Incidents and Accidents.

"A woman was permitted to die Of
nose-bleed at Bremen, Ind, not long since,
in the vain expectation that an old igno-
ramus would stop the flow with a word
charm.
Whisky caused the death OF Joseph
Pelzak at Carlton, Wis, a short time
since. He fell under the runners OF his
sleigh and was dragged in this way for
more than two miles.
John Keller, of Camden, Me-, was
accompanying Miss Holt nome from
singing school few days ago, when ms
horse and buggy broke through the Ice
and both were drowned.
Recently Gibson Berry, of Berry
County, Mo, while cutting down q tree
for a coon, was struck on the head by q
falling limb and instantly killed, his skull
being crushed to jelly.
Little George Cough was sliding down
hill in East Hampton, Conn.,, about half
a mile from home. His mother stood at
the window and saw him slide into q
pond at the foot of the long hill. Nobody
was with him and he was too young to
help himself. She started for the pond as
fast as she could run, climbing fences and
stumbling through banks of snow. Be
fore reaching the place she became so
breathless, scared and exhausted that she
fell, half fainting; but she got on her feet
again and staggered on. When she came
to the water, which stood three feet deep
over the ice, she waded in and drew her
boy OUTPUT he was dead.
One may be pardoned for sneezing
under any circumstances, in view OF the
experience of woman in Westfield,
Mass, recently. Being in company and
attempting to suppress sneeze, she felt
a queer sensation in the left side of her
face, which soon began swelling and
drawing out Of shape. A physician was
called, but by the time he arrived her
mouth and the left side of her face had
become drawn up, disfguring her so that
her most intimate friends could scarcely
recognize her features, while she found 1t
impossible TO close her left eye. The
physicians say 1t is kind of paralysis,
caused by the great effort she made in
suppressing the sneeze, and give but faint
hopes that her features will ever resume
their natural appearance.
The Salt Lake Neaos publishes long
account Of the arrest In Sewer County,
Utah, of man supposed to be old Ben
der, of Kansas. A few weeks ago an old
man, dirty, hungry, and in rags, entered
Richfield. He stated that he had travelled
over the mountains from Montana. His
conduct was exceedingly strange, appear
ing most uninviting, and people VINO had
read the description of old Bender sus-
pected that this was the identical Kansas
murderer. The suspicion was 80 strong
that he was placed under arrest, and the
Sheriff wrote to Salt Lake for de-
tailed description of the individual in
question. When the reply was received
the supposed murderer had a preliminary
examination before Justice of the Peace,
when it was clearly indicated that the
man answered the description given of
Bender, in all particulars. He was then
put for safe keeping in the Jail at Manti,
San Pete County. There is most strik-
ing similarity between the description of
the accused old man and Bender, even 10
the manned hands with the large, promi-
nent cords on the back, color and quanti-
ty of hair, beard, etc. There appears to
be scowl on the face, the brows being
habitually knit. A portrait was taken at
Manti and sent to the authorities in Kan
sas for recognition. Some months ago a
woman came out of the mountains and
sojourned awhile at Provo, supposed to
be the fnurderess, Kate Bender.
