DEATH AT FUNERAL-A LADY In
sTANTLY KILLED.-On Saturday last the
remains of Mr.. Isaac Bowers, who was
killed while walking the railroad track
in Illinois, were inferred at Roaring
Springs, Blair county, Mr.. John S.
Hetrick and his wife, of South Wood
berry township, we're in attendance at
the funeral, travelling in buggy. On
their return and within a short distance
of Roaring Springs they were met by
a young Mr.. Fox, Of Woodbury., who
was also riding in buggy, and driving
pretty fast. Each party thought that
they had turned out enough, but this
proved not to be so, as the hind wheels
of both buggies caught, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hetrick were thrown violently to
the ground, tho latter falling on her
head. AZ soon as Mr.. Hetrick recov-
cred sufficiently from the shock he pick
ed up his wife aud spoke to her, and
upon receiving no reply he found her
quite dead. This is certainly very sad
affair, and the suddenly bereaved family
has the sympathy of the entire commu-
nity.-Bedford Gazette

DEATH OF A FAMOUS TRorrER.-The
famous trotting mare American Cir! fell
dead on Saturday afternoon in the first
heat in the free for all race on the Elmi-
ra, N. Y, Driving Park course. She
appeared at the start to be in the very
best condition. The horses were scored
a number of times before they got the
word. The Girl at the first turn was
nicely ahead. AT this point her driver
noticed that she seemed to be giving
out, and let her head loose. She kept
staggering for All eighth Of a mile, and
at the quarter pole fell and died instant
ly without struggle. She fell very
easily, with her shoulders against the
fence. The band played funeral
dirge as soon as her death was made
known. American Girl was owned by
William Lowell, of New York, and Was
valued at $4,000, which sum had been
offered for her only last week. She
was thirteen years old. The Elmira
Driving Park Association purpose,
should the body be left there, to erect
$1,000 monument to the memory of
American Girl. There was an insur-
ance on her life. Bnn. Mace offered
$4,000 for her few hours before she
died

A gentleman in Washington was re-

join him on visit to the depot to wit

His friend suggested that he must
have been in bad company.
"Wel, don't know" said the gen

good company at the time. I called tc

three queens, another king and an ace

A Beautiful Answer.

When the Emperor of Germany was
lately on visit in distant portion of
his dominions, he was welcomed by the
school children of the village. After
their speaker had made a speech for
them, he thanked them. Then, taking
an orange from a plate, asked:
"To what kingdom does this be-
long?"
"To the vegetable kingdom, sire, -
replied the little girl
The Emperor took gold coin from
his pocket, and, holding it up, asked
"And to what kingdom does this be-
long ?"
''To the mineral kingdom, sire, re
piled the little girl
"And to what kingdom do belong,
then?" asked the Emperor.
The little girl colored deeply, for she
did not like to say 'the animal king
dom," as he thought she would, lest his
Majesty should be offended, when a
bright thought came, and she said, with
radiant eyes:
ITO Gods kingdom, SIRE"
The Emperor vas deeply moved. A
tear stood in his eye. He placed his
hand on the child's head and said, most
devoutly:
"Grant that I may be accounted

Amusements, Luxuries and Labor il
New York.

AS dull as are the times, and as hard
as money is to get, it is singular thing
that the places of amusement are bet
ter patronized than ever. The opera,
with seats at 81, is crowded; the thea
tres are full nightly, and the drinking
houses and the more fashionable res
taurants, where dinner costs 81 to Sc,
have lost none of their patronage. And
the retail stores are doing exceedingly
well. ....--.-
There has never been time when the
fashionable retailers sold more costly
goods than they have this season. The
jewelers. are selling enormous quantities
of expensive goods, and the importers
of silks and laces and that class never
sold more. And the question is, who
buys them ? New Workers, as a rule,
are economizing, but nevertheless the
goods go. One standing an hour at the
bars of the great hotels, and seeing the
amount of brandy consumed at forty
cents q drink, wouldn't suppose the
country was suffering from a stagnation
in business, and that there was univers-
al distress in the city. Nor would they
suppose that $4,000 men were out OF
work on the island, and that their wives
and children were actually suffering fo1
bread. The two extremes come very
close together.
Labor continues unsettled and unsat-
isfactory. The employers are discharg-
ing vast numbers Of men and reducing
not only the same, but the wages OF
those they retain. The poor fellows,
driven to madness, strike-the facto-
ries close, and then come hunger, cold,
and desperation. This will be the
worst winter New York has ever seen.
Laboring men who have something to
do out of New York are very lucky

Sagacity of the Partridge.

