not." . I was about to chide him for having startled me so, but' he stopped me and resumed ' "I was not in earnest about selling him, but lam in earnest about getting rid of him. We must not keep him." . I sat down and asked mr husband to explain."Have you not noticed," he said, "for two or three days, that Fido has appeared differ ont from his usual habits?" I bad noticed that the dog had been un- frilling to play that 1m seemed fractious and azy; and, now that I thought of it more par ticularly, I remembered that he had been drooping, with his head down, and bis limbs weak. ... -i "Yes, I think Fido must be sick," I an swered, after I had thought of all this. "Very sick dangerously so, I am afraid,'' added my husband.,. His tone startled me, and I asked' him what he meant . "Why," he replied, 'I think the dog is eo ing mad! 1 am conUdent (hat tie has hydrophobia!" j Oh, no, no, I could not believe that. It was too terrible. The very lov I bad fori the-dog-would not let rnv be too easily- con- ' vinced. Hut Charles assured me that there i was every probability of tho truth of Lis slate- , ment; and he said it Wat our duty to kill the animal at once. fie had noticed the peculiar chango in Fido's harbits:soine days before, and he felt sure that the fatal malady was upon him. "But there have been no mad dogs in the town," I suggested. "There has been no human being bitten by one that I know of,'1 my husband said; "but," ho told me, "there is no doubt that Mr. Sargent' dog died of that discaso. lie was found dead this morning.under the Lai n, where he had scooped out a largo hole in hie struggles, and his breast and legs were covered with tho foam that had dropped from his lips. His symptoms, for a few days previous had been just like Fido's. 'There can be no mistake about the matter." Had I been governed by my reason,! should have let my husband kill the dog at once; but my fondness for the poor faithful animal was too deep for calm consideration, jtnd I begged that he might be spared. . , "We ought not," Baid Charles. ' I "Let him live till night," I urged "Let him live till you come home this evening-and then, if be is no better, or if his symptoms aro worse, you may take him away." My husband finally yiolded to my persuasion; but ho made me promise that I would keop tho dog in the stablo, where he then was and see tbnt the door was so fastened that the children could not open it and go in. After this I got dinner ready, and when the meal Was over, Charles went away to bis business, and Freddy, and Kate wont to scbool. ' l '" ' .. ' . Until the middle of the afternoon I was very busy with my household matters, but when I had gained time to rest awhile I thought I would go out and look at poor Fi do. and see if. I could do anything for him; so I gave Clara my 'seal' to play with and hav ing cut off a ft w slices of nice, beef, I went to the little stable and openod the door. I saw the dog lying upon some straw in a far cornr, and, though I spoke to bim as I entered, still ealllnghis name affectionately ;aid when I had come close to thaspot whore he lay, I put forth a piece of the meat; Ho looked up at me and growled. I. was upon the point of chiding him for his ill manners, when he gave another growi, and gnashed his teeth at me. . At this t started back, for I now noticed that his eyes bad a strange glare, end that his breath was short and heavy; and hardly had I made the movement when he sprang op and took a step towards me; but did not touch me he rushed by mo out at the door, where .be stood trembling fcr a moment, as thongh he were pained and dizzy, and then be crawled under the stable, through an aperture iu the underpinning. I did not try to call him out, for I did not dare; nor did I oVtre to look in after him, ft f I was now assured that he was mad, or, at loast, that he soon would be, and I hastened back to the house), and shut myself in. I aujipose I ought to have got help, and, at least, have had the aperture beneath the sta ble stopped up; but'I did not think of it, I only thought of giving -the charge into my husband's hands when be got hdtne; and I supposed, if I suppobed anything, that the animal would remain where he was until that time; and, If! had any uneasiness, it was in sympathy for poor Fido's sufferings. At five o'clock Freddy and Kato camo home from school; but as one )f the neighbors was with me at the time, I simply sent them up stairs to put away their books and change their clothes, intending to warn them of the danger at the stable when thoy camo down. I went with my visitor to the front door, and while there my two children came down and went cut by the back way. I reacted tho kitchen as soon as I could, where Clara was at play, and just then Freddy and Kate came running in. ' "O, mamma, mamma," the boy cried, 'jus1 come out and look at Fido! He acts so funny and his mouth is all white!" Hardly had the words been spoken when the dog came bounding into the houso, through the porch, into the kitchenhis eyes glaring like flro, his teeth gnashing, and thoJthick wh'.te foam driveling from his lips. He hesitated a moment, and then, as though he had selected the lovliest Iamb of the flock, he started towards my darling my little Clara! There was no time lor reason then, nor should I have been capable of reason bad there been hours to spare. My instincts guid ed me, they led me to see with a clear, sure vision just what was transpiring, and they led me to act. There was no reflection, no will of my own; but, with the rapidity of thought, with spirit power, I put forth my strength. I saw the dog start for my loved one, and with a wild cry, Heaped upon him. I caught him by the collar which he woro around bis neck, caught him with both my bands, amid bore bim down to the floor; and then I bade Freddy to run for help, but the little fellow was too much freightened to quickly comprehend me, and it was some time ere he started. I told him to call upon the first man h) found. In the meantime I was struggling with the infuriated dog, and trying to persuade Kale and Clara to run away up stairs, I might die, I might not be able to escape; but I would save them. Tho boast might bite me and then get free, and then fasten his deadly fangs upon them. I begged, I urged, I commanded; but in vain. The poor, freightened things dared not move, could not. They were fixed with terror, and could only crouch in the corner, and Cry out: ' Mamma, mamma!" Many minutes, it seeimd to me a limitless time, 1 lay there n 1 hold the dog. He ftrug- (jla furuiuwljl. 111- (jnauhud his tOOth WltU fiie- ry ruge, great drops of while foum lltw from his mouth, and he ploughed the painted floor with his claws. And still he could not bite me; for I crushed his belly upon the floor, and hel l bis nock, held by the collar and the thick curling hair, with the might of a giant. But I could not have held then much longer, for the strength of the rabid brute seem- d to be increasing, while mine was surely leaving inc. I knew that I was growing, weak, and that only the imsti. cl which was kopt alive by that oft-repeated cry of 'Mamma! mamma'.' gave me the strength which supported me; Lot even that cry was failing of its magic power, and it was becoming indistinct of my nooses, when a sudden chango in its burden revived me. It now said "Papal Papa!" I did ro: see h t foil med. I heard a a mnd a deep fatal sound it was to some thing, then a struggle, and then I was lift ed up and borne away. "No! no!" I cried. "But, O! my child ren!" And my husband told me they were safe, they had not been touched. They came to me, they kissed tne, and cried, "Oh, mamma ain't you glad papa came?' and then I sank away again. 1 was ill many days, but 1 recovered at length, and became strong once moro. i , 1 cherish tho memory of Fido's kindness and faithfulness, and when I think of bim as he once was, I sometimes think how pleasant it might be to witness the pranks and receive tho caresses of another like him. . But I cannot forgot the terrible drama which em' ed his life, and whilo that memory lasts I want not another dog in my housth Id. A File of Money taken at Terre Haute A temporary agent of the American Express Company at Terre Haute, within the past two or three weeks, has takon packages and parts of packages of various amounts of money passing through that office such sums as to make an aggregate reaching nearly $10,-000. This was all staked and lout at gaming tables. The last sum taken was an entire package of $14,000 for the Parke County Bank. This was all lost in one night at a gambling saloon. Growing desperate at this heavy loss, the last of a series of considerable length, the express igent pulled pistol from his pocket and demanded the money or the life ol the winner of the pile. The money was handed back tt him, and bis depredations in the expreu office discovered the next day. . Measures were taken to recover the money nearly all of which was ascertained to be in the hands ol parties in Terre Haute mostly young men in the habit of playing cards for amusement and profit. The position of the parties holding the money was such that in order to prevent open exposure the whole amount of the money stolen, staked and lost, with the exception of some $300, was surrendered to the Express Company. hulianajnlii Journal .- Tut Di7rxBKNcc.

