THE NEW REPORTER,

We took a new reporter on trial. He wont out to hunt for news, and, after being away all day, returned with the following, which he said was the best he could do

'Yesterday we saw a sight which froze our blood with horror. A cabman driving down the street at a rapid space, was very near running oyer a nurse and two children. There would have been one of the most heartrending catastrophes ever recorded had not the nurse with .wonderful forethought, left the children at home before she went out, and providentially stepped into a chemist's shop just before the cab passed. Then too, the cabman, just before reaching the crossing, thought of something he had forgotten, and turning about, drove in the opposite direction. Had it not been for this wonderful occurence of • favorable circumstances, a doting father, a loving mother, and affectionate brother and sister would have been plunged into the deepest woe and most unutterable funeral expenses, The new reporter will be retained.
