Cured at the barber's shop of Henry Rau-
dolpb, in Cornhill Court, Boston, Thursday

the girl partook, and some time afterwards,
they having been in the meantime asleep, her
clothes took fire from the stove.
He attempted to put out the fire without
success, and becoming, as he says bewilder-
ed, and not being able to find the key of the
door, he leaped out of the window and fed
The girl, who was informed by the physi-

AN EDITOR NoNpLUssgD.-A good story is
told of New Orleans editor, who thought
himself "some'' at ten pins. He challenged
stranger one evening, who said he WASH t
much of player, but he d roll him game
just for amusement, and they began. The
stranger won two games easily and then pro-
posed that he should roll with his LETT hand
against the editors right. This was assented
to, and the result was as before, two more
games being scored against the editor. The
stranger then seriously proposed to roll again,
and not to use his hands at oil, but to kick
the balls down the alley, the other using his
right hand as usual The editor agreed,
thinking he had the fellow, sure, but he
kicked the balls down the alley, with astonish-
ing precision and success, making ''strlkes'
and "spares' in a style which struck terror to
the soul of the dnmbfounded editor. He then
offered to play another game, and blow the
balls down the alley, using neither hands nor
feet, but the editor was quite satisfied. and
left the place amid the laughter of the COM
panY.

CHARCOAL BURNERS NEARLY Roasted
ALIvE.-A serious accident occurred at Re-
hoboth, in Bristol county, last Saturday,
Two young men, inhabitants of that place,
were engaged at night in watching a charcoal
pit, sleeping by turns. By accident, they
both fell asleep in their Int, and awoke to
find it one mass of flames. The smoke was
SO dense that the door could not be seen, and
it was with great difficulty, and after being
badly burned, that they reached the open air
Their countenances had been turned nearly
black by the dense smoke, and their arms and
bodies were almost blister from the terrible
burns. The nearest residence, that of a " i'd
ow woman, was mile distant. and to this
they walked, but we're refused admittance, as
their voices were SO changed that she did not
recognize them, and feared that they were
robbers. They were thus obliged to continue
their journey to the next house, a eonsidera.
Bile distance, where they were taken in, and
physicians sent for. 1t was at first thought
that they could not survive, but the last &C.
counts state that there is now probability of
their recovery.

bring $4,000 and upwards. In 1916, John
Hunt, millionaire, purchased, ON the corner
of Thirty sixth street and Fifth Avenue, a
lot for $2,4O0, which was deemed an act of
insanity by his friends. The same lot will
now bring $4,000 In lS47, lots in Thirty
seventh and Thrty-eight streets were pur
chased by Ex-Mayor Brady, at corporation
sale, at $500 each. The same lots are now
worth $4,000 each. In 1926, the late Zach

Avenue and Forty. second street, at Sl56
each. The same lots are nav worth ST. 500
each, having been sold in 1854, together, for
over $4,000. These instances show most
extraordinary rise in the value of real estate

Mrs Roe, an English woman living in New
York, offered her drunken, abusive husband
his choice-a complaint against him for as
sault IN court, or his travelling expenses to
Europe, ten dollars for pocket money, and a
promise never to see her again, He accepted
the latter, and will soon start.
"A victim of uncomfortable impulse" is
mentioned i'll the New York papers. A lady
was caught shoplitting at Stuarts. She was
very dgnlhed IN her appearance, elegantly
dressed, and evidently not a professional, :"
but monomanlac; so there was no COM
plant made against her by the propnetors, al
though she had bagged $l40 worth of arti-
cles.
1t has been ascertaned that the failure of
Messrs. Thompson and Wetmore, well-known
dry goods merchants in Chicago, was caused
by the peculations of Frederick Gross, a Ger
man porter employed in the etore, who, it is
estimated, has stolen 80, 600 worth OF goods
from the hrm during rhe last three years.
The fellows sudden accumulation of wealth
excited suspicion, and on searching his house
5000 worth of goods were found. He con-
fesses the theft.
A boy was born in West Roxbury, Massa-
chusets, on the Sd inst, who can count
probably, more living ancestors than any 9TH
ct person IN Massachusetts,. He has. OF
coulSe, mother, but he also possesses the
care OF the following A grandmother aged
forty; great grandmother aged fifty eight ;
great-great-grandmothe aged seventy nlne,
and great great. great grandfather aged
ninety seven. But the most singular OF all
is that all but the old gentleman were born
in the same house and the same room, and he
says he himself would have been, had it not
been Tor visit his parents were making near
Boston. Mr.. Prescott, the old gentleman re-
terred to, Is now looking finely, and he says
that If he lives long enough to see his last
little hero married ana ia Their, he will beat
the world and be satisfied.

breast, and Peel in the shoulder. One of
Peel's fingers was taken off by the shot. The
second shot took effect in both. Rucker then
rose upon his knees and fred twice, both

The Chicago Herald of Nov. TIN says "present
appearances indicate that there will be no election
Of United States Senator in Illinois until 1860.
We believe, from all the indications perceptible
at present, that the defeat of Douglas is certain,
and We find there are many, even among his fol-
lowers, who entertain the same belief" 1t says
some of the members of the Legislature just
elected will not support him-at least three of the
Democratic senators holding over, being firmly
bent upon opposing his reelection.

The SUPPLY OF CoTroN.-The estimates of
the crop have been raised at the South by the
Inc weather and large receipt, the minim um
now being 3,4O0, 900 bales, and there is very
little doubt that it will reach 5000 900 bales.
AS the supply for the year will be ample It
only needs that the consumers shall purchase
their supplies from time to time in moderate
qualities, to bring down the cost of the raw
material within reasonable limits. The plant
ere can well sell at price three cents below
current rates, and then be in the enjoyment Of
by far the most profitable business in the coun-
try.-Boston TraUelter.

with three counties to be heard from, which will
