Geological Foot Prints.

1t is not generally known that the
glen at Bellona, Yates county, contains
q remarkable curiosity. In the bed Of
the stream, just above the village of
Bellona, is a rock about fifty feet
square, uncovered at low water. It is
entirely covered with footprints, deep
In the rock, Of men and birds and extinct
animals. They are as clearly defined as
the footprints of the children who had
played on che damp bank the morning
| visited the glen. Some Of these hui
man footprints are very small and deli
cate; others are large shockingly large
yet retain their symmetry. The dis
tinctness of these tracks and their rela-
tive position preclude any doubt Of their
character, even to an unscientifc OBJ
server.
/ found tracks of some animal in this
rock which measure thirty inches in
length-I mean distinctive tracks, sew
eral times repeated, with such exactness
OF outline as to identify the species to
which the animal belonged. These
rocks are favorite resort of biologists
from all parts of the country. The
layer vi nu0SJOu0 upon bu6 Surface Vi
which these footprints appear is about
TWO feet in thickness. Some of the
finest specimens have been destroyed by
removal of parts of the rock for building
purposes-a fate which awaits the re-
mainder. I shall endeavor to procure
casts Of several Of those remaining.
It is stated by reliable witnesses that
many years ago, while workmen were
blasting these rocks to obtain building
stone, perfect petrifcation Of human
head and face of an unknown type was
found. The workmen and many others
crowded around TO examine it, and one
of them, impatient at the work being
stopped, struck it with his BANNER and
destroyed it.-Letter to the Rochester

A Heart.Rending Death.

Particulars of a terrible death by
freezing have reached here from the
village of Coboconk, in North Victoria,
100 miles northeast of here. On Satur-
day afternoon the 12-year-old son of
Mr.. John Campbell, farmer living on
Grufitt's lake, north Of Coboconk, saw
a deer making across the lake on the ice.
and, concluding that if the ice could bear
the deer it would carry him, started in
pursuit A quarter of mile out from
shore he suddenly went through, but
after desperate exerions, during which
his hands and legs were mangled by the
keen ice edges, reached a rock in the
very center Of the lake. Here he cried
for help, and his father and mother with
band of neighbors ventured out after
him, but the ice was frail and treacher-
GUS. Attempts were also made to reach
him in boats and canoes, but without
avail. It was bitterly cold, and as even
ing. set in the boy became numbed and
weak. His cries grew fainter and
fainter, while the efforts Of those on
shore were redoubled to no purpose.

A New England Tragedy.

One of the most horrible murders
ever committed III Berkshire county, oc-
CURED in the north part of Sheffield,
about four miles from Great Burlington,
recently. David Stillman and his wife,
both about 70 years of age, who lived
alone on their farm in retired road,
were murdered by negro with an ak,
their heads being horribly mutilated.
The old man lay upon o lounge, with
three deep gashes on his head, and blood
spattered upon the wall and ceiling over
head. Mrs. Stillman was found lying
on the cellar bottom at the foot of the
stairs. She was evidently struck on the
head with an ak, laying open her temple
The indications are that she fell upon
the top stair and tumbled thence to the
bottom. The boy who did chores for
the old people left about p. M, and
met colored man named John Ten
Enyck, who inquired if the Stillmans
had any butter, and if they had COM
pany. Being told they had no company
and the boy not knowing about the but
ter, the negro went on. The boy, on
going over to do the chores next morn
ing, discovered the murder On the
table was pail of butter and the steel
yards, showing that Mrs. Stillman had
got some butter out to sell, and was then
murdered. The murderer was arrested
and brought to the place, and the body
of the murdered man shown to him, and
he denied ever having seen him before,
but Ten Enyck had blood on his panta-
looms and had about $15 in money, while
it was proven that he had none before.
Great excitement prevailed, and the
Sherif's posse with difficulty restrained
the excited citizens from lynching the
prisoner. The Stillmans owned the
farm on which they lived, and were we'll
TODD people. One son is a Methodist
minister, preaching in Connecticut, and
another is miller in Sheffield village
The town has been terribly excited by
the tragedy, but is getting quiet now, as
it is thoroughly believed the officers have
secured In Ten Enyck the perpetrator of
this shocking crime. Boston Herald.

CONCERNING LONGEVITY.

