train arrived at Norwich, the gentleman
alighted and went up town, shadowed
closely by the other man until he found
q policeman, when, pointing out the sus-
pected party, he inquired of the officer
if he knew that man. "Know him Yes,
that's one of our ministers, Rev, Mr.,
pastor of the--Church."

story about Norwich clergyman who
supplied country pulpit last Sunday,
and was obliged on his return home
Monday morning to travel by stage
coach about three miles to the railway

something rattle in the gentleman's car

of steel striking together. Putting the
gentlemans reserved manner, keen ap.
pearanee, and the pminous sounds from
the earpet-bag together, the driver con-
clnded that his passenger was first

A JOKE THAT CosT HIM HIS LIFE
M. I. Bowden, school teacher at St.
james, La, filled pocket with adver-
Using limitations Of greenbacks, and
when somebody at the village store of
fered to bet on something he drew out a
handful saying, Make it $500 and I'll
take you" The most of the bystanders
saw the character Of the supposed money
and laughed at the joke. Not so Karl
Ahlberg, an ignorant Swede, who re.
galded the bills as genuine and the
amount as fortune. Ahlberg enticed

a shovel, secured the worthless roll of
paper, buried the body and fled.

A STRANGE FATALITY.

In course of time, the law took its
course, and young Prescott was executed
by the sheriff, and the Pembroke part OF
the tragedy was terminated. The hus-
band Of the sheriff's daughter, who was
away at sea during the trial and impris-
onment of the culprit, and its attending
fatalities, had now landed, and hurried
home to meet his wife and expected
children. He stopped on the way, and
In looking over paper in a hotel, saw
for the first time an account of the Penn
broke murder, the attempt at lynching,
the birth Of his child, and the sad death
of his wife and young daughter. He
remained widower for four or five years
and then married again, resolving that
his second wife should not be left alone.
while he was away so much So on his
next voyage he took her with him in his
ship, and the ship was run down by a
larger vessel and all on board were
drowned. The boy that was born in the
Jail was named Robert Green Chase, and
grew up, being educated for the Episco-
pal clergy, and settled in Philadelphia.
he married and had one daughter.
About ten years ago Mr.. Chase and his
wife, accompanied by their little daugh-
ter, while al watering place, went out
for days boating, against the wishes of
the little girl, who begged of them not
to go; storm arose, the boat capsized,
and the little girl alone was rescued.
She is now living in Philadelphia.
Here is material for story, and an
illustration of the adage that truth is
stranger than fiction"

From the Bennington News
MaferinI for q Story.

The First Pembroke Murder-a Relic of the
Ahair-How Death Followed "A Family
A "Reminiscences of New Hampshire Forty
Years Ago.
The recent horrible murder Of the
girl, Josie Langmaid, at Pembroke, N.
H., is but a repetition of one quite as
horrible, which was perpetrated on al
most the same spot about forty-three
years ago, the victim then being young
married lady by the name Of Cochrane,
and the perpetrator Of the crime a young
man who was employed in Cochrane's
family, by the name of Prescott. The
affair at the time created, if anything,
more excitement than the Langmaid
horror The parties lived in farm
house some ways from the village of Sun
cook. 1t was in the summer Of the year,
and the young man Prescott (about 10
years of age, who was out in the field
moving, came back to the house-the
husband being away in town-and told
the woman, blooming young female of
about twenty-five, that he had come
across some very fine berries, and if she
would bring out pail they could pick
mess" She went out with him, and
while engaged in picking the berries a
fendish desire seized him, and he APP
preached her with improper proposals.
She struck at him with her pail, and
told him she should tell her husband of
his designs on his return, and he would
have him arrested. The young man, not
over bright, sat down upon a stone and,
as he afterwards confessed, cried, saying,
" Well, ! suppose | will be put in Jail
for it, and don know but what I'd as
soon be hung as to go to Jail " He
then got up and Selling huge club, he
beat the woman upon the head till she
was dead, and then, after ravishing her
person, he dragged her lifeless form into
the bushes and fed The corpse of the
woman was found after long search,
and in due course Of time the young
man was arrested and confessed the
crime. Mr.. Armstrong; uncle was!then
the Sheriff of Hopkinton, and kept the
Hopkinton Jail, residing in partof the
building with his wife and only daugh-
ter, young woman, the wife of a sea
captain by the name Of Robert Chase,
the young wife being the mother of two
children, one girl about a year and a
half old, and little son of only two
days. The populace was so excited over
the murder, it was resolved to lynch
young Prescott, there being no longer
any doubt as to his guilt, as he had con
fessed the crime. On the night that the
lynching was to be carried out, the sher-
if and his wife were away out of town,
and the young mother was left alone
with the keys, in that large jail. The
attack was made by the Infatuated popu-
lace, but the frail jailer had everything
barricaded, and they could not gain their
object. But in consequence of the fright
and excitement at the attempted lynch
ing, the young mother was thrown into
convulsions and died that night in the
most intense agony. The baby lived
and grew up to be man. The little
girl died in about six weeks after her
mother, and the grave was then opened
and the child laid by its mothers side.

geological age of the river period was
determined by Lesquereux from speci-
mems of vegetation, extinct, collected in
the survey of the ancient rivers; speci-
mems indicating a flora Of the Pliocene

Does il Pay TO be Surly!

II was only one customer that the
surly man snubbcd. The customer asked
for ten cents worth of wire. The surly
man said something to him about the
trouble of cutting off 50 small piece,
and sneered ut him for being such a Gus
toner. He cut it off from the roll and
the customer who had intended TO buy
some hinges and bolts, and two or three
locks, which might have amounted in all
to five dollars. concluded he would deal
at some other store for the rest. He paid
for his ten cents worth of wire, and
pushed on to the next hardware store.
The surly man did not even bid him
good day. -,
That one customer seemed very small
affair to the dealer because he wanted To
purchase such a limited amount OF mer-
chandise. He forgot that man does
not ask in one breath for all lac wants.
He forgot that the small customer OF to-