(Wye E. Pugh. The Bloody Stripes on our Banner. A recent letter from Lawrence, K. T., to the N. Y. Times, says: Dr. Doy, the rescued citizen of Kansas from the jail at St. Joseph, Missouri, is here with bis family. Sheriff Morgan of Buchan an county, has offered a reward of $1,000 for the recapture of his prisoner. He also says (.privately) that ho has 5,000 In expend, if necessary, to eecure the reture ol Doy to bis custody. Up to tho piesent time no one has made any attempt to secure the above re ward. '"r " This saino Sheriff Morgan took a poor col ored citizen of Ottawa, Illinois, J nines Lisbon, while on Lis way to Pike's Punk, imprisoned him in tho St. Joseph jail for four months, took him out ore day and subjected him to the most cruel torture with a rawhide, to make him say that he was a fugitive slave from Culpepper county, Va. It was a terrible punishment. L'sbon stod out for a while, refusing to say he was a slave, but at last be gave up to his tormentor, who sold bim to a trailer ginr South for $1,041. Illinois, with over one million inhabitants is powerful a sovereign State and should assert her sovereignty in the vindication of ber honor, by reaching out her arm to rescue this native born citizen from the southern house of bondage. ' Dr, Doy,' during bis confinement in the jails of Missouri, was eye-witness to many a heart-rending scone the torture to which laves were subjected; and I understand he is preparing an account of his imprisonment for the press. ' . If Southside Adams, instead ol putting up' at the hotels, and fine residences of Southern planters, during bis visit at the south.had been imprisoned with the slaves in jails, be would have seen Slavery os it is, and never have been guilty of publishing such a book as be did. A young man, a native of the old Key stone State, Allen Pinks, of Pittsburgh,renn.i was kidnapped on the Missouri confined in Piatt City jail for six months, made his af cape, was recaptured and confined an addl tional four months and advertised to be sold as a slave during (he present month. -He again made his escape and reached this eity in safety, where he is now employed in one of our hotels. His free papers were stolen from bim, and no means allowed him to write to his friends. They intended to sell bim into Southern Slavery, but his fortunate escape prevented the consummation cf villainy. It is quite a common affair to kidnap free persons of color and sell them ss slaves.

