old man nhoweil thn miser No lineaments
of benevolence marked his withered brow,
and why ehould ther.: ! fur to no hitman
being did he ever give even a pleasant word
of eneouraetnent to cheer him in the path
of duty. To him all appeals from the
orphan and widow fell on closed ear, and
in the proportion that ho kept aloof from
mankind, did they keep far from him.
The old gallc-roofed house where be first
drew breath, and where he now resided,
descended to Lira from his father; be
scarcely ever went so far from it that he
could not look back aud behold it, save at
dunk, when it was bis custom to sally forth,
eane in hand, for a 1on walk; it was on
fnese weli-known iweaslon thit William
harle would call and spend a short time
wttn his tieiovea t;iara.
Once or twice the miser had caught him
there, and when he learned from inquiry
that he was poor, be bade him begone, and
say nothing more to his niece. It was now
ninny weeks since that command was given,
and he had never met with the voutip man

j Tor a liltle while the old man sat by the
j fire, resting his coarse shoes against the j

I have just returned from a most ereifirje
and thrilling scene, which happily terminated
in tb rescue of a man who had fallen into
the fiir'ons rapids rear h great Suspension
l.ridoe
It appeirs that he was a g'cst cf the Lud
low Hotel, and after breakfast went out to
view the bridge, and proceeded down the
perilous steps near Winner's Souring mill,
on the bank ot the river. On reacning the
bottom he slipped and fell into water just
above the br;dg, r-nd when discovered was
thirty or forty rods bebow the bridge, near
the shore, rolling over and over, borne alonr
by the resistless Current, tin til he caught
bold of a large roek, and n'er some fruitless
strttcalcs succeeded in reaching tSe top.
Th nlarra was imnediatcly given in the
..;,.'ij.-, hoop . nd it was soon decided that
there w is no wy if le.M'uiig bi"i 1 j 1 y
tii'-ans of a rpo and ladder. This was im
mediately procured, and, nftcr much hesita
tion, dU;., and altercation, occasioned by
the diT'cul!y of deferniiniig where tj pla'S
it, inasmuch a the man cctild not be seen
from the projeeiing bank over bis head, it
was lowered to the depth of perhaps a hun
dred feet, and became entangled among the
rods and trees. It was r.t once decided
that some one mu"t "0 down to disentangle
c
it and conduct it dow n a far as the shelving
rock over the man's head. Rut who anions;
the crowd w as willing lo nndertake the haz
ardous and doubtful experiment ? In a few
mo'rei.ts Wm. V. Churn, porter of the
Ludlow Ilott 1, v olunfeered his servires, and
proceeded lo the plaet; where the ladder
was attached to the trees. He needed as
sistance, and soon two more hrve men,
Anthony S'l.iley and Nats Crane, offered
to go down. The three courageous men
worked bravely for more than an hour in
conducting the ladder down the precipice,
while men nt the top carefully let it down.
At Icn-tS the waiving of handkerchiefs
and ebeerit.L'S on the Canada side indteatrd
to ns that the man had sprung ft the shore
from the rock and had begun to ascend the
the ladder. Crane, the Dutch butcher, went
down over the shelving rock to meet snd
help the man up the ladder. But ho pre
ferred to eliti.b up without help. Crone
went below him, and in a Iv.v moments bis
l aid lw ad was seen i-mrrging from below.
What a thrill r( joy and dread at once per
vaded the hearts of the multitude that wit
nessed the exciting scene! Joy became of
bis success thus far, and fear h-.-t, wet, cold,
and a'most exhausted, he should lo bis
bold on the ladder and be dashed to frag
ments on the rocks a hundred fet below.
I'.ut cautiously, aud with firm grasp and step,
be climbed up the ladder, three hundred
feet in length, and was greeted by the shouts
and reclamations of speciators who Lad
aaaeirhled to witness the nei ting scene.
lie was f r n few moments borne on the
shoulders of the exciting multitude, all were
so anxious to congratulate him.
As might have been expected, the mass
of the people seemed to forget that the
faithful, brave Hitch butcher was yet below.
A few remained twar the top of the ladder
to see him sate up and to speak words of
commendation for his self-kf-cttin:: courage.
The whole three displayed a nub Is heroism
that will b'.ng be remembered to their credit.
The rescued man, K. C Taylor by name,
was from West W infield, Herkimer county.

Mr. Editor: On Friday, March 27th, be
tween the hours of twelve end two o'clock,
the Methodist Episcopal Church in the town
of Walt erboro' was ennur?ied by fire. Pass
ing to my Mission. I o-eacbed the village in
time to witness the conflagration. As I
looked at the devouring element, my firct
cnnvietion was " an enemy hath done this."
From all I can learn, it is believed to have
been the work of tho incendiary; but why
a nd what oljeet is nn inexplicable mystery.
'The falling of the galleries in the old house
seme two years ago, rendered a new build
ing necessary, and after earnest begging and
protracted effort, by Rev. A. W. Walker,
aided by the brethren and friends in the
circuit, a new and commodious bouc was
erected, and had only been used some three
or f vir times for religious worship. The old
building was left standing had been used
for a work room in dressing the lumber for
tli" new, and in it the fire originated. My
feelings on the occasion was indescribable,
my heart grew sik within mc, and I con
cluded the Lord surely has no work for
Methodism to do in this place. Seeing two
churches burning side by tide, aud no means
nt hand to stay the flame, is a sight rarely
seen. The adjoining fences sustained much
injury. 'The benches aud sashes and pulpit
furniture were saved, but in a damaged con
iihii?n. A large debt is still unpaid on the
new church. As a denomination we are
literally butnt out of house and heme in the
village, and. judging from the past, I fear
it will be years before another Methodist
Church is built here, if another is attempted.
We t eg an interest in the sympathies and
liberality of our people elscw here, and hope
sucb. as can will send us lulp to pay for our
liouso of worship which is now a ma.ss of
siir'nldering ruins.
Yours trul v,
l'Al'l, A. M. WILLIAMS.
