Sad Accident at a Serenade.
From the Danbury News.


Those of our readers acquainted on
Monson street will remember that the
roof of Mr.. Forceps' saloon adjoins his
house, and is approached by two win
dows. One of these windows is in Mr..
Forceps' bedroom. On this roof Mrs.
Forceps has spread hesitating to-
matoes, with view to Fastening their
ripeness. Last Wednesday night she
put five more with their fellows, max
ing thirty in all.
The Forceps had niece visiting
them-a young lady named Hall of
Thomasron. She has made the &C.
quaintance of many of our young peo-
pie, and on Monday night several Of
them got together to give her a sere-
made. Providing themselves with the
requisite instruments the young men
took up position near this addition
we speak Of and struck up on the in
struments. Mrs. Forceps was first
awakened by music and nudged her
husband. He also awoke. The music
was grand-not loud or coarse; but
soft, low and harmonious. Mr.. For
ceps was very much pleased and got
up to the window to hear it. Then
Mrs. Forceps got up also, and re-tying
her night-cap, stood beside Mr.. For
ceps. "They're serenading Elem
said she. 81 know it," said Forceps.
"Who can they be? she asked. II
don't know, Pm sure, said he; "but l
suppose could find out if l crept out
on the roof and looked over" "Why
don't you ?" said she, her curiosity in
creasing. "pm afraid they might see
me-" he said. "They wouldn't be
looking up on the roof, would they ?n
Mr.. Forceps thought a moment and
then concluded no one would see him,
as the moon had gone into bank Of
clouds and objects were quite dim.
And then he softly opened the blind
and cautiously crawled out on the
shingles, completely encased in red
flannel under-clothes and a night-cap
of the same rich material. The music
still continued, coming up through the
night air in waves of ecstatic harmony.
Mr.. Forceps sat down on the roof and
laboriously worked his way to the
caves. Then he lifted himself up to
turn over and look down, and just then
he stepped on something soft and
yielding, felt his feet give way, made
q desperate clutch at the shingles,
was too late, gave a piercing shrek,
shot off the roof and went bowling in
among the band, followed by the to-
matoes, and madly cleaving the air
with his red-flannel limbs. He struck
on his back on the bass-viol, and with
one leg tore the entrails from an ac-
cordeon, and with the other knocked
all the keys from a silver-mounted
flute. The man who plays the bass
viol was driven senseless into pile of
pea-brush, and the fiute-player, with
his mouth full of blood and splinters,
jumped over the fence and fed
What became of the others Mr.. For
ceps does not know, he being too bus
lily engaged in getting on his feet and
into the house to make a critical ex-
animation of the field. tits presumed
the bass-viol man died on the spot,
and was surreptitiously removed and
buried by his companions, as there was
no sign of him about the premises in
the morning.

The Eureka Sentinel Of April 4tll
says: The last storm has proven a
very disastrous one to the sheep rang
ing along the Humboldt and that vi
entity. It is thought the seasons in
crease will not equal the number that
have already persisted by starvation
and inclemency of the weather. The
larger stock, asa general thing, appear
to have weathered the storms, though
at present they are in very poor condi-
ton. The stock owners think that the
worst is now passed, and with proper
care the remaining stock will be able
to find sufficient feed until the grass
begins to grow. At present some of
those owning sheep are feeding the
animals with hay, which is very ex-
pensive.
A letter from Halleck informs us
that the Humboldt river is polluted
with the decaying carcasses Of cattle
above here. The attention Of those
who dwell upon the river banks is es-
pecially directed to the evil, and it is
to be hoped that each person will see
to their removal from that portion of
the stream which flows through his
grounds before the warm weather sets
in. IF they are suffered to remain in
the water in such numbers the health
Of the valley will be seriously endan-
gered.- Elko Independent.
The man who takes his bitters on
getting out of bed in the morning, sips
whisky at II o'clock lunch, guzzles his
brandy appetizer before dinner, dimes
on wines, tapers off on brandy and cof-
fee, and retires on smasher, ought
not to complain If the mixture Of the
poison reddens his nose, bloats his
face, distends his eyes, diseases his
body, weakens his mind, prostrates
his business and ends in bankruptcy
and ruin. There are plenty of just
such men In every communicating
arc.
The two last saloons in West Jeffer-
son, Ohio, have closed. The news was
heralded by the ringing of church
bells.
