Sikcb the Newsboys' Lodging House was
established In New York City, more than a
quarter of a million of lodgings have beeu
furnished, and It is estimated that at least
25,000 boys bave been been benefited by it.
The expense of the Houso, says a corres
pendent of the Cincinnati Gazette, is about
$10,000 ayear, of which a little over $3,000
jl contributed by the hoys. Many ol them
Lave made subscriptions to the general fund
apart from what they pay for food nod
lodgings, and the diiectorg think that when
they hiive n houso ol their own they can
make it sell-sustaining, or nearly so. In
oiuinoclion with this ofcarily Is tho one of
sending boys to the country, and finding
houit j I'ui them, wbore they will be removed
fpm the pernicious Influence of city life.
Eiuiermtiou was instituted very early in the
history of tbu establishment, and ptorcd to
be an excellent feature. The lodgers are
tent West from time to time, in small com.
' pinie, under the charge of a superintendent
ai.d put out with tanners and others in the
rural dlstrlo's, wbero they can make their
living and bo properly cared for. About
15,000 boys bave been sent West siuce the
founding of the establishment, and in the
past year 1.381 buys emigrated at the ex
pense of the bouse. The companies vary in
number from twenty to 150, and the inten
tion is to send off a ccaipouy every two
weeks.
Br an extra issued from the office of the
Nuuda, N. Y., News, March 8th, wo learn
thut the boiler in the Steam Floming and
Saw Mill r Van Uiper, Ainswortlt & Gil
bert, at Nunda Station, exploded with tei
rilio force, instantly ktlliug throe meu, aud
severely wounding several others. The
News says: "Aiming tho killed was Mr.
John B. Paine, who lives at Petroleum Cen
tre, und was on his wny there. His body
wuB thrown upwards of thirty feet in the
air; the clothing all lorn from it; both legB
broken, and altogether presented a terrible
aspect."
Mr. Paine was quite woll known In this
vicinity, having been engaged lit running
eniiino for Mr. David Yatiuey for some time
past.
ClJItK KOU DltUXKEXNESU. Reoipeg to
euro one of an appetite lor liquor are con
stantly going the rounds of the papers. A
friend who has tried it gives us the follow
ing receipt: Have steady employment, and
give it attention ten hours each day,-except
Sundays, and then attend chuich service
regularly. When your day's works is com
pleted, go home to spend yous leisure hours.
If your home is not pleasant, set yourself
ubuut tbe agreeable task of making It so.
When you go out to public amusements
take some person ol pure mind and Bleady
habits with you.
The above receipo is more effectual than
a dozen temperance pledges.

Death or an Eccentric Woman.
Celeste I.euolr, an old French woman,
died recently at her residence near the
Uarracks. For a lung time she bus lived in
a hovel, not far distant from the river, with
no other companion than a colored woman
almost as old as herself. Tho two women
have subsisted partly by charity and partly
by the sale of a little drift wood which they
could occasionally collect from the river
bank, ''OM Ccely" had a history, though
few who had noticed the old womantotterlng
along tbo water's edge under her load of
fuel, suspected it. She was bom in the
southern part of France, and when a young
girl setred as a bar maid in a country tav
crn. While there, she betrothed herself to
a young blacksmith. Before their marriage,
however, bcr lover was drafted into the
Republican army, of which the great Napo
leon had but recently assumed command.
Determined not to bo sep'uratod from ber
husband, she entered the same Regiment si
a vivandier. In the second action ber lover
was killed. The girl, however, remained in
tho regiment, determined to avencc his
death. She participated in the campaign
in Africa, and in the beat ol one of tho en
gagements fell Into the ranks and fough'
like a soldier, She olten boasted that at tho
close of tho battle the Emperor, who bad
noticed ber, rode up, ond patting her on
the head, Bald, "Ah, my pretty girl,,if you
were not a woman I would make a Colonel
of yon."
She remained wilh ber regiment until
Napoleon was exiled to Elba; but she took
no part in tho eventful scenes of the "hun
dred days." Why she would never tell the
reason of her coming to this country, ami
her after-life until she appeared, in this lo
cality, will ever remain a sealed book, ns
the knowledge of it died with bcr. New
Orleans Republican.
Peter's Musical Moxtui.y. The March
number' of Peters' Musical Monthly is at
hand, and contains some twenty-four pages
of olioiee new music, giving selections trom
the intist papular writeis, and variety
enough to suit the most fastidious. Among
tbe ballads is one entitled "Coraline," by
the nntion's song writer, Will S. Hays, tho
chorus of which runs as follows:
01) I she was fair and gentle as a child bad
ever been,
And tbe fairest of tbe angels is our darling
uoratine."
Tbero are also "Left all Alone," by J. S.
Cox; "Tho Young Widow," by T. Brigliam

feet below the surface, Tho convulsion was
