INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS,

Miss Fanny Cakes, of Patchogue, on
Long Island, died recently from the effects
of ether administered by the village den
fist. She fingered unconscious fol five
days.
Mrs. Betsey Straw, of Warner, N. H.,
who lacks only few weeks of being 1O1
years old, is knitting pair of white
worsted stockings for DIR. Lambert, of New
York, and another pair for A. T. Stewart.
1t is very kind in the old lady to rcmem-
Der the poor in this way.
In Warren, r.. l., the house of Alfred
Barton was recently visited by the army
worm. His house stood on the range of
their travel, and they commenced to
mount to the roof to get over it. The
sides were black with the repulsive OBJ
jects. A chamber window being open,
some 200 of them entered and took tempo
rary possession. The prompt use of the
broom and the closing of the window left
the army to pursue its march.
AT Hopkinston, Mass, a few DAYS
ago, boy named Morris Ryan, aged six
teen, started downstairs with loaded gun
intending to shoot a cat, when his sister
Mary, aged fourteen, who desired to save
the cats life, caught her brother by the
shoulder to pull him back. At the same
time two other sisters, younger than Mary,
came to the head of the stairs. In the
scuffie between Morris and Mary the gun
went off, killing Mary and one OF the 9TH
er sisters. The third sister was also
wounded in the arm and Morris was
wounded in the leg.
"A Jew peddler of New Haven, Conn,
named Jacob Bleutholz, committed sui
eide for a very strange and seemingly
slight reason few mornings ago. 1t APP
pears that he had hired horse for the day
and started out on pcddling trip. Near
Ccnterville he was accosted by band of
four gypsies, one of whom, having a
lame horse, tried to effect trade with
Bleutholz, but he drove on, paying no at
tention to them. Stopping at house near
by, he left his team for half hour or
more while making trades with its in
mates, and on going to his team found
the gypsy's horse substituted for his own.
This misfortune seems to have completely
upset him. He returned home detected,
told his story to the livery-stable man, and
next morning took poison, which soon
produced death.
The pilots of He'll Gate and Long
Island Sound gave clambake at City
Island the other day to Congressman and
other distinguished persons residing dur
ing the summer on the sound. Among
the company was Signor Vianni, said to
be of the suite of Count Corte, the italian
Minister. After the clambake and the
company had enjoyed themselves, making
speeches and singing songs, DR.. Doremus
announced that Signor Vianni would give
a recitation in imitation of Ristori. Mr..
Vianni took his position in the center of
the group. His voice was clear and well
controlled and his gesticulation highly
dramatic, and his limbs seemed to CULVER
with passion, while the expression of his
face was startling. He finished with the
exclamation in Italian: God, who judges
all, will judge this" He then took pis-
tol from the outer pocket of his coat and,
placing it to his temple, fired. He fell
partly on his face and was perfectly mo-
tionless. The spectators exclaimed
Wonderfulv and applause commenced,
when Doremus rushed forward, exclaim-
ing: "Great God! gentlemen, he is
killed!' Many at first thought this a part
of the entertainment, but on lifting the
body the horrible truth became manifest
DR.. Ellis probed the wound and pro-
nounced the case hopeless. Vianni lived
for half an hour but never spoke. No
cause was assigned for the terrible act.
