A Crow hard after a Rat.— The passen
gers in one of the Kaat River ferry boats. were
greatly amused ycstciday. during o short de
tention in crossing, by witnessing a pitched
battle between n black crow and a gray rat. on
a Healing cake of ice.
Tl\e rat had evidently drifted out to some
distance from his comfortable mc*i under the
warf. and probably the strong ebb tide caused
him to deunaii; of ever getting back to it again.
In ibis forlorn condition, ns be sat e.nichcd
upon the southernmost, promontory of the lloat
ing island ho was suddenly pounced upon by
| crow, whom cold weather had made hungry.
1 and who openly exhibited a Inslo for a Chinese
dinner. A battle was immediately begun. —
The crow mounted upwards a rod or two into 1
the air—the rat hacked down to the opposite I
side of the cake—and both rushed together,
meeting somewhere near the centre. It-was
distinctly observed from the ferry boat, ibai
the rat was severely picked in the head, "'lnch

made another “fell swoop,” striking his fehnrp
bill into the wound on tlie head of the animal,
who uttered a characteristic squeal. The rut .
was now excited to ferocity, and. leaping at |
his enemy as she was about arising for another
onset, scattered some small feathers about her
neck. The crow (littiered a moment but re
newed the attack, striking with great perCision
tho same sore spot. The rat squealed again
and made another spring to bite tlie crow, but
missed his aim. and fell from a height of about
two feel in'.o a deep crevice in the Ice, head
downwards, from which he did not extricate
himself until his spirited enemy had charged
him vigorously in the rear, (letting out of
this new and sudden dilemma, the rat prepared
himself once more to meet the crow, who was
hovering over his head, and on tho point of

Virginia Central rnilrond, near Covington, Al- {
leglicny comity. Virginia, discovered a new
cave, of considerable extent, with an opening (
at each end. On exploring it. they found the ,
dead body of a man. in full hunting costume. i
which crumbled to pieces, like dry dirt, when (
lonohed. One of the persons took hold of the 1
foot, which immediately broke from the leg.—
On examining the body, next day, a pocket
book was found, containing papers, among
which were seven bonds for largo amounts of
money, one being for SO,soo.dated 5 n the yeat
IH2 i. and others dated in IH2O. All of them
were signed or given by old settlers of Alle
gheny and Bath counties. Tt is thought that
the circumstances under which these, bonds
have been kept from the light, will bar the ap
plication of the statute of limitations, in which
case, some very respectable persons in that rc-
I giou will bo placed in rather embarrassing ctr
t cmuslauces, as they will be held responsible

THE 10ST BATED.
■Severn! years ogo, snys the editor of the N.
Y. Evangelist, wo were crossing the Atlantic
Ocean. '■ Oho', aftcnioon the naAsengera were
sitting ih the cabin, when wo heard a cry, the
most fearful-that ever rings through the ship,
**A : man'overboard.*’ We flew to the deck, i
and there,saw struggling in the water, a cab;
In boy who’a ! fbw momenta before had ‘gone
but ontliebbwsprit to bring a seaman’s clothes,
and had. been swept off by a powerful wave.—
He saw. it.coming and tried to hold on. but hia
little arms were too weak for a mighty billow.
The wind was blowing almost a jrale, the Sea
•ran high, arid the waves were roaring. As the
ship flew before the blast; the boy was every
instant drifling farthcr from us. The .scene at
this moment, baffles description. The whole
ship’s company, four hundred persons, were
gathered on deck—women crying and all in
consternation, that they could, not instantly,
snatch him from a watery gram The voice
of the captain rang through the ship: ordering
the boats to be let down, and the ship to be put
about. The mate and ft couple of stout sailors
sprang into the Dual, and it waslowcrcdnway.
In an instant she touched the sea, and with
swift strokes of the oars, the seamen drove her
through the water. It Was a pull for life.—,
The boy bj* this time had drifted perhaps half
a mile astern. Wo saw him afar off, a mere
speck upon the water, now altogether lost from
sight, and now tosscd ; ihto view by a wave.—
The boat grot* smaller in the distance.
.Rising and falling with the waves, it some
tiracfTblnuist sank oilt o.f view. Never shall
we forget the anxiety with which we followed
jUie boat.... At length it seemed to approach the
distant speck* ft motion was made ns if the
inch tfero calling at something in the water,
as if they were pulling things on board. And
then theboKt turhed its head toward the ship. I
Ah yet we tould not see distinctly whether the
boy- had been picked up or had sunk.
The boat came along side, and was hoisted
up by the side of the’ship with the hearty pulls
of almost all onboard. We-we not qmte
sure of the result till wo saw , the mate step
on, deck, wrapping in his strong arms, a wet,
shivering, almost dead boy. Never did we ex
perience Such feelings of relief as at that mo
ment." Amurmer of joy and tfpprttalmn.tho,,
almdst choked'with tears, ran through the ship,
a thrill , like that which runs through heaven
when a soul shipwrecked, and about to perish,
is rescued and brought back; to God .*
Every man is somewhat in the situation ol
that boy. struggling like astrong swimmer, on
the sea of life. Arid when one is saved from
the billows «Which threaten to cngulph him,
there- goes up from those on high, who arc
spectators oftho sceric.'o shout like the sound
of many waters. '
~... ‘The Little One’s Prayer.
- A lillle child knelt at twilight hour near the

awakened, by the arm, she said ?
‘Hearken to Minnie —she’s praying.’
Oh, Ood. make father love me as once he
did: and make him forsake his bad ways !
murmured the little one. her clear tones break
ing the hushed silence. j
•Oh. Paul—husband p cried the mother: ‘oh,'
by onr past joys and sorrows, by our marriage
vows, our wedded love, blight not the hfe of
our little one! Oh, refoim, and let us all be
happy once again 1’ . .
Tlie conscience-stricken man bowed his head
and wept. Then clasping his hands he said :
•With God’s help, you will never be made to
sorrow on my account again.’
' And he kept his vow.
Romance anu Krautt.—The Sftndusky
Rcgider narrates ibe following affecting story:
In the Lunatic Asylum at Columbus is a \
pair of insane lovers. Mental anxiety of a pe
culiar character is supposed to have deranged
the intellect of the young man. who was Rent
to the Asylum some time ago, cured, it was
hoped, permanently, and sent home. While
at home he fell decplv in love u ith a young girl,
who returned his devotion, and they became
tenderly attached to each other. But. unhap
pily. the malady returned upon live young
man; he was separated from the object of Ins
love, and sent back to the Asylum, heft to
herself, to muse upon her bereavement, and the
sad destiny of her lover, the mind of the girl
became also affected, almost, as it might seem,
from sympathy—and it was not long before
she. 100. was immured within the walls which
sheltered him. They arc both there now. Oo- (
casinnally they seem to have recovered their i
reason, and arc permitted to hold interviews
with one another. In one of these, the poor
girl begged her lover to marry her. but ho re
plied with a melancholy real enough to bring 1
tears from the eyes of the listeners "lou
know that we cannot bo married. Ellen. we are
unlit lor that happiness—poor, unfortunate
I creatures that vve are."
