"DEAR FATHER, CONF HoME." =
Postmaster Billings, of Santa Clara, has
received the following letter. 1t tells its
own sad story:
TO the Postmaster of Santa Clara:
Will you be so kind as to inquire if
there is such man as George Ray in
your city or where he is if he has left
Santa Clara? He is about thirty-seven
years old, dark eyes and hair, not very
| tall, and is carpenter by trade. He is
my dear father, and we have not heard
word from him for more than two years
| Ma is left with FIVE children, and | am
| fourteen years old. Sometimes ma
| thinks he is dead but / dreamed the
other night that he came home to us,
| and it made me think SO much about
him that cannot help writing to you,
for | cannot give up all hopes. Oh
dear Mr.. Postmaster will you do this fa-
vor for poor. homeless girl ? and you
shall have many warm thanks. If you
can see him, or hear where he is, will
you be 50 good as to send him this let
ter2 Will you please answer? Yours,
truly"

you to come home, and then we will
work and take care of you. Oh, how

A USEFUL RAILROAD DEVICE. .-Ey-

felt the need of some better mode of an
nouncing the stations than the uncer-

twelve deep and eight wide, is fastened
up at the end of each car high enough
to be seen by every passenger in it. This
box, which is of woed corresponding
With the interior fittings of the car, is
furnished with long piece of muslin, in
width just the length of the interior Of
the box, and is mounted on two rollers

this muslin in plain legible letters, are

Shocking Death.
THE PERILs OF BALLoONING.

THE PERILs OF BALLooNING.
La Mountain an account of whose
frightful fall and death is given below
is said to have been brother of Jobr
La Mountain who formerly made sever
al assensions in this State.
Among the attractions at Ionia, Mich.
July 4, was balloon ascension by Pro-
La Mountain. The ascension was made
from the public square. When fully
half mile from the earth, and when
the whole structure looked no larger
than hogshead, the balloon slipped be-
tween the ropes and was instantly in
verted. The car and occupant dropped
like shot with the most terrific velocity,
the unfortunate man clinging to the
basket. That he was conscious was evil
dent from his struggles. With all the
intensity of life he sought to raise the
basket above him, evidently hoping to
use it as parachute. He succeeded in
his object, but when about 100 feet high
he loosed his hold, folded his hands and
arms before his face, and his feet first
struck the ground with a dull, heavy
thud. Then ensued panic and uproar
in the crowded multitude. Women faint
ed, strong men wept ana the canvas
came flying over the crowd like a huge
bird. Some one cried out to get from
its way, as it would fall with crushing
force. Then the cry was taken up, and
q general rush made for safety, in which
many we're more or less injured. La
Mountain was crushed into literal
pulp. A medical examination disclosed
the fact that hardly whole bone was
left. Many were splinteIed and ground
to powder. His jaws fell upon his arms
and were pulverized, and the blood
spurted from his mouth and ears. The
corpse was laid out and placed ON the
public square, where 1t was viewed by
thousands during the afternoon, end
was sent home to Brooklyn, Mich, the
following day.

Vermont Valley Railroad.

The controve y between the Vermont
Central and & nnecticut River railroads
naturally excites some interest and We
therefore copy below an article from the
Springfield Republican, just before the
meeting, called here June 9th. The
Republican is hostile TO the Vermont
Central and in the interest of the Con.
neeticut River road, but its statements
below are apparently fair statement Of
the controversy
"The interesting contest for the con.
troll of the Vermont Valley road, that
part of the Connecticut river line be.
tween Brattleboro and Bellows Falls,
approaches a crisis. 1t is now in the pos.
session of trustees of its bonded debt OF
half a million, and by them leased TO the
Rutland road, and by that to the Ner.
mont Central combination. The lease
has two years to run. But the debt,
which the trustees represent, has ma.
.ure and is paid, or the money is ready
to pay il. So the stockholders claim
that the road should come back to them,
and that th trustees had no right to
lease the roa beyond the maturity and
payment of debt-which seems rea
sonable and 8 nnd. Bot again, the pres
ent directors, nominally representing
the lease, and availing themselves o.
the authority o Ihe bylaw, have post
poned the annua stockholders meeting
from June to ID aember. To this it il
objected that such perpetration of theil
ed by the purpose the bylaw under
which they acted, I'd an outrage on the
rights of the stock holders; and the
president, agreeing with this view and
differing with the majority OF his asso,
ciates, has called the stockholders togeth-
er at the usual time, which is next Fri
day, June 81, at BELOW Falls. Now,
the majority of the stock is in the inter.
est of the Connecticut River railroad
and will seek emancipation from the
Vermont Central lease and active re.
lance with the former road. The meet.
ing will undoubtedly elect new board
of directors with this end in view, and
these will proceed in the courts to OBJ
tain possession of the road and carry
out the new policy. As will be seen,
there are two or three important law
questions involved in the case but the
justice of the matter lies SO obviously
and decidedly with the claims of the
stockholders that it would seem there
should be no great hesitation in deciding
it in their favor. This being done, the
Connecticut River road will next seek to
secure control of the link of ten miles
between South Vernon Estate line) and
Brattleboro. This section belongs to the
Vermont and Massachusetts road, and
the Connecticut River will undertake to
buy or lease it; and failing to do either,
it will carry out its old threat of build
ing new track between the two points,
for which it has already made complete
surveys.

