Thrilling Inoident A Conductor on a Cow Catcher. - Our readers will daabUeas, recollect reading a thrilling incident published bj as some time since of an engineer upon some western railroad, ha- eugine and saving a child, which was playing upon tbe road, from destruction, by throwing it off the track. Aft incident of precisely the similar nature, and displaying as much heroism, occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad last Friday, the particulars of which we gather from the llolii-daysburg Statulard. As one of tho freight traius coming east rounded a sharp curve, near Birree Sidir.g, a station about twelve miles west of Huntingdon, tha en gineer aw & small child silting io the middle of the track, playing unconscious of its dauber. He instantly wbUtled down the brakes and reversed his enimy butihe weigut of the train and the high speed at which it was running rendered it impossible to stop betore reaching the child, J crossin after dark. A span of th bridge reach which must inevitably have been crushed to death, j ing from the fihote out over a portion of the riv which a tongue in the lid loosly fits. When a corse is placed in the coffin; this groove is filled with melted cement; the lid is" placed on, and firmly hald by three iron bands until the cement is hardened. Through a small hole in the top of the coffin the air is then extracted by means of an air pump. By these, means, Mr. Cannoo claims; bodies may be preserved-in their natural state for all time to come, and when placed in vaults, can always be accessible to the gaze of those who are left benind. The expense of these coffins will be no more than that of an ordinary wooden coffin, and if the expectations of the inventor are realized so far as the preservation of bodies is concerned, they will immediately come into general use, and our friend Cannon will realize a magnificent fortune. " Thrilling1 Adrentara Three Men Mira-culoasly Saved from a Terrible Death. As has already been. stated, last Monday morning about eleven o'clock, the new wire Suspension Bridge spanning tbe Scioto just above its confluence at this point with the Ohio, was undermined and prostrated . by the . force of the Scioto current. That morning, at an early hour, Mr. K. B. Cassidy, and two other citizens cf this pi.te, crossed the bridge in a buggy, on a hunting expedition. They were vtit in vhe woods all day, and bad not heard of the fall the bridge. They returned in the evening, and arrived at . the Advance, in Female Education. We have lately read of a Girl's School, in which a prominent branch of education taught was the use of tha sewing machine, by which every youn lady could become proficient on that useful instrument, which would be quite ad well as proficiency ou the putio. Mrs, G tge writes of theex-rcises of a school hear Perth A tuboy, t'ew Jersey a follows: : Any oue who will visit Eunlewood School, may see a sight that will do their hearts good.. A In this emergency, when most men would have been parljxed with horror, the couductor of the train, Daniel McCoy, with steadiness of nerve that has le w parallels, run to the front of the engine, crawled down on the cow-catcher, and holding hiincelf with one band, leaned as far forward as possible, and as he approached thu child, with asweepin? blaw of the other he threw it off ihe track, it was the work of an instant and requir ed a steady hatid and a cool head to accomplish it, but ho was equal to the emergency. The train was immediaiely Mopped, and on coinp back the child was found I) injr at the foot of a small embankment, some twenty or thirty feet ' from the track ot the roartValitfe -and kicking, but some what stunned and bruised. The child -belonged to a farmer named Nvff, residing immediately a- long the road- Bears around Chillicothe-On Monday evening last about seven o'clock, as Mr. Henry Adams and another gentleman were walking on tbe Frankfort road two hundred yards below Adam's mill, the observed a large black animal crossing a canal and road few rods in advance of them. Thev animal jumped the fence on the west side of the roed, and scampered off toward WorthiDgtqp'i hill. These gentlemen, somewhat frightened at tbe unexpected vision, left for the nearesthouse. After a safe interval they returned and fallowed the track. A careful examination by then and others left no doubt that the animal was a, veritable bear. This is their season of migvatien, and the animal was probably crossiug fronj the Alleghanies to the Kentucky Mountain. -4irrjer, llA. " v.' Old Brown.; : The Republican press have (evinced a great anxiety that Old Brown should be hong immedi ately. There is no mistake Tn this. - They want the old man's blood for party capital. But the Virginia authorities have disappointed their humane hopes, in so far as to delay the execution for a month. If the sentence could be'tom muted to imprisonment for life, it would be an act characteristic of Virginia magnanimity, and we hope that such may be the final determination. Upon reflection, we feel that Old Brown, guilty and blood-stained as he is, is not half so criminal as the cowarJly incendiaries wh-o sent him upon his mad errand. , . .. .

