The crop is IS good IS at same tine last

A Singular Affair.

About six weeks ago young lady named
Robinson, residing at No. 112 Jefferson
street, this city, whilst engaged in baking,
fell over, and since that time has been una
BILE to speak, move, hear or recognize any
one. Up to that time she had enjoyed the
best Of health. A number of physicians
have attended her but they have been un-
able to afford her any relief. In fact they
are at a loss to know what to do, as they
have never met with q similar case before.
1t is one of the most singular affairs we
have ever heard of, and is well worthy the
attention of the most scientific medical
men.-Reading Times. .I.rrr~ .s

suicide-A Mysterious Case.

On Sunday week, young woman hung
herself at the Union Depot Hotel in Pitts
burg. Facts SO far as elected tend to show
chat she had been wronged, and in order to
hide her shame had committed suicide.
She had evidently been in good circum-
stances, for the jewelry in her possession,
together with what she had pawned, was
worth over 81, 900, which shows it was not
actual necessity that led to the act. She
refused to give any other information to
the pawnbroker OF any one else, except
that her name was Clark, and that she was
from Huntingdon. There is no name or
initials on the jewelry to give any clue as
to whether or not she has given her right
name, and it is generally believed that the
name she has given is fictitious.-P Pittsburg

A Sh0amaker,s Luck.

The Titusville Herald tells this story of
a shoemaker's luck "About twenty-five
years ago, Mr.. Robinson, the present owner
of the famous Robinson farm, near Parker's
Landing, which has yielded thousands of
barrels of oil and dollars to its owner, sold
100 acres of the farm to shoemaker nam
ed Grant, residing in the vicinity, for 800,
to be paid in boots and shoes for his Rob
inson's) family. Within the last two years
this tract has proved the most valuable oil
territory, and Grant, as well as Robinson,
has not only been made wealthy from its
oil, but still receives handsome revenue
from the same. A few weeks ago, Mr..
Robinson received the last pair of boots on
his contract, the 800 worth of leather hav-
ing just been used up.

Crushed to a Jelly.

A dreadful accident, resulting in the in
slant death of woman, occurred on the
Philadelphia and Trenton railroad, last
week, at Tacony Station. AS the 3.15
p. M. train from Philadelphia for New
York came laundering around the curve
between Wissanoming creek and lower
Tacony Station, at the rate of thirty miles
an hour, the engineer discovered a woman
walking leisurely along the track.
AS she faced the locomotive he at first
only sounded the usual signal Of danger, but
finding that she did not heed it, he whistled
down brakes, but before the train could be
checked the cow-catcher struck the female,
and instead of throwing her from the track
it cast her underneath the wheels. TO-.
The engine and five passenger cars
passed over the head and body, mangling
her in most siokening manner. Every
principal bone in her body was broken, and
the entire back portion Of her head was
cut off. Her heart was torn out and dash
ed fully six feet from the body.
The shapeless remains were gathered up
and placed in wash tub, where they re-
mained until next day, when they were
sent to the Morgue for identification. AL
derman Day, of Holmesburg, viewed the
body and adjourned the inquest until
morning.
The deceased was apparently IN her roth
year. She was neatly clad and was a
stranger in the neighborhood where she
met her death. A few minutes before the
accident she stopped by the roadside and
inquired the road to Frankford, remarking
that she had gone in the wrong direction
and would have quite a walk before she
would reach home.

NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A.

CB- The total number of physicians who
paid taxes to the Government for the year
ending April 80, 1871, was 40, 79s. Of these
there were regular or allopathic, 39,07O |;
homeopathic, 2,971 hydropathic 1873, eclec-
tic, 2,seO; miscellaneous, or not classified,
4,77O. These figures show that the number
engaged in the profession has been over
estimated. The usual guess at the lumber
of homeopaths has been 10000. 1t is be-
lieved that the Government list is very full
and accurate, as it is not easy for a doctor
to keep out of the way of the assessor.

Singular Rail Road Accident.

The West bound freight train, on the
Hannibal and St. Joe railroad, was thrown
from the track three miles west of Palmy-
ra junction at 8 o'clock on the morning of
the end inst, smashing seven cars and
tearing up the track for 300 feet. The ac-
cident was caused by seven long bridge
timbers falling off while the train was in
rapid motion. The forward end falling off
first, stuck in the ground, which had the
effect to send the cars spinning ir every
direction, piling them up in frightful
manner. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Curious Enects from EIectrIcIty.

The Saugerties (N. y Telegraph says
that few nights since Jacob Mower and
wife retired, leaving two windows in the
bedroom, nearly opposite each other open.
About twelve o'clock Mower was awakened
by his wife, who informed him that she was
suffocating. She at once commenced vom-
iting, and each discharge left strong sui
phury taste in her mouth. 1t was raining
quite hard at the time, and the room SEEM
cd ablaze from the sharp and repeated
flashes of lightning. 1t is thought cur
rent of electricity passed through the room
with the above effect upon Mrs. Mower,
but without injury to Mr.. Mower or any
part of the room. She has not yet entire
ly recovered.

CAPTURE Of a Monster Drum Fish.

Some New Workers went out on fishing
expedition, recently, to Boston Point, to
catch weak fish. They caught one strong
enough to pull the boat containing three
men and boy, around Newark Bay, for a
space of fifteen minutes. The monster of
the deep proved to be a huge drum fish
weighing fifty-eight and half pounds,
measuring about four feet in length and two
feet across the centre of its drum-like
body. Its head was about twice the size Of
a mans head, and it's mouth was big enough
to admit Scotch terrier. The scales of
the fish were of the size and thickness of a
small sized clam-shell. The fish was cut up
and distributed among twenty persons in
pieces large enough to make a good sized
meal for a family. The decapitated head
is displayed to the wondering gaze Of fish
ermen on the piles at Bergen Point landing
