A Boarding House in an Uproar.

This is how the rumpus occurred : Higgins, who is top-foorer, came home late, bringing friend with him. As the ways leading to Higgins apartments are .tortuous, he left his friend in the hall and ascended alone to illuminate. Having struck light, he gave low whistle as signal to his friend to ascend. This tile circumstance was fatal to the peace and well-being of the establish
 ment. The old gentleman Battles, who has tho first floor front. was in halt wakeful state, and hearing the sibilant signal sounded on an upper landing was convinced that 1t was thief's method of communicating with his fellow. Battles is energetic, and in very brief space of time bang went his pistol out of the front window, accompanied by volley of cries of ,s'Police!" t'Fire 1" "Rob- bers!" and sMurderl" This demonstra- tion had it's effect all along the line. The boarders, en deshGbiLe to 8 greater or lesser degree--it was warm night-ap- peared on the landing, and the boldest of them invaded Battles experiment.. The neighbors rushed out or put their heads out of the windows, and the great est commotion prevailed throughout the street. The rolice began to arrive, re- enforced by a squad from the station house, and the fire patrol rushed around the corner. It took some time to ex. plain matters and to restore quiet to the neighborhood. The most fright ened individual of all was the strange gentleman Higgins had brought home with him. He was set upon by the in furiated boarders as the supposed burg lar, and narrowly escaped demolition,

The Heated Term,

The very hot weather during July calls forth from tho New York Tribune the following: Old residents of tho city will comparethis years heat with that of former summers, and doubtless pro- bounce it inferior to the extraordinary summers of their reccolleotion. They will recall the three hot weeks of June and July, 1885, when mems minds were also ablaze with the fever of specula- tion the hot weather at the date of tho Croton celebration, which made its promises of cool water the more wei come; the dry, scorching weeks of 1845, from tue latter part of June to tho ninth of August the three months of, hot weather in 1856. when all the grass dis appeared, and there was almost famine in feedstuffs; the summer of 1864, when for five weeks not drop of rain fell, it is said, in the whole State of New York. Other years mightbe instanced of Brief CT but equally excessive heat; and al- though 1876 will go on record as among the worst in respect to sunstroke nor tality, its 154 deaths in three days do not surpass the fatality of the hottest of recent summers, 1872.

Hotel Life in. San Francisco.

A story is told of a San Francisco house, but as it is not localized, we can not possibly saddle it on any one ot them. A man boarding there thought prudent to settle beforehand, to be sure that bis money would hold out. Two dollars day. He staid two months and sent for his bill. Carramba2 The $2 day for board was only small part of the items charged. Sixty dollars tor fire loomed mp conspicuously. Boarder demurred. -.i- " atso@ 2Aian "Can't help it," says the landlord, "we can't afford to furnish fuel and man to attend to it for less than $l day" -..,,. |, ,..yo .. I'm willing to pay you dollar day for fire, but don't want to pay for any more than I've had. Now, out of all the time I've been here it's impossible that could have had fire more than half dozen days in the whole sixty. .,.rl... '.
 "Well," says the landlord, "that's not our fault; the fuel was there and man to attend to it; you might have used it if you had been a mind to.1l
 But the boardery remonstratedg still further: "Now, if you come up ana look at my room think can convince you that there has never been any fuel there, and what is stiH more, i" continued he, rising to tho sublimity of the ocoa- sion. "there is no fireplace in the room, and no stove. There's not oven chlm- ney in the room for smoke to go out at, nor a stovepipe, nor hole to put a stovepipe around"

The Boat Song.

Balanced we sit in our six-oared shell, Tolls of the brain, for an hour, farewell! Ours is no bark the storm to brave,
 She bides no buffet of foaming wave; But when our lake is mirror true
 Of it's hills so green aud it's skies 30 blue, Or when the breeze that mirror breaks And outward losses it's silver flakes,
 Oh, then, to the beat of her ashen wings, Like bird OCT the air clear deep she
 springs. .. -t Oars pulled and feathered and dipped in time Make measure sweet as poets rhyme, Make music sweet as our sweet bells chime. In open sky, on lake and land, @ Live spirits of health for brain, heart, hand And the waving oar hath a wand-like spell To win them hither where'er they dwell Now for spurt your sinews brace, Just think of the laurel that crowns the For when our brows with the bays are
 twined
 Gay fetes are plenty and fair maids kind. Pull hard with one muscle, one heart, one
 will,
 For pure accord Is perfect skill Oars pulled and feathered and dipped in time Make measure sweet as poets rhyme, Make music sweet as our sweet bells chime. .y ..' ..- .. -Francis O Connor.

What is SunstrOke.

