A FARM laborer near Seilhac, in
France, while ploughing somewhat deep
er than usual, found his plough arrested
by what he thought stump. 1t proved
to be an OK hide filled with gold pieces of
the reign of Francis l., worth 100000
for their weight alone, without reckon
ing their special value of rare coins.

The Ill Luck of Northampton, Mass

For a peaceful old country town the
record Of Northampton, Mass, for the
past half dozen years makes a most
amazing story. Back in 1870 the place
bonded itself for 100000 to aid the
never built Massachusetts, Central road.
This is reckoned a dead loss, and the
total payment, interest and all, will be
5000, 900 before the debt is extinguished.
In that year the Edwards church was
burned, with loss of $4,000 above in
surance. In 1874 was the Mill river
disaster by which fifty-one lives were
lost, a great deal Of damage done to man
ufacturing establishments, several in
dustries driven away, and $50, 900 worth
of town property lost. Then the town
had to pay $4,000 for the freeing Of
Hadley bridge and Sc, 600 for that at
South Hadley Falls Then came the
financial panic which has produced not
less that 100000 of failures there, in
Guiding one company whose capital of
100000 has been wiped out. Then the
old bank was robbed Of about 81 900, 900,
and the old church, the pride of the
place, was burned Now the Hadley
bridge has been carried off oy tornado.
Every injurious influence either of DESIGN
or accident malice, ignorance, fire,
wind and Water-seems to have been
spent upon the devoted town. By actual
computation it is reckoned that two
thirds OF the amount of the grand list
has been lost there i'll six years. Yet it
is New England town-which means
the people are as far as ever from giving
up. Manufacturing companies re-organ-
ize, the Mill River dam is to be built at
once. and hope flows perennial.

A YOUNG lady in Hudson, Me-, is now
teaching in the same school room where
her mother and. grandmother have
taught beofre her. She derives consola-
ton from the thought that neither lady
developed into an old maid, and that the
family traditions forecast great grand
daughter at the head of the school.

The Story Of a Lifetime.

Simon Frazer, Of Albany, walked
down town last Saturday, had his photo
graph taken, and then returned without
being fatigued. It was the one hun
dredth anniversary Of his birth. He
was born in Inverness, Scotland, and was
only six months old when his parents
immigrated to Canada. During the war
Of 1912 he was drafted into the British
army, and saw what fighting there was
at Ogdensburg. Besides the dangers of
war, perils by land and perils by sea
have fallen to his lot. Once he started
down the St. Lawrence with a fine raft
of lumber laden with -four, which he was
intending to sell in Quebec; but while
he was running into cove near that
city, a gale struck the raft with such
violence that it went to pieces. The
flour and lumber were lost, and the lum-
herman managed to make his way to the
shore on single log. All his earnings
had been swept away he decided to
make new start in New jersey. While
he was building culvert near his new
home, the premature discharge Of blast
hurled him Is feet in the air, broke his
leg and injured him so severely that he
could do no work for year. Suisse
quently he found employment at Cats
kill-on-theHudson, where he seemed to
have a positive genius for accidents.
Three times he was borne home seriously
injured by accidents, but in each case he
recovered. On his first trip down the
river on the tow-boat Commerce the
boiler burst, but be escaped without a
scratch. The boiler was repaired; anoth-
er start was made; he stepped on board,
and Immediately the steamers shaft
broke. During his residence in Albany
he has had two terrible attacks Of illness,
and in each instance his physicians pro-
nounced it an utterly hopeless case.
