A Fifteen Hours Walk for Life,

Ga Sunday afternoon, young man
named George Falk swallowed, as he
stated, three ounces of laudanum and
five grains of morphia, in order to end
his life There was but one way Of sav-
ing him, and that was to keep him in
motion. After relieving him as far as
possible, his physician, DR.. M. j. Gately,
ordered that he walked until he was out
of danger. At halfpast two o'clock
Sunday afternoon, he was put upon bis
tramp for life, and forced to walk in the
open air as rapidly as he could. His
father kept by him fora long time, aud a
friend or policeman assisted. After
some hours father gave out, and finally
office and friends grew tired. AT last
officers had TO be taken from their beats
and made to do duty in saving the life
of the would. be suicide. When the walk
commenced it was with great difficulty
that he could be kept going, and so great
was his stupor that at times he would al
most fall like stick. Frequently it
was necessary to catch him and move
him on. He reeled at times like drunk
en- man, and then again he would revive
considerably. The dresry, monotonous
walk was kept NJ without intermission
until half.past six o'clock Monday morn
ing, when the physician consented that
he should be allowed to take rest. The
life Of the young man was saved, but the
struggle for freedom from the effects OF
the drugs was severe one. To have
stopped three minutes would Rave been
fatal

A SAD AFFAIR.-At Leominster,
Mass, on the night of the 18th inst,
Mrs. j. G. Walker, lady about forty
years of age, became frightened by the
superstition that burglar was operating
in the house. She was alone with her in
FAINT, and in her fright seized her babe in
her arms and jumped from a second
story window to the ground. The shock
was 80 great that her back was broken
by the fall, and in this condition she
crawled to the nearest neighbours and
succeeded in ringing the door bell, when
she tainted, and was found in an uncon-
scious condition. Her babe was uniniur-
ed. Her injuries are such that her re-
covery is not expected. A man named
Abbott has been arrested on the suppo-
sition that he was the cause of the sad
accident. 1t appears, that Abbott who
is young man, with wife and child
had occupied part of the house in which
the Walkers resided, but had moved out
a few days previous. That night, about
II o'clock, he raped at the Walker:
door, and said he wanted his rent bill
Mrs. Walker, being alone, told him to
wait and see her husband. He was evi.
IDENTIFY drunk, and kept pounding at the
door for while, but finally went away
At l O'Clock, he returned and again
knocked. He told Mrs. Walker thai
burglars were about and that they hat
been in his part of the house. She TOLD
him he couldn't come in, and he finally
began to break in the door. Upon this
her fright increased, and she jumped out
Of the window.
