MAN RUN Own. A team belong

Wednesday, got away from it's driver
and ran off. Soon getting disengaged
from the sled but still running wildly,
they overlook sled loaded with lum-
Der on the rear ofwhich Mr.. Robt.
Mccormack was seated while his
boy was in front driving. Startled
by the runaways coming up behind,
Mr.. McCormack's team made q sud-
den spring, throwing him off in such q
manner that Piatt's team ran right
over him. Young Mccormack had all
he could do for the moment to con-
troll his own team, and when he had
them stopped his father had gained
his feet and was coming to get on his
sled again, which he cid without as
sistance. But on reaching home he
was found to be badly injured about
the head--so badly as to be helpless
and speeches., in which condition he
remained number Of days. DR.. En-
sign was called, and we are glad to
learn from him that Mr.. Mccormack is

sidered out Of danger.

One H. w. Mcdonald was in

in this county Sheriff Shearer has
been on the look out for him ever

Saturday. On this occasion MELON

by coming to Upton and indulging
in big spree. The Sheriff was alb

to get away; and when the sheriff re-
turned about midnight they trans
fsrred him from the Palmer House to

to await events. In the same cell
with Mcdonald were two pitiabie
specimens jim" gibbering
idiot who appeared here last fall
from whence or how no one could
learn, and Bob Kelso, victim of
frequent and terrible fits which have
destroyed his mind. Both these lat
ter are paupers, but it is not consid-
cred safe to keep them 1T the Poor
House.
Only one more cell is left, and that
was occupied by poor old Holloway,
and, at the time Of our visit, his wife
and child. There is certainly moth
ing either in Holloway's appearance
or conversation that would lead the
casual observer to suppose him even
"emo'ionally" insane. He is a man
past the middle age. the fringe of
locks surrounding his considerable
badness being quite grey. His en-
tire aspect, no less than the cut Of
his garments, is distinctive of the
society Of Friends 70 which he be-
longs. lie thinks he is prosecuted
for righteousness sake, and threatens
to write "'true story if justice
isn't done him before long" One
thing is certain, the man is not
vicious, and it seems hard that he
should be thus treated as a common
criminal. But what else under the
circumstances can be done, is the
question as yet unsolved.

GRADuATEp.-The tribune Of the

the commencement exercises of Belle

took place in New York City the
day previous. Among the list Of the
one hundred and ninetv-four who at
this time graduated from this cele-
brated institution. we find the names
Of II. H. Maynard and S. 0. Stock
slayer, both of this county. DR.. May
nard, as is we'll known, has long been
in successful practice here; and after
thus spending months in extending
his scientific knowledge and acquaint-
ing himself with the newest discov-
cries and methods known to the pro-
fession, he returns to give his old
constituency the benefit Of added ex-
perience and culture.
DR.. Stockslager began his prepare
ton for his chosen vocation 1t the
iowa University. continued it at Rush
College, Chicago, and now has con-
cluded by taking his diploma from
one Of the first nedical schools in the
land. Wherever he may locate he
will begin the practice of his pro-
fession under the most favorable
auspices.

Why?

Iowa has two thousand.Gr
of Patrons. OF these eleven hun
dred are in arrears for dues to the
National Grange, and why? The
probable solution is that the farm
ers, who earn and pay money,
have stepped the supplies
of the side walk farmers
mers who want to spend the mon
ey, They are beginning to learn
that the National Sponge is an
expensive and useless appendage;
the independent country Oranges
are all that Is necessary for their
purpose.A nd they are right. Let
the Patrons think. and rely upon
themselves, and cease paying mon
ey. to higher Oranges and they
will soon get rid or the excrescence,
and find themselves in better con-
dition, and that large per cent, Of
expenses they have been paying is
unnecessary. 1t may compel some
shirk to work or starve, but that
will do no harm. To this COM
plexion it will come at last or we

Mrs. TiItOn I'm Court.

