NARROW ESCAPE. —A drunken man, Who was standing upon the platform of a car of the down passenger train on the Reading Railroad, a few days ago, lost his hat, and, with the foolhardiness common to persons in his condition, jumped off after it while the train was running at a speed of forty miles an hour, and was thrown against a bank. Instant death or mortal injury would naturally have been expected as the result of this rash leap; but wbcn the train was stopped, and backed to the spot:where the man lay, he was found unhurt, and coolly cursing the conduct or for leaving him behind, FEARFUL FALL OF A SOMNAMIIULIST.- 11few weeks ago, a lad in his fourteenth year, Johnny Rives,son of the late John C,Rives, Esq., arose from his bed in the still hours of the night, and, passing out of his chamber window, fell thirty feet to the ground, without sustaining serious injury. In his descent, he in seine manner struck and broke a win dow of the chamber below his own. The family were thus alarmed, and when some of them descended to him, he. was upon his hands and knees, endeavoring to-rise, which lm immediately did with slight assistance. and then walked up to his chamber again. Dr. Wells, of Bladensburg, near which place the family resides, and Dr. Lincoln, of Washington were promptly summoned, and as promptly congratulated an anx ious family on the providential escape of the lad from all injury, except some slight scratches and bruises .

One quart of juice should be diluted with four quarts of water, and the addition Of three pounds of sugar will generally be found suffi cient.

After this, let the cask he closed so as to be air-tight, and in about a year yeu will have a healthful, delicious beverage that may be darkend—in moderation— with impunity.

With most heroic courage ho instantly gave the signal for stopping the tram, then run ning at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour, and jumped from the locomotive into the water. When the train had stopped, the brave fellow was climbing up the bank of the river with it in his arms. The name of this brave entinecr is Charles N. Thompson, and ho is a a native of Taunton, Mass.

VOL: XX, From our Hundred Days' Boys. BALTIMORE STATION, } Jut 25th, 1864. DEAR GLout :—Fortunately for us, as well as the Government, this regi ment has crossed its native borders and been launched hundreds of miles I nearer the rebel foe. On Sunday even ing at 8 o'clock wo as a full regiment., lett the renowned Camp Curtin to gether with its bright and dull asso ciations, and after a two hours' march with knapsacks well filled and through almost impenetrable darkness we reached and entered a large train 'of soldiers' cars on the Northern Cen tral railroad. After being securely seated we were compelled to undergo an apparently unnecessary delay of a couple of hours At midnight, how ever, and the sound was welcome, the shrill blast of the locomotive gave the signal for readiness and soon we were coursing our way, eta slow rate, how ever to Baltimore. Nothing of unu sual moment occurred to mar the us ual disagreeableness of a . nights ride in an unfurnished soldier car over an unfinished railroad, or, if finished, not, substantially and safely built. Sleep. log, to some, at /0110, in this condition, was out of the question ; but as a eel dier's life is full of such embarrass I ments and in°onveniences, this can be considered one of the least. Ere we reached this depot, and some sixteen miles from it, a scene met our eyes that proved conclusively that ruthless and depredating hands had perpetra ted a deed through a degrading -and inhuman motive. This scone was the ruins of bridges on the Northern Cen tral Railroad that spanned rivers nigh this station. Two bridge's were completely destroyed by fire by the the rebels, the track torn up for some distance and the telegraph wires cut to prevent immediate communication. This act of audacity and incendiarism proves the foe we have to contcd with; they will retaliate to every similar raid on our part and will add fire to rapine, and blood to fire No rash or inconsiderate steps should, therefore. I be taken by our Government, as the enemy will then see much sooner the error of their ways and the sooner flee from it. Many a soldier, as he crossed the spot whero the destruction by the rebels was visible, could be heard vow ing to avenge, this audacious insult, and others no doubt vowed the same vow inwardly. Others . of the regi ment considered it but a trifling affair and only served.os a lesson to keep the North on the alert and urge it to still greater activity.. Should such acts be of daily occurrence in Our midst, those of an apathetic disposition would then be aroused to a proper ap prehension of the wants of the hour— those of an indifferent feeling as to the issues of the present conflict would then be compelled to feel which side loved the country most—and those who aro opposed to the Union and dwell securely in our midst m ould then think of the imminent danger they were in, and act in immediate response to the call of their country. Wednesday. July 20.—Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock A. M. we left the Baltimore depot and marching through the city encamped at a point on the Falls road, about five miles from Baltimore. This march will be long remembered by our regiment, from the fact that it was the first time in the history of this war that some of the men ever marched with knapsacks on their backs and a gun upon their shoulders. Though the distance was Comparatively short and the road good, yet many could be seen resting on roadside and anxiously looking for ward to the end of the journey. The distance we marched almost constrain ed some to belieVe we were marching directly for the seat of war in the She nandoah; so that when we did reach our camp }'Du may rest assured the order to halt was welcome to all, both large and small. Tents have been erected and we think we aro now in permanent quarters. The situation is good--.-shade and water both conveni ent; and although we are not as near the city as some wish, yet this circum stance will surely not prevent more soldierly like bearing and constancy of duty. I have not secured any definite or official statement of the number of our regiment, but it is believed by the most of us, who have received the in formation through madame rumor; wo aro tho 105th Regiment Penna. Vols. It is commanded by Col. Jo seph W. Fisher—the other staff and line officers you no doubt have ere this heard. It will please the many friends of Adjt. John Willoughby to know that he has been made Quartermaster. The Captain of this company (R) to which the squad from Huntingdon at- tached itself is Thomas E. Caldwell, formerly a captain in the Fifth Re serves. The other part of this com pany is mainly from Columbia, Lan caster county. I send you• the names of those who left the ancient borough and have at tached thetvelves to this regiment: Henry L. Africa, Charles H. Ander son, Charles E. Campbell, John M.

D. Westbrook, H. C. Willoughby, James Watson, Bennett Willoughby, George H. Zeig ler. The boys of this company aro all well and the health of the regiment in general, is also good. Those who have not yet smelt gunpowder are dsirous of having a brush with the enemy, who, we learn, aro again on another raid. "JUNTO" THRILLING NARRATIVE. A "Wild" Train Dashed into another Going down a Mountain Side. A correspondent of' the Missouri Re publican was a passenger on the train from Chattanooga to Nashville, which on the 29th ult., met with what might have been a dreadful catastrophe. The road passes over the Cumberland Mountains• On the eastern slope the train is pushed up, but on the western slope the train slides down, its motion arrested by a close application of the brakes, and, if necessary, a reversal of the engine. About midnight of the day in question, the correspondent was asleep, but was - startled suddenly into wakefulness by an unusual, ox. traordinary noise. On looking thro' the glass door• at the end of the car its origin was manifest; he beheld a sight which no mortal man, have once look ed upon, could ever forget. Two trains had started at the same time as the one in which ho rode. It was about half way.drn the moun tain, (the grade being very steep,) about two miles from the foot of the grade. The two trains in the rear were at the usual distance, 'When sad denlyrexclaims the correspondent, as if the brakes were out of order, and_ would not work, the train behind as started forward with the rapidity of lightning, and came tearing furiously toward us. Our engineer put on all steam' in the ondeaVor to escape; the engineer of the crazy train reversed his,engine, but it was all in vain. The train was under too much headway I It was when it had reached to less than ono hundred yards of us that I awoke and looked out. Like a de stroying demon, bent on our annihila tion, seemed the terrible engine. Its wheels were running in a reverse di rection, but under the fearful force it had previously acquired, it would no longer obey the motion of the wheels. It was sliding onward to destroy us, and at times the wheels, fixed upon the track, and balanced between the two forces, one urging the locomotive forward, the other endeavoring to pull it back, tore from the rails a stream of fire, Then the reversing force w'ld whirl them round for a moment with the most awful rapidity, I rushed toward the hind end of the car with the design of leaping out. By this time the monster behind us had nearly reached the end of the car. The next instant our train was struck and bounded forward for a few feet, as if shot from a cannon, still, howev er, remaining upon the track. We struck again, and this time our car, and I know not how many others, was thrown entirely from the The fearful speed at which we had been going in our endeavor to escape the pursuing engine now insured our destruction. A mad rush onward of about twenty feet, a dreadful sound as we ripped up the rails and ties un derneath us; then a lurch, hurling us with