An alarming yet ludicrous mishap oc-
cured at Hoboken, through the breaking
down OF the bridge connecting the baths
off Fourth street with the shore by which
nearly two hundred persons were percip
itated into the North river.
The bridge which was about two
hundred and fifty feet long and Slightly
constructed, having been built simply rs
a passage way to the baths, was last
evening crowded by more than one thou
sand men, women and children, who Were
present to witness tub race between
two men named Worden and Henry
Just before the time appointed for the
start p loud creaking was heard and that
part of the bridge next to the shore gave
away beneath the immense weight pre-
cipitating about one hundred of the spec
tators into the water and mud below
Communication with the land having been
cut off, the excited crowd upon the bridge
made rush towards the baths, and in Il
few moments the frail structure gave
away in another place, and another batch
of sight seers numbering eighty, were
tumbled into the water
All reached the shore in safety, and
when the danger was over and the ex-
element less the involuntary bathers be-
gan to laugh at the woeful spectacle they
presented. Men and women alike ere
soaked from head to foot and their gar
ments bore abundant evidences of the
quality of the river mud in which they
had been wading. The only persons
seriously injured by the mishap were

former cutting his foot badly by walking

Died Yesterday.

Every day is written this little sentence
Died yesterday; everyday a flower is
plucked from some happy home; a breach
is made in some happy circle; a jewel
stolen from some treasure of love. Each
day, from the sunny fields of life, some
harvest disappears-yes, every hour some
sentinel falls from his post and is thrown
from the ramparts of time into the surg
ing waters of eternity. Even as we write
the funeral of one who "dicd yesterday
winds like the winter shadow along the
street.
died Yesterday" Who died? Per
haps it was gentle babe, snless as an
| angel, pure as zephyrs hymn-one whose
| laugh was a rush of summer rills lettering
| in the bower of roses-whose life was 3
perpetual litany-a many-time crowned
| with the passion Of flowers that never fade
| Or, mayhap, it was Il youth hopeful and
| generous, whose path was filled witt
flowers, with no serpent lurking under
neath-one whose soul painted for com
munion with the great and good, ant

Died yesterday" A young girl, purt
as the orange flowers that clasped hel

at the altar; and from the dim aisles o
the temple she was borne to the garden o

An aged patriarch, bowed with age and

the distant hills for the coming of the
angel host, sank into dreamless slumber

and children are passing away, and hour

EXTRAORDINARY FLIGHT OF BUTTER
FLIES. On Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, but especially on the latter day, and
more particularly in the afternoon, Hart
ford (and for aught we know, the sur
rounding country also) was favored with
an extraordinary flight Of large and splen-
ded butterflies. They came in endless sue
cession, flying at all heights, from three
feet to five hundred feet in the air They
were nearly four inches in length, from
tip to tip of their outspread wings, and OF
rich cinnamon color, deeply veined with
black bars and lines in various patterns
and broad dark border, prettily marked
by triple row of white spots, as finely
and evenly placed as the most fastidous
critic could wish. On thy came, in an
endless succession air at times SEEM
ed almost full of them. Those nearer the
ground would fly back and forth, but the
highest ones kept a uniform course to-
wards the southwest, like birds in the air.
The question is where did they come from ?
and what has started them all in BODY
at this time? There were millions of
them. Hartford Times
