Singular Oocurrence..A Child
Strangled by a Car.
Middleton IN. W Mercury.1

A strange occurrence took place a
few morning since in the family Of Mr..
Silas Doloway, engineer in Babcock,
Fuller & Co.'s new hat factory, who
occupies J. w. Garfield house on Mul.
berry street, in this village. Mrs. Dolo.
way is accustomed to leave her babe, a
little girl four months old, on the bed
upstairs while she does her mornings
work in the basement, from where she
could easily hear the least noise. On
the morning in question she heard the
little one Growing as usual, but finally
noticed that the sounds ceased and
shortly after heard q strange gurgling
noise. Supposing that the child had
got its head under the bed clothes and
was sufocating, she ran up stairs to see
about it. and found the house cat with
its nose in the child's mouth. The
child was strangled black, and was
fighting feebly with her hands. She
caught the child and shook it several
times, when it caught its breath and
came "ut all right. In a few moments
more it would probably have been
strangled to death. Mrs. Doloway had
to pull the cat off the child, so eager
was it to remain. 1t had paw on ei.
ther side of the child's head, and had
its nose pressed deeply into the child s
mouth. The cat was instantly killed.

A Dog and His Picture.

Caesar was fine Newfoundland dog
Of great intelligence, owned by Mrs. G..
A. Richardson. of Lowell. One morn
ing she took the dog, with some of the
children Of her family, to daguerreo.
type-room, with a view of having pic
ture taken Of the group.
For nearly an hour Mrs. R. tried to
place Caesar in a posture suitable for
the purpose Of getting a. likeness; but
when she thought she was all right, he
would slowly get up, shake his hugh
body, and Of course, spoil the picture.
Annoyed at his conduct, Mrs. R.
opened the door, and with stern voice
said to Caesar, $50 home, sir! You
have displeased me very much; you
shall not stay with us any longer
Hereupon Caesar skunk away with a
crestfallen look; and Mrs. R. made no
further attempt to put him in the pic.
ture. But the next day, much to her
surprise, Caesar came home with box
tied round his neck. What could it
meane He seemed to be greatly pleas
ed, and wagged 'expressively, while
waiting for the opening of the box.
His mistress was still more surprised
when she found that it contained a fine
daguerreotype of Caesar himself.
At her earliest convenience she called
on the daguerreotypist, to inquire how
he had succeeded in enticing the dog
into his room, and keeping him quiet.
He said that, on the morning following
the failure, he heard noise in the en-
try, as if some one was humping on the
door,. 3Ei.5....". I. - '.'' =:

A Fortune Made.

Jefferson county, West Virginia, is
just now in the enjoyment Of nice sen.
sation. Not scan n,ug-no; but quite
interesting nevertheless. The story is
believed to be true by the people who
live near the scene Of the chef acts,
and runs in this way: Some time in the
latter days of the rebellion an officer of
the federal army-a quartermaster,
paylnaster or some other functionary
through whose hands great deal of the
nations cash had occasion to pass,
buried the large sum of forty thousand
dollars beneath the roots of large oak
tree by the side of the road leading
from Carlestown to Shepherdstown,
West Virginia. The money was we'll con.
cealed, but as regards the motive which
actuated the officer in making such a
peculiar deposit the reader may form
his Own differences from the sequel. 1t
has been suggested by the charitably
inclined that as measure Of safety for
the time being this disposition OF the
funds was necessary, and that the in.
tentions eff the officer were pure enough.
but subsequent events rather tend to
dissipate the latter part of this
theory. Soon after the close of
war the accounts Of the
official were found to be t'dcs.
perate1y short,' to use an expression OF
more recent origin, and a criminal pros.
ecution was instituted by the govern.
ment against the delinquent. who re.
fused most obstinately to reveal the
whereabouts Of the missing cash. The
accused being also too avaraci.us to d.
vide, there was no alternative left to
the guardians of the nations interests
save that of zealously proceeding to full
fill their official duties, the result
whereof was that the elnbezzler was
convicted, sentenced and duly incarcer-
ated. an event which it must be pre-
sumed the prisoner had not entirely
failed to anticipate. At this point
properly ends tie first chapter, and the
second begins.
The sentence served out, and the mai.
esty of the law demonstrated at the
reasonable cost Of $4,000 (besides
costs) the plucky hero of the tale pre-.
pared to reap the benefit of his wicked
ness. AS may I've imagined, he hied to
the vicinity of the oak tree in Virginia,
and fingered around the locality for
several days without attracting especial
attention, or exciting any suspicion.
After careful inspection he became Ger:
tain as to the tree, and then one night,
provided with pick and spade, he retired
to its base, dug from the earth his plum
del. and silently stole away. The next
morning found the ground underneath
the tree presenting the appearance Of a
newly plowed field; but the man and
the treasure were gone.

do not wonder at his lingering round
this former resort, and he will continue
20 do so as long as he lives. The tears
he sheds (real tears, not figures of
speech) relieve his agony, and after the
fit is over he goes to his drudgery with
as much resignation as possible. The
method Of operating, which is described
above, is called "b1ying on margin, -
and no one can practice it in a widely
extended manner, until he has become
reckless in prodigious degree.

