THE DEAD ALIvE-THE Frozen
THAwED oUT-A NARROW ESCAPE
We are gratifed to be able to an
bounce that the man who was report
ID to us by Mr.. Lyon, the turnkey at
}he county Jail, as having been abso-
utely, and beyond all question, frozen
0 death in his buggy on Sunday, a
ew miles from the city, has come to
ife again. It turns out to have been
ar. G. W. Fuquay, of the firm of
Weed & Fuquay, dealers in fancy
ry goods, &C., on Main Street. He
Fas en- route from Newburg to this
ity, and becoming very cold and
umb, fell asleep in his buggy with
is hands on his ears to warm them,
hen his horse stopped in the road,
nd be would have, beyond all ques-
on frozen to death, had he not for
lnately been discovered. He was
holly unconscious, and those discov-
ing him really supposed him dead,
I'd conveyed him to the house of Mr..
erry, we'll satisfied he was a corpse.
=. Fuquay remained unconscious
I'LL near midnight, when, by power
restoratives used by Mr.. Terry, he
rs resuscitated, and reached home
a fair way fully to recover. 1t was,
Iced, narrow escape, and we con-
4tulate him upon being still in the

PREPARING TO MovE.-We regret
to learn that Gov. Baker is preparing
to move his family to Indianapolis.
Our regret is, however, modified by
the fact that he is about entering a
field Of duties in which he can be
more generally useful to the whole
State, and as these duties will, prob
ably, require his residence at the
State Capital for the next six years, it
lis his interest to move his family
there.

you've heard Of her,-the story is just
the thing for sensation novel; she
has been engaged since she was in

When Larriston's girl wed's Yeo's son."
OF course they hate each other, and
of course the heiress has taken to the
church for consolation, and found it
in the curate. My sister says she ex-
poets an elopement, and rather leans
to the lady's side; now all my sympa-

A aTILLERITE PERPLEXED ABOUT
MAKING PURCHASES.

A recent expected fulfiilment of pre-
diction of the end of the world gave rise
to very queer adventures in some parts of
Connecticut, where the prospects of sublina-
ry things for a time were considered very
precarious and uncertain. The Hartford
Times tells the following:
A few days since a rather rustic solemn
visaged individual entered one of our
fashionable shoe stores, and after having
salUted one Of the gentlemanly clerks with
How dye do Y0 said:
/ want to ask you one question"
% Proceed, sir" said the clerk.
Z" l want to know" continued the custo-
mer, =" if you've got boot of eight size in
length and seven in width that will fit me
Il was just year ago to-day or to morrow,I
cant remember which, that bought pair
Of boots in this store, and thay'Ve wore me
first rate"
" I believe that we have the reputation of
keeping a good article in that line, sir"
returned the clerk. 20 If you will step in
this way, l think can suit you again"
After trying on several pairs, with the
combined assistance of muscular exertion
and pulverized soap~stone, a fit was pro-
nounced, and afterthe price had been agreed
upon, the customer said he would a" take
en-" As the clerk was about TO wrap
them up, the prospective owner Of the boots
remarked:
" shan't be able to take 'em to-day, as
haven't got the money to pay for 'em-or
well, I've got the money, but I've got
other expenses } meet. I'll call for EN-
the last Of next week, or the fore part of
the week after"
'Nerylwell, sir, said the clerk, we will
lay them aside for you, and await your con-
venience."
About this time other customers entered,
and the clerk was obliged to postpone fur
Their conversation to wait on them, during
which time our friend amused himself by
taking general observations about the
store. In a few moments the clerk re-
turned to receive final instructions in re.
gard to the boots.
81 suppose yon know" resumed he of the
boots, that there's goin' 10 be camp-meet-
ing up to Warehouse Point next week
I'm goin' up. Are you goin up"
The clerk remarked that he might pos.
sibly.
of you do comeup bring up them boots;
I'll be there"
Certainly, sir, if come"
