in attempting to adjust some betting in the

caught and the bones OF his arm crushed by
being drawn between a belt and pulley. At
the same time his body was pulled in against
the large ly-wheel and so crushed as TO
cause his death before the next morning.

The South Bend Tribune says: A woman
succeeded in passing two or three counter
felt twenty-dollar greenbacks upon our mer-
chants yesterday, getting rather more than
half the amount in good money, and the
rest In goods. She seemed to be about thir-
ty-fve years of age, and appeared like a
plain country woman. At one place she
asked for shoes for her children, but on sec
| ond thought said she guessed she would have
TO wait until another day and bring them In,
az she had forgotten TO take their MEASURE.
OF course tho dealer urged her b take the
shoes along at the time. and return them II
they were not a fit. He IL confident that
there will DO no difficulty about the fit"
| The fraud was detected only a few minute
| after its perpetration, but the search for her,
| which was hastily instituted, proved una
vailing. She doubtless had a confederate,
| who spirited her and her booty away in a
carriage. All OF the depots were watched,
but she did not visit them.

dries in the way of trifies from relatives and
friends amounting to thousands more. And
now we have a quiet. transformations little
affair this week, at which the father of the
bride presented her with $4,000 in in
terest bearing bonds, and $1,000 for pin
money, to cay nothing of the princeiy pres
ents received from relatives and friends.