An interesting instance of the sagaci-
ty with which the partridge will protect
it's young is given by Mr.. Henshaw, of
the Government survey west of the
Tooth meridian. While riding through
pine woods, a brood of partridge, con-
tanning the mother and eight or ten
young about week old, was come upon
so suddenly that the feet of the fore
most mule almost trod upon them. The
young rose, flew few yards, and drop
ping down were in an instant hid in the
underbrush. The mother meanwhile
began. some very peculiar tactics. Ris-
ing up, she fell back again to the earth
as If perfectly helpless, and initiated
the actions of wounded bird SO sue
cessfully that for a moment it was
thought she had really been trodden
upon. Several of the men, completely
deceived, attempted to catch her, ous
she futtered away, keeping just out OF
reach of their hands, until they had
been enticed ten or twelve yards OIL,
when she rose and was off like bullet.
Her tactics had successfully covered the
retreat of her young.

Benefit of Near-Sightedness.

Counselor Lawrence, of San Francis
co, is so near-sighted that with glasses
on he cannot see anything until it comes
within three or four feet, and without
them he can see nothing far or near.
While walking to his office he was
startled by the muzzle of a pistol OBJ
truding within the limited space of his
vision, and he lodged SO suddenly as
to throw off his spectacles. Left thus
sightless, with the dreaded probability
that a bullet was about to enter him,
Mr. Lawrence plunged around in a
wild endeavor to grab the assailant. He
caught the skirts of a woman, and held
her so fast that the pistol was dis
charged harmlessly IN the air. She
proved to be the defendant in case
that he had prosecuted, and she had in
tended to kill him.

UNDER THE MOUNTAINS.
The Second Alpine Tunnel.

The construction of the Mt. Gents
Tunnel was encouraged by Cavour, the
great statesman of Piedmont. The
first shovelful of earth excavated from
the Alpine Tunnel, now so commodious
ly connecting France and Italy, occur.
red in August, 1857, under his order
and in his presence, as in that also Oh
Victor Emmanuel and his son-in- law
Prince Napoleon, assembled at Modena
in honor of the event. On the 18th OF
September, 1871, the tunnel was for.
maily opened to public travel.
In 1871 another ambitious and keen
eyed statesman began another tunnel,
even on larger seal through the Alps
at another point. No sooner had he re.
turned to Berlin in triumph with his
army than Prince Bismarck gave orders
to build a tunnel under Mount st.
Gothard, connecting Germany via
Swiss Territory in part, with Italy.
The engineers in consequence drew up
their plans, and submitted them
through German mediation, to the
governments of Switzerland and Italy,
which Immediately sanctioned the same,
and appropriated money for their exc
cltion. The ST. Gothard tunnel was
commenced October l, 1872, and is now
being constructed under the same sys-
tenn as that which gave to the world
the Mont Gents. It will be
twelve miles long, and be completed
in 1882. It will level, 50 to say, one of
the most difficult and dangerous peaks
of the whole Alpine chain, and CONNER
cially, it will be chief benefit to Ger
many, although, at the same time,
another advantageous link for all
Europe, for, just as the more Atlantic
cables there are, the more Alpine tun-
nels there are, the better for all. It is
estimated that the cost of the st.
Gothard tunnel will exceed that of the
Mont Gents tunnel, and no one can
foretell to a nicely what it will cost, as
anticipated expenditures may turn out,
in reality, to be at fault. It is Bis
marck's favorite while fighting the
Pope, and he watches it with as fatherly
an eye as the Piedmontese did his own.
On more grounds than one it is safe to
say that there will be no difficulty,
financial or other, in building this great
thoroughfare, now fairly under way,
destined to tie together materially the
united Fatherland with the united
Italy. The actual excavation in the
work of boring through, which
was commenced simultaneously on both
sides Of the mountain, has given very
satisfactory results. Up to the end of
the second year, or September 80, 2,728
yards-a little over mile and half
had been bored; and it is calculated,
according to the programme of the en-
gineers in charge, that by September
80, 1875, 1915 yards in all will be
bored. For the last three months both
on the German end, at Gosohenen, and
the italian end, at Airolo, the improved
Farroux machinery affords better re-
suits than have been obtained in tunnel
ing, or seven yards per day. The con-
tractors are now working at $3.50 per
yard. The aperture is to be perfectly
straight, and the excavators are to Join

