A Tough Story.

A Western paper tells the follow.
ing rather tough story. Iftrue, it is
the most remarkable on record:
An accident or remarkable na-
ture occurred In the woods of a
neighboring county last week, by
which man was thrown eighty feet
into the air. He waS standing on a
balance tree laying across "a large
log, to see another tree come down,
when the tree in its falling course
struck the other end of the tree, on
which he was standing. and the tre-
mendous weight of it coming on
the spring lever-threw him like
shot into the air.
The remarkable part of the story
remains TO be told. When at his
highest elevation the man caught
hold of the top of n tee about fifteen
feet from the trunk, and remained
suspended by the arms until the per-
son who had felled the tree trayaled
distance of five miles and returned
with help and o ladder before he
could be released from his perilous
position. He was found in the same
position as when left, evidently in
the best of spirits, for he was whist
ling Yankee Doodle and making q
strong fight against strong delega-
ton of wasps that were endeavoring
to build nest in the seat OF his
pants. He said, upon reaching the
ground, that he had a healthy time
with the 'varmints,' and attributed
his powers of endurance wholly to
the hotly contested canvass with the
critters by their persistent fire in
the rear, and the tremendous ex-
citement incident thereto.
Ifthat man ever gets into Office he
will be provided for for the rest of
his natural life. He will know how
20 hang on to it.

A LAWYER OUT OF HIS RECKONING
Rufus Choate, in an important as
sault and battery at sea case, had

At the beginning of his testimony
Dick had said that the night was

''Binnacle lamp aboard the Chal

''Ah, you are growing sharp, Mr..

ACCIDENT ON THE Iron RAILROAD
About 8 o'clock last Friday morning,
the little locomotive, EtRa, attached
to u construction train, ran into the
coal train near Vesuvius Station, and
was completely demolished. Only
two persons were on board at the
time--the engineer, Mr. Beanan, and
Samuel Richards, Secretary of the
road. Mr.. Beaman wss slightly in
jured in the head and one leg. and
MIR. Richards was very severely
bruised in the head, shoulder and
both legs. The Etna had just put
off lot of repair hands, and was
running at full speed--meeting the
coal train on short curve--the
two trains were within about eighty
yards of each other before they knew

Ea- Later intelligence has beer

H- Later intelligence has been
received at st. Johns, Newfound-
land, from Capt. Hall, who is search
ing the Arctic regions for traces of
Sir John Franklin's expedition. He
had determined upon prosecuting his
enterprise the coming winter, and
made every arrangement for the pur.
pose, depositing supplies of prOyis
ions at easy stages along the propos-
ed route. From some hostile Es-
quimaux he learned that, at about
the time of the loss of-Sir Jno. Frank
Inns vessel. some white men carried
dead body on shore and built a
brick vault, which they carefully
cemented, and in which they deposit
ed the corpse, afterward covering
the vault with heavy flag stones
This body Mr.. Hall believes to be
the remains of Sir John, and his in.
tention is to visit the locality and
satisfy himself upon the point, if
possible. He has secured many
valuable articles formerly owned by
Sir Johns party.

ES- The Lexington Statesman of
yesterday says that sat the celebra-
ton of Democratic victories last
week at Georgetown, Kentucky, the
young ladies of female school at
that place who participated on the
occasion, were required to wear a
red white ard-red badge on their
arm, and one lady who refused to do
so, was threatened with punishment
for her refusal. We are glad to know
that she resisted, and finally tore the
badge from her arm, where it had
been forcibly placed, and threw it in
the fire. We are further informed
that the ladies were instructed that
each of them must have Confede-
