The Brattleboro Record says that
James Roberts house caught fire on
Thursday afternoon the 18th inst, and
considerable damage was done before the
fire was extinguished. E. L. Roberts
and M. NJ. Brown were going up from
the village and when in sight of the
house saw the smoke rising from the roof
and putting their team to its best speed,
soon arrived at the house and gave the
alarm to the family, till then entirely ig-
norant of what was going on in the upper
part of the house. A supply of water
being fortunately at hand, four good
sturdy resolute boys were soon at work
upon the fire, and soon had it under
their control. 1t was thought that a
longer delay of 5 or 10 minutes would
have been too late to have saved the
building. A narrow escape from seri-

this revolver she shot herself, and lived
long enough afterwards to claim that ii
was an accident on her part, otherwise
her husband would very probably have
been held for murder, though the general
opinion is expressed that it was a suicide.
A quarrel at the supper table on the
night of the ball is also reported The
affair very naturally created quite SEN

The Eureka Sentinel, Of the Both
ultimo thus relates the manner in
which faithful husband of that
place was detected i'm an adven-
ture of amatory nature by the
partner OF his bosom: A c0nfid-
ing spouse, whose name we are
under solemn pledge never TO di-
vulge, had been on a visit to
friends in California. In her last
letter to her devoted husband she
said she would not return for two
months. This was "duck soup
for him, and he straightway began
to have his hair fricasseed and his
moustache waxed every evening.
In short, he began to look his
prettiest and by keeping up his
biggest ticks in that line, it was
not many days before he had sue
ceeded in impressing "lone
widow" (of doubtful standing,
however,) in his neighborhood
that he was full of affection for
her, and that nothing would afford
him more unalloyed bliss than to
be permitted to comfort and soothe
her during the absence of his bet
ter-half. We can't follow them in
all of the dips, spurs and angles of
what transpired. but it is sufficient
to say that the matter was finally
fixed up on an affinity basis,
and things went swimmingly.
The lonely widow went over reg
ularly each night to get her aching
brow soothed, and to set the house
and things of the loving husband
to rights. In truth she speedily
assumed the role of houskeeeper
and general boss of the works.
This blissful state of things had
not proceeded far when the absent
wife suddenly turned up at the
slumbering hour of three in the
morning, direct from California
by car and stage. Some one had
kindly dropped her a note con-
corning the hilarity on the back
seats at her home, and hence it
was that she put in an appearance
unhearlded. What transpired inn
mediately after she reached the
house at that unusual hour the
Sentinel does not attemptsto de-
scribe, but assures its readers that
the entertainment was of the most
lively and entertaining nature.

Street Talk.

There is an epidemic of slang
Men use it, boys shout t,and what
is far worse, young women and
girls speak it. The fact that it
comes from the "street " does not
prevent its entrance into the par
Tor. In spite of its vulgarity, it is
cherished by those who claim to
be genteel. Parents and children
should Danish it from society,"
This incident may teach the way
of eradicating the bad habit!
"Learn to talk like gentleman
my boy! 1 am sorry to hear you
talk street talk. Do quit it,"
"What is street talk, papa ?"
"What did you just now say to
sister?
81 told her to be quiet"
"But you said hush up and said
it very loud and rudely. What
did you, ten minutes ago, say to
Martha ?"
81 told her to go out of my
way ?"
"But you did not say it half so
nicely as that. You said, "Get out
of this" And / think you called
her some NAME"
Harry looked ashamed, but he
answered.
Il called her dirty snick.'
Just so. That is what mean by
street talk. All such coarse, vul-
gar words, and especially the
rough tone and manner you hear
on the street, they belong to those
boys who have never been taught
any better, and to those men who,
though knowing better, yet do not
care anything about the better
way. But my boy should never
use street talk

CAUGHT ON A SHAFT.
A Struggle for Life i'm the
Ton of q Mill.

The Jackson (Mich.) Patriot has
the following:
Monday night Mr.. A. ID. Cor
nell, a miller, employed in the
Etna mills, met with severe ac-
cident, and one that only his
strength and presence Of mind
prevented from being tragedy.
About midnight some gearing in
the extreme peak of the mill be-
gan to creak, and Mr.. Cornell went
up to oil it. 1t was in low part
of the room, well under the caves,
and in applying the oil he was
obliged to reach over shaft.
While STOPPING down key on
the shaft became caught in the
breast of his shirt, and about the
time he was through his job had
taken up all slack, and held him
down and was drawing him still
tighter. He was thrown over the
shaft, his light went out, and then
in the dark he coolly placed him.
self, and left the shaft slowly tear
off his clothing by strips, and the
undressing operation was not del
icately performed either.
1t would not do for him to
struggle much, as on either side
was gearing within few inches
of him that seemed waiting to
seize on member and draw him
into its destructive embrace Grad
ually his clothes parted company
with him, causing severe pain by
the roughness of their taking off,
and at last he felt that he was no
longer in the tolls. Slowly he
drew himself back and, wiping
the heavy drops from his brow,
brought out there by the agoniz-
ing strain of body and mind dur
ing the trying ordeal, he started
to grope his way down stairs, for
he knew that cries of help would
be unavaiiing and would not be
heard below.
On hands and knees he made his
way. narrowly missing falling to
the floor below, his outstretched
hand going over the aperture,
warning him of the danger, and
at the time serving to tell him
where he was. He crawled along
under shafting and around posts,
feeling his way along till he reach
ed the head of the stairs, when he
staggered to his feet and got down
to the ground floor, and appeared
to his fellow workmen, pale and
trembling, clad in the light and
airy costume of shirt collar and
the waistband of his pants.
His first remark was: "Well,
boys, I've stopped that squeaking."
Explanations were soon made, and
he was sent home. DIR. McLaugh-
lin was called in, found that he had
dislocated his shoulder, and the
inside of his breast and arm were
denuded of the skin, and badly
infiamed by contact with the re-
volving shaft. These, with the
shock, were the only injuries re-
ceived, and were soon dressed, and
he was put to bed to recuperate.

Teach resurrection lessons, each in turn,
Which we are quick to learn.
Our days die thus and we-their live, with

Beyond life's lowering clouds and titful CLEANS,
lis dark realities and bright dreams,

No cheek grown pale through penury or care,
No spirits crushed beneath the woes they bear,
No signs for bliss untaiste,l.
No sad farewell is heard,
No lonely wall for loving ones departed,
no dark rcn4orse Is there DER memories stirred.
No smile ef scorn, DO harsh or cruel word