fearful violence from ono side of the car to the other; and the huge box in which we were confined rolling and tumbling down into a gorge of the Cumberland Mountains. During the few seconds of the de scent before the stroke, the whole dread reality of the situation stood like an awful picture before my eyes. I felt palpably that the nest instant I should probably be a mass of quiver ing, shapeless flesh ; yet, strange to say, I did not, as many aro said to do under such circumstances, recall my past life, nor did I bestow a thought upon the future; all the faculties of my soul were concentrated in the aw ful present. The crash came; a bump and a roll, and all was still. There was no light in the car, and the abso lute darkness into which wo were plunged, the wailing and moaning of HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1864. -PERSEVERE.- those who wore 'hurt, the sickening smell of fresh human blood, the fear ful uncertainty as to . the fate of those on board whom you loved, the eon sciormness that the next instant you yourself might be critshed to atoms, all these things formed an awful com bination of horrors. There was another crash above us; again the car turned over, but that last turn of our car raised in my mind the.idea that the whole of the follow ing train, with its locomotive, might come down and grind us all to pow der. Then came the burning, hoping almost despairing desire to got out side of the ruined cat'. Dashing through a glass door, I fi rtally emerged from the car. Let me toll you what I saw. The accident had taken place upon!an embankment Tho two passenger• cars of our train bad rolled down about GO feet, finally resting against the trees. The loco. motive which had run into us bad pas sed on with several of its cars, not lea ving the track. Four 'of them had tumbled off on the other side of the embankment from us. Ono had roll ed down on our side, just ahead of our two passenger cars. Another was resting with its fore end .upon the top of the car in which I rode, its wheels thrust into our car, its bind end rest ing against the embankment, about half-way down to our car, and thus actually forming an immenso bridge, under which a man could walk up. right. For the space of thirty or forty foot whore the car Wad run after leaving the rails, and before tumbling down the embankment, there was not a sin gle tip or rail remaining, nothing but the rohth stones which had formed the ballasting of the road. When lights were proourod, there wore found two score bruised, cut; lac erated and stunned; but, strange to say, not one person, so far as I could learn, was killed outright!- So won derful seemed our preservation that I think no one failed to attribute it to the gracious interposition of Almighty God, and to return to Him—some per haps for the first time in their lives— hearty, earnest, fervent thanks. Revelation of a Murder Concealed for flearly__Threti Years. The Laporte (Ind.) Democrat con tains a long account of the arrest of a man named Steitz, in that county for a murder committed in August of ISGI, nearly three years ago. The facts in brief aro these : Steitz was building a saw mill a few miles north of Laporte, and had in his employ a man named Von Jesseda, both being Germans. These men had frequentquarrols about money, which Van Jesseda alleged that Steitz owed him for work done, and refused to pay. The two men, during the warm weather, were in the habit of sleeping in a hay-mow, Steitz being. a bachelor and his sister keep ing house for him. On the morning of the 19th of Aug. ' ust the old quarrel was renewed, and the men got to scuffling in the mow, and finally both fell through to the barn floor, Von Jesseda not being dressed. Von J. ran to the house, his hand bleeding. Steitz followed him, and as soon as he came within roach struck him a severe blow on the head with an iron bar which he had picked up knreking him down senseless. Being near the cellar-way when ho fell, Steitz kicked him down into the cellar ; and, fearing that his work was not fully accomplished, ho followed down. and pounded him with a board for some time. The whole transaction at the house was Witnessed by Mary Steitz who was aroused from her sloop by the noise at the door. She endeavored to dissuade her brother from his purpose, but he rudely.thrust her back into another part of the room. After he had beaten the bOdy some timo, ho came out of the cellar, leav ing the body where it fell. Ho then left the place, and did not return until the next day. As soon as Mary Steitz could dress herself and got ready, she left the house, and went to a house where Jacob Franzen was working, to whom she was engaged to be mar ried. She told him all that had hap- . pened, and that she was afraid to re. main there any longer unless he was there. They agreed to got • married soon, possibly the next day. Tho day after the occurrence they went back to the house, and remained there; Steitz also returned that day or the next; and the night after his return, Franzen and Mary heard him work ing down in the collar, and at ono time heard a dead, heavy noise, like the falling of a heavy body, which they supposed to be made by Steitz throwing the corps into the grave which ho dug for it. During the time he was occupied at the burial, he came . / ;,. . I ' . / ii h a - (~,: g.: 4 ,„1: ,5:, ,it 'V& ® ':•^,i - , V "(.