Cunning Aceident.-On Sunday a week.
two young men, of Miffiin Co., without
knowing the intentions of each other,
went out to shoot turkeys. 1t seems
that both turned in the direction of a
clearing that turkeys frequented. Ap-
preaching by different directions, the
one did not see the other. The one lay
down by fence to await the coming of
the game. The other came along the
fence and mistook his neighbor for a
deer, fired and put bullet through the
right lung of his friend, from the effects
of which he will probably die, if he has
not done so before this time. The youth
who did the shooting was almost frantic
with grief over his mistake.

, a CoWardIy Rssauit.-On Tuesday night
as Mr.. Emanuel Sutch was passing near
the residence of Mr.. Brownwell in Car

behind him, and stepped aside to allow

the chap struck him severe blow say
ing, :" have meant to kill you long
ago." Mr.. S. called for help and Mr..
Brownwell came out, when the fellow
ran away. Sutch being nearly blind of

knocked him down and broke his collar
bone, but did no other damage. The
injuries were attended to by DR.. Hall.

Went to Sea in a Tub.

The following story of Pennsylvania
boy has moral to it, and the tale which
hangs thereby is, indeed, calculated to
raise the price of wash-tnbs. Isaac
johnson lives in the village of Port
Penn, and mis- career, according to the
local gossips, has been full of startling
and wonderful events, When a boy Of
ten he stole washtub, launched it upon
the Delaware, got in it, foated down the
river into the bay, and was picked up by
a barque which carried him to Vera
Cruz. Thence he made his way to the
City of Mexico, where he was adopted
by rich merchant, Don Hidalgo Her
nandez, given a liberal education and
finally a partnership. Having become a
partisan of Maxilnillian, he grew so
odious to the people that he was obliged
to fly to Texas. At the outset of our
civil war he entered the Confederate
ARMY, serving as aid to Albert Sydney
johnson. After its cessation he return
ed north, went into the manufacture of
shoes in Philadelphia and fiourished for
a while, but was eventually ruined by
the dishonesty of his partners. Broken
in spirit and estate, he went back to his
village home to die pauper. Recently
he received notice that property to the
value of $500, 900, most Of it government
bonds, had been left him By Don Hidal-
go, and b he is naturally .ejeiesd thereat.

Beeeher aud Sto;idara.

Gen. Sharpe is quoted by the King
ston Freeman as telling this story con.
corning the recent army meeting at
Springfield. Henry Ward Beecher
was the orator and Il. HI. Stoddard the
poet. Mr.. Beecher arrived in the morn
ing a; tbs Massaso;t HOUSE, and IN the
afternoon came Mr.. Stoddard and his
wife, who had ordered new dress to
attend the reception. The dress, of
course, did not reach Mr. Stoddard's
house until after his trunk had been
packed and sent by the expressman to
the cars. So when the poet entered the
hall of the Massaseit House he was
struggling with an enormous paper box
containing the new robe, with all its
founces and furbelows. Mr.. Beecher,
said Gen. Mcmahon, this is Mr. Stod-
dard, the poet Glad to see you, SIR
said Mr.. Beecher; and then, pointing at
the box, he inquired: is this your
poem9' Part Of it, replied Mr.. Stod-
dard. 1t is needless to remark that the
question and the answer made lively
laughter for few mements."

Years are fastening onward, and 1
find by my girls increasing stature, both
mentally and physically, that am grow
ing old. But my heart acknowledges
no wrinkles of age. My cares are some
what numerous, and seldom see day
of luxurious ease, Yet / know by the
music of laughter that bubbles up from
snowy Threats, and the rippling merry
songs that come floating through the
wide old hall, and the patter of dancing
feet that are keeping time to pleasant
thought, that "Aunt Fanny" is not en-
tireiy useless. And yet l shalt always
look back with remorse to those long
years spent in slothful idieness. To
how many homes have | carried COM
fort and happines; and how many hearts
might have received kind words of SYM
patty; how many poor unfortunates
could have clad in comfortable raiment.
Then let me say to the gentle rerder:
Let not the night come without ac-
complishing some good Re useful To-
day and the glories of heaven will be
near to you.

Fifteen years from the day my whole

OF Illinois on my way to visit some re-
iations. The numbering stage wagon
was we'll filled with passengers and bag

smooth as plank could have maize them,
but the landscape was varied with

Thus We were amusing each other
when suddenly there was q crash, and

upon the ground; making quite an ex-
hibition Of gymnastic exercises, without
studying position; fortunately no one
was seriously injured. though there was
chance Of some DELAY. as one of the
wheels was badly broken.

expressions of admiration for what he

while he complains that too many of

complaints of the government.
1t not infrequently happened that the
mail brought registered letters from
anonymous correspondents containing
five and ten pound Bank of England

this. and it must not be forgotten
that, during the time when it was known
that he would take no money recogni-
ton from Italy for the services he had
rendered her, while ut the same time his
needs were great and often pressing, his
friends and admirersi in the United States
were behind no others in sending him
material aid.

A MAN in New Orleans has invented
process of manufacturing mirrors
which, it is claimed, is destined to take
the place of the quicksilver process. In
only ten or fifteen minutes the substance
used in place of quicksilver is made to
adhere to the glass, and the cost of the
substance Is not more than one-tenth that
of quicksilver. Any one can convert an
ordinary piece of glass into a mirror
after acquainting himself with the
process.
