Terrible Fall Of a Lady from
A FOurth-Story Window.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Drake Mills fell from q
fourth-story window Of the Me-
tropolitan Hotel into the yard in
the rear Of Walker & Haggerty's
sample-rooms, breaking both legs
and one arm and fracturing her
skull, besides otherwise badly in
.juring herself. Sergeant Johnson,
with officers Arnold and Milstead,
were obliged to force open the
sample-room door in order to take
her out. DR.. Lincoln and Boyle
rendered surgical aid, but it is
feared she cannot recover. Be-
fore assistance was rendered she
laid where she fell nearly an hour.
This morning she is conscious, and
says the weather being so hot she
sat in the window for fresh air and
fell asleep. Hon. Fernando Wood
and lady the Cater Mrs. Mills
daughter) were tclegraphed for,
and arrived this morning. There
are but faint hopes Of the recovery
of the injured lady, we are sorry
to hear. She fell on a shed, which
broke her fall, otherwise she would
have been instantly killed.
Since The above was put in
type, the lady has died.

How O1D JoHS HARPER FLANK

How OLD JOHN HARPER FLANK
ED THE New YORK SpoRTs.-The
New York Sun says that when
old man Harper brought his stud
of horses North he had a white
jockey. The boy soon became
intimate with many patrons the
turf: and drank and smoked with
them. He was a general favorite.
As soon as the old man found out
that the sports and knowing ones
knew the boy, he telegraphed for
his colored jockey, John Sample,
who rode Longfellow at Lexing-
ton. When the bell rang for the
riders to mount the white boy
came out. Apparently not noti-
cing him, Uncle John told the dark.
ey to step on the scales. Finding he
weighed one pound too much, he
made him rRn round the track
and sweatsthe extra pound away.
The experiment was successful and
the darkey won the race. 1t is
siad that while the white boy is
richer by several hundred dollars,
some politicians are'of the opinion
that they threw some money
away carelessly. Fhey think IN
Gle John Harper is too smart Tor
the New York boys.

A Rain Of BOnes-A Strange
Phenomenon.

IF the statement of some of the
residents Of Louisiana arc to be
credited, Dame Nature has re-
Gently been playing strange pranks
in that part Of the country.
A writer TO the New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce., whose veracity
and good Standings 7ouched for
by the editor Of that paper, gives
the following particulars Of q
strange phenomenon that occurred
in Carroll Parish last month
He says that aheavy storm visi-
ted that Parish some days previous
to the date Of writing, the 21st,
and during the storm fish bones
fell to the ground by the million.
These bones seemed to come from
an exceedingly large black cloud
that was passing at the time. The
shower OF bones was attended by
q heavy fall Of rain.
The correspondent says that the
bones ratified on the roof of his
house like hail stones. This
strange phenomenon extendedover
a belt Of country ten milesin width
by many miles in length. Accom-
.panying the letter were seven Of
the bones, varying from one inch
to two inches and one-sixteenth
in length from seven sixteenths
Of an inch to twelve and q half
sixteenths ofan inch in breadth
from one inch to one inch and
nine sixteenths in length, and
from one and q half to three six
teenths Of an inch in thickness.
They are Of an irregular dia-
mond shape. One side of the
bone is nearly fiat, having on the
under side, which is worn smooth,
three small apertures, as if veins
or tendon had passed through
them. These specimens have
been shown to experienced coast
fishermen, and also to learned
ichthyologists, but they are not
able to ascertain to what partic-
ular kind Of fish the bones be-
longed.
They all agree, however, in the
opinion that they are veritable
fish bones.
Several theories have been ad-
vanced in explanation of this
strange phenomenon. It is gen.
orally conceded, however, that the
bones must have passed through
the air for hundreds, and perhaps
thousand of miles. The inhat-
itants Of the parish believe that
they were brought by a water
spout or a whlrlwind from the
Western coast ofMexico or Lower
California. across the continent,
as the wind was blowing at the
time violently from the South
east.
We have heard Of it's raining
cats and dogs, but fish bone show
ers are something altogether IN
prccedented.

TWO BOYS MURDER THEIR MOTHER.
One Of the most statrocious crimes
ever perpetrated in this country
was enacted at West Point on last
Sunday morning. A mother OF
seven children was murdered by
her two sons. aged twelve and
sixteen years, at their own home
at West Point, Iowa. The lady,
Mrs. Wahrer, had parted from her
husband, DR.. Wahrer some time
before, and on learning Of her
husbands absence from home took
this opportunity Of visiting her
children. Saturday afternoon she
expressed a desire to return to
her home, where she expressed
a desire to return to her home,
where she was working-at the
reform School-but the two boys
prevailed upon her to remain un-
til Sunday morning, promising to
take her home. She stayed, and
at 5. A. NJ. Sunday the two boys
murdered her, stabbing her in the
back, breast, and throat. After
killing her they dragged her body
to the barn and covered it with
hay. The youngest son then
started on horseback for Foro
Madison, to telegraph to his father,
who was to come home that one
of the children was very sick. he
then returned home. The two
boys reported in the afternoon of
the killing oftheir mother, stating
that it was done in selfdefence,
and gave themselves up. They
are now in safe keepiog.-Keokuh
