A new road to fame has been entered
by a gentleman of Florence. Casting
about to see how he could attain dis
tinction, he could think of no better
way than thai Of swallowing fork. He
therefore took plated utensil OF this
sort, introduced it carefully into his
gullet, prong5 downward, and quietly
let it drop. After this he went to the
hospital, where he is fed and lodged at
the public cost. He is interviewed
daily by doctors and other saUanS, and
bulletins regularly appear, describing
his condition. The odd fact of the
business is, that the fork does not seem
to give the Nan the slightest uneasi-
ness. He cats, drinks, smoke, walks
abroad and enjoys himself in the most
unconcerned manner, and it is even
limited that he thinks of swallowing n
knife by way of providing companion
for the fork. Few would wish to add
to the risks of SO remarkable dejeuler
a u .foprchete, but Signor Capriana, for
such is his name, is so charmed with
his rising fame as to desire to enhance
it. However, he is SO far only at the
beginning Of his troubles, and if the
doctors have to cut open his stomach to
get out the fork-which it is said they
must do in the end-even the intoXl
eating repute he has thus gloriously ac-
quired, will hardly induce him to repeat
his experiment

Mysterious Murder Confession.

The Erie Dispatch states that one John
O'Copnor, recently hung in Buffalo for
a murder perpetrated there, confessed
to another murder. O'Connor was for a
number of years resident of Erie
county. He used to travel with the
circuses, but latterly was employed as a
farm laborer. He was married and lived
in West Girard. O'Connor had an al
most constant companion, for the past
year, named Pierce, who was also mar
ried, and lived on the Ridge road east
of Grard. O'Connor and Pierce were
both feared by their neighbors. Last
fall Pierce's wife died, and then there
was a circumstance that excited the
suspicious Of many. She appeared 10
be in great mental distress, and when
she knew death was approaching. said
she could not die without relieving her
mind of terrible thing. Pierce stood
over her and prevented her from telling
what it was, and SO she died with the
secret unrevealed.
After her burial Pierce went away
and has not been seen about there since.
John OConnor's confession revealed the
secret, though it did not reveal the vic
tim. He said that Pierce and himself
had murdered stranger between Fair
view and Girard, and disposed of the
body No one knew who he was and
there never was any inquiry after him;
but Pierce's wife had learned of the
facts, and wanted to reveal them. Pierce
has not been heard of since his wife's
death, but it is rumored that he went to
Canada

Country Life.

People who live altogether in the
country have very little appreciation of
its advantages and pleasures. Why
should they think anything of fresh
air? 1t is too common. They have it
all the time. Everybody around them
has it all the time. And as a general
thing, people estimate very lightly
blessings of which they have never been
deprived. 1t is only persons who are
confined a portion of the time in the
city, who are really capable of full APP
probation of country life Farmers,
who work the land for a living, soon
come to regard all its products with a
single eye to profit. There is something
very narrowing in this influence. 1t
closes the view to beauty, and the soul
against all the poetical and ennobling
sentiments which proper contempla-
ton of nature is calculated to awaken.
The tendency with farmers is to become
too exclusively mere matter, ot-fact ma
chimes. The sunshine, the clouds, the
trees, the refreshing showers, the beau,
full wild howers-they see nothing in all
these except SO far as they may affect
their potatoes and turnips and corn.
We believe that one principal reason of
the higher taste for rural life in Eng
land, is to be found in the fact that city
people live so much more in the coun.
try. The great increase of the facilities
for travel has cultivated a taste for
country life.

New Source of Iodine.

Thus far most of the iodine of com
merce has been obtained from the
iodide of sodium, contained in the
ashes of sea-weeds, but as the demand
for this substance, SO necessary for the
modern physician, the photographed,
the chemist, the manufacturer of paint
and dyes, ETC., has lately so enormously
increased, other sources of supply have
been sought. Among them is the Chill
saltpetre, mineral nitrate of soda, used
for gunpowder, after having been trans
formed into saltpetre, or nitrate of
potassa. 1t is also used in different
fertilizers. The nitrate of soda contains
lodide of sodium, which remains behind
in the mother liquor which is left after
the manufacture of saltpetre. Thier-
celin has found that when this liquor is
treated with a mixture of sulphurous
acid and sulphite of soda the iodine is
precipitated as a black powder. 1t is
then dried, and is either sold in this
impure, crude state, or further purified
by sublimation. The amount of iodine
thus reclaimed from Chill saltpetre al
ready amounts to more than 10000
pounds per year.

