Last Friday the Greenbackers held meeting
at South,Sebec, and htched their horses arou nd
store while they listened to the words of wis
dom which had been provided for them. All
would doubtless have gone as merry as mar
rage BELL but for the fact that swarm of
bees somehow got wind of the affair, and to
show their opinion of the cause, made an on
slaught upon the horses Now came scene
worthy of an artist. The horses tugged and
pulled at their 5halters until all but one had
broken away, and away they ran, up the road,
down the hollow, and over the bills and far
away, pursued By the relentless bees, and fol-
lowed by their astonished owners who only
succeeded in capturing them after a lively
chase and after their wagons had become fit
subjects for the carriage makers shop.

CoUp's EoUEscURRIcULuM.- Rochester
IN. Y Daily Union discourses as follows con-
corning Coup's great show which exhibits on
the Western Promenade Thursday:
In the ordinary parlance of the sho w-esti-
mating world, title like that which heads this
article is considered pat denOminator used
more to conceal the defective features of the
concern, and to misead the public. than to
really designate what is within the canvas. 1t
is with unfeigned qualification that we une-
quivocally announce that the word applied to
W. c. Coup's exhibition means just what it is
intended to mean-a show OF the best trained
animals ever brought before the public. From
the street parade, elegant in all the appoint
ments, horses. carriages, costumes and man
ner, to the finale in the ring beneath the canvas,
there is a constant succession of unique, fresh
and intensely interesting novelties, calculated
to rivet the attention of all classes, and worthy
the attentive study and applause of the most
critical. The constant and significant mani
festations of delight on the part OF the large
audiences of yesterday afternoon and evening
in spite of the storm last evening-bear us out
in these assertions. The explanation of this is
found in the fact that the Coup exhibition, in
stead of being on the bills, is before the public
under the canvas, without single adjunct to
offend the most fastidious, without any of the
side show, thimble-rig concerns which are the
curse of the ordinary travelling exhlbition-in a
word, with nothing but what would be tolerat-
ed by any people as first class opera house.
These facts and the meritorious character of
the exhibition impel this praise.

SUDDEN DEATH.-On Sunday night there
were three deaths at the almshouse. One was
that of Mrs. Doughty of consumption; the
others. Mrs Sheridan of brain disease, and
Mrs. HOLLAND.
The fact of thee deaths in one night made
some little talk in the neighbo-hood, and it
began to be rumored that Mrs. Hollands death
was caused by something out OF the common.
1t was reported that some eight weeks ago Mrs.
Holland, who is about sixty years of age, was
maltreated in row among the inmates of the
almshouse, and died from the effects of her
injuries. The truth was-as we learn from the
authorities-she was terribly debilitated and
committed an act that aroused the ire of one Of
the inmates, who pushed her over, but the fall
had nothing to do with the woman's death.
Mr.. Merrill deemed that the best way to put
these rumors TO rest was to have a public
investigation. and accordingly Coroner Gould
was notified and he empanneltd jury and
held an Inquest yesterday. The evidence was
conclusive that the woman died entirely from
natural causes and the jury SO rendered theil
verdict

PROBABLY FRAUD. The people are caCs
toned against giving mo.ey to q man who is
begging in this city, on the ground of having
been soldier and who when refused becomes
insolent and violent, as there are abundant
reasons for thinking that the money so obtain
ed is spent in liquor. The man if honest
should be cent to the Soldiers Home. AS q
beggar he is out of place, and his way of con-
Quoting himself is very offensive.
