A ToUoHIEo IEoIDEHT.-0ne of the survivors
Of the disaster to the steamboat David white,
on the Mississippi river, relates this touching
incident;
al called on the hands and walters that were
left to help me launch the life boat. The first
to respond to the call was one Of the most
horrible sights saw during the day-a little
negro boy, an engine greaser. stark naked, ex-
cept piece Of shirt, and scalded from his waist
to bis feet till the great fakes of bloody skiu
rolled down his legs every time he moved. He
laid hold, saying as he did SO. 'Ah, bOssy, Use
most gone I's burnt all over, but dis boat must
get 10 de river Heroic little negro He was
rescued, but they say will die. The ladies all
The way through behaved like heroines-nOt a
scream was heard from one Of them-not as
aueh terror shown during our greatest danger
as have seen sentimental misses exhibit If a
Moses-like COW ohanced to turn her head toward
them. At the time our life boat sunk q man
rushed up to Mrs. Shaw, caught her by the
hand, and begged her to save him. She told
him TO shut his mouth and keep his senses, and
he would be saved when they all were."

SINGULAR AcoIDENT-A MAN THROWN
EIaHTY FEET INTO THE AIR.-The Apple
ton Crescent gives an account of the killing
of Christian Trussell In the woods, in Dale,
Gutagamie county, New York, by most
singular and terrible accident, as follows:--
at appears that party Of men were in
the woods cutting fallow, and where they
were chopping two large trees had been
felled--one across the other-the one on top
balancing nearly. Tho man who was killed
was choppins near these trees, and another
party having large tree about ready TO
come down, hailed him to look out, when
he ran and stood on the top of the balanc-
ing tree to see the other come down. The
men then brought the tree down, which
struck the other end of the tree on which
Trussell was standing, and the tremendous
weight of it coming upon the spring lever,
threw him like shot into the air upwards
of eighty feet. In coming down one of his
legs, from his knee to his hip, was shattered
to atoms, and the back of his head was stove
in. He was taken up with some life in him,
but soon expired"

Mrs. Haskell in the Household Encyclope

leaks, some Of which we commend to the
careful attention Of every housekeeper.
Much waste is experienced in boiling, etc,
OF meats. Unless watched, the cook will
throw out the water without letting it COO

pan into the swill pail. The grease is useful
IN many ways. 1t can be burned in lamps,
mixed with lard, or when no pork has been
boiled with 1t, made into candles. When
pork has been boiled alone, 1t will do to fry
cakes If cleansed.
Pie crust is left and laid by to sour instead
of making tarts for tea.
Cold puddings are considered good for
nothing, when oftentimes they can be steam.
ed for next day, or as in the case Of rice,
made over in other forms.
Dishcloths are thrown where mice can
destroy them.
The scrub-brush is left in water, pals
scerched by the fire, tubs and barrels left in
the snn to dry and fall apart, chamber pals
allowed to rust, tins dried and iron ware
rusted, nice knives used for cooking in the
kitchen, silver spoons used to scrape kettles,
or forks to toast bread.
Rlnsings of sweetmeats or skimmings OF
syrup, which make good vinegar are thrown
out.
Cream is allowed to mold and spoil, mus

The molasses jug loses the cork and the

Vinegar is drawn in basin and allowed
to stand until both vinegar and basin are
spoiled.

both sauce and sugar wasted. .s,u

in season, and become wormy.
The vinegar on pickles loses its strength

Potatoes In the cellar grow, and the
sprouts are not removed until they become

Pork spoils for the want of salt, and beef
because the brine wants scalding. 81

Dried beef becomes SO hard it cannot be

Lard is not well tried in the fall, and be.

Clothes are whipped in pieces in the wind

Carpets are swept with stubs hardly fit to

A RARE WIFE.-The following incident is
related in the iblack country, ''in connection
with the recent snow stoIm. AtMount Plea
SAINT, little village between Shihnsll and
Wellington, there lived an aged couple named
Shepherd, the husband being seventy-one
years fage, and the wife one year younger.
Shepherd is engaged as furnace tender at
the Old Park company's works, and on 5a-
turday night week he went on duty as usual,
his time being up at six on the following
morning. twill be remembered that during
the night Of Saturday week snow fell heavily.
accompanied by violent gusts of wind, the
snow forming deep drifts in exposed places.
The old woman, on wakening early on Sum
day morning, perceived this state of things,
and became anxious for the safety of her
husband, who would have to cross. two or
three fields on his way home. She got up,
lit the fire, and prepared everything for her
husbands breakfast, and when all this was
done, found that there was yet an hour be-
fore he would be home She thereupon lit
lantern, and, taking with her a shovel, set
to work, and cleared path through the
snow to the foundry, where her husband was
at work, distance of quarter of mile,
completing her task in time to enable the
old man ito walk home comfortably" as
she said. Canada paper Of the 1st tna.

SAD CASE OF HYDRoPHoBIA-A LITTLE
GIRL SMoTHERED TO END HER AGONY
We were informed last week of a sad
case of extreme suffering from this terrible
disease, and the smotherlng to death of the
victim, in order to save her from the most
horrible suffering, which she had endured
for some hours. The unfortunate sufferer
was little daughter of Mr.. Alfred Wood
ruff, of the town Of Greenfield. She was
bitten some time ago by dog, but no symp-
toms were at first shown that the terrible
malady was upon her. AT length the poison
which, acting as a sub-cutaneous injection,
permeRted every tissue of the system, broke
out in fever form, causing the most intense
suffering, which continued till after consul
tation was had by physicians, who decided
that, as the sufferer could not possibly sur
vive, every consideration of humanity de-
manded that her sufferings be ended by
some means,i in accordance with which, dur
ing severe paroxysm, the child was smoth-
cred to death.-BEonl tAe Detroit FFes Press

A WONDERFUL PRNTINe PREss.-There
has just been completed and put in running
order at the Government Printing Office,
Washington, one Of the most wonderful
pieces of mechanism in the shape of print
ing press that has ever been exhibited. The
press is OF the Bullock patent, and, as an
exhibition Of some of its powers, we viii
mention: The press will print in one hour
10000 sheets of "a pages of document mat
ter; while doing this it feeds itself, the paper
being in rolls, vets the paper, cuts the
sheets, folds them, and by dial connected
to the press keeps tally OF the number o
sheets printed. Only two men are required
to have entire control Of the press, thus
doing away with the necessity of persons tC
supply it with sheets, Cor as they are called
feeders.) The invention is certainly a won
derful one, and has been visited by a
large number of persons, who could no
realize the power and utility of the machine
