DrOwned.-A dispatch was received here
on Saturday evening, from Atchson,
Kansas, stating that Cyrus Witherow, son
of Mr.. John Witherow, of Centre twp,
was drowned while crossing the Missouri

The river at that place is mile wide and
the water very deep, with swift current,
and therefore the body was not recovered.
The deceased was engaged in the lumber
business at that point.

A Sad Case.-Two weeks ago woman
named Martha Coggswell wife Of Anthony
Coggswell, drover died, as was supposed
in Chapmanville, Pa, and was buried.
Her husband was absent at the time. His
first knowledge of his beloved wife's death
was on Saturday week, when he returned
home. Wild with grief, he insisted on her
body being exhumed, so that he could see
the remains. This was done, and the
coffin was opened in the presence of several
friends. To the unutterable horror of all,
the body had changed its position in the
coffin, showing that Mrs. CoggswelI had
been buried while she was in a trance The
body was lying on its face. Evidence of
fearful struggle made by the unfortunate
woman when she recovered consciousness
in the coffin, we're visible. The flesh was
torn from one shoulder, and the shroud was
covered with blood. When Mr.. Coggswell
saw what a terrible fate his wife had met,
he fell senseless across the coffin, and has
been raving maniac ever since.

His horse slipped in crossing the HOrnng-

in that manner he was dragged over tho

Isle Volunteer of last week, we copy the
following:
From present indications it would ap-
pear that during the coming season there
will be many tenement houses and small
business stands vacant in Carlisle. We are
sorry to have to chronicle this unwelcome
fact and we suppose it must be attributed
to the hardness Of the times, and the great
lack of employment for mechanics and
laboring men.
Two fine colts were killed on the rail
road near Middlesex Station, ON Saturday.
They were on the track and the train pass
ed over them. We did not learn to whom
they belonged.

Egg etectOr.--Among the latest inven-
tions is an 'egg detector." 1t consists Of
neat little box in the top of which there
is an egg to be placed At the bottom of
the box there is a looking.glass. Looking
in at an opening made for that purpose, the
reflection of the good egg is seen full and
clear, while If there is a bad one in, 1t is in

asceitained, and it would seem to be very
useful article for the family.