AS soon as he saw that the artist had
done with him, Caesar rose and stretch

who had wiped out a disgrace by max
Ing rcparation. He then waited for the
dagucrreotype, which was tied around
his neck, and he trotted home with it to
his mistress.

a Fortune Of $150,OOO Lost In. Oae
Week.
New York Letter.)

New York Letter.)
Here is a>man of sixty who looks ex-
tremely shattered, and, as he is an old
acquaintance, am much interested in
his case. He has wife and family,
which have for years considered them
selves rich, but they are now poor and
must remain so. The present is hard
enough, but the future looks worse.
This man sunk everything he had in
one week. He spends a certain amount
cf time every day at the Stock Ex.
change, indulsing his feelings and try
ing to recall the past. After this he
goes to his desk and tolls through the
duties which now give him bread.
I have known this man half life
time and knew his father Also The
latter was thrifty man, who by great
industry paid for farm, which he be-.
aqueathed to this fellow and his sister.
The young man studied law and had a
good practice, but he got to speculating
in stocks, and this destroyed his habits
for labor. He made some good hits,
which only led to bolder attempts. His
luck continued, and at last he| became
proverbially successful, 50 much so that
many applied to him for advice on the
subject. He gradually reached for
tune of $l05,000, which was secure in
his own hands week before the panic.
His sisters money was also in his pos
session. At that time august 1879 he
concluded that Central Hudson, which
stood at par, would 60 to 130, and he
spread his $l50,000 so as to control a
million. In other words, he bought a
million worth and paid $3.50, 900 down
as margin, and bank; -, lent
him the remainder, holding
the stock as security. a His
plaps were disappointed. The public
knocked the stock down to IS, and the
bank demanded it's money. His loan
was at five days call and he could not
meet it. ~ The stock was sacrificed, and
IN one week he was beggarcd, besides
sinking his entire patrhnony. Fortu-
nately, he has since got employment At

the street. He does the low drudgery

"A " Osn1nS y tAO8 00e0tOt Mrs. I1ltO0s
[Mrs. Swisshe in the Chicago Tribune. ]
OF all the moral lessons ever Henry
Ward Beecher taught, the most impress
sive is contained in those words which
Mrs. Stanton truly says must have fall
en- with ''withering cruelty" on her
whom he 'scasts aside like withered
fower.' ''She thrus: her affections on
me unsousht.' These are the most in.
structive words; this is the greatest
sermon that ever fell from the lips of
the great preacher Let all women read
and ponder. They teach an old. old
lesson, with new and mighty force.
They say to every woman: The man
who would induce you to do that for
which you would hide your head in
shame, if known to the world, is sell
fish egotist and coward! No matter
how gracefully he may kneel, how elo.
quently and passionately he may plead;
no matter how thickly he may pant his
purposes with coatings Of piety and
philosophy. his nature and his purposes
are base. 1t is himself he loves, and,
under sufficient pressure, he will sacri-
tice and trample upon you. The man
who can get his own consent to live a
life he dares not acknowledge, confcsses
himself a coward; and coward, in
presence of danger would betray any
trust. A man who would mahe dishon-
orable proposals, under the plea Of love,
to woman, is so essentially asneak,
that sacrificing her TO save himself is as
much necessity Of his nature, as truly
a part of his make up, as are claws to
lobster.
One must pity poor little Mrs. Til.
ton. Think Of the great mesmeric
force which holds hundreds of thous-
ands in spell, which makes right wrong
and wrong right with word, look
and gesture; think of the power of
Beecher being concentrated in one hui
man soul-a soul made for devotion,
predisposed to believe in anything which
took the form Of piety-and what result
could be expected? What man could
resist Beecher if he would concentrate
his power upon him? Mr.. Tilton is
surely right in feeling that his wife S
fall, under the circumstances, is no evil
dence Of unusual weakness, and he NAV
well pardon her on the ground that he
himself committed blunder worse than
a crime in consenting to the unusual in.
timacy in his family of such man Ia
mar4 VINO had long been charged with
immortality. Tha world can we'll afford
to pity and pardon poor little Mrs. TIL
ton. Those who were at all familiar
with the fragile, nervous, sensitive. af-
fectionate little creature may we'll cover
her with mantle of charity. The
strong can afferd to love and trust her,
when not under the baleful influence
that wrecked her life but she is no
pattern Of womanhood to be held up
for other than condemnation.