The Riter Rit.

The aquarium of the Geological Sta
ton at Naples was last autumn attacked
by large number of rats, which not
only did considerable mischief to the
woodwork, but even caught and de-
voured number of the animals kept in
the tanks In an attack on an octopus,
however, one of these depredators got
by far the worst of the battle, as next
morning nothing remained OF the four
footed gourmand but the bones and a
part of the skin. Though this achieve
ment, remarks the London Athenmum,
cannot be compared to the exploits re-
lated by M. Victor Hugo, it is interest
ing, as showing that even in captivity a
healthy cuttle-fsh is well able to take
care of itself.

Properties of the COlchicum Plant.

An interesting paper on the peculiar
properties CT the Colchicum Autumn
nale-the meadow saffron or autumn
crocus-was read before the French
Academy of Sciences, at Paris, at its
meeting in September, by Mr.. Isldore
Piene. When the blossoms of this
plant are opening they emit apoisonous
exhalation which affects the human skin
at considerable distance. If the flow
ers are touched at this time they impart
to the skin liyid yellowish green, such
as characterizes the human body in the
early stages of decomposition but after
some ten seconds it resumes it's natural
color. If the handling of the opening
blossoms be continued long, there fol
lows numbness in the hands for some
hours. It has long been known that
the colchicum acts as strong alkaline
poison when eaten; but that it exhales,
in blossoming, poisonous effluvia, is a
novel fact. The colchicum is a native
of Europe, and sends up it's pretty bios

John Brown at Gerrit Smiths.

A friend of the late Gerrit Smith re-
lates the following incident which oc-
CURED at the Smith mansion in Peter
boro' several years ago.
Old John Brown and a son of Henry
3. Stanton were on visit to the
Smiths. One morning young Stanton
and Green Smith, Gerrit's son, took a
number of rifles of various patterns
from the house, and erected a target
with a small bulls eye in the center,
for the purpose of trying their marks
manship and the quality of the rifles.
While the boys were shooting the old
abolition hero came up and looked on.
The distance was about fifty yards, and
the shooting little wild.
"Captain, suppose you try shot or
two" said young Smith to John Brown.
The old veteran, without saying a
word, ran his eye over the rifles, and,
selecting the one that suited him best,
loaded it carefully, and took his stand a
little back of where the boys had stood.
1hen, holding the rife on his right
side, with the muzzle close. to the
ground, he looked straight on the
target, drew the gun up slowly, and
fired the instant his eye sighted the
mark. The ball pierced the center of
the bulls eye He followed this with
two more shots in like manner. The
second shot struck just inside the edge
Of the bulls eye, and the third shot,
like the first, pierced the center.
"There, boys, said the old man, lay
ing down the gun, "thats the way to

The Virginia City New Enter1

The Virginia City New Enterprise
says:
.. Yesterday while the gale was at its
height curious accident occurred on
Union street. A nobby-looking China
man was walking behind young lady,
dressed in the extreme agony of fash
ion, when sudden gust of wind blew
the Celestial's tail forward and wrapped
the end of it around the lady's neck.
Being frightened she grabbed the queue
to snatch it away, but she pulled in the
wrong direction. The Chinaman also
made grab to recover his property,
but he also was out of luck, as he got
hold of one of those long curls which
are usually seen hanging down from
waterfalls, as we'll as of his queue, and
when he took pull at it the whole OF the
