/ til -sney build up rousing fire in
stove and tEen each backing up as
near the heat as possible ''melt the darned
stuff off,, as she said. This method was
tried, but didn't work, as with the chairs
fastened to them they couldn't get near
enough to the fire. After they had sweat
in the heated room for about an hour to
no purpose, the wax retaining its relent-
less grip and connection, they saw no other
way out of their awkward dilemma except
to engage in surgical operation. 1t was
getting along toward morning, and day
light was near at hand. They realized
that whatever was to be done must be done
quickly. Their jack-knives were brought
into requisition, and in few minutes each
fellow was released from his uncomforta-
bic position. They left the young lady
and the house in hasty, unceremonious
manner, with cane patch on the rear of
their unmentionables about the size of
full moon. Freezing ont games are not SO
popular as they were.

THE SMALL Boy OF MERGED RIvER.-
Where the road between Merced and Smell
ing crosses the MERGED river, that stream
is about two hundred yards in width, aud
even at this season of the year, when the
water is quite low, it looks like a danger
GUS and deep stream to cross. Last Thurs
day patent medicine agent, travelling on
horseback through that section, came to
the river, and hesitated about attempting
to ford it, as he saw the wide expanse of
rushing waters. There is no bridge any
where along there, so, after some indeci-
sion, he concluded to swim his horse across.
Spying small boy fishing in a small punt
tied to the bank, he said
''HeDo, Bub p
':Hello, yourselfr'
''Can l get you to take NY clothes across
the river in your boat?''
81 rekin you kin, if you've got any SOAP
CAN right; I'll give you quarter to take
over my clothes and this carpet-sacB to the
opposite shore
To this the boy nodded assent, the stran-
ger disrobed, turned over the carpes-sack
and habiliments to the juvenile, who pad
died out into the stream, and mounted his
horse preparatory to swimming the river
and enjoying the luxury of bath. With
Plash at every movement the horse step
ped into the stream, and walked across
the water was nowhere more than eighteen
inches deep. To say that the medicine
man, perched on the back of his horse, was
man of iniquity for the space of half an
hour would hardly do justice to the occa-
sion. There were enough dams" along
the Merced that afternoon to supply hun
dred Observation-Disclosures Exchange.

worst kinds of waste, to say nothing of

A COLD cement for mending earthen-
ware, says a recent English work, reckoned
a great secret among workmen, is made by
grating a pound of old cheese, with a bread
crater, into a quart of milk, in which it
must be left for a period of fourteen hours.
1t should be stirred quite often. A pound
of unslaked lime, finely pulverized in a
mortar, is then added, and the whole is
thoroughly mixed by beating.
This done the whites of twenty-five eggs
are Incorporated with the rest, and the
whole is ready for use. There is another
cement for the same purpose which is used
hot. 1t is made of rosin, beeswax, brick
dust and chalk boiled together. The sub
stances to be cemented must be heated,
and when the surfaces are coated with
cement, they must be rubbed hard upor
each other, as in making q glue joint with
wood.

ALEXANDRIA. January 3l.-A special
correspondent of The Gazette gives an ac-
count of the explosion, on the 2Sth instant,
of a canister of g%unpowder in the store of
Mr.. Payne, at Edge Hill, King George
county, Virginia, by which the store was
completely demolished. and all those in it
at the time more or less injured.
Mr.. Payne is the brother of F. W.
Payne, of the firm of Payne & Spilman,
of Washington, and is in a critical condi-
ton. A colored man will probably lose
the sight of both eyes. Mr.. Payne was
loading a gun over the canister, when the
hot ashes from his pipe fell in it and caused
the EXPLOSION.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD.
A train arrived in this city about 7 O'Clock
this morning from Huntington, the west
ern terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad. 1t brought back the party which
left here more than a week ago to witness
the ceremony Of laying the last rail at
Hawks Nest, and several other persons
from points along the western end of the
road. Four car loads of coal, specimens
from the great Kanawha coal fields, were
attached to the train and brought to this
city, constituting the first receipts from
the region which promises US abundant
supplies of fuel in the future. We were
furnished with a ''chunk' of the camel
variety.
A conference of members Of the Rich
mond chamber of commerce, city council,
prominent merchants, bankers, citizens and
railroad officials was held at the Exchange
hotel at twelve o'clock to-day, to consider
the question of publicly celebrating the com
pletion of the road. Colonel Coalter Cabell
presided. A committee of fifteen was ap-
pointed to make arrangements for a suita-
BILE celebration of the interesting event at
an early day. 1t is probable that the cele-
bration will embrace a grand excursion
westward to the Ohio, and returning bring
large delegations of citizens from the west,
who will then participate in other interest
ing ceremonies here.
