Mr. McVan- nel, the assistant postmaster, had fortunately taken all the money and registered letters out ot the box before six o'clock and placed them in the safe in the store. The box contained about $4.00 worth of stamps. The atte^npt was a daring one, as the whole Berwick Block was lit up and parties from the store were liable to pass out the backway at any moment.

Sebious Accident. â€"To- day, Thurs- day, while wording off the News an accident of the most painful nature happened to the publisher's little ten year old son, George. Little Gaorgie was pulling the paper off the press â€" a No. 3 Gordon â€" and while it was running at full speed he got his right hand between the bed and the platen, when it was literally crushed before t'ne press could' be stopped. The fore finger had to be amputated at the upper joint, the middle finger was also brokeli at the upper joint,, and the bones in the back of the hand were crushed so that the flesh between the third and little fingers burst and the flesh from the upper joint of the little fmger to the wrist joint, leaving a horrible gash nearly two inches long. Surgical aid was procured within five minutes after the accident happened, and the wounds skilfully dressed. Dr. Oldham has hopes of saving the hand. â€" Chatsworth News. Don't be Tempted to Speculate. We spent three hours the other day inspecting the cells and prisons of tho Pensylvania State penitentiary, at Philadelphia. "What is that mild, clerical-looking individual confined in prison for " ^^3 said to the physician accompanying us "he looks like any- thing but a convict." â€" "That man is serving out a sentence of nine years for burglary, "If I could only get out of here," he said to me the other day," added the physician, "and could start lile fresh wiiat a future I would have. If some one would only lend me ten thousand dollars to start a fair, legitimate business I should be the happiest of men."â€" "What business are you thinking of?" said the physiciau, "I thought," respond- ed the convict, "if I could only start faro bank and run it honorably I should be so happy." "Do you call that ligitimate business?" rejoined the physician. "Why, yes, retorted the convict. Isn't that more ligitimate than selling stocks in Wall Street short, that you have not got " One is about as legitimate as the other, Don'c be persuaded to sell stocks short for speculation, or to bay them It is the ruin of nine- tenths of our business men who venture into Wall Street. Therefore, when you read in the daily papers, or receive circulars of stock brokers who attempt to allure you with tempting oppor- tunities to operate on small margins, destroy the circuluri and avoid thu sending as you would a bunko steerer, or a runner for a faro bank. â€" Americuu AgnetUturvit for April. :M« ^^' X A PRINCELY FORTUNE.
