The maryelloiis escape of young Buunhtg at Leeds has already been alluded to, but his story is so intereseing that it is worth j giving iu detail. When the alarm was . given he was at work in the spool room of the Nonotuck silk works, and. rushing j out of the mill, ll is first thought, of course, was for his family. He found that his father, wife and three children had left the j house. He shouted to them to run for their lives, at the same time pointing to them what direction to take. His wife ; and children obeyed him and were saved ; but his father, an old man of seventy-eight, thinking that something Might bo got out ; of the house before the flood reached if, went back. In dashed bis son after him, begging liini to leave the doomed bui'ding. While raising one of the windows the ' floor gave way beneath their feet aud his father disappeared from his sight. The young man had just time to clamber out of the window, and as the house tipped over crawled up its side to the root just as the building broke up, leaving him but a fragment to cling to for his life, and on he went sailing down that awful flood in full sight of wife and children, who, as they looked on in terror and agony, ex pected momentarily to see him sink be neath the surging mass. In a few seconds his frail raft was crushed like an egg-shell, but his presence of mind never deserted him. He jumped for another, ami when that was gone, for yet another. He was hastening down with the current at ter rific speed, and intent on the fearful task he had on hand, never once thought of the dams toward which he was hastening. The first one is reached iu the aw ful crash and jam. He is hulled seemingly twenty feet in the air, to come down and be sub merged for the first time far beneath the waves. As he came to the surface again aud clasped another piece of drift-wood ha realized with an intensity unimaginable by those whose lives have never been im periled that another and higher dam was but a short distance below and tnat he had absolutely no hope for life unless he escaped from the flood before that point was reached, but fortunately the swollen mass of water and debris at that moment surged toward the shore, and seizing an opportunity, which seemed to be provi dentially presented, he clambered across some broken roots, which served hiin as a bridge, and with a leap again had a foot hold on the earth. The feelings of a man, who, like him, had scarcely a hope of life, on finding he had escaped from the jaws of death cannot be depicted.

The soil and climate of Nebraska are most favorable to farming. Indian corn grows luxuriantly, and the smaller cereals also thrive. The productions of Nebraska do not appear in the U. S. census reports before 1SG0 ; and then the whole corn pro duction of the Territory which was much larger than the State, its western limit be ing the summit of the Rocky Mountains was only 1,-182,080 bushels" In 1870 tho corn crop of the State of Nebraska the western limit of which is the base of the Rocky Mountains was 4r730,710 bushels ; and the Agricultural returns of the De partment at Washington for 1873 give the corn for that year, which was a bad year for Indian corn, xt 21, 000,000 bushels. These figures exhibit the rapid progress of agriculture in Nebraska, for what may be said of corn is equally true of other pro ductions. In the fertile soil and genial climate of the State, coruyieldsabundant ly, and is a safe crop. There are broken lands where, year after year, tlie produce has averaged 80 bushels to the acre ; but this is outdone by the champion coru crop of 1873. The affidavits on which the $50 premium for 1873 was awarded, have just been pub lished by tbe State Board of Agriculture. The owner was Magnus M. Nelson, of Cass county. His champion crop was grown on a field of thirty-five acres the second crop on tho same ground, which was prai rie broken in 1871. The .plowing cost ? 1.25 per acre ; the planting 4o cents ; the culuivating $1.80 ; tho harvesting $1.25 total expense per aero $4.75. The yield was an average of 91 j bushels per acre, i which was certainly worth uot less than 40 j cents per uusuei on tue larm. ine varie ty of the corn was the Mahogany ; and the weight C3 lbs. to tbe bushel. the llliamsburg reservoir disaster, met on Monday at Northampton, Mass. Mr. ' Cheny, gate-keeper, and his father, testi- j lied to the discovery of leaks long ago. A j member of the reservoir company was no- j lined of its condition, but he attributed the leakage to springs. Nothing was done to strengthen the reservoir. j About one hundred and fifty families, j comprising seven hundred persons, are re- j ported as actually destitute in tho -Mill River Valley, aud further investigation shows that the needs of the devastated district have not been magnified by general report. The contributions thus far amount to about 05,000, of which ouly a little over 18, 000 has been paid over. At Seymour, Illinois, on Thursday, two brothers named Fleetwood were con victed of the murder of a little German boy one year old, and were sentenced to the peuitentiary for life.

The pioneers of California have always credited Colonel Marshall with the discov ery of gold in the land of Ophir, but the San Francisco Chronicle has found a wo man who claims the honor. She is now living wiJi her aged husband in indigence, though she clings tenaciously to the nug get of gold, whose finding set a world in motion and peopled a wilderness. In 1847 the couple, who had crossed the plains from Missouri, were at Coloma, El Dorado county, the husband being engaged by Marshall in the construction of a mill. Mrs. Wemmar (such is the name of the Chronicle's heroine) was always dreaming by day of finding gold, the glitter of mica in the sands of tlie rivr bank probably suggesting the thought. Marshall aughed at her. Once he found a nugget, aud, thinking it mica, handed it to her "son. saying, "Take this to your mother and tell her to boil it in her soap ; it's some of her gold." The nugget was so boiled, but instead of dissolving in the lye it fell to the bottom, bright and glittering as ever. Not until this aud many other nug gets that were subsequently found were scientifically tested, would Marshall believe in their worth. much opposition has come from tho j churches themselves pastors and leading j members, that the active crusaders have j recently taken to praying for that class, in- ! stead of the dealers and venders. Several 1 large prayor-meetings have been held, id i quite an excitement prevails as to the policy j indicated. In a recent suit at Detroit brought j against a me insurance company uy a ; widow to recover a policy of five thousand ! dollars on the life of her husband, who ' j committed suicide while laboring under i mental derangement, the jury brought in a verdict for the plaint Upholding that no in- sane person can make or break a contract where the rights of third parties innocent j of any wrong are involved. !
