A gentleman Killed by Telegraph.

The toronto Globe relates the particu-
lars of very serious joke. About
week ago, George Browne, Esq, Presi-
dent of the Buffalo and Lake Hr!on
Railway, whose place Of residence is
Goderich, had occasion to visit Toronto
on business, and took up his abode at
Ellah's Hotel. On the afternoon of the
day of his arrival, he was taken i'll, and a
telegram was sent to Mrs. Browne, enm.
moning het to Toronto. Of course she
lost no time in making arrangements ,and
reached Toronto by the first train on the
following morning. Finding that her
husband was not seriously irdisposed, or
at least that there was no immediate
danger,she caused his nephew to tele-
graph 10 that fleet to Goderich, in order
to allay the anxiety of the members of
the family she had left behind. The
nephew proceeded to the telegraph Office
and penned the following dispatch, W hich
he handed to the clerk; ''Mr. Browne
is no worse, Mrs Browne write to. night"
The slip was sent up stairs, and the
dispatch transmitted over the wires.-
When it reached the Godeiieh office,
however, slight change bad been made
in it. Whether from the illegible writing
or the mistake of the operator, cannot be
distinctly ascertained, but at any rate,
the message sent to the family read as
follows: "Mr. Browne is no more, Mrs
Browne will write tonight As may
be imagined, the family were thrown in-
to the greatest grief on the receipt of the
melancholy intelligence. The news was
soon known all over Goderich, and the
people were greatly grieved at the un~
expected demise of one whom they all
loved and respected. Mr.. R. S. Carter,
the manager OF the Buffalo and Lake
Huron Railway. visited the house OF
mourning, and signi6ed his intention OF
proceeding to Toronto with special traip
to bring home the remains of his lamen-
ted chief. The train was got ready with.
out delay, and Mr.. Carter and Mr.
| Brownies eldest son came to this city as
passengers on it. When it reached
Queens Wharf station the grief-stricken
passengers entered one of the Great
Western trains. and were soon at Elijah S
Hotel. Their pleasure and astonishmen,
may be imagined wien they entered the
public parlor and found Mr.. Browne sit
ting talking and laughing with some 9th
er gentlemen and enjoying good health,
having recovered from his indisposition
Mutual explanations took place; and all
parties Were overjoyed to find that the
gentleman had only been ''killed by

HOW TO KEEP EGGS.

A correspondent at GoodwinsvillN N
J. has had good success in keeping eggs
in the following manner. With an inch-
and "a half .auger .holes were bored in
shelves, which were put up in cool eel
lar protected from frost. The eggs, as
fast as collected, were set in these holes,
with the little end downward. Some were
used in three months, some in six x'months,
and the balance in a little over a year
from the time of storing, and all were res
ported as perfectly good. The cellar in
which eggs were kept so we'll. must, we
think. have been very dry and cool. Il
would be well for those making this ex.
pertinent to try a small quantity at first
they may not keep as we'll under al
circumstances, as in the case above.

Save the Leaves.

If Bro. Johnathaa were as saving Of
manures as John Bull is, be would be q
better farmer. No one knows until he has
seen it, how careful English and Europe.
an farmers and gardeners are of every.
thing which can be converted into ma
nuree. And :his is one ground of their
superiority in agriculture.
Now, let us repeat, what we have Of.
ten said. that few things are more valua-
ble for fertilizing purposes than decayed
leaves. They are hardly infeiier to barn.
yard manure. Gather them up, now,
this very month of November, before thew
are covered with snow. They are abua-
dant everywhere. lying in heaps and
"lndrows In the forest and by the road
side, and by the fences in every yard.-
The wood-l lot should not be stripped clean
of them; but doubtless every farmers
land contains more of them here and
there, than he can find time to cart home.
Gather them up, BY raking. or by sweep.
ing with large birch broom. Stack them
and pack them in the large wagon, adding
side boards as hig has convenient; you
will hardly get too heavy load. Cart
them home. and use them as bedding for
cattle and horses; use them for compost
in the stable-yard; use them to protect
tender grape vines and shrubs and plants
in Winter. Strawberry patches will fairly
sing for Joy under such a feathery blank.
ct. By all means, save the leaves, and
use them.

Rma arkable Case of Syncope.-The Sup
POSED DeaI Returns to Life.

A most remarkable case of suspended
anima alton, which recently occurred in q
house on Povdtas street near the emarket.
has thrown the neighborhood in a state
of great excitement. A young woman
was lying very III with dangerous ail-
ment, from which she was not expected
to recover. and her friends took turns IN
sitting up with her, constantly fearing her
death, as she was reduced painfully, and
her physician did not express hope of
saving her. On Friday evening a sister
and young girl. who were sitting by her
bedside sewing while the invalid had been
supposed asleep, after having taken qui.
citing portion, were suddenly alarmed at
noticing the deathIike appearance of the
sufferer. They laid their hands upon her,
and found the body growing cold. Hold
ing small mirror over the mouth its

young girl who had been sitting up with
the invalid was sent to, the chamber of

FIVE PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH
ON THE PRAIRIE

We learn from The Story County (Iowa)
Ad0ocate of the lst inst, that Daniel
Swearlngen, recently from Tuscatawas
county. in Ohio, passed through Nevada
on the Monday previous. with his family
consisting OF his wife and four children,
en- his way to his farm near Fort Dodge.
The Adooeots says: a
Without other warning than a moment 5
sensation of heat as felt through the cover
of the wagon in which they were riding
in fancied securiety, they were overtaken
by fire on the prairie. Before any meas
ures could be taken for protection. the
wagon cover was in flames. In a moment
the bedding and other inf mmable ma.
terial in the wagon was on FIRE, and be-
fore Mr. s. could make his way out of the
wagon through the flames, his clothing
was on fire. Unfortunately as he iell out
of the wagon, he was kicked by one of
the horses, and for time stunned be-
yond ability to help the others. He re-
vived in time to see mis- wife fall from The
wagon, burned..to death, and to drag from
the flames one of his children, already
dead. His own clothing was burned
entirely from his body, and he is severely
burned, especially in the head, face and
hands. He is at present sightless, but
hopes are entertained of his recovery,
and that his eye sight is not destroyed.
Two of the children were literally burned
up in the wagon, OF one, nothing could
be found but the skull; the other char
red mass, in which there was no trace OF
humanity left.
One OF the horses was burned to death
in the harness; the other succeeded in
freeing himself. but is badly burned.
The dead are Mary Ann, the wife of
Mr.. swearingen, aged 80 years; Sarah
Jane, Rebecca. Ellen. George Dalton, and
Sabrina, his children, aged respectively
eleven, nine. seven and two years.
The calamity occurred about seven
miles northwest of this place on the Fort
Dodge road, in small tasin, or COM
mencement of water channel. s..'rs
