Hamburg, Germany, on the 26th of April
was wrecked on the Scilly Islands, near the

believed more than 300 perished. The

all the principal cities throughout the
United States, and two of them were re

SCRANToN's select council is investigating
the idea of CISternS in the portions of the
city where hydrants have not yet been estab-
lished. May Stroudsburg never experience
the necessity for the inquiry which Scranton
has. And yet the day may come when we
will wish we had built them, and the loss of
thousands in destroyed property will be the
sum of the folly of our supineness and neg
lect. We have admonitions within the last
two weeks which should be needed.

MISCELLANY.
THE MARBLEHEAD FISHERMEN,

Among the many interesting places in
the State of Massachusetts, none is more
picturesque alike in its station and the
peculiar character Of It's people than the
town Of Marhlehead.
From the infancy of the town, the
arblehead men have cast their nets in
to the STA, or anchored their stanch crafts
far away from land on the fishing banks,
and spent at least half of the year OH the
deep. At the time Of the revolution it
was the second town in the State for size,
nun boring at least five thousand inhab.
itants. The standard of resistance to
British tyranny was raised, and the fish
ermcn Of Marblehead responded to the
call with stern enthusiasm. When a
navy was created their tastes found an
outlet of more congenial nature, but at
the outset they were obliged to serve on
land, and no more fierce and valiant fish
ers were found among the continental
troops than the bronZed and stalwart re-
cruits who thronged to the front from the
leading fishing towns Of Massachusetts,
colony. At the close Of the protracted
struggle more than one-half of the IT. hab.
itants Of Marblehead were widows and
orphans. What more eloquent testimony
than this could there be to courage and
selr-devotion

Once on time little leaf was heard

When it heard of it it rustled all over

stopped signing and went on nesting and
singing; and so it grew all summer long,
till October. When the bright days of

Just then little puff: of wind came and

like a spark Of fire in the air, and let it
fall gently down under the edge of the

Il Mad Man.
From a Parts Letter.


A horrible tragedy was enacted
few days ago on the top of one of the
omnibuses which stopped at the Paris
Royal. A man on the imperialo was
observed to be in greatpain, twitching
his mouth and face so that several
about him asked him if he was ill.
When tout a coup he sprang on the
driver, biting him furiously, and then
in his rage knawing his own flcsh.-
AS you may well imagine, great con-
sternation followed. Tho omnibus was
quickly emptied of passengers; three
police mounted to the top, who, with
the aid of ropes, succeeded, only after
the widest struggles and amid cries
Of "Shoot him" "shoot him!" "shoot
hint" to secure him. That done, they
lowered the bundleupoA handbarrow
and carried it away. Two hours later
the man was dead. The wound on the
driver was cauterizcd, but dog infec-
ted by the mad froth escaped. AT
least 1000 people witnessed the occur

"SaiIy, Come Home"
ONE OF THE WAYS OF THE WORLD

ONE OF THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.
For some days past there has been an
advertisement in one of our papers
which tells sally to come home and
the past will be forgiven and forgotten,
etc. Last evening detective inter
viewed Sally in gorgeous bagnio, and
conversed with her about the appeal
from her former hearth and home, but
Sally was implacablc. She said she
was suprcmely happy where she was,
and all Of her people might proceed
with their entreaties until the crack Of
doom, and she would never resign the
"love-swects" she had TASTED in her
new gilded residence. Then the de-
tective said, "Sally, shall have to de-
tract little from your romance, and
ask you to walk to the Central Station
with me-" Then Sally became per
feet fury. She ripped her new dress,
and murdered the Kings English for
awhile, but all to no purpose, for she
was soon torn from her dream OF plea
sure and taken to the assumed abode
Of preliminary justice, where she will
have to show that sho is her own mis-
trcss under the laws of the land, and
then she can resume her coveted posi-
tion and character of mistress to an
other.