A Courageous Boy,

The Swiss Times tells story of a
shepherd lad, IA years of age, in the
Canton Grisons. On the Monte di
Campo the youthful shepherd fed his
flock when huge bear made his appear
ance and unceremoniously began to feed
himself on the same flock. When he
had seized one Of the finest sheep the
courageous boy began to beat him about
the head with stick, in order to drive
him away. The Infatuated beast turned
upon his tender assailant, determined
to finish his mutton on him. The
youth turned and ran, and remem-
bering that there was not far
off a gorge nearly 200 feet deep,
but so narrow that he might clear
it by vigorous leap, started for it, with
bruin close at his heels. He reached
the edge of the ravine, and, by a very
desperate bound, landed safely on the
other side, while the stupid brute be-
hind him, not noticing his danger,
stumbled headlong to the bottom. The
boy, descending the gorge. found his
enemy disabled by the bruises, and soon
dispatched him by beating out his brains
with stones.

Vermont Gold.

A short time since a great ado was
made over the alleged discovery of gold
in Vermont, and sober and eminently
respectable State was likely to get into
notoriety forthwith. But the strange
season Of quiet which followed the first
spasm of excitement, unfortunately
gave birth to suspicious, of which the
explanation is now public. 1t appears
that in the interval, DR.. Cutting, the
State geologist, has been investigating !;
and it further appears that the investi-
CATION is not just as agreeable as might
be. Almost every week for long time
has brought him parcels of worthless
sand, containing yellow pyrites, sup
posed by the deluded senders to be
precious gold. DR. Cutting wishes it
distinctly understood that there are no
metallic ores in Vermont which are
worth working. For that the rocks of
the State are too old and compact, or
too nearly connected with the glacial
drift. The yields of marble and slate,
however, are very good, and with these
slow but sure products it seems advisa-
BILE to rest atisfed.-New Haven Register.

Remains of a MastOdOn Found In Orange
County. n, Y,

A few days since as farmer in the
town of Mount Hope, Orange county, n.
Y, was digging in a swamp on his
premises, he exhumed from the muck,
about eight feet below the surface, a
formation of which it is Judged they are
those of mastodon. There are two
ribs, nearly five feet long, and two ver-
tebran six inches wide. What would
give strength to the supposition that
the bones are portion of the skeleton
of one of those old time monsters, in
the absence of other proof, is the fact
that several discoveries of mastodon re
mains have been made in this county
during the past thirty or forty years.
In lS4l an entire skeleton was exhumed
IN the vicinity of Scotchtown in mari
pit. Its tusks were over five feet in
length, and with the head bones
weighed nearly 900 pounds. 1t was
found near the surface, lying at an
angle Of about forty-five degrees, head
uppermost. Previous to this, portions
of over twenty skeletons of mastodons
had been found in the Waikiki Valley.
One of these was the monster that for
years was the wonder of visitors at
Peale's Museum, in New York city.
There is in Boston museum the COM
plete skeleton of mastoden which was
exhumed near Newburg only few
years ago. One was found in swamp
in Sussex county, N. j., fifteen years
ago; a farmer taking an exposed part
OF it to be a stump, hooked his oxen to
it and broke off the tusks, which led to
its discovery. Besides the skeletons
found in this valley several have been
discovered in Warren county. Attempts
will be made to discover the other por-
tons of the exhumed skeleton in Mount
Hope.

Two enterprising Americans are at

contracted by her husband.
DURING the Dukes stay in Memphis
he invested little more than 500 in

An Embezzler who Cannot be Punished.

There is a law which provides that a
witness examined before committee of
Congress shall not be proceeded against
in the courts touching any matter upon
which he gave evidence. Under the
operation OF this law, Seth Johnson,
whose embezzlement of about $4,000
was recently discovered in the Treas
urers office, was on Thursday discharged
from custody, and the crime to which,
few days previous, he was ready to
plead guilty, must go unpublished. 1t
seems that Mr.. Lynch's committee,
which is making an investigation into
the expenditures of the Treasury, not
having in mind the effect. and perhaps
not the existence Of the law, were in.
duced to summon Johnson, who gave
full testimony concerning his opera
tons, and then pleaded the statute and
escaped. The law was imperative, and
the committees action saved him from
the penitentiary.

Divorce Made Easy.

Alabama is the last State that has in
vited the immigration of the uncon.
genislly mated The invitation is in
the form of decision by the Supreme
Court. which says, in substance, that
they can be relieved from uncongenial
matrimonial partners with great facility
In other words, the court holds that if
it shall appear that the husband does
not love his wife, and does not
" delight in her as in himself" a decree
OF divorce should be granted. Ala
bama husbands will therefore take heed,
and proceed forthwith to delight in
their wives as in themselves. No doubt
the court will explain how they are to
do this. 1t does explain in another
part of the decision what they are not
to do; they are not to be habitually
cold or indifferent" under penalty of
decree er vinculo. They are to see to it,
too, that that their wives are not found
in tears, as the court will jump from

that they are lin peril of body or

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
