| shape of a girl, four years old, having a
| moustache and whiskers, the hair upon
| the forehead reaching to the eyebrows,
and avery heavy head of hair, exceedingly
black, extending below the shoulders The
chlld is quite sprightly, with fully devel-
oped limbs and a well-formed body. The
arms, shoulders and back, if not the whole
| oooy, are covered with soft downy hair.
. A MOST remarkable death occurred at
| Rome, Ga, few days ago. A negro was
| working beneath a bank of dirt, the dirt
| broke OIL, fell on him, and crushed him.
His heart was shot out from his body, and
| thrown to distance of sIxty-two feet (by
measure) from him. His lungs and liver
were scattered between him and his heart
and his body was completely crushed by
the dirt When the 4 was thrown of,
it was found that he as broken all to
pieces. a.s os gss2 8Tes sa5 a@

IN Florida there are many lakes which
have holes in the bottom and underground
communication, SO that they win some
times shrink away to mere cupful, leav-
ing many square miles of surface uncov-
cred, and then again fill up from below
and spread out over their former area.
Some of them have outlets in the ocean,
far from the shore, throwing up perpet-
ual spring of fresh water. During long
exhaustive dry season, men have gone un-
derground in one of these subterranean
rivers, from lake to lake, a distance of
eight miles.

until late hour in the afternoon, and
when he went to the church the committee
to receive delegates and provide them
with stopping places had gone home.

they became fearful that they were not to
be provided for. The representative from
Mystic, however was man of expedi-
ents. He said, "Why not ring the church
bell?" The sharp clang of the bell
-pealed out over the city. The sexton was
aroused from bis twilight nap, rushed out
of his house, and down the street to the
church, and entered the bell-room with
frightened look, exclaimed: "What are
you doing? You will have every fireman
in the city here in less than five minutes,
if you do not stop" The Mystic man
was equal to the situation. He replied:
eve thought we would see if there was
any one alive in New Haven. We have
come here to the convention, and we
want some place to stay" Their want
was Immediately supplied.
