A Coop CLIMB.-In Charles Reade's |
novel OF "a Good Fight" there is
character of an athlete who was extreme
ly fond Of climbing ropes pendent from
lofty buildings, and used to astonish the
folks by his daring, strength and skill
They were probably not more surprised
than were some employees Of the Ray
mond & Ely. Yesterday some ladies
expressed a desire to inspect the work
ings of the mine, and accordingly we're
CALAMITY escorted into the lower depths
by Mr.. T. j. Andrews, the foreman.
After satisfying their curiosity the con-
versation turned upon the means of
egress and the fatigue and danger of
climbing the ladders with which the
shaft is furnished. Whersupon one of
the fair visitors said that she
believed that she could climb the
ladder herself After some bad
image Mr.. Andrews promised the
lady that he would present her with
a handsome silk dress if she climbed
from one of the levels to another alone,
a perpendicular hight of two hundred
feet. The challenge was no sooner made
than accepted, and the dauntless lady
actually climbed the ladder for the spec
flied two hundred feet, task that few
men except miners would care to under
take. Mr.. Andrews says he does not
mind giving the prize FOR the sake of
seeing SO much feminine nerve, strength
and courage.
DEAD.-We regret greatly to learn of
the death of T. W. Abraham, who for some
time had been the postmaster at this
place. He died at Cleveland. Ohio, on
the 2Sth Of April of consumption. Mr..
Abraham was known and respected by %
very large circle of friends who will re-
greet to hear of his decease. He was o
practical printer and was a proficient in
the business, but failing health cnused
him to seek some other employment. BY
the exertlon OF some friends he secured
the appointment of postmaster, where his
urbane manners and accommodating
spirit made him general favorte. Mr..
Abraham was born at Wellsville, Ohio,
and was about 40 years of age.