SUDDEN DEATHS.

Nothing seems more unaccountable to
most persons than deaths without appa-
rent disease, warning. or premonitiOn.
Persons in the exercise of their ordinary
vocatiOns, and in the prime and vigor
of life, suddenly cease to breathe. Many
persons have retired to bed at the usual
hour, " ith no appearance of indisposi-
ton, and in the morning have been
found dead. Others. while partaking of
an ordinary meal. have fallen liIeless to
the floor; and several cases are on record
of death in the pulpit-the minister,
while reading, speaking. or praying. sud
denly dlscOntinuing his devotionS and
eXPlring. A case recently occurred in
Tennessee. which is thus described in
the Nashville Banner:
Last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Landrum, q
Baptist minister, in his usual health
dropped dead in the pulpit in the church
at Rover, Bedford county. He had sung
and prayed, read his text. and was pro-
ceeding with his sermon, when he re-
marked that he felt sick, took a drink o.
water, wet his forehead, fell back in his
pulpit and expired Immediately. lie is
the second one, we are informed. who
has died suddenly in that pulpit in the
past two years"
Such cases are usually attributed tC
organic disease OF the heart; but this i!
not the real cause in more than one cas-,
in ten,~ The immediate cause is conges.
! tion of the brain-that il, undue accumu
lttion of blood in that organ; and the
remote cause is unusually torpidlty or
obstruction of some one or more OF til,
| depurating organs. If the bo wells al,
habitaally constipated, or the liver inac
tive, with a full or pletho,ic habit o.
| body, the blood becomes thick and Wis
cid, and accumulates in the brain.
The pneumogastic nerves, which sup
Wy the lungs and stomach, originate il
the lower and back part of the brain
substance. just where congestion mosi
readily occurs; and if sufficient pressur
is made ON the pneumatic branch, th
breathing must instantly cease. Th
remedy, or rather preventive, consists
keeping all OF the depurating organ
free, not by purgatives and chologogue
and sweats, and alternatives. but by
wholesome Diet and proper exercise

For the Republican,
ON THE DEATH OF FRANKIE
LEWIS-FIVE YEAR OLD.

Five pleasant years his fathers hand
His tripping footstep led,
Five sunny years TO mothers heart
He pressed that golden head,
Five springs the zephyrs mild caress ed
The budding maple tree.i
Five times the robin built her nest
And sung her melody,
Five summers sprang the flowers mite
To greet his baby eyes,
Five autums she'd their ripened fruit
To glad his sweet surprise,
Five winters spresd their snowy pail
Ger earth SO brown and hare,
Death triumphed over flowers and all
That slept SO meekIy there,
Oh bleeding hearts with grief oppressed
God leads your darling boy,
While clasped to Jesus loving breast
He whisperes words ofjoy,
For songs of birds so early given
He hears the angels sing,
Through all the golden vaults of Heaven
His notes of music ring.
For fair but dying summer flowers
His bright but wondering eyes,
Now gaze with Iapt angelic po wcrs
On blooms of Par rldise,
He wanders now where pleasures lie
Thick on the Elysian shore,
And gathers fruit where pain or sigh
Can never reach him moe,
No more Ger earth bleak winters reign
Shall cloud his glowing sky,
No night shall ever close again
On his unsleeping eye,
His brother on a couch ofpain
still dreams that Frank is nigh,
He will net, "Eddie," leave again
His mansions in the sky,
But trusting in q Savior's love
His death and promise given.
Those parting here may meet above
In painless happy Heaven.
