AS Mr.. Frank Hancock was repairing
his water works few days ago, there was
a lead pipe laid from one spring to the
other and the water was running sparing-
ly. Being thirsty he put his mouth to
the end of the pipe to drink, and as he
was drinking he felt something come into
his mouth besides water; he spit it out
and it proved to be an adder about three
inches long.

Frightful Passion.

From the Philadelphia Leder.
A notable example of the evil re.
suits of giving way to passion was
witnessed at the Court of Quarter
Sessions on Tuesday. A married
woman, the wife of an industrious
mechanic, the mother of two infant
chilhren, was sentenced to two years
imprisonment, for an attempt to
revenge . fancied injury to her hus-
band, by burning out the eyes OF
another man with vitriol. 1t was a
terrible example of the evils of
ungovernable passion; a marked
instance Of the mischief done by
listening to idle rumor and gossip,
for the man who was supposed to
have done the injury was innocent
and a most distressing case in every
particular, for the husband of the
unfortunate woman was with her
vainly trying TO comfort her in her
fearful atfliction, and she with her
little children olinging to her knees,
as the Two years doom of imprison.
ment was pronounced by the Judge
We make particular note Of all this
whilst we arc aware that it is almost
frnitloss to talk to many Of those
who give way to passion, there are
some upon whom such severe ex
ample must have its effects. Pas
sion and strong drink populate oul
prisons. In this case it was nothing
but passion and a blind desire fol
revenge.

An Exciting Scene.

On last Thursday evening q man
whose name we did not learn, and
two sons of Mr.. Fargo, who resides
at the Lakes in Clay county, went
out on the lake in the canoe to have
swim by the aid Of the boat. The
man could not swim nor could the
youngest Fargo boy, about nine years
old. The oldest boy, about 13 years
old, could. Thus the three proceeded
to put their swimming idoas into
execution. Things went smoothly
until through little excitement the
small boat was overturned. This
event occasioned a cry for help
There was no one around the house
or near only Mrs. Fargo and her
little daughter, about eleven years
old. This little girl with spirit OF
heroism equal to Ida Lewis, rushed
to the bank of tho Lake and jumped
into another .canoe and padded out
to where the three persons were
struggling in tho water. She would
have brought all three safe to shore
had they remained cool, but IN
their anxiety to grasp something
with motive power on board,
thev capsized her little craft and
her into the water. Luckily
iii 10 heroine che could swim.
t..js Stage of the game, she with
eooineas and courage seldom equa!led
or surpassed by men, called out to
her little brother to hold on to her,
and for the other two to hold on to
their boat. She thus secured her lit
tie brother and swan ashore with
him holding on to her boat. Her
eldest brother saved tho man in the
same way. Thus the entire party
were saved through the GOODNESS
and courage of a little girl only eley-
