Grumblers,

1t is impossible for some men to do
the slightest thing without doing it
mechanically. The hardest situation
for a grumbler to be placed in, is to
feel like grumbling and have nothing
to grumble at. To set around, think
ing Nature has given nothing but the
blank and murky side Of her smiling
face to gaze upon, looking for all the
world as if chewing the cud of bitter
memory, filled with bills payable and
bills receivable terrible in wrong dis
proportion, is the picture we form of
nn habitual grumbler. He that thinks
himself the happiest man, undoubtedly
is bleSt with full measure of comfort
in this world of upheaving discords. -
Some one says, if you find a man dis
posed to complain of the GOODNESS of
the world be sure you will find that
he has never brought anything into
the world to warm it, but is personal
lump Of ice set in the midst of it. II
you find a man who complains that the
world is all hollow and base, tap him,
end he will probably sound base and
hollow. And SO, in the other way, a
kind man will find kindness all about
him-the merciful man will find mercy.
He who has always had kind excuse
for Others, who has looked at the
brightest side of the case; he who has
rendered his pardon and his help when
ever he could, who has never brought
bis fellow man into any strait by rea-
son of bis not helping him, will find
the mercy which he has bestowed flows
hack upon him in a full and spontane-
ous spring.

Discovery OF MORE MAMMOTH
TREEs.-A grove of mammoth trees
even larger than those of Calaveras,
which have become so celebrated as
California wonders, has been discoy-
cred in an unfrequented part of Mari
posa county. The largest tree in the
Calyeras group was one hundred and
five feet in circumference, in this more
recently discovered grove tree was
found measuring one hundred and four
teen feet in circumference. The grove
contains six hundred of these mon
sters, none others of them perhaps
quite SO large, but all of them of ap-
proximate proportions These trees
grow on the South fork of the MERGED
river about thirty miles southeast of
the town of Mariposa. One Of the
trees, one hundred feet from the ground
has a circumference of sixty-six feet,
and branch measuring eighteen feet
in circumference.

Fatal. ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RAIL
ROAD. A few days ago shocking ac-
cident occurred to a woman named
Wurck, residing at New Hampton,
Orange county, on the Erie Railroad,
by which she was killed instantly
She, in company with another woman,
was walking upon the track, on the
bridge, near that place, as the express
train was approaching. Both were
alarmed, but the woman in company
with Mrs. Wurck, had sufficient pres
ence of mind to make for the side of
the bridge opposite to that upon which
the train was. Mrs. Wurck, however,
ran from one track to the other, and
just as the train was passing at full
speed she placed herself directly in
front Of the engine, which passed over
her body, tearing and mangling her in
terrible manner, and killing her in
stantly. An inquest has since been
held upon the body, and a verdict of
accidental death rendered. The COM
pany are exonerated from blame

Patchen, but darkness coming on be-

2:28-2:l3, and the third was given
to the stallion in 2:24. Patchen trot-

FACTS TO BE POWDERED. About
1000 citizens have been manufactured,
under our naturalization laws, for the
late election in the State of New Jer-
sey-the bulk of them in Jersey City,
Hoboken, Newark, Elizabeth, and Cam
den. Probably not one in ten of the
1000 could read or write, and not one
in 1000 had read the Constitution of
the United States which they have
severally swornto support. Probably
the citizens papers of seventy-fve out
of every hundred men of them all were
paid for in consideration of their vote.
Probably some of them knew full as
much of the merits of the candidate on
their tickets as they did about their
names and in that matter were as wise
as the New York adopted citizen, who,
to this day, when asked how he voted
at the last election, says: {" ] voted for

THE DEAD OF HARPER's FERRY

THE DEAD OF HARPER's FERRY
Some curiosity has been expressed to
ascertain the disposition made by the
Virginians of the bodies of the insur-
gents at Harper's Ferry. We learn
from a private source, letter from
gentleman in Virginia to his friends in
this State, that the corpse of one Of
the sons of Brown was taken for dissec-
tion, to the Medical College at Winches-
ter. There it lay for day or two, ex-
posed naked to the view of crowds
who thronged the place, to crafty
their curiosity; and such was the ven
ON excited by the object, that the
chivalrous Virginians in numberless
instances kicked the body of young
Brown as lay ghastly bloody corpse
on the floor at their feet. Gin. Com

The Fashions.