Medical men, if they are good chem ists and pathologists, do not much be- lieve in sunstroke in the genuine mean ing of the word. They know that the sun may beat with fiercest rays on any healthy person, so long as the air is dry. We remember, says an exchange, that some years ago there were seventeen cases of sunstroke occurring in the shade at 8 sugar refinery in New York. Evidently the suns rays had nothing to do with that. It was en atmosphere saturated with moisture at high rate of temperature that did the work of death. Most cases of so-called sun- stroke are really waterstroke, faintness occasioned by prolonged vapor bath. Yet it produces prolonged disorder. The blow may fall upon the brain, or upon the little brains known as ganglions, which control our uncon- scious organic life, and are beyond the control of the will, but in either event the cause is exhaustion by reason of hu- mid heat and the consequences usually last 8 lifetime, in the shape of lessened capacity to endure fatigue and dreary nervousness unknown before. In the midst of heated term the preventive is to keep cool and shady.

Gen. CanbY,s Murder by MOdOcs.

The death Of Gen. Custer recalls the terrible fate of his brother-in-arms, Gen. Canby, who was treacherously murdered by Captain Jack of the Modoc tribe of Indians, April II, 1873, in the Lava Bed camp, Siskiyou county, California. Gen. Canby had been in command of the department of Columbia, and during the six months previous to his assassination had been actively engaged in bringing the Modocs to accept the terms of peace offered them by the government. On the morning of April 10, five Indians and four squaws had come into his camp, and after receiving presents of clothing and provisions from the peace comlnis- sioners, one of them was sent out as a messenger to the Indian camp, asking for a meeting on the following morning at point about one mile beyond the picket lines. Early in the morning Boston Charley came into camp and re- ported that Captain Jack and five other side the lines. In about an hour Gen. Canby, Mir. Dyer, the Rev. Dr. Thomas and MT. Meacham, with interpreters, started for the place of meeting, where they at once found the Indians. Speeches were made by MT. Meacham, Gen Can by, and Dr. Thomas, after which Gap tain Jack asked for Hot Creek and Got tonwood-places then already occupied
 for a reservation. MT. Meacham told Jack that it was impossible to grant the request, whereupon Schonchin admon- ished Mir. Meacham to say no more. and while Schonchin was still speaking, Captain Jack walked behind the com pany, and upon exclaiming, "All ready l" drew pistol and snapped a cap at Gen. Canby. Putting on another cap he again fired, and Gen., Canby fell dead, shot under the eye. Schonchin then fired upon MT. Meacham, and Boston Charley and another Indian shot and killed Dr. Thomas. MT. Dyer was chased some distance, but succeeded in reaching his camp.
 Gen. Oanby was one of the seven gen erals in the army who then held the brigadier rank. He was an officer uni versally esteemed, and his melancholy fate awakened general feeling of indig- nation throughout the entire country. Gen. Sherman, under directions of the President, at once forwarded orders to the camp to ''make the attack so strong and persistent that their (tho Modocs) fate may be commensurate with their crime. You will be justified in their utter extermination.

SALISBURY CONN., FRIDAY, 28, 1876.

from Montana three years before, with his "partner," where the two had been hunting and trapping together for sev- oral years. The story of his life that his "partner told was this ..
 Reynolds was the son of wealthy and aristocratic family in Tennessee, but was educated in the North, and when the war broke out he found himself in a painful dilemma. He had imbibed enough of Northern ideas to make him strongly hostile to the secession move ment, while his family, consisting of a father, mother, and sister, were violent sympathizers with the South. His fath- or entered the Confederate army as an officer early in the war. The son could not go with him and fight against his principles, nor could he stay at home and brook the taunts and pleadings of his mother and sister, nor could he join the Federal army and fight against his father. so he left his home and wandered away to the mines on the Pacific slope. His home was at the center of hostiEties and all communication was cut off. At the close of the war he went back to Tennessee, and what was once his home was desolation. The neighbors told him his father had been killed in one of the early battles, his mother had died, and his sister had married Southern off, Ger whose name was not remembered, an all trace of her had been lost. The old plantation had been confscated and there was not single tie left to bind him to the past. He spent some months m search of his sister, without result, and finally homelessness and disposi- e1 r LS !, men, drove him back to his old home in weary life. From 1865 to 1872 he was in the mines in Colorado and Montana, and hunting and trapping along the streams of the great Northwest, being employed occasionally by the govern ment to do some work for which ordina- " men were too cowardly or incompe- tent. . .--... ..1..
 He was short, stocky man, with a little stepping of the shoulders, and 8 way of carrying his head bent forward with his face toward the ground. He had shrinking blue eye, very hand some mouth, and forehead on which one could trace blue veins, as you can trace them on the forehead of a woman. He was full-bearded, but neither the growth of hair nor the marks of ex- posture had effaced the lines of beauty from his face. His manner was unob strusive and gentle, his voice was as soft and tender as a woman's tones. He was man that horses and dogs loved instinctively at first acquaintance; whom men respected, although he was never fathomed by the wisest of his friends. He had fought whole t,ibe of Indians single handed, people said, although no one ever learned of an exploit from his own lips. He never learned the neces- sity of swearing, never told story, never smoked 8 pipe or cigar before a camp fire, and never drank and liquor.