A correspondent of the Geneasee Farmer tells how he preserves sweet potatoes, thus: In the fall collect from the road the dost that has been formed of a naixture of sand and elay, and dry- it tnorougnij, oj either placing it on a platlorm in the sun or in a kiln. Now take an old barrel putia a thin layer of the dust on the bottom then a layer of potatoes- one deep only then another of sand, so as to completely cover them Ac, oatil jour barrel is filled, if yon happen to have enough to do it Keep the barrels, after being filled, in a dry placo until frosty weather, then remove them to your kitchen loft, where they can have the benefit of the fire below to keep them from freezing and also from becoming damp, either of which causes them to rot immediately. Now, if yoo can keep "Bridget, from digging them all out and roastiag them, you will have them soand and lively the first of May. Indeed, we have kept them a whole year in this manner, and have practiced it with uniform success for a number of years. Eule for Measuring Lumber.

The Tobacco Chewer . Perhaps there would be fewer cbewer8 of tobacco than there are, if every one would investigate for himself the nature of the habit. The following would deter auy voung gentleman from ! industrious manufacturers, in our midst, of na-entering upon so nnclean' a habit: "Let it be , tive French brandy. We trust there is some pure where the "best brands" of Champagne are dai: If manufactured, for the use ot the intelligent, epicurean, fastidious, and critical people of the United States. This seems to be evidence of a praisworthy spirit to meet the growing demands of . tbe country for Champagne wines, without subjecting the country to the fmpertinent inter-fereuce of foreign merchants in our wine trade. If we have so many institutions of this sort io the city, why, in heaven's natiie, should wo not sustain them in preference to the foreign ones? The same question may be put in favor of the Separating the Sexes in School On this point, Mrs. Stowe, a celebrated Glasgow teacher, uses the following language, which is worthy of attention : . The youth of both sexes of our Scottish peasantry have both been educated together ; and, as a whole, tbe Scotch are the moet moral people on earth. Education in England is given separately, and we never have beard from practical men that anj benefit has arisen from this arrangement. Some influential individuals there jmoura oyer the prejudice on this point. In Dub-jHn a larger eaber ot girl turned out badly who jhad been educated aldtie until thejr attained the age of maturity than those who were brought op the separation of the sexes had been found to be injorioas. - It is stated, on the best authority, that of those girls educated in schools or convents apart from boys, the greater majority go wrong within a month after being let loose in so-xiety, and meeting tbe other sex. They cannot, ft is aald, resist the slightest coraplimeot of flat-terj. . The separation is intended to keep them Strictly moral but this unnatural seclusion actn-aIj generate the very prinei pie desired to be avoided. We may repeat that it ia impossible to raise the girls a high, Intel Wctaally, without boys as with thrm, and it U impossible to raisa Jboyt morally aa bigb withoDt girla. .The girl morally elevate the boya, and the boys intellectu ally elevate tbe girla. But mora 4 than this, girU ' themselves are morally elevated by the presence , of girls.

Boys and girls fro a the e cf two ft three years to that cf iborteea or Crteea have taken for granted, that a young man who is a tobacco chewer may live twenty years, in each day there will issue from his mouih half a pint of a fluid too nauseous to describe.

The Nantes journals reeord a melancholy af fair: A patty of seven priests, and a young man pupil of an ecclesiastical, college, being on a holiday visit to some friends at Nantes, hired three days ago a boat to amuse themselves by fishing in the neighborhood of St Nizarie, and after they bad been so engaged some time asud den gust of wind thew the boat on one side. Without reflection, all the party collected on the other side, and this caused the boat to upset. j The seven ecclesiastics and their companion, together with two men and a boy who were with them were precipitated into the water. Some of these dung to the boat for tome time, but even. tually of the eleven persona all vera drowned ex cept one of the priest and the boy, who swam ashore. .'