Fashions are like fowers-we fine
them in all seasons; their eolors anC
their forms may vary, but they alway'
have their charms the rich dahlia o
autumn is no less pleasing than the
fresh rose Of spring.
Thus some peignois now made in 6
style suitable to change of season
are quite as elegant, and as much adj
mired as those of thinner texture worn
during the summer
Muslin is now seldom seen for a
walking dress this is the season for
Indian cashmeres, which will always
be aristocratic and distinguish. We
CLEAN the following items on the fash
ions for the coming winter from LIE
Toilet:
Some very simple, yet beautiful eve
ming dresses are made of clear white
checked organdies, the checks formed
merely with thread, the angle marked
with shamrock, a Maltese cross, or a
star. embroidered.
White, pink, blue and lilac grena-
dimes, white or colored tarlatans, with
one or two skirts with little founces
are still worn.
Some beautiful trimmings, suitable
for autumn and winter, have just been
introduced Ribbons of silk and vel
vet, satin and velvet, chimes and
striped velvet, will be amongst the
novelties of the season. Plat of
gros- grain silk, tassels, large buttons
trimmed with lace, jet gimp, are all in
vogue. Autumn shawls made of vel
vet, trimmed with chenille fringe, look
exceeding handsome. A trousseau is
incomplete without lace shawl and
lace founces. Stripes are as much
made in wooden material as in silk
Some are in velvet, embroidered in
natural flowers and canoes, producing
a charming effect.
Already we see dresses of poplin
and Paris velvet, with long pile, the
ground of sombre colors-dark green,
dark blue, black, above all, brown,
spotted with gold color, cerise or blue,
or any other designs, but always of a
small figure, and contrasting color.
These fabrics, Notwithstanding their
thickness, are set on at the waist in
double and triple plaits, and the
sleeves, which are very wide, are set in
at the shoulders in the same manner,
but at short distance down, velvet
ribbon, about three or four inches
wide, is put round, and dressing in
point, is tied. The ends hang down.
A row of black velvet buttons is
placed up the front of the dress, and a
velvet ribbon round the bottom of the
skirt and sleeves. Some silk dresses
are trimmed with one wide founce,
with heading, reaching nearly to the
knee. Another, narrower, but also
with heading, is placed little above,
and carried up the front and tunic -
This upper founce is made wider be-
hind, and gradually decreased toward
the waist, in front. A berthe, pointed
on the shoulder, forming an epaulette,
and graduated bows down the front,
reaching to the lower founce, COM
plete the trimming of the dress.

In Philadelphia they have an insti-
tuition called the Fuel Saving Society
formed for the sole purpose of receiv-
ing from poor folks their dimes, when
they have them to spare, to be laid
out in purchasing fuel at wholesale
rates, which they receive during the
winter. The good this thing has
done for nearly thirty years is marvel
lous. A cent day buys one ton Of
coal; eight cents for nineteen weeks
entities the depositor to halfa ton, and
II cents to a whole ton. Those able
to buy their own fuel are not allowed
as depositors, nor will any deposit
larger than so cents be received at
one time, nor more than So in any one
month, nor more than the price of
three tons in one season. 1t is for the
poor exclusively, and 222 Of them used
it last year, depositing 81, lis and
drawing 1913 tons of prime coal: The
families of the depositors numbered
1872 men, 246 women, and 1863 chill
dren. Of these So were washerwomen
with females in various other positions.

JOHN BROWN, JR.-This individual
whom our neighbor of the Garfield

style terms a miscreant is still a
resident of Ashtabula county, and has
not fed to Canada as was announced
some time since. The Ashtabula Sent

John Brown, Jr., has not been out
of this county since the raid at Har-
per's Ferry. He lives a few miles
from this place, and comes in every
day or two to get the latest news
from the scene of trouble. His family
and himself are beloved and sympa-
thized with his neighbors of all parties;
and well he may be; for he is one of
the finest specimens of men physically
and intellectually. He is the son who
was imprisoned at Lecompton in 1856,
and having gone through the fire of
the struggle for Liberty in Kansas, he
seems to come out the pure gold.
Apart from the interest in his history
and circumstances at this time, he is a
man who would be distinguished any
where for his active, energetic temper
ament and fearless manner. Socially
he is amiable, warpl hearted and affec-
tionate, and seems to be as free from
a spirit of revenge as his father. I'm
der the trying Affections which have
befallen him, he bears himself with
manly frmness, which dignifes but
does not conceal the agony of his feel
ings.

short time after she went into the

stEpor to change cars, when she dis
covered that her dress had been cut
