One of most heroic and thrilling res cues ever witnessed on a railroad was performed on Tuesday afternoon in the j sight of a train loud of passengers on the Jersey Central Railroad. Train No. 10, BOUth bound from Scranton, fg an ex-1 press making but two stops between that city and Wilkes-Barre, and it was j flying along at the rate of forty miles an I hour when on rounding a curve ap proaching Minooka Junction, the en gineer saw a little girl crossing the rail road bridge which spans the Lackawanna river. She was half way over the struc when he pulled the whistle. As the sound reached her ears she turned and seeing the engine bearing down upon her ran ahead a few steps and then realizing the impossibility of reaching the other side before the train would be upon her she sprang to the side of the single track and jumped into the river, twenty feet below. In the few seconds in which this happened the engineer had been reversing the engine and putting on the air brakes, but knew it was impossible to stop the train in time to save the child. The passengers, knowing something was in the way by the jolting of the air brakes, stuck their heads out of the windows in time to see the child jump. As her form sank beneath the water an other figure whirled through the air. It was the fireman. John Miller, of Wilkes-Bar re, springing to the rescue. He had seen the child at the same time as the engineer, and acting instantly, had jumped down between the engine and the tender, and as the girl sprang into the water he leaped after her. The stream swollen by the late rains was quite high and the current swift. Hardly had Miller disappeared under the water than the girl was seen several yards in front of him, but he quickly came to the surface and struck out after her. She went down a second time, but as she rose Miller was by her side, and grasping her firmly he turned and after a struggle managed to reach the shore almost exhausted. The little girl, who gave her name as Anna Blaze, of Minooka, was little the worse for her plunge into the stream, and as soon as the train reached the town was taken home by friends. The passengers on the train then collected a good-sized purse which they presented to Miller when the train reached Wilkes-Barre. Fell Down an Old Slope. A young couple had a peculiar adven ture on Tuesday evening at Ashley. William Grow and Jennie Smith were out walking and crossed a field. They were about to sit down on a log when, without warning, the earth underneath Grow's feet gave way and he found himself entombed with only his head above ground. Miss Smith ran to a boiler house near by and several men going to tbe assist ance of Grow extricated him. The couple had been standing over the mouth of an abandoned slope when the rotten timbers supporting the few inches of earth that hid it from view gave way. state Meeting of I. n the runs. A call has been issued by Ilev, W. H. Singley, of Ilarrisburg, for a state con vention of the Lutherans of Pennsyl vania, to be held in that city on June 25 and 2(1.

Several Interenting ParagrapltH Gathered for Our Htutdern by tlie Keportern iu Upper L.eliigh, Eekley and llighluml. All the News of These Towns.

UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. The new fish warden, Patrick Murrin, was taught his first lesson in the art of catching poachers, a few days ago at the Honeyhole. It seems some joker gave the warden a "tip" that the boys of this place were playing havoc with the game fish on the Nescopeck creek, and he at once saddled a horse and made for the fishing grounds with all possible speed. While patroling the stream on horseback lie struck a morass, the liorsc began to sink and in a few moments the animal was imbeded in the mud to its body and was unable to move. While pondering over the uncomfortable position his horse was in, several young men of town, who spend their leisure hours about the creek,.put in an appearance and helped the warden to get his horse out. It is safe to say that the warden will leave his horse at home the next j time lie goes on a hunt for poachers. If he does want to fulfil the duties of his office and be recompensed for it, we would advise him to watch the roads which point from Freeland iu this di rection. It will be a sure catch almost every day. Mrs. Thomas Parry is lyiug danger ously ill and there are poor hopes of her recovery. The collieries here were shut down for the balance of the week yesterday, and work of almost every kind is sus pended.

They destroyed every thing in their path and the huckleberry crop, which was to be found in such abundance in this locality, has been utterly ruined.

John Logan, of Hazleton, formerly of town, while driving iu a sulky to visit friends, lost a valuable watch between here and Freeland on Friday.
