Since the above was in type, we learn the
lady's name was Miss Julia Straw, and the
cause of the accident was the inability Of
the driver to control the horses which were
very spirited and were frightened by the

was to have been married that Thursday
evening to a Mr.. Eby of Lykens, who was
on his way from Harrisburg and was expec-

parrot in 1856, whose residence in Wales
was authenticated for seventy-seven
years. The bird, more wonderful for
variety of speech than for her age, learn
ing everything and forgetting nothing,
accomplished alike in the Welsh tongue

more than three-quarters OF century
in Europe, and dying in America, might

never known day of sickness, showed

Among fishes, the carp is notorious
for the remarkable tenacity with which

From remote antiquity the pike has
been considered long liver. Pliny in
ancient times, Pennant and Gesner in

longevity of this fish. In 1897 pike

247 years old.
The great longevity of the tortoise is,
perhaps, best established of all. One in

The false. the strange. the true.
What tales of horror they have told.
OF tempest and OF wreck
OF murder in the midnight hour.
OF war full many speck I"
OF ships that lost away at sea
Went down before the blast,
OF stifled cries OF agony
As life's last moments passed.
OF earthquakes and of suicides.
OF bank defaulters, broken banks,
And banking systems rotten.
OF boilers bursting, steamboats, snaggin,
OF riots. duels fought;
OF robbers with their prey escaped
OF thieves, their booty caught.
OF flood. and FIRE. and accident,
Those WORKOUT types have told.
And how the pestilence has swept
The youthful and the old
OF marriages. of births. and deaths.
OF things TO please or vex us;
OF one mans Jumping overheard,
Another gone to Texas.
They've told US how sweet summer days
Have faded from our view.
How autumn's chilling winds nave swept
The leaf-crowned forest through;
How winters snow hath come and goke-.
Dark reign of storm and strife
And how the smiling spring hath warmed
The pale flowers back 10 life.

How unto some they JOY have brought.
To others grief and tears,

Gently adopted a device for personal
ornamentation which is rather more
grotesque than anything that has been
achieved in this country. They use for
breast-pins and ear pendants nothing
less novel than live lightning bugs, and
so general has the fashion become that
the Indians find it a profitable business
to capture these insects. For this pur.
pose they use long stick lighted at one
end. The bug mistakes this for a rival
and flies at it with great fury, when he
is captured by the hunter. They are
purchased by the wearers for about %
cents "a dozen, after which they are put
in cages, fed on sugar-cane aDd bathed

and worn as jewels, when they sparkle
