Last Saturday evening, Hon. A. N.
Taylor Of Smethport, me. with terrible
accident, which must necessarily prove
fatal. 1t seems that Mr.. Taylor and
Hon. John Backus had been out riding
Saturday afternoon, when some part OF
the wagon broke, but the occupants
were saved from injury by jumping from
the carriage. Mr.. Taylor returned
home 10 the evening, and being fatigued
it is supposed he retired early. Mrs.
Taylor with her con were at the store
until II o'clock, aud when they vent to
their home they found Mr.. Taylor abed
and sleeping very soundly. Mrs. Tay-
lor was called to another part of the
house and was absent but few minu-
tes aud when she returned to the bed
room found that Mr.. T. was not 10 bed;
she then went into another room and dis
covered back door open, and on going
to the door heard her husband groaning
on the ground some fifteen feet below
Assistance was called and the injured
man taken to his room, when it was dis
covered that his back was broken. Mr..
Taylor was conscious but unable to tell
how the accident occurred. 1t is sup
posed that he was dreaming about the
carriage accident and jumped through
the door, supposing he jumping from
the wagon.
Mr.. Taylor, is gentleman of large
means and doing an extensive business.
His death will be severe loss to Smeth-
port and Mexican county, having bust
ness relations with large portion of the
population.

The Authors Of the Spelling Mania"

And now it is said that the publish
ers of Webster's Dictionaries are re-
sponsible for the recent "Spelling Bee"
excitement Whether this is true or
not, the spelling mania was,a good thing,
and it undoubtly had very excellent
influence. OF all educational accom-.
plishments, proper knowledge of the
orthrography of our own language is
certainly the most durable, and of all
deficiencies in our educational methods,
that relating to this study is the most
marked. And we were therefore going to
say that whether the spelling excitement
came about through the advertising ef-
forts of the Webster publishers or not,
one thing is quite clear, and that is that
there is nothing that has helped to
stimulate the widespread interest in the
subject. or that is so nearly a Spoilers
Vade Mscun, as Webster's Pocket Die
tionary, sold for One Dollar, aud to be
had of almost any dealer in books. 1t
is marvel of compactness, containing
about three hundred illustrations, over
eighteen thousand words, brief but COM
preheusive rules for spelling, large
number of words from Foreign
languages, phrases, proverbs, etc. in
common use. 1t is neatly bound in
Morocco, with .tucks and gilt edges. If
not otherwise obtainable it may be had
by mailifrom the publishers, Messrs. Ivi-
son, Brakeman, Taylor & Co., 138 and
140 Grand Street, New York, by en-
closing to them the price, one ollar.

browning His Sorrovs.

A man and his wife, who had been
separated for more than two years, met
on the steamboat Arrowsmith yesterday
morning. Both were going TO Coney
Island. Mr.. George Augustus Gum, the
husband, boarded the Arrowsmith for q
days excursion. In his rambles through
the boat he met his wife-his first and
only loye-and prostrated himself at her
feet. She was accompanied by her sis
ter and two other ladies. A feeling akin
to love at first SIGHT sprang up, and the
young man and the woman confOunded
those around them by their loving DEM
onstratiohs. Mutual explanations were
indulged in, and mutual misunderstand-
ings seemed to have been buried.
When the boat was fastened to the
wharf in front OF Ex-senator Norton,s
hotel, husband, wife and friends walked
up the sandy passage together. After
taking some refreshments at the hotel
the party went to the beach with the in
tention Of bathing. Gum was very anx-
ioas that his wife should 20 in bathing
with him. Indeed, he was so anxious as
To excite the suspicion of Mrs. Gunn's
sister, who urged her strongly not TO 90
into the water. Acting upon her sisters
advice she declined to batAe. Notwith-
standing the seeming rebuff, Gum hired
bathing-box and bathing-suit.
On his way to the surf equipped for
swim, Gum encountered his wife and
her friends. He said to his wife: $50
you'll not 60 in, WON'T you? know you
dare not"
Then laughing in his wife's face he
said: "What kind of mourning would
you like to wear?"
''Red, white and blue" replied the
wife, coquettishly.
81 knew you were Irish when mar.
ried you, and think your bost mourning
will be green above the red. Good-by;
you'll be widow in twenty minutes."
So saying the husband darted headlolg
into thesnrf. He spoke truly, for Gum
disappeared, and before helpcould reach
him he was drowned.
The suicide was a dentist, about Is
years old, and lived AZ Fifth avenue ana
Houston street. Senator Norton knew
him we'll, for he had been a constituent
of his. He was dentist of large and
lucrative practice, but of late, owing to
family matters, neglected it and himself
AS soon as Mr.. Norton and his partner.
Mr.. Murray, realized the intention of the
man in the water, they exercised every
effort TO rescue HIM, but in yain.-N. Y.
