not whirling as one might think it

not whirling as one might think it
would, but going as straight in its
course as an arrow. The noise was
deafening. You would see-I saw it all
in second-a tree or house standing,
and then the half sight of It's bend
ing or topping over, and then it would
disappear, whirling in and out of the
flood. Spellman's factory seemed,
though, to be lifted right eff its foun-
dations, and sailed down on top of the
swollen river that now looked like a
long black slippery serpent wriggling
down the valley with frightful velocity.
1 followed along as swiftly as possible,
and it seemed as though the whole vii
lage ran away from me. But it was
engulfed and swept away. l saw tall
chimney standing alone, and a man
hanging head downward from a big
hole in it, and saw other bodies that
had been pushed fiat against things too
strong to give way, and remained there
crushed all of a heap,and dead Of course.
1t may seem improbable. but I could
swear that 1 heard the shouts and
screams of men and women above the
roar of the torrent, but it made all sorts
of noises and sounds, and there was a
wind with i'll thought created by it
for before tree would be struck its
branches would move away from the
waters as with wind or from a pre-
sentiment of what was coming. AZ
terward l heard some people say that
there had seemed something the mat
ter with the morning before the dread
full disaster, as if it had been foreshad-
owed in their feelings or in the air its
elf. But it is impossible to tell accur-
ately of what l heard and, for what
was as if in a flash of lightning where
everything was picture.
Afterward I went below and assisted
in getting the bodies OF the dead out Of
mud and dirt and debris, and on my
way to the village saw sights enough to
last me till I die. Two children were
but one was headless and
driven under legs of the other. which
were jammed into the earth behind in
a way that seems impossible. 1t was
a hateful sight. But the wreck Of the
villages that 1 saw has been described
by your reporters, whom l saw and
who asked me to write this letter.

convenient place, when down my ont
leg went, through pipe hole, whicf
had been covered with paper, up to my
hip
Now, enc part of me was up stairs
while the longest part of me was in thu
kitchen.
Asmy leg was very long, it reached
shelf that was occupied by dishes
pans, coffee pots, etc., and turning 1t
over, down invent with tremendou;
crash.
The girls had not yet retired, and
could hear them laugh, fit to split their
sides.
l felt awfully ashamed, and was
scared until my heart was in my throat
for l expected the old man every mo-
ment.
1 extracted my leg from the con-
founded hole just in time, for the old
lady looked into the kitchen from the
room door, and asked what all that
noise was about?
The girls put her OF as best they
could, and went to bed. while John
was strangling himself under the COW
ers to keep from laughing aloud.
We soon went of into the land of
dreams with hope Of waking early. 1
wish could tell you my dreams, but
it would take too long. One moment 1
would fancy myself beside Sadie, sip
ping nectar from her heaven-bedewed
lips, and the next l would be flying
from the old man, while he would be
iourishing his cane over my head.
This all came to an end by John Civ.
ing me kick.
On waking up and locking around, L
saw Johns eyes as big as my fist, while
the sun was beaming in at the window
What to do now, we couldn't tell, for
We heard the cid man having prayers in
the kitchen.
John looked out of the window and
said we could get down over the porch
roof.
"Get out and dress as soon as posi-
ble," he said.
So, in my hurry, my foot got fastened
i'm the bed clothes, and out tumbled,
head foremost, turned oyer, and down
the steps, until struck the door, which
was fastened by wooden button, and
giving way, out l rolled, right in front
Of the old man.
He threw up both hands, and cried,
"Lord have mercy on us!" for he eyi-

The old lady screamed until you could
hear her mile.
1 was SO scared and bewildered thatI
couldn't get up at once. It was warm
weather and didn't have anything on
but shirt. go
When l heard the girls snickering, it
made nae mad, and l jumped up and
rushed out of the door, leaving the
greater part of my shirt on the old iron
door latch.
Off started for the barn, and when
half way through the dog set up a
howl and went for me.
When I got to the barDyard had to
run through flock of sheep, and,
among them, an old ram, who backed
OF little and started for me. With
one bound escaped his blow, sprang
into the barn, and began to climb up
the logs into the NOW, when an old
mother hen pounced upon my legs
picking them until they bled.
1 threw myself upon the hay, and,
after John had slid down the porch in
to hogshead Of rainwater, he came to
me with one of my boots, my coat, and
one of the legs Of my pants.
He found me completely prostrated.
Part of my shirt, my hat, one leg of my
pants, my vest, stockings, necktie and
one boot, was left behind.

