damp, and smoothly and securely clinched,
thus holding the soles and uppers together SO
tight that they can never rip or give way.
They have all the smoothness and elasticity of
the sewed boot, and none Of the disadvan-

them at price but trife more than that of

of DR.. VIM. Hewitt and Councilman
Cummins to the city hospital they found
a raving maniac occupying one of the
iron cages constructed for such unfortu-

insanity has become of a chronic nature.
The demented patient, they say, is not a
fit subject for an hospital devoted to the
treatment of acute diseases. She is a
German woman of powerful frame and
great capacity to do mischief Her mad
garrulity is source of annoyance to
other patients, and she should be re-
moved to an institution adapted to her
condition. The Council, we believe,
adopted the suggestion of these gentle
men.

not fail to be successful, especially with

SAW MILL EXPLosIoN-ONE MAN
KILLED.-Thursday of last week a
frightful casualty occurred on the farm
| of Col. Charles Z. Sangster, about one
mile from Jacobsport. A Portable
Saw-Mill, belonging to Messrs. Loose
and Poland, had been located on this
farm two orfbree months, and its pro-
prietcrs were just finishing up pre-
paratory to removal, when, by some
oversight of the engineer the supply
of water IN the boiler was somewhat
reduced, as is supposed, and the boiler
OF the mill exploded, blowing it into
fragments which were scattered in
l'every direction. some pieces afighting
zoo or300 yards distant. Mr.. George
Smith, a man about thirty ears of age
| was struck by fragments of iron, sew
ering one leg from the body, and
otherwise bruising and cutting him
so severely that death ensued in about
/ half all hour after the accident. Smith
was acting as of-bearer in the mill.
The engineer had stepped back at the
| time, p few yards alter wrench,
which saved his lite. Levi Fansiekle
and Jacob Sternberger received slight
! flesh wounds, one in the leg and, The
otherin the side, but nothing serious.
! Col. Sangster, who was a short dis
tance of. and walking towards the
Mill. had narrow escape. A piece
OF the boiler 20 feet in length by three
or four feet in width alighted near his
| feet. which if he had been only one
| step in advance must have struck him.
