But his musings were more in sorrow than in
anger His disfgured countenance was, of
course, the subject of numerous questions that
night among his friends to which he replied
with stern look that they well understood and
the vague remark that he had met with an acct

Ned looked in the glass, and compared his black
eve from the recent scufie, to the rainbow ship
wreck scene-"blending every color into one.''
Or perhaps he never read the story, and muttered
to himself, s'Ned Forgeron whipped by Metho-
dist preacher y
From that time his whole conduct manifested
a change of feeling. The gossps of the neigh
borhood observed it, and whispered that Ned was
silent, and had gone to meeting every Sunday
since the accident. They wondered greatly at
his burning the books he used TO read so much
Strange stories were circulated to the meta
morphosis of this iovial, daredevil blacksmith,
into gloomy and taciturn man some supposed,
very sagely that esprit had enticed him into
the mountains, and after giving him a glimpse in
to the future, had msled him to crag, where he
had fallen and bruised his face. Others gave the
prince of darkness the credit of the change, but
none suspected the Methodist preacher and the
latter having no vanity to gratify the secret re-
manned with Ned, The gloomy state of mind
continued until Forgeron visited a camp meeting.
Rev. Mr. Stubbleworth preached sermon that
seemed to enter his soul and relieve him of bur-
den; and the song of
GLOW happy they who their Savior obey
was only half through when he felt a new man.
Forgeron was from that time shouting Metho-
dist At love-feast short time subsequent,
he gave in his experience, and revealed the mys-
terry of his conviction and conversion to his aston
ished neighbors.
The Rev. Mr.. Stubbleworth. who had faithfully
kept the secret until that time, could not contain
himself any longer, but gave vent to his feelings
in convulsive peels of laughter, the burning
tears ofjoy coursed their way down his cheeks.

CARRIER PIGEONS. The London MORNING
Post mentions the unusual event of the arrival ~
a carrier pigeon from Ichaboe, the great Guano
Island It seems that at the terminus of the
Southwestern Railway, at Vauxhall, the pigeon
was seen, in an exhausted state. II was ca1obt
by hand, but died shortly afterwards. A label
was appended to one Of its legs, addressed to his
grace the Duke of wellington which stated that
three pigeons were thrown up at the island of
Ichaboe, and bore date July, 1916. The distance
is computed to be between two and three thou
sand miles from the place where the pigeon APP
pears to have been liberated to its destination in
London. The bird, with its appendage, was i'm
mediately forwarded to Apsley House, and the
Duke, by an autograph note, the next day cour-
teously acknowledged the receipt to the party
who sent the bird. II has been stuffed and in the
process IL has been discovered that the bird was
shot, otherwise there can be no doubt it would
have reached home, and It's supposed not to have
had strength to cross the Thames.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL-DISCOVERY
OF INTERESTING RELICS.

For some days past, workmen have been en-
gagged in digging well on the Battle ground, in
Charlestown, on land owned by Phineas J. Stone.
On Saturday, quite an excitement was produced
by the discovery of several entire human skele-
tons, and on some careful search being made,
large number of other articles were found, which
at once identified the spot the depository of the
remains of a large number of those who fell In
the memorable battle of the 18th June, l776.-
The skeletons were in an unusually sound condi-
ton, and on one of the skulls. wound, appa-
rently inflicted by sword, was plainly visible
On another, the hair was found almost entire, and
in remarkable state of preservation.
Quite number of metal buttons, numbering
from 43 to 81 were also thrown up These
would seem to have belonged to the enemy. as
they bear the numbers of several of their reg-
ments, and as it is well known that none such
were worn by the Americans. The other arti-
cles consist Of knee buckles, musket balls and
copper coin, the latter being too much corroded
to discover their character or dates The place
where these remains and relics were found. is

nnrAnr11 ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE
 A deplorable accident occurred yesterday after' roon at the railroad crossing corner of Broadway and Colonie st., as the western train was passing down. The circumstances are as follows:
 Geo. Wilson, of Cohoes viiingc, keeper of live. rv stable at that place, was driving up Broadway with his carriage, hack, containing MT. Jacob Anthony. keeper of the Cohoes Hotel, his wife, a Mr. Lyman, of Rochester, and his wife and child. When near the railroad crossing, and, as we learn after the alarm had been rung he showed dlsposi- tion to drive across.
 The man stationed there to keep people and ve- hicles off and to sweep the crossing, raised hls broom, and by every gesture in his power to make, warned Wilson to stop. Half dozen other per- sons also shouted to him 10 stop, but, strange to say, he drove up. The catastrophe was terrible. The carriage was struck nearly in the centre of the side by the locomotive, and instantly thrcwn over. MT. Anthony, seeing the danger, jumped out an In- stant before the collision, and saved himself Mrs. Anthony, in attempting to do so. fell across the track. The engine, tender, and three or four cars passed directly over her body, nearly severing t in two! Her death--unfortunate woman! was awful and instantaneous. The carriage, half shattered tc pieces, was showed along in front of the locomotive nearly forty rods before the cars were stopped MT. Lyman was then found between the engine and the carriage, not killed, but severely bruised and gashed about the head, and also bruised in the breast. Mrs. Lyman and the child escaped unhurt
 Mrs. Anthony was taken into tho house of Mr. Simons, on Broadway, where she was laid out and where the coroner's inquest was held, which re. suited in a verdict of censure upon no one!! Mr. Lyman was also carried in there, and his wounds were dressed by Drs. Quackenbush and Hall.
 One of the horses was killed-the other not hurt
 The blame of this transaction rests upon Wilson. the driver. The cars were proceeding at their nsu- al rate, and every warning was given him to keep back.-.A'b0ay Citizen, Aug 22. ,.. ..