The Richmond Enquirer, speaking of the local fashions in that city, says: The late Parisian fashion of ladies going dressed with the utmost plainness, to church, has brought out in America a similar desire, and at present, modest dresses, of the Quaker grades of color, with plain, full skirts without flounces, are becoming the bon ton 'couleurt ecues,' as the French call them, are elegant in their simplicity, and look far more tasteful and lady-like than the brilliant notions vulgar taste loves to spread itself in.

A Fieo-bom Woman Ten Years a Blave. SHE ESCAl'Ei I The Toronto Qlobe gives an account of the perils of Sarah Jano Giddings, alias Young who about a month since, while at the Falls, concluded to leave her mistross service, and fled across tho river to Canada. ' Her master, not disposed to part with his "property" (a likely and fine looking mulatto woman, twen-two years of age) in this manner, followed Sarah Jane to the Clifton Houo, where sho had obtained employment,nnd attempted to induce her to return with bim. Sarah Jane tells her story to the editor of the Globe, as lollows: ' "On Saturday Mr. Shears, horlandlorJ.re quested Sarah Jane to go to one of the cot tages adjoining the hotel, for the purpose of cleaning it out, accompanying her himself to the door. As soon as she eutered she found, to her great amazement, her old master wait ing to receive her. He immediately locked the door, and putting the key in bis pockot, plied every possible art to iuduce ber to cross the river. Fvery effort, however, was reject ed, the girl prefering freedom to slavery, with all its promised advantages. Ho kept her here for some time, refusing to let bur go, I threatening violence, if necessary. Fortun ately, some of the colored waiters noticed that all was uot right, and, after receiving no sat isfaction from Mr. Shears, to whom they communicated their fea'S, they resolved on rescu- their friend themselves. Sallying out, they broke the window, entered the room, and car ried off their prize.takicg her to Drummond-ville, where they kept her till monday, and sent her off to Toronto.' The Glob', says she arrived safely ir. that city, and will, no doubt, be perfectly secure. She is quite destitute, having loft every thing behind her, but she will not want friends in her new home. Hor case is a very peculiar one. She was born of a free woman in New. York city, but when only twolve years of aga was taken to Texas, whero she" was uiado a slave in the dmily of a Mr. Giddings, with whom we believe she has sinco lived." "I say.

"Guess tew dollars about would git him, wouldn't it? I'll give you that for him." "Yaos; be isn't wort dat." "Wal, I'll take him, " said the pedlar. "Shtop!" said the Dutcnman; dcro's one t'ing about dat dog I gan't sell." "Oh! take off bis collar; I don't want that" suggested the pedlar. "Tain't dat," replied Mynheer: he's a boor dog, but I gan't sell de wig of Jtis tail when I comes horn."

A boy got his grand father's gun and loaded it, but was afraid to fire; he, however liked tho fun of loading, aud so put in another charge, but was still afraid to fire. He kept on charging, but without firing, until he got six charges in tho old piece. His grandmother, learning his temerity, smartly reproved him, and grasping the old continental, discharged it. Tho result was tremendous, throwing the old lady on her back. She promptly struggled to regain her feet, but the boy cried out "Lay still, granny, there art jive nuire charges to go of yet!"
