L. TrcncK, writing to tho London Times to appeal to tho eharita ble lor aid for some, uufnrtuuatc families, gives this account of the bursting of an Irish bog. Ho says ; 'I have just returned from inspecting one of the most pitiful scenes of the sort it has been my fate to witness since I saw the remains of tho village of Visp, in the Rhone Valley, Switzerland, after its destruction by flood some years ago. 'The scene to which 1 refer is the result of the bursting of r bog, situated about three miles cast ol the town Of Duutnnre, in the northern part of Gal way county! Heretofore this bog was connected with the Punmore UNcr, at Dunmore, by a small stream called the Oorfiibel Kiver flVwing through aeon tinuation of pasture and tillage lan Is in its course. The level of the upper sur fare of the bog was formerly -GO fe-.i above the sea, and that of the water at Dunmore 1^0 feet, showing a lall of 70 feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bog presented the umi.i1 appearance uf most of our undrain-d Irish bog*, i. e, its skirts, adjoining the arable hind, consist iug of high turf banks, being exceeding ; ""et and spongy. 'On (lie first of October the farmer occupying a farm on the Oorrabal streun nnar the hog was "digging his potatoes, j when hesu Idcnly ubservod n brown mass slowly approaching him He left his spadeiu the ground, and wont for the neighbors; on hin return the uns (which was the moving bog,) had half covered his potato field. ling completely bidden Iroui sight hi> fieldV?f coru, with the ex t.,.r,:.;t fun stoot-n . situated on a knoll; they Httll remain an Island in t'te middle of a si-fire of desolation. This was but the ciHiitn. neeineiit, since then the bog has continued to advance in ;i rolling iino;--. continuing it-? cAdr-'^ ri;b: ?down the valley to P.tumor.'. 1m yin ? on its way three rann !<o ties, and o ?vor ing a' least one hundred and eighty acres of pasture and arable laud to a dop'h in some places of six loot. The unfortunate oempiers of the three farms have heeu turned, by this visitation of L'rovideuoe,Turmlcss and homeless, with their families, on the world. 'At Dunmore a small bridge has been removed, near the junction of the Cor rabel strvaui with the Dunmore Kiver to afford relief to the lands up the val ley, and n bog-laden torrent, is being dis charged into the latter river. The worst may be said to bo over, hut the discharging powers ol that river will be materially affected by this influx ol sol id matter. The source ol this disaster vresitntcD a wonderful tippcafah'eo. The subsidence at the discharging point can not be less than about of* feet. The extent of the bog affected is most clear ly defined by a series of black 'crev is ses,' where the upper crust of the bog has, by the subsidence below, been torn asunder. The whole assumes the form of a crater half a mile in diameter. 'With considerable difficulty we pilot ed our way to the c Mitre, where w ? foun 1 the brown liquid bog boiling out like a stream of lava aud footling the moving mass in the valley below. At the point .where the bog hurst, the turf banks were forced right dv< r and routfl on either side, and assumed somewhat the appearance of 'moraines.' 'This aud similar disasters to which this country is liable must be attributed to the absi ncc of a complete and good system of arterial drainago. A similar catastrophe occurred two yons ago, oe \ cusioned by the backwater of the River iSuckv Dear Custlcrea.' An Jleroir,J'Tagnmo Andrew Hill, the flagman ut the llroad street crossing id'the Morris aud Kssex Railroad, will ever be gratolully remembered by a young I'a'd'v who was rescued by him from imminent death. Tho young lady who is the daughter ol* a wealthy gentleman residing iu ll'.o in field, had been in the city during the afternoon, and was 01) her way to the dopot to take ihu uext train to return home. A train from Now York had just passed, and the Morristuwn train down, due tit. six o'clock came thunder ing down the grade as the girl approach ed the crossing. Iu her histo to get across, she fell directly iu front of the train. Tho headlight throw itafearful upon her prostrate form, and stont mea, who had been accustomed to'withassing muiilatcd bodies of tho victimsjpf rail road accidents, too far off to - winder as sistuncc in time, sickened and shiddorod at the thought of the inovitaboV crush i ig of the fair girl's beautiful foiW lThe nearest man was Androw IJfUi.

Tho din of tho wheels drowned thtj cry of the doomed victims, and tho n*S?i.ty out line of the train for a moment hid them from view. Mr. (?ouk'in had ,luade a jufch to save the girl, but Hill .was near er to her, and Mr. Cocklin, trembled iu every joint, saw them pro.strato^rWoso.by the track, as the train passed "wy, the girl held firmly in Hill's armH.f the danger was over, tho bravo, rose to his feet, and assisted charge charge, who was cntil scathed, to roach the depot, Wnff^sh? took the next train for home V It is stated that the father oit.heyouji.7 lady was iuqu'ring for her rescuer uej t morn ing. 4* The romance is, h> forever, tak< u out of this alia r by the fact that II ill* though young and handsome, is married, "Tito KaniatiiV* at Wash; After There used to be n clerk in ngton. ister's olliee at Washington, sayls a wri ter, who belonged to one of llua^ 'fa mi lies which ever since the foundspiou ot the Government have considered! them Selves, by prescriptive right, on! be provided for by it.

The pig is an interesting antiu il ; iu fact, there is none more so : view him as a w inde or in parts. Whether Squeal ing under a gale or worked up into hams, spare ribs and '"sassengers," he is an immense sneers; nothing iu nature oan compare with him. Naturalists have never done the pig justice unless at a late dinner; ihuir description of him applying as well to a peck of potatoes. The pig was first born in North t'aro iina, but 1 never heard of his being raised there, the wire grass of that .State only developing his 1-tig h without re gard to bicadjh or thickness; the con sequence is the farmers have to tie knots on his tail to keep him from slipping through the fence cracks; to this prac lice is attributed the curl iu his tail. For developing the greatest amount of cusscdhess in the shortest given time, the pig has no cciial unless1 it is u mule or an Irishman. If you want him to go in one direction always drive hfui in au opposite, and you are sure to get him lo the right place. Again, observe tho sly doviltry that lurks in the corner of his eye while he devours your neighbors cabbagos, combs tho mud oil his sides against the freshly painted sign post of mine host of the "Cat and Whistle," and you would believe that piggy was a veritable Sadducce, und did not believe in a hereafter, thuugh e.vpurjeuco in the shape of two "yallur dorgs'' havo ro pcatedly taught him to the contrary.