% l k: ' . 'a-V., up stairs four or five times, and drank whisky, in order to nerve himself for the work. The Franzens agreed to say nothing about the matter, on account of the disgrace it would bring upon the fam ily. But later Mary wrote to a sister, a llrs. Brown, in Germany, stating what had occurred. After a time the . Browns immigrated to Indiana and the old partnership quarrel between them and Steitz was renewed, when Brown, becoming exasperated, threatened to expose the murder. Steitz dared him to do so. The Franzens, fearing what had occurred, thought it was time to unveil the whole matter to the auth orities, and upon- their information Steitz was arrested. On digging for the body in the collar only a small por tion was found. On being asked to make a clean breast of the matter Steitz did so, stating that ho had sub sequently taken up the body and burn ed it. It seems, however, that the body was so much decomposed that ho did not get all of it. The murder: or was fully committed for trial, This is certainly a very curious case, and in ordinary times would create as much excitement in a -community as a big battle does now. The Match Business, The manufacture of friction match es was begun in this country in 1835. The Germans claim to have discover ed the process at about the same time and it is probable that like many oth. or discoveries and inventions, that both parties developed 'the idea sim ultaneously. The new impost duties have developed sonic nets in this branch of manufactures, which, like many others, were not before general ly known. Messrs. Byam, Carlton & Company, of this city commenced the manufacture of matches in 1835, and are the oldest and largestp manufactu rers in the country, having held the patent for 21 years. They have one factory at Erving, two at Athol, two at Ashburnham, Ma55.,.0716 at Benton ono at Kcndall's Mills, and one at Wa terville, MaillO, eight in all, besides the establishment in Boston.. They con sume at these different factories five thousand cords of wood per annum, Mostly sapling pine. ,Their establish ment in Beston is a brick block on Friend street, 80x75 and siX stories in height, whore the matches are dipped, finished and packed, in Which process five hundred pounds of brimstone are used daily, and twenty thousand lbs. of glue per annum, for mixing the composition for the end of the match. They manufacture fourteen million four hundred and forty thousand matches per day, and under the new law, which requires a ono cent stamp for each bunch, they will pay a tax 1 of 01,400 per day, or nearly four hun dred and fifty thousand dollars per annum. The revenue which . the gov ernment will derive throughout the country, from' the• apparently small branch of manufactures, will not be less than three and a half millions per annum.—Boston ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN CURREN CY.—One Of our friends, who has been made a speculator by force of circum stances, was yesterday relating to us what, a hundred dollars in currency bad done for him since the war com menced. In '6l ho exchanged the above amount for ono hundred dollars in gold, paying a premium of four dol lars and fifty cents for it. The issue of greenbacks, which followed soon after, sent up the price of gold to twenty por cent., when ho sold his ono hundred dollars for that much premi um, making a handsome little sum. Finding that the premium on gold kept increasing, he bought the next dad;, investing his ono hundred dollars with what he had made. In tho course of three or four days he sold again, and in a week ho sold again at the end of which time ho found that he doubled his money. He pursued the samo course with his two hundred dollars until gold fi nally reached 72 por cont., when be sold again, his proceeds amounted to between $7OO and $BOO. This he in vested in mess pork (at sls_ per bar rel. believing there would be, as there was, a reaction in gold), which be sold in the course of a month at an ad vance of $7 por barrel,-when he made an investment of ono half of his.funds in pork, the other in whisky reached $l,BO, and pork - $5O per barrel, he' sold out and found that ho had sufli cient funds to purchase a house on Seventh street, for which be paid $7,500. Such we know to be the his tory of ono hundred dollars in curren cy since the war commenced, and it is in just such a manor that immense fortunes have been made.—Cincinnati paper.

In an instant the raft was pitching and writhing as if suddenly dropped into Charybdis, while the waves broke over with tn. mendious . uproar, and expected in: stant destruction, the raftsman drop ped on his knees and commenced pray ing with - a vim equal to the emergen cy.