What is Shown by Life Insurance Tables.
Our modern life insurance tables con-
tain very accurate approximations to the
average age attained by civilized man
kind, and, being founded upon the best
attainable statistical information. can be
relied upon. 1t would appear that the
chances OF the child who reaches the age
of 10 years in fair health for arriving at
the "three- score-and-ten, designated
by the Psalmist as the reasonable limit
of life, are out Of 10; that is to say.
there are 10000 men and women alive
at 70 years of age out of every 10000
who reach the age of 10 years. Only
IN that lO0, 900 may expect, however, to
round out full century, although 10
may live to see IS and 100 up to 90.
The fewer deaths occur between the ages
of % and % inclusive, at which period
meR and women should be in the very
prime of their lives. Of.the 100, 900, $50
will die the first year; then the annual
number of deaths will gradually decline
to 718 between the ages of 25 and %,
after which they again increase, until at
81 they reach 1000 per annum; at so
they number over l, 800; at Sc more than
1900, and, between the ages of 70 and
"a they reach their maximum at $500
each year. At rs, there being but 90, 900
of the original 100000 remaining alto
gether, they commence to decline again.
At so the number of Deaths annually is
about 1000; at 81 it is less than 1000.
For the benefit of those curious in such
matters, the following table may be of
interest, the estimate being based upon
100,0 children of either sex, who have
reached the age of 10 years, showing the
whole number that will live to the ages
mentioned:

r. Y. Wrinkle Improved.

The Japanese have the story of Rip
Van Wrinkle in another form. A young
man fishing in his boat on the ocean
was invited by the goddess of the sea to
her home beneath the waves. After
three days he desired to see his old
father and mother. On parting she
gave him golden casket and key, but
begged him never to open it. At the
village where he lived all was changed,
and he could get no trace of his parents
until an aged woman reoollected having
heard of their names. He found their
graves hundred years old. Thinking
that three days could not have made
such a change, and that he was under a
spell, he opened the casket. A white
vapor rose, and under it's influence the
young man fell to the ground. His
hair turned gray, his form lost its youth,
and in few moments he died of old

to sleep all they can. Another cause If
colds is eating too heartily after days
work, when there are not forces enough
to digest the food and keep up the circu-
lation. Eat moderately at night if you
would avoid cold. A cold in It's early
sta ges may be broken up by hot foot
baths, warmth to the body, especially a
hot pack or hot bath in the middle of
the day, with much friction and quiet in
a comfortable room. It is not advisable
to take hot bath at night in such cases.
When you have a cold, don't eat much
or work much unless you have great
physical strength, when bard days
work may be good thing to equalize
the circulation and restore the action to
the skin. which always suffers when one
takes cold. Herald of Health.

The buildings of the coming Paris
Exhibition in 1878, are the largest vet
conceived for the purpose. The nave of
the main building is nearly 1900 feet
long, the vista, which includes the two
yestibules, is more than 1890 feet and
each of the transepts and vestibules
more than LOO feet. The eight indus
trial courts are all parallel, and are di-
vided into two series of four each one
series being devoted to the productions
OF France, and the other to the rest of
the exhibiting nations. In the center of
the garden between the two series are two
ranges of fine-art galleries, On the OBJ

Oregon BiIl's Workmanship.

William Spence, alias Oregon Bill, is
in many respects remarkable man. In
Portland, Ore, he had a friend, John
O'Madigan, now of this city. While
O'Madigan was walking along the street,
smoking his pipe, and, at a distance of
about ten feet, and at right angle, he
suddenly drew his pistol and fired, the
ball taking the pipe from the mouth of
his friend and doing him no harm. Last
fall Bill was in Lake City with deer for
sale, and, seeing his old friend O'Madi-
gan passing up the same street on the
opposite side, he called to him to stop.
When he had drawn his revolver John
did SO, facing him at the time. Bill

top of the hat of his friend. O'Madigan.

The Wealth of William H. Vanderbilt

The fortune of Mr.. Vanderbilt is gen
orally estimated at $1O0,000,000. Men
who ought to be well acquainted with
his affairs say that he could at any time
realize $75, 900, 600 under the hammer.
A pleasant feature of his already very
pleasant position is that by looking at
the stock indicator he can figure out how
much he is worth at any moment of the
day with greater precision than most
men can, though they have much less
to figure out.-Appleto'a's R0ila0oy

The Vanderbilt will Case.

Commodore Vanderbilt's heirs have
renewed the contest over the old mans
will in the New York courts, the dissat
isfed children again basing their claims
or greater proportion of the estate
than was bequeathed to them on the
ground of manias and diseases rendering
the father unfit to dispose of his property
with fairness and Intelligence. More
revel lions of domestic scandal are ex-
pected, unless William 81. Vanderbilt,
who stands as defendant in the case,
shall consent to make liberal overtnres
the disaffected ones. ~

Elevated Railway.

Rapid transit in New York has at last
developed from scheme into a reality.
Work on the foundations of the Gilbert
elevated railway has been begun on
Sixth avenue, and is rushing night and
day with force of about 1900 men. A
good deal of the former violent opposi-
ton to the railway on the part of prop
erty-holders has died out, since the pill
lars of the structure are placed at q
double carriage width from the side
walk instead of along the curb-stones,
as at first proposed. The road will be
in running order by the 1st of next
March.
