Extraordinary Adventure of a Child. The Pawtuket (R. I.) Gazette relates the following adventure of a child, only three and a half years of age, which wandered in to the woods on the 10th instant, and was lost: The course of the child was followed, in part, by the information of those who had seen him, but mainly by his foot-prints in ploughed fields and muddy places. lie was found on Saturday evening five and a half miles, in a sliaifit line, from'his horn.!, fifl'y- Jbur hours and a half after his disappearance, and Jifiy-nhic after he ate his breakfast on the previous Thursday morning. He left, home barefooted and very thinly clad, having nothing on but a very thin dress and an apron, and these were wet when he was found# in this condition he had wandered to the place where he was found, through ploughed fields and woods, and across ditches and swamps. So t;n- as it is known or believed, he had not eaten a mouthful of food since the previous Ihursday morning. Two nights the little fellow must have slept in the open air, on the cold, damp ground, and they were cold nights, too, there being a frost on each, llis feet were badly lacerated, by stones, briars, Ac., and much swollen, but he ap peared to be otherwise in good condition, and is doing well. The latter part of the strange adventure of the child was in and through an extensive swamp, in which people have been lost, and where, some forty years ago, a woman, un able to find her way out, perished, and her body was nor found until nine days after wards. In this swamp is a stream of water five or six feet wide, and of considerable depth, and the mud in it-- bed and on the bank is so soft that it is difficult to cross it.— But this child did cross if ! how, every one who has seen it is puzzled to conjecture. From the appearance of his tracks in the swamp, it is supposed that he wandered about therein several miles. lie was found on the margin of the swamp, but was sup posed to be in it. and between one and two hundred men were engaged on Saturday in searching for him. We question whether there is another instance on record in which a child of so tender years survived -o much fatigue, privation and exposure. Shocking Murder. On Saturday night last, a painter named Nathan Keast, in consequence of some pre vious misunderstanding, waylaycd Mr. John Martin, in ( uion street, and beat him severe ly. One of Mr. Martin's journeymen, named Joseph .Meloy, coming up at the time sepa rated them. In an hour or two afterwards the parties met at the White Swan Hotel, when Meloy knowing the character of Keast, and fearing further violence, resolved to ac company Mr. Martin home. At the alley directly in the rear of Graff's store they were met by Keast, who immediately made a murderous assault on Mr. Martin with a h>ng dirk knife. Meloy interfered, when Keast plunged his knife into Meloy"s left breast, penetrating the right ventricle of the heart, and killing him almost instantly. Oa ring the fracas a number of persons congre gated who identified Keast, notwithstanding which. In* made his escape and went home.— I he alarm soon spread, and tin- most intense excitement prevailed. The body of Meloy was removed to a house at the'basin, after which Officer Lindsey, accompanied by a number of men, went to Keast - house and arrested him. lie was found in bed, the clothes besmeared with blood, and the bloody knife beside it. It was now about 12 o'clock, but Esq. C'cfx was aroused, heard the charge, and made out a commitment, and Keast was lodged in jail. Ou Sunday morning a post mortem exami nation was held by l)rs. Roderigue and ' hristy. It was found that the wound on Meloy was about eight inches deep, and three inches in length, inflicted in the left breast, the blade passing between the ribs, and entirely through the right ventricle of the heart—sufficient to produce instant death. —//"//idarpibitrg Standard. Another Ilrutal Murder. Some three or four months ago a shoemaker Irom New-York, named John Roljeson, locat ed on McAvoy's section of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Kittaning Point, about live miles west of this place. Two weeks ago his wife died, and h" immediately set about making preparations to go back to New-York, but on Sunday night last, (the very night lie lore he intended leaving,) himself and his little son were murdered while in bed asleep. Mr. Robesi •n had soid his shantee to a man named 10. Tracy, who had taken possession, and who, on the night the murder was com mitted, was sleeping up stairs. 1 racy testified before the GorouerN inqui sition, that on the night in question, hearing a noise down stairs, he descended the ladder, found the door open, and six men in the room, three of them armed with axes, and two with guns: that they threatened him ; that his wife got up and lit a candle, and came down stair- just a- one of the robbers felled him. The wife's testimony differed in some very essential points. On examination, the jury found blood and brain in the iu (lemious made on tin; door and window by the alleged robbers, proving pretty conclu sively that the axe that committed the fatal deed broke open the house alter the murder was committed ! A train of circumstantial evidence, at once plain and palpable, was elicited, and Tracy was arrested, and lodged in jail. Mr. Robeson was known to have some three or four hundred dollars in his posses sion. and for this paltry sunt two lives were sacrificed ! Mr. Robeson's little boy was only three years old. The father was killed, it is supposed, by the first blow; the child, however, lingering in great agony untii Mon day evening, when death put a period to his sufferings.