A Javan criminal was condemned by the Sultan to fight a large Royal Tiger, whose ferocity was raised to the highest point by want of food and artificial irritation. The only weapon allowed to the human combattant was a dagger with tha point broken off. After wrapping a cloth a-round bis left fist and arm, the man entered the arena with an air of undaunted coolness, and fixed a steady, menacing gaze upon the brute. The tiger sprung ferociously apon his intended victim, and who, with extraordinary boldness and Apidity thrust his left fist into the gaping jaws, and at the same moment, with his keen, though pointless dagger, ripped up the beast to the very heart. ' In less than a minute the tiger lay dead at the conqueror's feet. The criminal was not only forgiven, but ennobled by his sovere:gn, . The Parents of CromweU. Thos, Cromwel, the Lord . Protector's great grandson, was a grocer on Snowhill, and bis son, Oliver, the last male heir of the family, an attorney of London. Several of the Protector's grand daughters children sank to the lowest class of society. : Oue, after seeing her husband die in the workhouse of a little Suffolk town, died her self a pauper, leaving two daughters, the . elder the wife of a shoemaker,and the younger a butcher's son, who had been her fellow servant. An' other of the great Oliver's great grand-daughters had two children, who earned their scanty bread by the humblest industry, the sob as a small working jeweler, and the daughter as the mistress of a little school at Mildenball. .

Boil six ounces of hops in three gallons cf water three hours; strain it off, and let it stand ten minutes: then add half a peck of ground malt, stir it well, and cover it over; return the hops, aud put the. same quantity of water to l he in again, boiling them the same time as before, straining it off to the first mash; stir it up and let it remain for four hour?; then strain it off and set it to work at 90 deg., with three pints of old yeast; let it stand about 20 hours; take the scum off the top, and strain it through a hair sieve; it will then be fit f.ir use. Oue pint is sufficient to make a bushel of bread.

As soon a the yeast seems light, set it away in a cool place, and stir it down if inclined to run over. This yeast is preferred by dyspeptic, to whom the faintest flavor of hops is discernable and distressing, Dollar Newspaper. To Cook Beefsteak. A very good way for cooking beefsteaks is to take a slice of beef, hack it with a knife, instead of pounding, and then lay it in a spider, add pepper and salt, turn and press it while cooking. When done, lay the meat on a platter. Add butter to the gravy, a little flour and water, stir it until it thickens an i pour over the meat This i better than broiling, a it saves the juice and flavor of tho meat. Things Worth Knowing. . Kettles lined with borcalian shonld always be used in preference to those of brass, copper bell metal. The verdigris produced by the vinegar on these metals is extremely poisonous. . ' For most kinds of pickles, cold vinegar is the best. By boiling, much of the strength is lost by evtporaUoD consequently, the piekles are more liable to spoils Those requiring hot vinegar poured over them should remain uncovered until perfectly cold. : Pickles should be kept in either glass or atone jars, and closely covered to exclude the air, oth-erwiaethey soon become soft. A email piece of alum ia each jar will 'make the pickles-firm and crisp. One tablespoonfal of sugar to each quart of vinegar will be found a very " great im pro ve-cent to .all pickles. To Prevent Cats from Killing Chickens: Miss Harriet Martiueau' in the new London paper, Once a Week, is publishing a very inter esting series of sketches' entitled, "Our Farm of Two Acres," iu one of which sketches she gives the following as a sure preventive against the killing of chickeus or birds, by the cats: "When a cat isaseen ti catch a chicken, tie it round her neck, and make her wear it for two or three days. Fasten it securely, for she will make in credible efforts to get rid of it. Be firm for that tin, and tho cmt ia cared hw will tierer again desire to touch a bird. This is what we do with our own cat's, and what we recommend to our neighbors; and when they try the experiment, they and their pets are secure from reproach and danger henceforth. Wild, homeless, hungry, ragged, savage cats are more difficult to catch; but they are out-laws, and may be shot With the certainty that all the neighors will be thankful." An Excellent Cement- Five years ago, we applied a cement, com posed of ahite lead paint, whiting and dry white sand, to a small tin roof that leaked like a sieve; it soon became pearly as hard as stone, has never scaled off and has kept the roof since then perfectly tight. It was put on about the consistency cf thin patty. Slater's cement for stopping ieaks around chimneys is composed Ot linseed oil, whiting, ground glass, and some brick dust.

A patent has been granted in England for an improvement iu the manufacture of soap by the additioa of sulphate of lime to the usual ingredients employed in its manufacture. The tut phate may be added with any of the usual ingredients employed in the manufacture of soap. The proportions of the sulphate which it is best to employ vary according to tbe article manipulated upon, and-the quality of the soap to be produced. Thus about twelve ounces of the dry sulphate are sufficient for one too of best soap; whereas, in common, or bijhly-liquored soap, six or eight pounds may be osed with ad vantage. Soap made with the addition of sulphate of lime becomes hardened, keeps dry, and is not liable to shrink while in water. Its durability is increased, and it does not wear or waste away before iu cleansing properties, are brought into ae-tion. . '- .'
