KUmOrS of the Press,

A Christian weekly lays it down as a
rule, in a long article, that nothing funny
should be put in newspaper. 1t doesn't
seem to follow the rule, however. The long
article created broad grin all over the
country, and aroused widespread inquiry
as to whether its writer was fool on pur-
pose or merely by accident.
Mr.. r. A. Snow, Of Medina, New York,
having been deserted by his wife,publishes
the fact in the village papers, saying in
conclusion: II now forbid any woman
stepping on my premises"
1t is curious how extravagant and reck.
less some people are. Lunps of ice dropped
before Detrsit gates are now left there all

"Folks are making great fuss just cause
l broke pauper's ribs. What was l hired
for, I'd like to know-to sit around and do
nothing?"
For 80 cents Detroit astrologist pre-
diets one husband and moderately happy
life. For dollar she predicts a second
husband worth a million dollars, with dead
loads Of happiness.

said when he looked at his ton of coal.
All the new hats have wings on 'em,
There's no difference of \ inion between

taking it. He's a candidate.

Fatal Game Of Croquet.

The Titusville (Penn.) Herald gives tn
particulars of the singular accident in tha
city on tn. 40th inst, by: which gentle
man lost his fife while engaged in friend
ly game of cfoqust. 1t says: "Nr. Reu'
ben P. Benton and Mr.. ]. D. Strickland
were engaged in game Of croquet on the
grounds in the rear of the, Warren and
Venango passenger depot. Both gentle
man we're on the most friendly terms, and
they were in tbs habit of playing on these
favorite grounds almost daily Mr.. Strick.
land made mis-play, and, as commonly
occurs on such occasions among the boys,
he peevishly attempted to throw his nal
let after the ball. By some unforeseen
chance the handle of the mallet caught in
the sleeve of his ceat and it was hurled in
the direction Of his companion, striking
him on the right temple, and telling him
to the ground. The accident was witnessed
by number of bystanders, who at the
time did not imagine that Mr.. Benton was
seriously injured. His prolonged insensi-
bility, however, created considerable alarm,
and restoratives were Intellectually applied
Mr., Strickland ran in great haste for medi
cal aid and a carriage, but before his re.
turn the unfortunate Benton was carried to
his room in an insensible condition. Drs.
Moody and Barr were on hand almost i'm
mediately upon his arrival, and made =
searching examination of the wound. 1t
appears THAT the blow, which was struck on
the right temple, was not sufficient to cause
a fracture of the skull at that point, but as
is often the case, produced an efusion Of
blood at the base Of the brain. Such an
injury is almost inevitably fatal, and the
patient fingered on until 6 o'clock P. NJ.
wher he expired without recovering con-
ciousness."
