DEAD-HEADS TREE.

A couple of lads in Portage City, Wis,
climbed tree outside the tent to get a
''dead-head" view of Forepaugh's circus
What came of il the Register tells: Gas
soon as the elephant was through with the
ring, the manager brought him out and
hitched him to the identical tree, from the
limbs of which the lads were viewing the
circus To the boys up in tree, this
thing looked little out of order; but they
kept as quiet as death, fearing that they
would either lose the closing views of the
performance or be the subjects of dis
pleasure of the circus man if he should
discover them dead-heading' the show.
Ia due time the performance closed, the
crowd dispersed, and, horrors of horrors
the keepers of the animals now added to
the perils Of the situation by hitching two
smaller elephants and camel to the tree
Our lads now discovered that they were
there for the night, as all hands had left,
excepting only themselves and the ami
mails on guard below. Al hope CT es-
cape was cut off About this time Ro-
meo concluded TO investigate matters
above him, and, with his trunk, COM
menced trimming out the smaller branches
Our boys commenced climbing also, until
they had got above his reach; and now
the giraffe took up the investigation, and,
poling his ugly mug among the limbs, he
drove the boys 10 the uppermost branches
of the tree, where they were discovered
at daybreak by their anxious parents, who
had been searching for them in vain all
night, lettering and tossed about like
blackbirds on the top of rice stalk on a
windy day. The boys saw more of the
animals than all the rest of the boys in
town, and for nothin, too

CARRYING A RIFLE BALL IN
ONES Head FOR FIVE YEARS.
From the bangor Me- Wing.

sumner n. Bolton, of the eleventh
Maine infantry, at the battle of Bermuda
Hundreds, was hit by a ball over the right
eyebrow, which penetrated TO the orbit
and destroyed the sight. The wound was
probed, but no ball could be found, so it
was allowed TO heal up. Ever afterward
Bolton was afflicted with excrucisting
pains in one half of his head and diZZi-
ness, which no medicine could relieve.
He finally consulted DR.. Sanger, who was
of the opinion that the bone in the back
part of the orbit was injured and should
he removed, or the ball was still lodged
there, pressing upon the nerves and ir1i-
Eating the brain. A day or two since the
doctor, assisted by Dr. Jewell, cut down
and removed an ounce ball. with a small
portion of the bone attached. The ball
was flattened like an old-fashiOned cent,
and had been corrOding in his head fol-
five years. Relief was immediate.

SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND.
The New York Evening Mail saws:

Miss Emma Ames, one of the Fifth
Avenue dramatic company, who was
burned few evenings since by her dress
taking fire on the stage, is in fair way of
recovery. Her great presence of mind
saved her life. When she found herself
enyeloped in a sheet of fire, instead of
screaming, rs most people would, she
instantly put her hand over her mouth to
prevent inhalation of the flames Her
first thought was 10 run behind the scene
and down stairs The carpenter seeing
her before she reached the steps, and
fearing greater calamity, tripped her,
and as she fell he threw his coat over her
and smOthered the flames and saved the
young lady's life, her expression of graft
tude for which seems to I'LL her mind,
Notwithstanding her sufferings. For
tunately her face and hands escaped burn
ing. Both arms are badly burned, one
very bad, and the back of the neck,
especially where the wings of Hymen, the
character she was enacting, were wired to
the body. Owing to being dressed with
extra clothing on that night TO prevent
her taking cold, the lower part of her
body and limbs were not burned at all.

gave them the same cultivation and the same soil
that gave my black oats and the result has been
that the "Ramsdell Norways" yielded more than
double my black oats. The stalks are very large
and strong, and the heads yield more than double
the number of kernels of the ordinary varieties.
1 am of the opinion these cats are well adapted to
the soil and climate Of the Sonth generally and
on their richest soil if they choose the stalks are
sufficiently strong to prevent lodging. l hope the

Parties are again advertising and attempting TO
deceive the farmers. One party has already for
warded several thousald bushels OF Canada
cats to the West, where he is selling them as
ourseed. We cautioned farmers last year e Inst
these frauds. But. because they could buy at q
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest they purchased elsewhere; and now,
when they have learned by the result that they
were deceived, they are writing to us to punish
the swindlers. To all such we beg to say that We
have enough to do to attend to our own busI-
ness Ne renew our caution, and give notice
that hereafter we shall sell oar seed under the
name CftheRAMSDELLN NORWAY OATS The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee
sale of every bushel in the country at our estab-
lished price: and farmers who bought seed from
US are asking from 81 SO to 3d. atd one evidence
of seed being spurious is the fact of its being
offered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man is likely to go to the trouble
and expense of ADVERT sing and selling this seed
at less price than he knows he would pay for
it, if genuine. There is not seed enough tC sup
ply the State of California alone, while others
are coming in from every state and Territory
and many paris of Europe. There are upward
of fve millions of farmers in the United States

sensations to buy last year. thousands are salts

sorry to say it, who raised twenty-five bushels,
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success Of this grain the past
season has created will sweep of the entire

advantage for bogus operators; and we are COM
pelled in justice 10 ourselves as we'll as for the
protection of the public, TO publ sh the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer is to