— Hollidayr.burrj Standard. A LADY FRIC.UTENED TO DEATH.— .The Rockingham (Va.,) Register states that Mrs. Dietriek, wife of Mr. Jacob Dirtnck, resid ing near Mt. Crawford, in that county, was frightened to death a few weeks since. Her little daughter, for sport, threw a tree frog upon her lap, which commeueod jumping up towards her face, and so frightened nor that she died in two or three days. POSTMASTERS.— The subject of electing Post masters by (he people haa been called up in the House of Representatives, and a resolu tion introduced directing the Committee on the Judiciary to report, if they deemed it constitutional so to do, a bill having for its object the proposed change, and if they think the constitution does not authorize it, to re port 1111 amendment thereto which w ill. tieorpe Peabody, Esq., the eminent London banker, has given to the town of Danvers, Mass., which is his native place, the munifi cent -urn of $20,000 for the establishment of a lyceum and library and the erection of the necessary buildings. THE OLD CEMETERY. Messrs. Editors:— You will oblige numer ous Iriends and subscribers by publishing the foHowing preamble, report, Ac., of the Committee appointed to superintend the Fen cing and Improvement of the Old Cemetery in the Borough of Lewistown. In 1849, a number of Ladies formed an as sociation for the purpose of raising funds to be applied to fence and iinprovo the old cem etery, in this Borough. Their plan was to furnish and procure from persons interested the necessary materials for a supper, and make a moderate charge for admission to par take of it. The net proceeds of this supper amounted to $lO7 52. Finding this sum in sufficient to accomplish the object in view, at a subsequent meeting at the house of Hon. E. Banks, they formally organized their Soci ety by electing Mrs. S toner, President, Mrs. Dickson, Treasurer, and Miss X. 31. Moore, Secretary, and resolved to make an effort to procure the necessary funds by voluntary contributions, from persons who felt interes ted in the matter. At this meeting, 31rs. K. Stoner, Mrs. E. Dickson, Mi.-s N. 31. Moore, .Mrs. J. E. Buoy, Mrs. E. Jacob. 3liss 31. A. Elliott, Francis McClure, Dr. J. Culbertson and 1. \\ . Moore, were appointed a commit tee to receive proposals and enter into a con tract tor erecting a substantial and suitable tenet! around the cemetery, and to superin tend the work until completed, the funds of the Society being placed at their disposal for the accomplishment of this object. The pro gress of the work has been slow, on account of scarcity of funds, and sickness and death in the family of Mr. Shipton, one of the con tractors. The Committee have succeeded, through many obstacles, in having a splendid Iron railing, ( manufactured by Messrs. Faxon & Co. at their Foundry in this place,) erected in front, on Brown street—the wall along 3Vator street thoroughly repaired and raised higher,—a new wail along the alley at the North end finished complete, and a new wall along back or West sale, finished all to capping. The Committee present the follow ing report of expenditures and receipts, viz: By Messrs. Faxon A Co.'s bill for 2W feet of Iron railing, S4OO 00 Messrs. Faxon A Co.'s bill for bracing Iron railing, 12 90 Paid Everhart and others for taking down part of old wall, cleaning off rubbish, drilling stone for Braces, Ac.. Ac., 12 87 Paid K. G.

'J he association return their sincere thanks to all those who have aided tlicm in this un dertaking, particularly to 3li>s S. S. F.duiis ton, of Lexington, Ky., to Commodore David t onner, I . S. Navy, and to Hon. Benjamin Pattoo, of Pa., for their liberal contributions. And believing that in that hallowed earth repose the mortal remains of those who wore near and dear to many of our citizens, who have not as yet rendered us any aid, we would earnestly request them now to come forward, and assist by their contributions, to put the old cemetery in the condition it should be, and make it a beautiful place, stored to the memory of departed friends.

These spiral twisted car bonised Rods are light halt" inch in ten feet lengths, perfectly screwed together, with brass sockets, and put up through glass insulators in a most substantial manner—the whole mounted with a solid silver plated copper point, that will re main bright as long as the Rod stands. In this connection we would simply remafk that a rusty steei or iron point can be of no use on a Light ning Rod, for the plain reason that they answer no end that would not be accomplished simply by sharpening the end of the Rod. One of the proprietors being himself a practical Chemist and Electrician, would assuie the public that these improved Rods aro manufactured and put up on scientific principles. We deem the im portant fact that over six hundred thousand feet of these celebrated Rods have been sold in one season, a sufficient recommendation ; neverthe less we have numerous certificates from promi nent persons, speaking in the highest termsof their utility. Our teams are traversing all parts of the coun try with all the necessary apparatus for putting up Rods at once. We can be seen at Hamaker's Hotel, in Lew istown.
