The above is sorrowful news to the
many friends of the deceased in this
place to whom she became endeared in
her residence with us. She with her
husband came to Somerset from Dun.
kirk. n. Y. in February 1858. Her
husband associated with 7. Spencer Still
man, having taken a contract of grading
Is miles of the S. d H. V. r. r. and
laying the track on the entire line 100
miles and with other business arrang-
ments made, she felt as if this might
become her permanent home for life,
and she at once identified herself as one
with US and was ever ready to aid and
assist in every good word and work.
Her gentle, unassuming, lady, like man.
ners and kindness of heart won her hosts
of friends, and of all the strangers who
then thronged our town, none took a
deeper hold and place in the hearts of
| our people, At the close of operations
t on the s. & H. v. r. r. in 1856, she
retired with her husband TO Dunkirk
where they resided to the time Of her
death. To the grief stricken, bereaved
husband and family will the heart felt
symphathies of our people be given.

Discovery Of q Race OF Pigmies.

Bayard Taylor, in letter from
Egypt, gives an account Of the recent
discovery Of race Of pigmies in Gen.
trail Africa. Speaking Of two who are
in the care Of the Khedive, he says {:
" The little fellows looked at me with
bright, questioning, steady eyes, while
I examined and measured them. Tub
BILE was forty-six inches in height, his
legs being twenty-five inches, and his
body, with the head, twenty four,
which is somewhat better proportioned
than is usual in the savage tribes. His
head and arms were quite symmetrical,
but the spine curved in remarkably
from the shoulders to the hip joint,
throwing out the abdomen, which al
ready much ,distended-probably from
their diet Of beans. The head was
erect, the shoulders on the line of
gravity, and there was no stoop in the
posture Of the body, as in South Africa.
Tubble measured rs inches around the
breast and % around the abdomen.
His hands and feet were coarsely formed,
but not large; only the knee joints be-
ing disproportionately thick aud clumsy.
Th" facial angle was fully up to the
average. There was a good develop
ment Of the brain, fine, intelligent eyes,
and nose SO flattened that in looking
down the forehead from above, one saw
only the lips projecting beyond it. The
nostrils were astonishingly wide and
square. The complexion was that of
dark mulatto.'

Potato Bugs.

On the 10Th of July last, Mr.. Mich
ael Collins, while engagedin digging po-
=tatoes on the farm Of 7. TAFT, Esq,
captured number Of potato-bugs and
put them in an empty bottle, closing
the mouth to prevent their escape.
He placed the bottle BY a'post on the
ground, making the remark that he
would ascertain how long the Cit
ters would live. anyhow" The sum
u,er passed away and the winter follow
ed, bringing 20 thought Of the incar-
,ceratcd bugs. Last week: in passing,
Mr.. Collins observed the bottle and
picked it up. 1t contained the intact
though n,otlonlcss forms Of the potato
top destroyers. In the caprice of the
moment he took the bottle to the house
and held it over the FIRE. Immense
was his astonishmcnt on perceiving the
bugs take to themselves legs and walk
In few moments the interior OF the
bottle was a writhing mass OF Color;..
dos. Eight months without food, ex-
posed to the extremes of summer and
winter, and still living. This statement
is fully vouched for and shows W hat u

The Father of Forty .One Children.

John Hepner, of Heading, Penn,
claims to be the father of torty-one
children by three wives. The Eagle
says: He was born in 1915, and
twenty-five years afterwards-l840-
he married his first wife in Germany.
They lived happily together for eight
years, when she died. During that
time they were blessed with seventeen
weIl-formed children; hence at the age
Of 33 Mr.. Hepner found himself the
father Of quite an extensive family
The little ones came on earth as follows ::
Two pairs of twins, four sets Of triplets,
and one at single birth, seventeen in all.
The children of this marriage are now
all dead. Mr.. Hepner remained wild
over but short time. for in less than
year afterward he married another fair
daughter Of Germany. He was made
the happy father Of another child in
the month Of February 1910. On
Christmas following, in the same year,
another was born unto him. Then they
were blessed with twins five times in
succession, and subsequently three
more children at single birth were born
unto them, making fifteen in ALL His
second wife and himself lived together
nine years aud then she died. BY the
two marriages Mr.. Hepner at the age
Of ~, had become the father of thirty
two children, of whom only two are
now living. Twenty years ago Mr..
Hepner and his second wife came to
this country. He was then 80 years Of
age. Three years afterwards his wife
died. Mr.. Hepner, not desiring to live
in strange land entirely alone, select
ed third wife in 1858. They are
still living happily together, and during
the sixteen years of their married life
nine children have been born unto them,
each by single birth, making forty-one
in all. His third wife was widow
with one child when they married.
Hence forty-two children have called
him father OF the third set Of
of children only three are living, making
five living in all, together with the ex-
ira one belonging to his third wife"
