Last night, about $50, as the Delaware

After running few yards, he tripped.
The men on the tongue, Immediately threw
it to one side, in order 10 avoid hurting
him; but Massey rolling in the same direc-
tion, their efforts were in vain, the front
wheel passing over his chest, and the hind
one over his stomach.
He was Immediately picked mp and car

was very severely hurt, he was taken to the
house of Mr.. 8. B. Virtue, on Fourth street
above French, where everything was done
to ease his sufferings.
DR.. West was Immediately summoned.

was almost dead. His parents were sent

minutes before his death, and left imme-
diatcly to bring his father, who reached the
spot only to see his ccld corpse.
The deceased was young man, and
much beloved by the men of his company
Much is due to his fellow firemen, for their
great endeavors to do all In their power to
alleviate the sufferings of the dying man.

A recent English book on Turkey has
the following: 1--WE passed through q
busy hive of reapers, who were cutting
the product Of these chemical SUBJ
stances, and who were nearly all Bul-
garian women. We were going up .
hill at the time, and had left my 'in-
femal machine to enjoy the pleasure Of
stretching my legs and counting my
bruises, when [ saw several of the young
women fastening toward me. Feeling
that It would be zngaAant to turn my
back upon 50 fair a charge, stopped,
determined to see it 0ut at all hazards.
On they came, with laughing lips and
sparkling eyes, IS s.ood wrspt in ex-
pectant wonder, for they were SO many.
Soon l was surrounded. Whist might
be the customs of the country, or what
might be expected of me, l knew not,
and 1 felt that, could my friends at home
see me n this moment, my situation
would be ludicr"s's in the extreme. But
now my hands were kissed, one foot was
raised and the sole of my foot was
rubbed with ears of corn, to signify that
it was the desire of these brown damsels
that might forever walk on plenty.
This poetical consideration for my well
fare deserved some return, so l distri-
buted some small coins among them,
and was laughingly released

Rev. DIR. wooD, Of Toronto, owns .
meteorite which for generations back
has been possessed by the Indians Of
Saskatchewan valley, and superstitious-
ly reverenced by them as 3 supernatural
object. Parents made offerings at its
shrine for the life and prosperity Of their
their journey; war parties to insure III
possible) victory over their enemies,
and to aid in stealing horses. They al
so laid their tobacco and other stuff up
on its altar. Great attractive power
was attributed to it for the bringing Of
the buffalo and the animals to its vicin-
ity; and as an evidence of this the more
superstitious now say that on account Of
its removal the buffalo have entirely left
that part of the country.

killed BY the Sting Of a Bee.

A Distressing event occurred at Lyd-
ney on Friday week, and was the sub
ject of = COroner's inquiry on the fol-
lowing day, viz: the death of Henry
Larkham. Sr., a retired farmer, from
the sting Of a bee. 1t appeared from
the evidence given before Mr.. N. F..
Carter, Divisional Coroner, that about
4:45 O'Clock on the day named, Mr..
Larkham was in his sons garden. and,
on passing in front of the bee-hives, re-
ceived sting upon the temple. The
old gentleman at once returned to the
house, and asked a young man named
Lloyd to fetch the blue bag, which was
done, and the liquid blue was applied.
Lloyd, likewise, at the request of Mr..
Larkham, took an egg from his pocket
which he had gathered from a nest.
Upon sitting down in the yard, Mr..
Larkham had tainted, and was bathed
with vinegar and water. This, how
ever, proved y powerless restorative,
death supervening within quarter of
an hour after the sting. DIR. Gimblett
was called at the inquiry, and stated that
he had been sent for, but deceased died
before he could reach the house. He
had since examined the body, and found
q wound upon the right temple inflicted
by . bee. This it was which caused
death. Upon this testimony the jury
returned their enthusiastically (Wales)

An Odd ,ieni.s.

A queer genius lives at East Burke
a man who probably has not spoken to
another man directly for the past 25
years. He will talk with woman or q
minor, but never with man; even his
own sons, as they arrive at 81 years of
age, are talked to no longer. When he
can do no better he will talk to the stove,
or a horse, or whatever else happens to
be near, and say: "Old horse, you tell
Mr.. Smith i want to buy his farm" Mr..
Smith can speak for himself, but will
only get an answer as he hears it ad-
dressed to the s'old horse This eccen-
trio individual will allow no man to sit
on his right hand; he will sooner stand
up or leave, and has often stood up
through church services when he could
find ne seat without man at his right
hand. He speaks in meetings, and is
