Seven Men SuFocare.

A letter from Goodrich, Ontario says
Rumor from Blind River, a numbering
stream that flows into Lake Huron, an
nounces singular and singularly fatal
accident. A lumberer named williams
sent batteau load of pork, -four and oats
up to the woods in charge of seven men
four of whom were from Ashfield, the
others being French Canadians from the
"Ottawa country" The trip should
only have occupied two days, and when
a full week had elapsed Mr., Murry, an
associate of Williams, becoming alarmed
at receiving no tidings of the men, made
inquiries about them. A lumberer stat
ed that as he came down the river he
saw the depot where the provisions
should have been stored, near which
their batteau was lying, half filled with
water, but showing no signs of oecupa-
ton. Preceding to the depot, Mr.. Muir
ry entered the building. He found the
pork stored away in one corner and the
flour in another, while the oats were in
a confused heap in the center of the floor
some of the bags being broken. A faint
odor, as of decaying flesh, proceeding
from this pile, almost gave deadly fin
ish to the conjecture that beneath it
were mysteriously buried those whom
he sought. On clearing away the bags
the smell became more pronounced, then
a human hand showed itself, then all
the bodies came to light.
OF course the manner of their deaths
could only be guessed at, but the story
told by the circumstances under which
the bodies were discovered was plain as
print. The sacks of oats had been piled
in high narrow pile along the side of
the building opposite to the fireplace.
The men had gone to sleep in woodman
their feet to the fireplace.
The pressure from the superintendent
mass had burst seam in one the lower
bags, from which the oats had ran till
the pile had sagged, and with one tre-
mendous crash fell on the sleeping men
who were taken in trap. But one of
them seems to have had an opportunity
to fight for his life, his six fellows hay
ing been crushed and stified as they lay.
He had made q esperate struggle, which
has but suffled to increase his torture as
the bags had been torn by his hands and
teeth till he had been smothered by the
oats.

Cold in the Head.

One of the most annoying complaints
in the range of medical knowledge is
cod in the head. But you would not
think so. No newspaper which pub
fishes intricate recipes for complicated
diseases, tells, even in the most vague
way, how to cure cold in the head.
No volume on physiology comes to its
relief. No doctor in regular practice
pretends to know anything about it. 1t
is the wandering Jew of ailments. 1t
invades every household with impunity
and snaps its feverish fingers in the very
face of science. And medical science
promptly lodges, and is glad it cam
The man with cold in his head is a
mournful fabr ic to contemplate. He is
ostracised from company. He is bar
red out from the family circle. He
loses his interest in everything but a
stove and handkerchief, and were he
called upon to give an expression it
would be found that his idea of heaven
was place where stove foundries and
cotton mills were about equally divided.
His eyes are watery, his skin is drawn
tight to his flesh, his nose is swollen, of
q fiery red, and sorer than strange
dog. What he mostly fears is the draft,
but in spite his most active endeavOrs he
is sure to get into it; and he is hardly
able to conceal his surprise at the pres
sure of business the family is subjected
to, which keeps the door open about
two-thirds of the time, and establishes
an almost uninterrupted current of air
about his legs. Screwed up back of the
stove, with his nose like beacon shin
ing above it, he patiently holds his hand
kerchief to the blaze, and finally slips
into mental calculation as to which
will first lose its moisture-his cotton or
his blood. There he sits all day, with
handkerchief as flag of truce tender
ed by the fire in his head to the fire in
stove, and at night he goes scudding
through cold hall, sneezing at every
leap. Long after every one else is
asleep he starts up with terrific sneeze
and finds that his feet are sticking out
below the quilts, and that the handler
chief, which he meant to have carefully
located fer just this emergency, is no.

A Word for the Poor.

This winter will be hard one. Work
will be scarce and money scarcer. AL
ready the great manufacturing firms
have discharged many of their hands,
and those who have not dismissed en-
rloyes have reduced wages SO low that
the effect of the two is not very differ
ent. To beg, to steal, or to starve seems
the only solution to the problem of life
for those enforced idlers. When there
is scantiness of work, there is inevita-
bly, plentitude of crime. 1t is stated
that twenty thousand men and women,
dependent on their daily earnings for
support, were out of employment last
winter in New York; and it is feared
that the number this season may be
doubled. Many of them must wander
into the country in search of the labor
they cannot find in town. When they
ask at your door tor work, try to find
for them. if it be only for a
few hours. Trust them, even if their
be uncanny. Give them
work, and pay them for it. Money
that comes without labor is generally
the least charitable of gifts. To live
upon pecuniary aid that has had no
equivalent, is to lose self-respect, and to
lose self-respect is to lose the balance
wheel of healthy organization.
Engage all the help this winter you
can possibly afford. Have your sewing
done, not by expensive modistes, but by
the poor who stitch by the Gay or job.
Hire the chore-woman for an extra
cleaning, now and then. Let the wash
boy do the errands You have
been in the habit of doing yourself
Compensate them for self-respecting
toll, instead of making them the recip-
tents of mortifying charity. Do not
save pennies, and call it economy, by
performing the task which, by the law
Of mutual help, belongs to others. 1t
is keeping from them that which is their
right. Refrain from buying luxuries,
if you will, but do not take frsm the
needy, through a mistaken idea of thrift.

New Trenton.
frelIleil.

Returning TO Trenton Wednesday,
after an absence OF some two weeks, VIC
found that little city fully redecming
all we had promised concerning the re-
building of the place. In fact I'VE found
that our predictions had fallen short
Claiborne street will have more business
houses on it this Fall than last. Many
Of the new buildings, though not so
roomy as the old, display more regard
for style and are much better adapted
to the business OF Trenton than those
burned down. There will be no dilap-
idated, unoccupied, rambling old sheds
in now Trenton. The business of each
house will be under tho immediate and
careful attention OF the proprictors, and
the buyer will, thus, be able to transact
more speedily the business which calls
him to the Trenton market.
The changes in business firms will
be but few. Our old soldier friend, Joe
Bernstein, one of the " Hebrew chill
drcn," will occupy the new house of
Stamper Il Mcclure, and these gentle
men will erect another house and con-
tinue business. Capt. Flournoy will
continue business alone, and Col. Mill
saps, with his son, will set up in new
house. Otherwise, We arc not advised
Of any changes i'll the business of Trcn-
ton, not already published.
We need not say that We wish our
Trenton ncighbors well. Tho TELE-
GRAPH has always been their advocate
and is SO to-day.
