in shady spots, always full Of fun, jest and
kindness.
1t would make my tale too long were to
attempt to describe half the eccentric kind
ness and generosity of the queer little man;
his love for the children, his respectful
attentions to Henrietta, his tender care for
Cora.
He had been Miss Moselys boarder for
nearly year, when he one day invited her
to take walk with him, saying he wished
to consult her about matter which he
considered Of great Importance, and to tell
her some things which she ough. to know.
Of course Miss Mosely readily consented
as she not only had her share of woman's
curiosity, but really had such a regard for
her boarder that she was glad to be able to
oblige him.
After they had left the house he thus
accosted her: Concluded next week.

Fearful Scene at a Grave.

The Chicago Times says: A few days
ago MIR. Mublbesch was taken suddenly
i'll at his late residence. His disease was
OF very acute nature, and in spite of all
the efforts of his physicians he died after
a brief illness, and his. sorrowing friends
made ready for the funeral An under
taker was summoned and the body was
promptly laid ont, and the funeral services
tool place from his late residence. The
lag prayer had been offered and the Ia
solemn service repeated, when, just as the
sexton seized his spade and was about to
drop the first shovelful of earth upon tho
coffin, a sound something like a stifled
groan, followed by a scratching noise, as
if the dead man was trying to release him
self from the confines of his narrow house,
was heard proceeding from the still open
grave. For an instant every heart stood
still, and the blood of every listener SEEM
ed to curdle in his veins. The women
screamed and fastened toward the carriage,
while the men were not slow in following
them. In an instant the sexton was the
only man left at the grave, and he, too,
trembled at hearing what he had never
heard before. Finally he recovered pres
ence of mind enough to descend into the
grave and break open the rough box in
which the coffin was encased. The
noise was repeated. and he knew that the
occupant of that grave, who in few mo
ments more would have been consigned to
horrible death, and whom his friends
already mourned as dead, was still alive and
anxious to be set free. A screw-driver was
soon procured from the undertaken present,
and the coffin lid removed, when its occu-
pant, instead of being cold aud dead, as he
had appeared when last seen, was found to
be once more alive. His friends, who had
by this time recovered courage enough to
return to the grave, were almost overjoy-
ed at this strange and unexpected turn of
affairs, and fastened to rescue the late de-
ceased fIom his unpleasant quarters and
removed him to one of the carriages in
waiting, where he was rolled up in plen-
tiful supply of blankets and robes, and the
friends who had lately followed him sor-
rowingly to the grave now hastened joy
fully toward their homes. The rescued
man was so overcome on being rescued
from his perilous position that he was for
long time unable to speak, and what his
feelings were while undergoing burial, or
whether he was conscious at all or no.
until the last moment when he managed
to signify that he was still alive, is not
known.

Singular.
THE CARRIER.

Mr. James Reedus, while out hunting on
a piece of land known as the Black Ham
mock, in Chicot County, Arkansas, fired
charge of turkey shot at rabbit very
short distance off, and, firing up hill, the
whole load entered the ground, from whicn
there Immediately rose bright blue flame,
with hazy clouds Of smoke. Mr.. Reedus
was, as matter Of course, very much
alarmed, but, being man of nerve, advan-
ced close enough to the place, which was
emitting sulphurous smell, to observe
that the ground around had assumed the
color of birthstone, and was fast crumbling
away, dropping into the miniature crater
in the appearance of crisped hair and burn
ed horn, which, in turn, dissolved into
smoke and stencil. The whole neighbor-
hood was much excited, and hundreds had
visited the scene, now sank into the bowels
of the earth, but still emmitting occasional
whiffs Of smoke, strongly impregnated with
the smell Of birthstone. When our infor-
mant left, the excitement was, if anything
on the increase, while many families were
removing from that portion Of the State.

The Carriers Address
TO THE PATRONS OF
The Bloomfield Times.

All hail the dawn OF the glad new Year!
May health, success and plenty cheer
The contented minds, and larders fill,
And blessings be heaped on blessings still!
Is the wish which the Carrier puts into
rhymes,
For all the Patrons of the bloomfield
Times.
In the year that has passed, each import
ant event
Was detailed as it happened, in the papers
that went
To our thousands OF readers: And the
record will show
We omitted no news 1t was useful to know;
And now at its close, let us pause and re-
view
And sum.up the bold deeds Of the dead
Seventy.two.
The filthiest blot that its record must bear,
Are the infamous frauds, that occurred
here and there,
From New York City to Little York town:
From Washington magnates, all the way
down
To the lead-legged Gov'nor who wondrous-
ly chose
To dismiss an official for the Evans Expose.
Thieves have their millions the murderer's
hand
Is at work through the length and breadth
OF the land;
Still Tweed is at large; and Stokes is un-
hung;
Mrs. Fair an acquittal has finally wrung
From the grasp OF the law. Oh! shall 1t
sol be,
That crime shall be master in Seventy
three?
But Death, alas! with his sickle keen
A busy reaper through the year has been;
And many sheaf-bound with fame
full Of love
He has gathered and garnered in heaven
above.
From Generals and Statesmen, from Pas
tors and flock
He has plucked the ripe heads to bind up in
his shock.
Mr.. Seward, the great Secretary has gone
The tragedan, Forrest-his last Act is
done.
And brave General Meade, OF Gettysburg
fame,
Now only lives in much honored name.
And the Morse Brothers too leave safely
behind
The memory OF blessings conferred on
mankind.
Mid the ranks of the Press. too, the har-
vest OF death
Has cut down the mighty; and with bated
breath
We gazed at a Bennett, whose Herald"
has brought
All the wealth and renown his ambition
had sought,
And the great Horace Greeley. Pow
er in the land,
Respected and hOnored on every hand, t.t
Both taken; like heads Of the largest and
best
Which the husbandman marks and culls
out from the rest
Elections and Fires; thegreat Arbitration;
Have each in their turn filled the mind OF
the nation.
But my space is all done. must stop my
rhymes here,
And end with the wish OLA happy New
Year,
THE CARRIER.

How TO KEEP SWEET PoTAToEs,-
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
gives the following as his method Of tax.
ing care OF sweet potatoes:
As soon as well matursd dig them up.
Handle them with care SO IS to avoid
bruising them. A. soon SIS the sun has
dried the moist earth adhering to them,
pack them in barrels or boxes which do
not hold over two bushels each. First,
place over the bottom Of the box layer
Of dry shavings about an inch thick.
Those made at planning mills are well
adapted to the purpose. On these place
layer OF potatoes, then another shay
ings, and SO on, until the box is full,
covering them finally with two or three
inches OF shavings. Let the boxes stand
few DAYS without any other cover, to
give the moisture an opportunity TO
escape, and the covers that are put on
finally must not be closed. The potatoes
need some ventilation throughout the
winter. Place the boxes in A warm, dry
room For several years past we have
kept them in chamber adjoining the
family sitting room. The door between
them was open, so that the fire OF the
sitting room would keep the other suf
fcienty warn. When the weather was
very cold, We sometimes threw quilts
over the boxes at night. removing them
in the morning One night last winter
the mercury sunk to twenty eight de
greos below zero, but our potatoes were
not injured the shavings, by their non
conductive quality, retained the warmth
received from the fire Of the preceding
day
This plan answers well for family pur
/ poses, when the object is to keep only
few bushels for daily use and for seed
