~ A sick gentleman of Cincinnati, who
had been in habit of bathing himself with
alcohol on retiring TO rest, narrowly escaped
death one night last week. He had com
pleted his abolutions, and n'addltlon bathed
his head and face freely in cold ,cater; and
while placing the extinguisherover the cam
die with the intention of retiring to bed,
drop of the spirits, as is supposed fell upon
the wick, and he was immediately enyel-
oped in flames. The water upon his head
and face secured them from injury, but his
whole body and limbs, we understand, were
very seriously burned. His room-inaie,
who was awakened by his screams, extin-
g1lished the flames.

an unusual collection of brown thrushes in
a hedge contiguous TO his residence. His
attention having been drawn toward them
for several successive days by their loud
cries and eccentric movements, he was at
length induced to investigate more closely
the cause of this unwonted congress of his
ieathered tenants, and ascertain ii possible
the cause of their excitement. Upon .ex-
amining the bushes he discovered female

Near by was a nest containing several half
grown birds. From the attendant circum-
stances he Immediately concluded that the
marternal bird must have become entang-

completed, and that some friendly neigh
