Died from the Bite of a Horse.

Conrad Elmendorf, of Olive, Ulster
county, who was bitten by a stallion,
died on Wednesday. The patient was at
tended by Drs. Hull and Hasbrouck.
We understand the family blame the
doctors because they did not immedi-
ately amputate the arm but we do not
think the doctors should be blamed.
They did all in their power to save the
mans life, and DR.. LoughraM himself
saws that If the arm had been taken off
the man would have died ALI the sooner,
because the muscles were tom, not only
the whole length of the arm, but also on
the breast and shoulders. The powerful
animal had actually stretched these
muscles and sinews SO that they were en-
tire4y dead. There was no cure for such
q wound. OF course the warm weather
did not help it, and the saliva of the
horse, besides, has no doubt acted as q
poison. The horse was powerful AMI
NAL, and, like nearly all stations, was
full of brute force and fire. When he
became unruly, Elmendorf took him by
the head with one hand and whipped
him on his fore legs until he partly lay
down on the ground. He continued tc
whip, and then the horse, becoming In
| furiated, sprang upon him, inhicting the
wound. The. sad affair should be {
lesson to horsemen to exercise more care
in the government of their animals O
this class.

with stealing books from the pastors
study at the Congregational Church, has
confessed to series of robberies COM
mitted there, In which the Rev. DIR.
Whiting lost about 800 and the Rev.
George Williams large number of
valuable books. There is little doubt
but that he fired the church, but this
cannot be proved as yet.
THERE was consultation at Madison,
one day last week, as to what was the
best thing to be done with the insane
prisoners at the State Prison. Superin-
tendent McDill, of Madison, and Demp-
ster, of Oshkosh, State Prison Warden
Smith, and some members of the State
Board of Charities and Reform were
present. After p full discussion it was
resolved that the safest, cheapest and
best course was to finish off a
part Of the unoccupied north wing of the
State Prison, where there are ample &C
commodations, and have the prisoners
confined and cared for there. This won't
make it desirable to feign insanity to es-
cape sentence for crime.

How a Toad Undresses.

An eye witness to the process thus
describes a toad taking off his clothes.
About the middle of July found toad
on hill of melons, and, not wanting
him to move, hoed around him. He APP
peared sluggish and not inclined to
move. Presently observed him press
ing his elbows against his sides, rubbing
downward. He appeared so singular
that I watched to see what he was up
to. After a few smart rubs, his skin
began to burst open straight along his
back. Now, said I, old fellow, you have
done it but he appeared to be uncon-
cerned, and kept on rubbing until he
had worked down his skin into folds on
his sides and hips; then, grasping one
hind leg with his hands, he hauled off
one leg of his pants the same as any
body would, then stripped the other leg
in the same way. He then took his
cast off cuticle forward, between his fore
legs into his month, and swallowed it !;
then, by raising and lowering his head,
swallowing as his head came down, he
stripped off the skin underneath until it
came to the forelegs, and then grasping
one of these with the opposite hand, by
considerable pulling stripped off the
skin. Changing hands, he stripped the
other, and by slight motion of the
head, he drew it from the throat and
swallowed the whole. The operation
seemed to be an agreeable one, and oc-
cupied but short time.-NortJte0eSt

could Bat made a somersault which
crushed the hornet In his hair, and then
he flew with both hands to his head. and
slid between two rails of the fence. Lud
threw himself fiat on his face and Law
still until he perceived that the hornets
had all disappeared, which they soon
did, either passing on or returning to
hover about their ruined home.
The boys met where pathway crossed

bathing his leg. Bat, who had heard of
such remedy, was seated on the bank,
with mass of wet mud from the stream
in pile on his head, whilst the trickling
mud ran down his neck, and the tears
streamed down his face.
"Iain't gwine fool wild dem things no

g What did you have the match SO
short for e. cried Lud, rubbing first his
hand and then his back.
The forlorn boys staid some time at the
stream trying TO make the best of their
stings, and then started home, resolving
to put the best face on the matter for
fear of a scolding. They met the Major
Oats old mastery in the road, on his way
to dinner, and telling their adventure
gained his sympathy.
The boys were really quite badly

swelling completely subsidized.

unutterable contempt.
