for which he paid somewhere between $500 and

There is such a thing as having Just enough
of any given article to supply the demand, and
when such is the case there is no cause for com
plant. But when the market is over stocked
the article deprecales ard the surplus must be
disposed of before there can be an equalization.
1t is our present opinion that the supply
of dog in Bloomsbury far exceeds what the
necessities or convenience of our people de-
mand, and hence il seems that proper DISPOSE
tion of the supernumeraries would be to wreck
their barks with the wave of a club Go where
you will on our streets, there are big dogs and
little dogs, white dogs and black dogs, game
dogs and ours, and so forth and so forth. There
are dogs and puppies that howl and whine all

lack of taste on our part, we must confess that
it is no comfort to our soul nor music to our

Spontaneous Combustion.

A horrible case of death by spontaneous
combustion occurred in San Francisco few
days ago. The victim was man named
Harley, and the account in the San Fran
cisco Post is as follows with seeming
insa ne desire for drink, he continued from
u o'clock drinking steadily at the various
bars in the vicinity, and the large size of
each potation promised to speedily send him
back to the hospital. About the time mem
toned he staggered into the the room nearly
insensible and feebly asked for drink This
was refused him, and he staggered toward
the gas jet to light the stump of cigar
which he carried, while the barkeeper turned
to attend to his duties. A moment after he
heard low moan and noticed a flash of fire
and turning around, he saw Harley falling
to the floor, his head enveloped in black,
thick smoke, while flames issued from his
mouth and ears. A horrible smell of burned
flesh filled the air Not moment was lost
in attending to the sufferer. He was beyond
relief, however. His face was perfectly
black, partly charred and partly covered with
a moist SCOT. His eyes were open. Hi.
mouth was completely roasted on the inside
but, with the exception of his head and
hands, no part of his body bore marks
of his horrible death. A letter found il
pocket addressed to NJ. Harley or Hartley
furnished the only clue to his identity
