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 . Wash

Elderbeiries,
These make a very good wine, which
is estimated as a tonic, and for its port
wine flavor. 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. The mixture must be allowed to
work for three or four weeks, and the
cask be kept constantly full, which
insures tha expulsion of all the sedi
ment through the bunghole. 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—

tity in bottles which we made in 1858.0

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:

Orlando S. Swoopo. W. 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

all these things formed an awful com

There was another crash above us;
again the car turned over, but that

the.idea that the whole of the follow

come down and grind us all to pow

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

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

"Not Deep Enough for Prayer,"
A good story is told of two rafts
men, which occurred during the late
big blow on the Misissippi, at which
time so many rafts were swamped, and
steamboats lost their sky riggings. A
raft was just emerging from Lake Pe
pin as the squall came. 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. Happening to open his eyes ait
instant, he observed his companion,
not engaged in prayers, hilt pushing a
pole into the water at the side of the
raft. "What's that yep; dein', Mike 7"
said he; "get down On your knees
now, for there isn't a minit between
us and purgatory !"
"Be aisy, Pat," said the other, as ho
cooly continued to punch with his polej
"be aisy now.; what's the use of prayin'
when a feller can tech bottom with a
pole?"
Mike is a pretty good specimen of a.
large class of Christians, who prefer
to omit prayer , so long as they can
"tech bottom."

that he liked everything good but a
good whipping. 'The sate boy . liked
a good rainy day, too rainy to go to
school, and just about rainy enough
to go fishing.

LABOR. AND MEDITATION.-HO who_
inhis studies wholly applies himself
to labor and exorcise, and nogleets
meditation, loses his time ; and he who
only applies himself to meditation,
and neglects experimental exercise,
does only wander and lose himself;
The first eau never know anything
exactly; his knowledge will al*ays
be intermixed with doubts and Ascii
rities ; and the last will only pursue
shadows; his knowledge will never
be certain and solid. Labor, but slight
not meditation. Meditate, but slight
not labor.