A lady desiring to purchase pair Of

Fashionable Heart Disease

Mrs. DR.. Lyman, in a lecture recently
delivered in the ladies' course, at Asso-
citation Hall, New York, stated the fol-
lowing:
Heart disease, among both ladies and
gentlemen, 10 the one most in vogue at
present. A synonym for pseudo heart
disease is indigestion. False modes Of
dress, by crowding the heart, cause it to
beat irregularly. Remedy the dress,
and the heart will healthfully perform
its functions. The heart is almost the
last organ to become diseased, because
it has a great work to do. Nature made
it strong and supplied it with as few
nerves as possible. Women who faint,
as rule, have too small cavities for
heart and lungs. Painting is provis-
ion of nature for the reinstatement of
the body, by allowing the heart brief
respite. When the stomach. is unduly
distended by food, the heart is Crowded
and complains. Good, straight shoulders
are highly essential to woman. If she
possesses an erect form, woman's
heart has better opportunity to beat
evenly and healthfully. Many mistake
a palpitating sensation of the muscular
wall of tina. portion of the stomach
nearest the heart for an affectation of
the heart. Adipose or fatty accHmu-
lation around the heart will often rem
der its beating labored or heavy. The
heart is not, however, diseased; /. is
only working under difficulties. Pros
tration also affects the beating of the
heart, causing it to pulsate more rapid
ly. Strength will remove this difficult
ty. 1t is a theory with some physicians
that in natural life the heart beats
only given number Of times. If this
be so, running up and down stairs, in
tense excitement, hurry, by increasing
the number of heart-beats in minute,
Jiminishes the length of ones life. 1t
is well-known fact that race-horse
is not long-lived, because, having such
a demand made upon the action Of its
heart, the heart-muscles wear out SOON
er than they otherwise would.

CANINE SAGACITY.


From Northampton Letter.
Among the multitude of singular and
touching events incidental to this ca
lamity is one showing the remarkable
sagacity and intelligence of the canine
race which is worthy of record. Col
onel Hayden, one Of the sons Of the
late Lieutenant-Gevernor Hayden,
owns a noble dog of the st. Bernard
species. He has for a long time been a
village favsrite and pet of the school
children, who were taught near the
Hayden residence. He was as punctual
at his recesses as the foremost child.
The little ones could adorn his tail with
fancy ribbons, wind their jumping ropes
all around him, and threw him upon
the ground captive; send him to fetch
sticks, push him off the bank into the
river, harness him up and run the streets
with switch in hand, and, in fact, do al
most anything with him, and yet he
was their close friend and protector.
It is said of him that he had special
liking for little girls, and that enc of
his greatest favorites was the little Bir-
mingham girl who was swept down
and lost with her father, mother, and
all her brothers and sisters. A pat from
her hand was seemingly enough to re-
pay him for waiting until school was
out, when he would almost invariably
accompany her home. But the mastiff
had another friend In Mr.. Eli Bryant,
the father of Mrs. Col. Hayden, and a
gentleman something over sixty years
of age. He was delighted to be with
him, uneasy when he was away, and
always when lie could he would ac-
company the old gentleman in his walks
about the village. Mr.. Bryant was
among the victims of the disaster and
SO were many others of the dogs old
friends. 1t is said that ne human being
every expressed keener sense of the
general surrounding sadness than he.
His movements, even in the hustle and
confusion of the occasion, were notice.
able. He went to the school house, but
came almost directly home again. He
introduced himself upon the domain Of
the family, and was in every part of the
house snuffing about. An old pair of
bosts of Mr.. Bryapt's attracted his re-
peated attention, as did also several ar
ticles of clothing of his lost friend.
Sunday afternoon he started out and
followed the searchers for bodies on the
