The peculiar Improvement in the construc-

heary ,rooden frame w~k is entirely dispensed
with, and its place s1pPlIed by lighter and
much more durable frame, the springs are all
connected by harness-ieaher hinges, securely
riveted, rendering it impossible for single

making Bed SO elastic that any part may be
raised or bent up, and is thus admirably fitted

require a sitting posture, having the luxurious
softness of the best Feather Bed with the light
ness and facility of handling of the common

RATHER TOUGH.

The following story was told in Sandus-
ky, Ohio, and appears in the Massillon
News, which says:
A party of young men in that ancient
city amuse their leisure moments at the
hotels in drawing long low, or telling
wonderful yarns to each other for the
benefit Of those apparently verdant who
may happen to come in from other parts.
They tried the effect of a few extraordina.
ry wolf stories upon a venerable and sedate
customer not long since, who had come to
spend the night at the best hotel, and he
listened to them with much apparent sur
prise and interest until their stock appear
ed to have run out and the conversation
tagged, when he remarked tha, he had
been much interested in the news they had
given him, relative to the primeval in
habitants of that country but regarded an
event in his early life as more peculiar
than any they had named. Said he:
"When young man was travelling in
western New York, and late of a stormy
night applied at log cabin for lodging.
The occupant, a woman, refused II, saying
that her husband and sons were out hunt
ing and if they found me there, would
murder me. preferred the chance to the
storm, and she consented that might lie
down before the FIRE. In the night,
heard them coming, and scrambling up the
chimney.
thinking was safe when at the top, l
stepped over the roof, and jumping down
off the cabin, jumped plump into . wolf
trap. A scream of pain brought the men
and the boys out, and they declared de-
served O more severe punishment than
death, SO they kept me both in the trap
and in suspense until morning, and then,
heading me up in a hogShead, with no air
or light but through the buughole, they put
me on sled and drove me some four miles
up a hill, and there rolled me off to starve.
This undoubtedly would have done but
for a very singular occurrence. The wolves
smelled me out and gathered round my
prison, when one Of them,i in turning round,
happened to thrust his tail into the bung
hole. 1t was my only chance. caught
firm hold, and held on like death to a ne
gro, which frightened the wolf, Of course,
and he started down the hill, followed by
the hogshead and me. 1t was very nn-
easy ride, over the stones and stumps; but
] had no idea how long it was until the
hogshead striking stone fairly, the slaves,
worn by long travel, were broken in, and
dumped ! out to find myself away down in
the lower part of Cattaraugus county, some
thirty miles from the scene of the disaster.
Good night, gentlemen. l did not express
any doubt Of the truth of your stories, and
hope you Will not of mine"
1t is currently reported that the "sell'
club Of Sandusky has not had full meet
