INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

"A waiter in a Dehison TEX hotel
fell down stairs with two pitchers in his
hands, the other day, smashing them, and
sharp fragment OF the crockery entered
his neck, completely severing the jugular
vein, so that he bled to death in five
minutes.

AS Mr.. Wilson was walking through
Currie's Woods, Bayonne, N. j., recently,
he heard cries of distress, and saw boy
suspended by his clothes to the limb of a
tree fifty feet from the ground. He pro-
cured rope, which he fastened around
the body Of the boy and lowered him to
the ground. The boy said his name was
Jones, and that he slipped while attempt
ing to reach for an old birds nest.
"A lady of our acquaintance, who is
quite an adept in making yeast and rails
ing delightful rolls, was Mortified, the
other day, at finding her little rat-terrier
tapping up the last particle of yeast that
she had placed in vessel near the fire to
make rolls for supper. But this is not all.
The yeast "raised'' the little canine until
he was as large as two rat-terriers, and, in
his puffy condition, could scarcely get his
hind legs to the floor. He finally sub.
sided and recovered. Splendid yeast, that.

"A singular fulfllmnet of dream &C.
CURED at Nevada City, recently. The
wife of Mr.. Scott one Of the owners OF
the Last Chance Mine, had a dream on
the night previous, that her husband was
killed by having his head struck by q
rock in the mine, and when the signal
was given 1hata blast was to be fired, he
and Mr.. FOote, both of whom were hold
ing the hydraulic nozzle, retiredto dis
lance of $50 feet. But for some reason
Scott became uneasy and tried to get
Foote to go still further away, concealing
himself behind tree, instead of standing
beside F0ote, as usual. When the blast
went off flying stone struck Foote on
the head, killing him instantly. Mr..
Scott is firmly convinced that If he had
not remembered his wife's dream and got
behind the tree he would have been the
man killed.

stable the usually docile animal rushed
at him and seized him, crushing his arm
between his iron jaws. With great diff
Guilty the terrified youth made his escape
from the infuriated brute. When the mule
found that his intended victim had
escaped, he became frantic, and began
breaking down the stalls next his own,
using mouth and heels until he succeeded
in making his way out Of the stable.
When he found himself at liberty he
trotted Oft about twenty yards, when sud-
denly wheeling he dashed full tilt at the
barn, striking it with tremendous force.
He then commenced tearing the flesh
from his body, and did not desist until he
became 80 weak that he could not longer
stand. He suffered for hours, and finally
died in great agony. That is perhaps the
first mule suicide upon record,
