Another Black Lizard J0Uisted.

LIVE LIZARDS IN THE STOMACH OF Awo-
MAN IN CUMRU TOWNSHIP.
On Wednesday Mrs. Mitchell vomi-
ted the third live black lizard from her
stomach. She ia the wife of Mr.. John
Mitchell, who resides in Cumru town
ship, and is employed as machinist
in the Phila. and Reading Railroad
Company shops, and yesterday moln-
ing her husband brought the reptile
along to this city, when he came to
work, and presented it in a bottle to
Dr. Dundore, who is preserving 1t alive.
1t is inches in length and is dark on
the back and spotted, very similar TO
a trout on the stomach.
Last spring when returning home
from this city in carriage she vomited
something alive, whilst she was lean
ing over the side of the vehicle, but
did not stop to examine About two
weeks ago she felt achorking sensation
and threw up into basin at home n
live lizard about A inches in length,
and ON Wednesday another one. About
an hour thereafter she felt Choking
sensation again in her throat; which
has led her to believe that there are
more lizards in her stomach.
| Mrs. Mitchell is about 33 years OF
age, weighs over 200 pounds, and is in
good health, excepting that OCCASION
ally she is afflicted with weak spells
and checking sensation, but these
are of short duration. One evening
last summer year ago she drank wa
ter from the spout of pump, and re
marked to her husband at the time
that she believed she drank somthing
alive with the water.
Mrs. Mitchell intends taking some
drug to destroy the reptiles in her sto
mach.

A GERMAN correspondent Of the
Pail Mall Gazette writes: "The cause
of cremation is making further progress
The furnace intended for the expert
mental burning Of the dead, now in
building in Dresden, il to be completed
in few weeks. Meanwhile . crema-
tion society has formed at Vienna under
the appropriate title Of The Urn" and
he's obtained the Governments consent
for instituting similar experiments
The furnace to be bu:lt at Vienna will
be after the design of Prof. Reclam, of
Leipzig. The Urn has q goodiy roll
Of members to show already, and every
day is said to witness additions. 10
Zurich, Swiss papers affirm, cremation
is more spoken of and exci,es greater
attention and zeal than even the pro
posed revision Of the Federal Constitu-
ton, on which q vote is about to be
taken shortly"

Tom Dellar, an Americaa-born negro, so
distinguished hisaself as scout in the
Ashantec war, for which he volunteered,
that Sir Garnet Wclssley means to secure
him good birth under government, if pos
sible. He was wourded in one Of the
fights, and altogether was a soldier of note.
A little child ir Georgia recently saved
its foolish father from suicide. Disguised
with his poverty, though he seems to have
had good health, Mr. Meredith. of Cau-
seta, loaded q doub.e-barrded shot gun and
put the muzzle to his head. His child ran
up as he fred and Knocked the weapon to
one side. The mans life was saved, and
he should live and work. il only for the
sake OF that little child.
A Buffalo street-car conductor refused TO
permit a female in ssbloomer costume" to
ride on hi, car, believing her to be awoman
dressed in mans clothes. The case was car
ried TO q court. when the conductors coun-
sci stated that there was an ordinance gAinst
a female wearing mans dress, and thought
that worn BY the woman came very near to
it. The justice, however, held that the
s.bloomer' was fena:s costume.
One Of the most wonderful things in the
world is the uniformity Of apparent scci-
dents. Thus in Great Britain, vhers the
statistics are M uch better preserved than in
this country, the total number Of deaths By
human violence in 1870 was II, ,95S in 1859
it vas is 4S7; it was 1888 ia 1858; l6,-
ss6 in 1867; 1926 in 1896; l1,s74 in
le6s and IL ,0Is 10 1884. Not only that,
but the same uaiformity extends to the
manner in which the victims met their
deaths. How are we to account for this
uniformity, exceE, apou the principle tha;
in the divine econOm, Of nature there is
no such thing As an accident, or al excep-
tion TO ordinary laws, by which the whole
universe is governed. -
A baiky horse is understood to be animal
which, when harnes,ed, refuses TO start.
Various expedients, many of them cruel,
are resorted TO in order to overcome such

od. 1t u to put rope under the horses

still with force sufficient. The animal, to

1t is estimated that not less than
thirty million feet of logs passed
through, and from two to three hun

ken and gone adrift will probably reach
one hundred, and of thi. number one
half will prove . total loss.
As the tangled mass Of RATS low
lies above the bridge on the Lockport
side nothing can pass and make the
schultz. A party Of lumbermen have
entered into stipulatIons With the own
ers to Gu: them out and raft the timber
up sglin for one cent per foot The job
is mammoth one, and must necessarily
consume many days time, besides being
very dangerous.

Disaster to Lumbermen at
Lock Haven.

We copy from the Williamspcrt Ga
sefte The following particulars
|. From the best information we can
CLEAN from eye-w;tnesses it appears that
about the middle of Monday afternoon
raft, manned by the usual compile
ment of men in attempting to pass
through the schute from the dam, stuck
fast on account Of being over foot too
wide for the channel. There it re-
mained as if pinioned in a vice until
sbou. nine o'clock that night-over six
housekeeping back the hundreds that
we're pressing in the rear. Some of
these RATS we're ,n.scurely fastened,
and during the night they broke from
their nooring. and we're borne upon the
bosom of the turbulent waters, crash
ing over the dan and we're broken to
pieces. Others lodged upon the piers
of the old bridge connecting the city
with Lookport, where they hung COM
pleteiy obstfacting the channel.
The night was an anxious and gloomy
one-the crashing Of timbers and the
Yelling of excited and turbulent men
sent a thrill through the city that
caused hundreds to become alarmed
for their safety.
Over 200 heavy timber RATS, piled
up in ine1tricable confusion against the
piers of the bridge and extending up
the river some distance above the
Hanna house, completely blockaded the
entire ,tfeam. Many Of the heavy
timbers composing these RATS were
broken like pipe stems, and at one
point Opposite the first pier from the
Lockport side) the RATS are five and
six deep, being showed upon each other
By the immense pressure from the rear.
During Tuesday thousand, of people
congregated on the river bank to wit
ness the spectacle. The water con-
tinued rising, and at one time the hoat-
ing ,imbers we're forced up until they
almost touched the floor Of the bridge.
Two canal boats loaded with lumber
and moored some distance up the
stream, we're borne down with the
floating mass of timber.
About ten o'clock an opening in the
jam was effected through the almost
superhuman exertions Of Messrs. elf
ford and Colbreadth, who, with gangs
of men went to wsrk under the super
vision Of Edgar Munson, Esq, presi-
dert Of the Williamsport Lumbermen's
Exchange, and succeeded 10 making sn
opening with cant hooks, pike poles,
tE. One of the boom piers was torn
from its foundation aud carried down
the stream. Suddenly it disappeared,
then rose again and was forced forward
with the logs. The great mass passed
the bridge and that structure was saved.
Had the break not occurred when it
did it would not have been long until
the river would have found an outlet
through a portion of the city, and
Front street below the Fallon house
would have been inundated.
In about forty minutes the vast body
of logs that had stretched from shore
to shore and to depth of sixteen feet
above the blockade of RATS, passed
below, and as far as the eye could
reach the river vas covered with them,
while above they came not in jams but
