from the rock while reaching over to the
water. A little grandson was fishing in a
boat a few rods from the shore. and hear
ing her struggles, he rowed to the y zee as
soon as possible, tied rope arou i her
wrists, hauled her partly upon the rock,
made the rope fast to root, andran to the
house for his grandfather; but when Mr.
Dodge reached the place she was appar-
emily dead. and all efforts to restore AMI
nation were unavailing.

Some years ago, when The writer was q
reporter upon an Eastern paper, il deve-
loped upon him to write for the same edition
an account Of tho presentation OF gold
headed cane to the Rev. DIR. Nudge, the
clergyman of the place, and the description
Of patent hog-killing aud sausage machine
that had Just been put in operation at the
factory. Now, what made DR.. Nudge mad
was this: The iuconsdorate buccaneer who
mado up the forms got the two locals mixed
up in rrighlul manner, and when we went
TO press something like this was the appal-
ling result:
"Soyeral of tbs Rev, Dr.. Mudge's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after a brief
conversation the unsuspectng hog was
seized by tho hind legs and slid along Il
beam, until he reached a hot water tank.
His friends explained the object Of their
visit, and presented him with very hand
some gold headed butcher, who grabbed
him by the tail, swung him round, cut' his
threat from ear to ear, and in less than
minute the carcass was in the water.
Thereupon he came forward and said there
were times when the feelings oyerpowered
one, and for that reason he would not
attempt TO do more than thank those around
him for the manner in which SO huge an
animal was cut into so many fragments was
simply astonishing The doctor concluded
his remarks, when the machine seized him,
aud In less time than il takes to write it the
aszx. Was cnt into fragments and worked into
=ods sausage. The occasion will Iona
be remembered by the Doctors friends q
ono Of tho most delightful Of their lives.
The best pieces can be Obtained for fifteen
cents pound, and we are sure that those
who have sat so long under his ministry will
rejoice that he has been so handsomely
treated"
Mad! Well, about nine o'clock that
morning the office had been abandoned by
every man but the advertising clerk, and be
ascended TO the roof and robed himself in
boiler iron, so that he could watch the
venerable Clergyman tearing round down
there in the street with his congregation, all
wearing the panoply Of war and carrying
butcher knives aud things. The next day
we explained aud apologized, but the doctor
stopped his subscription and began to take
the rival paper.
