MAN FALLS IN THE STREET, AND DIES IN FEW

Granville Wier,a well known citizen, died very
suddenly Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
Having been unwell for few days he stayed q
his residence, with his father-in.law, Andrew
Armstrong, 700 Tatnall street, but feeling better
he started to go out to the Brandywine Cemetery
to see his wfes grave.
Arriving at tho city fountain at Eleventh street
and Delaware Avenue, he was taken suddenly
with an apparent dizziness OF tho head, and
reeled and fell TO the pavement. Rev. J. NJ. p.
Otis, seeing him fall, ran to his assistance and
raising up his head, asked him what Ills name
was, to which he replied g know my name"
He then asked him whore he lived, when he
said ~ know my home" =. NJ. Harrington,
Esq, and Mrs. James Bradford came to the re-
lief OF the dying man, and had him conveyed to
mis- home on settee during which time he was
entirely insenAible, and indeed it could not be

ChcckIng Undue Familiarity.
SEMINARY OIRLS RESORT TO Tricks THAT ARK
POINTED.

POINTED.
"Wsterloo," Of the st. Louis Republican,
vouches for this The girls in seminary out
in Oregon wanted TO break an old professor Of
their institution Of bad habit. It was not ex-
sctly wicked probably. for tho good old man
doubtless meant no harm by it. 1t was way he
had OF being fatherly. When young lady went
to him with . question he put up his hand In the
attitude Of blessing her dear soul, and then laid
it lovingly on her head and talked to her like Q
father. 1t may be mentioned as . merit that
he treated them all alike. II he
showed any Partially it was expressed in the
weight Of his hand and the lingering Of his
fingers among her locks. But it looked al tho
same. Some Of the girls became annoyed at
the habit They would probably not have taken
such universal dislike TO 1t il the professor had
been younger man. As it was, they entered
into a conspiracy to reform him. They made .
sort of pinoushion, and in its peculiar me-
chanism plenty Of pins were inserted
points upwards The internal machine
try 1t on. Tia pincushion was placed ON top OF
her head, aud ostensibly covered with curls and
tresses, 40 as not to dull tho point Of the joke.
Then question was conoocted for tho occa-
.sioD. She went up to the professor and demure-
ly asked whether Washington crossed the Della
ware on the ice or on horseback, and where
he evacuated Trenton. Tho professor raised
his hand and soothingly said, "Why my
dear child, -" He never finished the
sentence. His hand had been heavy on the
head. He was anxious to make point, and did
it. He seemed to take the hint 20 far ~ that
favorite girl went The internal machine was
movable, and fitted every head that waa puzzled
over question. Two or three experiments OF
this kind, and the professors bad habit was
completely cured. There may have been moth
ing wrong in it but it was just a. we'll to stop it
right there.
