HAPS AND MISHAPS.

The last reported came from New
Orleans. The pistol, as usual, was not
loaded, but little girl is famed for life.
Recently Mr.. Green, of Chicago, left
his wife for business trip to the coun-
try, and when he returned week after
found his wife dead and buried.
A young woman living in North
Adams, Mass, who has been in the habit
of using arsenic to beautify her COM
plexion took an overdose the other day
and died.
Recently four men employed in an
ron furnace in Wales met dreadful
death by the bursting of a furnace near
where they were standing. Two were
literally charred to cinders, and two were
so severely burned that they died in the
course of an hour.
An Italian attempted to abduct 3
schoolgirl in the streets of Albany the
other day He covered the mouth of the
girl with black plaster so that she could
make no outcry-only struggle. Her sin
gular actions attracted the attention of a
pedestrian and after some difficulty the
girl was taken from her abductor and
sent to her home.
Harvey L. Hazen. an old Connecticut
dancing-master, died the other day,
aged seventy-seven years. His last
request was that his fiddle and
bow should be buried with him,
and those who took a farewell look at
the body as it lay in the coffin saw a vlo-
lin lying by its side and bow across the
breast of the old dancing-master.
A few days ago Geo. E. Jennings, of
Quechee, Vt, took his youngest child, a
boy three years of age, out to ride, and
when, upon his return, he took him from
the carriage, he said to him: Now,
Charlie, you have had your last ride with
your papa!" Having disposed of his
team, Mr.. Jennings went into the house
and took to his bed, remarking as he did
so that he should "never leave 1t again"
He died two days afterward.
John II. Bulford, of New Haven,
met with peculiar and serious accident
a few DAYS ago. He was lying at home
on a sofa, which was placed under shelf
which held little gothic clock. While
trying to disengage a violin bow from the
top of this clock, the clock fell and the
point at the apex pierced the tieshy part
of his knee, breaking off in it so that the
point could not be seen.
A very sad event recently occurred
at Burlington, Iowa. An elderly man,
named Conrad Herbert, and his son
Henry went to the river to battle. The
father got into very deep water, and
being unable to swim soon began to sink.
He called to his son for help and the
young man immediately plunged in, but
the father caught his son by the leg and
drew him down, and both were drowned
They were both well-known citizens, and
their sudden loss created much feeling.
A STORY comes from Fairfield, Herki-
mer County, n. Y, of a music-loving
dove. 1t is said that when the piano is
played in the house of the doves owners
it will fly into the house and perch on the
head of the performer, where it will re-
main until the piece is played, when it
will jump on the keyboard of the instru
ment and hop about the keys, thus pro-
7ucing sounds it seems to enjoy. Friends
i the family frequently visit the house TO
witness the birds strange antics.

A Worcester (Mass.) dispatch of the Goth
says George F. Hoar had determined not to
run for Congress or any other office next fall.
According to a New York telegram of the
Goth Henry Ward Beecher had stated, in
answer to query as to what course he would
pursue in view the recent statement of Mr..
Tilton, that he would not break the
silence which he had heretofore OBJ
served. Another dispatch of the same
date says: Mr.. Beecher, in converse
ton with reporter, said he had at presentno
intention of saying anything in reply to the
recent statements. He had large pastorate
under his charge, and had no time for per-
sonal controversies. If, however, the exami-
ners of Plymouth Church should decide that it
would be well for him to speak out in regard
to the recent letter, he would do so without
hesitation"

live a week when she commenced using it, a

work for over six months. Has used twenty
bottles and is still using it. Her recovery is
considered almost miracle, and we attribute
it all to the use of your valuable medicine. I
