caught bv the knife and cut almost
squarely of just below the instep. Mr.
Griffith held on to the reins, and was
dragged some two hundred yards in this
condition before the horses could be
stopped by the men in the field. Physi-
cans were summoned and the wounds
dressed. 1t is stated thot Mr. Griffith
was so absorbed in trying to stop his
horses that he did not know his foot
was cut until the team was stopped.

FROM GRENADA.


The following dispatch from Grenada,
Miss, was received in this city yester =
day:
"Times here are awful 4; fever as bad
as ever send money by express to pay
nurses and bury the dead; yours are
well so far as l can learn. The follow

Hughes, Miss Maria Mole (the Bishops
daughter), DR.. wilkins, and Mrs. S.
Coflman. Miss Kate Coiiman died yes

day."
A PANIC-sTRICKEN OPERATOR.
Jack Miller, Howard Association
telegraph operator, arrived here to-day.
He had come all the way from New
Orleans to do duty here, but was so APP
paled at the horrible scenes that he
fled from the place. Bill Redding, the
telegraph operator here, who has been
working night and day, says:
"For Gods sake don't put Miller's
name in the paper, for he may feel
ashamed and return here. God knows
1 don't blame him for not stopping
here. We're out of this place all the
money IN the world would not induce
me TO return. only stop here 10 serve

The approach 70 the, 3Deyil,s Punch,

of apparently igneeus formaaions . Fhe

see it sink into the water to- Iunknewn

water is its immense heat, being a hot

putting snake into it, which was cook

next day, however, his scalp boiled from
his head, game out at q WARM spring
some 500 yards from the base of the bowl,
followed by other portions Of the body,

springs, of which there are mary, at a
short distance from the Bow, ARE not as
hot as the water in The Bowl, as Is evi--

strated by q friend of mine going into
one, and almost not getting out again,
by reason Of the fact that when he got
into the pool he found a thin crust, of
sod formed the rim of the POOL, the
water extending indefinitely beneath,
and when lie would catch hold Of it to
haul himselflup, itgwould break and lst
him down again Finally. BY getting
some ropes 70 him, he was pulled out,
satisfied with experiments in gagstrange

How a Poor Boy Found Friends.

The Warsaw wyoming County, Vest
e,m Men, Yorker tells the following story
from real life: In December. 1859, on a
cold, stormy day, might have been seen,
in the village and town of Warsaw, q
blind beggar asking for aims, from door
to door. The blind beggar was led by
little ragged Irish boy, about eight or
nine years old, whose widow mother
lived in the city Of Rochester. The beg
gar was seen to i'll treat and beat this
poor Irish boy from time to time This
being noticed by one of our human citi-
zeus, he took the little boy to his own
home, providing him with warm clothing
and all the comforts that he and his az
fectionate wife could 90 to render his
life Chat had been one of want from the
cradle) happy. They s::sent him to the
district!school in the winters that follow
ed, he working on the farm in the farm
in the summer months, "a: faithful and
kind boy. In the district: School he was
at all. times At theShead If his class. He
was then sent TO our academy, and after
time he taught school in one of our rural
districts. By dint Of economy and the as
sistance of his kind benefac;or, four years
ago he entered Cornell University. In
June last he graduated at the head of
his class, having been awarded the high
est prize for scholarship IN the college,
where merit alone succeeds. The once
ragged Irish boy has been spending a
few weeks in our village: and vicinity,
but has now returned to take the place
offered him at good salary in the chem
ical department of this seat of learning.

This minister and his wife had but lit
tie opportunity to utter word, their friend
was SO talkative; but they would insist
upon expressing their warmest thanks to
him and ''Sary Ann" for the truely gen.

After the rich store had been deposited
in the house, the man took the minister
by the hand, leaving in it bill, saying
"That's my part Of the fee; thank sary
Ann for the sass" And then jumping
into his wagon he drove away.
The minister unfolded the bill, and
lol its worth was twenty dollars! Mrs.

How TO Detect Impure Vinegar.
From the Harrisburg Patriot.

A consumer complains that much of
the vinegar sold by grocers as cider vine
gar is made of impure Ingredients and
gives the following method of detecting
the cheat.
The impure article is nothing more
than a compound of grape sugar sui
phuric acid and water. To detect the
difference drop into 1t few grains of
sulphate of pyrities. If the vinegar is
pure the liquid will not be affected, but
If it is a compound of the above named
ingredients, IL will be suddenly changed
TO milky white.
