THE CARDIFF GIANT OETD ONE

The Oil City Times of Friday is respon-
sible for the following:
On Tuesday morning last, while Mr..
William Thompson, assisted by Robert R.
Smith. was engaged in making an excaya-
half a mile north Of West Hickory, pre-
paratory to erecting derrick, they exhu.
med an enormous helmet of iron, which
Was corroded with rust. Further digging
brought to light sword, which measured
nine feet in length. Curiosity melted them
to enlarge the hole, and after some little
time they discovered the bones of two enor-
nous feet. Following up the "lead"
they had so unexpectedly struck, in a few
hours time they had unearthed a well
preserved skeleton ofan enormous giant, be-
longing to species Of the human family
which probably inhabited this and other
parts of the world at that time of which the
Bible speaks, when it says, "And there
were giants in those days" The helmet is
said to be of the shape of those found
among the ruins of Ninevah. The bones
OF the skeleton are remarkably white. The
teeth are all in their places, and all Of them
are double, and OF extraordinary size
These relics have been taken to Tlouesta
where they are visited by large mum
bers Of people daily. When his giantshir
was in the flesh, he must have stood eigh,
teen feet in his stockings. These remains
wate found about twelve feet below the
surface of the mound which had beer
thrown up probably centuries ago, ant
which was not more thau three feet above
the level of the ground around it. Her,
is another nut for antiquarians to crack.

FEAR FUL LEAP.

Intelligence has been received of sim
gulai and terrible case OF suicide that oc-
Cured at Suspension bridge yesterday.
The name of the person who committed
self-murder, was James Pierce, a man we'll
known to many of'the residents of this city
and elsewhere as having kept the Whirl>
pool House, below the bridge, for some
time past. 1t seems that Pierce came over
to this side Of the river with some friends
early yesterday morning, and after having
spent the forenoon in walking about the
city, he signifed his intention of going
back shortly after II o'clock. He left his
companions at the end of the bridge, and
started to cross; but when near the middle
OF the structure he was seen climbing the
railing, and before the observers could sur
mise what he was about, he had leaped in
to the roaring waters beneath. His friends
fastened to the bank of the river. only to
see bis lifeless body carried on toward the
whirlpool by the rapid current.
AS 10 the cause of this fearful crime.
nothing is known beyond mere conjecture.
1t is presumed that he was laboring under
temporary alteration OF mind lie having
several days since failed in making certain
payments on piece Of land which he had
recently purchased in Canada.--Buf;tlo

THE HUSBAND OUTWITTED.

the piazza. She had sailed with him along
the shore on the moonlight evenings, and
she had danced with him in the thronged
drawing rooms.
Miss Ellsworth was not firt, who dis
tribnted her ideals among many gentlemen,
and she had found her ideal we'll nigh re-
allied in MI MAXWELL. Only the evening
before their talk had withdrawn itself from
the general topics to which each had been
congeniel. and in her admiration of his in
teligence and manliness, she had encour-
aged an approach to that personal sort of
conversation which relates to love and mat
rimony.
And now to find Mr. MAXWELL this NOR
ming, with his coat off and smiths apron
on, engaged in mending a lock. He was
doing it publicly. The lock was on the
door that led to the middle of the front
piazza, where the fashionable dressed ladies
and gentlemen were sitting or pronena.

DO you like that sort of work? p she
asked
4 do, Miss Ellsworth I believe am
a natural mechanic
Itappoars very odd to see you doing
this p
1T is my trade he replied, rising from
his work, and turning toward her.
Her cheek blauched little, Your trade !!
she said family,
Yes, trade, Miss Ellsworth. The pro-
prietor SAID the lock needed mending, and
told him that | could mend it for him.
a party of girls came along just then
After wandering at Mr.. MAXWELL while
and laughing at him they proposed i
ride.
There we're three carriages for them all
These would take the party.
Ned Whitaker here joined them.
what the duce are you about here
he exclaimed to Mr.. MAXWELL. 'Ah, n,
added, when the latter turned and glancet
at him. But while you are here you nigh
as well enjoy YOURSELF
Mr. MAXWELL excused himself from
joining the party, and they all went away
leaving him to finish his. work
Miss Ellsworth left him without wor,
at parting.
1T is well,' he mnttered to himself. Il
