INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS,

Italy, Paul Dahlgren, are curious and
melancholy. He had been suffering from
illness, but was better. On q Thursday
morning he told his servant to take some
rest after his fatigue in attending him. In
a few hours afterward he was found lying
dead in an upper room of the building,
whittier, 1t is supposed, he went either for
the purpose of calling the servant or to
read and consult official papers. The
cause Of his death was syncope of the
heart.
Says the Griffin (Ga.) Neaos "A few
days ago Mr.. Jarrett Pounds, young
gentleman Of this county, was engaged il
cutting wood, when large chip flew up
and struck him over the eye. A few min
utes after receiving the blow he made an
effort to blow his nose, and actually blew
his eye completely out Of its socket, leav-
ing its central attachments. The eye was
replaced by some friend, but the young
gentleman, soon after the accident, be-
came insensible and had several convul-
sions. The eye was examined by DR.. J.
l.. Stephenson, of this city, who states
that the sight is not impaired, and it is
firmly fixed in its place again.
The Albany IN. W argus says that
4ulIC oCuS0l4OA was PAOAuCCA ~ TIC
family of Mr.. D. Gibbs, a prominent mer-
recently. While obtaining hod of coal
accident, and yet fortunately, small tin
box among the coal. His suspicious were
aroused, and the box was carefully re-
moved from the bod, and the remainder
of the coal in the hod examined before
being placed in the stove. The box was
found to contain a large number of straws
about three inches in length. Each straw
was filled with powder and securely sealed
at the ends. The whole formed indeed a
very dangerous contrivance, which, if it
had ever reached the fire-box of a parlor-
stove, would have made very destructive
work with the inside of house, and per-
haps destroyed the life of more than one
member of the family.
This afternoon, says the Omaha Bee,
of recent date, two men, one Mexican,
apparently, the other German, and q
German woman, were arguing rather
loudly and gesticulating rather wildly at
the corner of Tenth and Jackson streets.
The woman was squatted on the sidewalk
and was dividing the contents of valise,
consisting of clothing, between herself

attracted the attention of several persons,
who went up to them and asked what the
matter was. "Oh, nothing much" said
my wife from me, and we're dividing the
things, that's ali; and it's all right"
Further inquiry ELECTED the fact to be
that the woman was leaving her husband
to go with the other man, and that the

was for her child which she was going to
leave with him. 1t was a mutual separa-
ton, and as it was nobody's business but
theirs, the spectators left them to pursue
their way.
An extraordinary occurrence was re-
Gently brought to light at an inquest held
on the body of q man in South London.
In work-room where many young girls
were at work a small mouse suddenly
made its appearance on table, causing,
of course, considerable commotion and q
general stampede. The intruder was
seized, however, by q young man who
happened to be present, but the mouse
slipped out of his hand, and, running up
his sleeve, came out between his waist
coat and shirt at the neck. The unfor-
tunate man had his mouth open, and the
mouse, on the lookout for some conven-
lent place of concealment, entered the
mans mouth, and he, in his fright and
surprise, swallowed it. That mouse can
exist for q considerable time without
much air has long been popular belief,
and was unfortunately proved to be fact
in the present instance, for the mouse
began to tear and bite inside the man g
throat and chest, and the result was that
the unfortunate fellow died after little
time in horrible agony. Several witness.
es corroborated the above facts, and
medical testimony as to the cause of death
having been given, verdict OF "acci'
dental DEATH was returned.
