A Miraculous Escap e. Of all the miraculous escapes from death oil the battle-field which have been recorded, that which we are about to relate is, we think, the most marvelous. Calvin Aldus, of this city, who belongs to the 7th Maine regiment, was one of the storming- party upon the rebel fortifications , near Petersburg;. As they were advancing he received no less than fifteen bullets ,i,mr,h ),; i. . through his clothee, without, however, m- " B '""uuu uiu ruoui irlinrr n Krmtnh Ac tin mminfnJ 1. i l breastworks lie was hit, the ball striking the' skull and glancing off, and lying here no less than four charges were made back and forth ever his body. Coming to his senses while the rebels held possession for the time bein-, j r v i ' and find.ng Ins position uncomfortable in consequence of lying acrossa gun, he at- icmiueu 10 remove it, me rebels seeing ihc motion and supposing he was getting at uie gun to discharge n, fired upon him, one ball lodging in his shoulders, another mg a severe flesh wound in his sitfe nnnfi,or passing through his thigh, and four more pass ing through different parts of his body. Our forces again charged ihe battery and , mccecdcJ in holding it. Just as the rebels itu cuiinj;, uuwever, one oi mem sec- ing that he was not dead, hit him on the head with a musket. He lav for sorap hours' atter our iorccs got possession, everybody supposing him to be dead. He finally re- vired again and was taken up and sent to tc uuoiuu, iic was nrougnt to Augustal mui uuu ui me nrsi msiaimems ot our a - . wounded soldiers, and, one morning soon af ter was missing. It appears that he escaped from the hospi tal, forged a pass to get to the front, and got as far as Baltimore, when being seen in an unfit condition by the surgeon, he was refused a, pass and sent back. ne is now in tfeitast, but bound to get back at the first opportunity. He is one of i three brothers, sons of Airs. II. M. Aldus, who have enlisted m the service. Belfast, Mf., Aye To stop potatoes Rotting. An agricultural exchange says: "An ex perienced agriculturist informs us that about hx 3'cars ago he applied lime to potatoes that were partly rotten, and that it immediately ar rest decay. Potatoes that were partly rot ten when the lime was applied continued to rot, and were lost. Since then he has made it a common practice to apply slacked lime to his potatoes as he takes them up. He puts a thin layer oflime upon the floor where the potatoes are to be laid, and sprinkles 6ome of it over them about every ten inches j as they arc put down. He considers this asi perfectly protecting them from rotting, as he; has never had a rotten potato since he has1 practiced it: and he believes alto that pota-j toes thus used are rendered better by the acting of lime." Congregationalism Singular Affair. The FUtikill Standard stales that a week or two ago a horse belonging to J. S. Crom well, of Fishkiii Landing, dropped down dead in the road, while traveling. Upon opening the stomch of the animal, to aect-T-tain, if possible, the cause of his death, a lizard about lour inches in length, crept forth. This reptile wa, no doubt, swallowed by the horse when it was very 6inall, and had remained alive, growing larger and lar ger, eventually causing bis death. How to ha?2 pure Cist.

(Krlnthe year 1780 a very dark day occurred, which was long remembered as "the dark day." A lady sent her son to Dr. Byles to see if he could tell her the cause of the obscurity.

Five months' bank ii.iv was I due her; but on application the paymas ter declined to allow it) on the ground that there was nothing in the regulations that would permit him to pay a United States soldier of the female sex. Hence her visit to Washington and her calling upon the President. After patiently lis tening to her statement, the President, . - r-j who was deeply interested, wrote-a note to the paymaster General, saying that, as she had faithfully served as a soldier for two years, and received the pay as such for the greater part of the time, he could see no good reason why she was not enti tled to the remainder, and therefore direc ted the payment of the balance, conclu ding with the assurance that, if hereafter it would be found to be contrary to the regulations, he himself would be respon sible for the amount.

Many years ago, when a gentleman from the central part of New Hampshire was in the Pequaket country, attending to his property near the village of Fryc burg, a company of Indians from the Pen obscot tribe came there for a temporary abode, and pitched their tents on an ele vation near the Saco river. In passing to his lands he noticed a squaw kneeling to pick strawberries, and creeping to dif- ercnt parts oi the patch that furnished the frui. nor attittidn Rfcrno.l- h im ns iugular; but ho concluded she took that posture as the most convenient for the purpose. On his return she had disappeared, and he supposed she had gone to sell berries. But as he approached the settlement, he observed the unusual sight of an Indian carrying a squaw on his back. A nearer view showed him the person whom he saw in the strawberry field. After hav ing witnessed the occurrence several times, on inquiry of the Indians as to the. i . .. . , ,. . i nin cause oi this action, one oi uiem replied: 'Iti hnrt lnni:in llo Hrinlr much Snr.

But one ot the elder and wi ser of the number interposed his opinion, and gave this advice : "No shoot : make " him Hve ag j fl3 squaw live; make 2n she want walk ; hjm w whcn . on 9nnavt-:n filon ahnM V.:,: was :n ac'conianea wit the coungc, an - d woman iroin her hasba and thus secured to the in- perpetual kind treatment, from her husbaud.

A few steps from the fork, oh tho Arsenal road, west side, stands an old two stroy frame house, which, fifty years ago, was occupied by an Irish laborer named Patrick Sheridan. He was an unlettered, hard-working man, with a wife and large family of children to support kind heart ed when sober, but, when drunk which happened about ouce a month attacking wife and children with a vigor which scattered them as swiftly as if "they were the rebels of Early in the Shenandoah Valley. Though very poor, were tho roughly honest, and the childern grew up to take their places as citizens of the great Republic, according to their merit. The oldest son, Mr. Sheridan, became the owner of an extensive livery stable in South Eighth street, Philadelphia, where' he accumulated wealth, social position and" political influence. This, it is said, was the father of Gen. Phil. Sheridan, who is .

B The devotion of the New England women to the Union cause during the present war will be no less conspicuous in history than that of their mothers of the Revolution. The Boston papers men tion the case of a lady whose husband and only son enlisted early in the war. The husband was killed, "and the widow determined to give her means and her services to the Union cause. She went to the army to nurse the wounded soldiers, and on thirteen battle fields administered to their wants. Finally, her son, the last of a family of four, was killed in battle, and, alone in the world, the Ja&t earthly tie severed, she procured his body and with it returned to Boston, disconsolate and alone. While conveying the body to her old home, some" dastardlyjpickpockefc robbed her of all the money she had in: the world. What a lesson for those croak ers who, having sacrificed nothing, s."it in' their easy chairs and prate about the hard ships ol war, as shown in their increased bills for luxuries they might well spare.