BROOKLYN, April 2s.--Mrs Til
ton was present at the opening OF the
court to-day for the first time in two
months, creating surprise among
those present. Gen. Tracy resumed
witness stand and testified he had
consulted with Woodruff late in II

sired him to give some advice on the
Woohull publication. Mr.. Tracy

er. The appointment was made be-
tween Woodruff and witness.
At the interview Woodruff, Moul-

papers, first one wasa letter OF apollo
gy or contrition----Moulion said it
was his own handwriting, and was
only a memorandum Of conversation

ter looks like as If Beecher had at
tempted the virtue of Mrs. Tilton and

Embarrassing.

A curious affair happened at a
grist mill in Westmoreland c0un-
ty, Penn, one day last week. A
woman who had occasion to visit
the miller on business went up
stairs with that person to view
the wonders of the machinery,
ana while examining the boiling
machine very intenteatly she APP
preached chat treacherous inven-
ton too closely, the consequence of
which was that her dress was
caught between two cogwheels, the
iron teeth of which began to gath
er in her clothing in slow, but
frightfully systematic and sure
manner The miller saw the dam
ger, and being a very strong and
robust individual, he Immediately
clasped the terrified woman in his
brawny arms, and bracing his feet
against an upright post, there en-
sued struggle between him and
the boiling machine as to which
should have the woman. 1t was
decided in favor of the miller, how
ever, who by a herculean jerk, got
her loose, and after the excite
ment was over end the woman sat
down, there was an awkward en-
barrassment, which the miller
soon dispelled by darling out and
sending his wife up with bundle
OF clothing.

Mobile Outdome.

They are having a sensation in
MOBILE about man committing
suicide by cutting off his head, and
then hiding it so effectually that
they have not been able to find il
since. This is not so wonderful a
circumstance as our local relates,
that happened at the Saul. Ste.
Marie, Lake Superior, last sum-
mer. An Indian there, who had
lived unhappily with fifty or sixty
differentsquaws, determined upon
suicide. Desiring that no one
should be able to identity any por-
ton of him, he cut off both his legs
and carried them about five miles
into the woods, on foot and alone
He barred them, and then cut off
both his arms, which he carried
some five miles further and buri-
ed. Then eating out his tongue,
that he might beunable to tell any
whom he might meet who he was.
he proceeded several miles fur h.
err, chanting his death-song as he
went. He finally cut off his head,
and after amusing himselffor some
time kicking it about as a football,
making the woods ring with his
shouts of merriment, he hid it in
the trunk of tree, and then digg-
ing a grave with his own hands,
he got in, covered himself up, and
planted a very handsome tomb
stone at the head of This grave with
his own hands. Where is your
Mobile man now?

Dancing school Days--Trib.
butte to a Fellow Pupil.

In writing "reminiscences, one
recalled fact naturally reminds Of
another belonging to the same

becomes, to change the figure,
centering point for whole clusters
of facts, which, but.for that word,
would have remained forever DOR

Such was the mention of the
name of Kroesen't tavern, in my
last. I stated that it was head
quarters for most gatherings of a
public nature, such as the court
martial referred to last week. This
was true as to all such as were not
SO large as to require the more spa
ious courthouse. At the day in
reference, i'm the then "t0tOa of
Martinsburg" there was no King
Street or Wysong hall to relieve
the courthouse in cases ofcrewded
assemblages other than religious.
These, of course, were convened in
some church. There being no hall
suitable for such a purpose, a dane
ing-scheol was conducted in a large
upper room at Kroesen's, known
as the ball-rom. There Enoch C.
Breeder (no doubt well remember
ed by old residents who tripped
the light-fantastic toe, as among
my dancing schoolmates) taught
the young disciples of Tel pischore
to chase or balance which latter
word, when given the long-drawn
French sound of 6ah-iang-sai,
would puzzle the most expert SPELL
er at one of the ''bees" of to-day,
and yet our dancing-master was
careful to Frencnily it as much as
possible. l believe it is pronounc-
ed now as spelled, and given the
plain English sound, even in the
dancing-schcol.

A New Way DO Get Out of
Debt.

The debt Of the city Of Savannah
is So, 900, 140, the annual interest on
which amounts to $25l 04o. A cor
respondent OF the Meas regards
this as burdensome and fears finan-
cial embarrassment in the future.
The profits of insurance in that ci-
BY are 5000, 900 a year. That would
pay the whole debt in fifteen years.
He, therefore, wants the city to be-
come the insurer OF the property
within It's limits.
