A Floating Grist Mill.

A small steamer is being built at Owen
Sound, Ontario, which is to serve the dou-
BILE purpose of steamer and grist mill.
Along certain portions of the Canadian
coast there is lack of mills for grinding
the grain, and the builders of this rural
craft expect by advertising that they will
appear at certain points at fixed dates, all
the farmers will present themselves with
their grain, and when this is ground the
vessel will proceed to the next town, carry
ing freight and passengers, and also grind
ing the toll that may have been gathered.
In the winter time the boat will tie up at
one of the large towns, and proceed with
the milling business, no capital thus being
allowed to remain locked up during the
long winter of the northern latitude.

The Bulk of Silver.

Every one knows that silver is bulky,
but few persons are aware how bulky it is.
A bag Of 1000 412l grain dollars weighs
80 3-16 pounds avoirdupois. Accordingly
one hundred thousand of these dollars
weighs not far from three tons. If mer-
chant or banker having payment of $780,
600 to make is compelled by circumstances
to pay with silver dollars, he would need
vehicle as strong and as large as an ordi-
nary coal cart (made to carry ton of coal)
to transport them, and if this should be
heaped up, no more than $4,000 silver
dollars could be loaded on it.
TRENTON, December This morning,
in the court of errors and appeals, Chief
Justice Beasley rendered the unanimous
opinion of the court in the Hunter murder
CASE to the effect that all the exceptions
taken by Mr.. George M. Robson to the
ruling of the court below were not sustained
and the Judgment was affirmed. Conse-
quently if the court of pardons or the Gov
ernor does not interfere, Hunter will be
hanged on the 10th of next January The
last session of the present term of the court
of pardons was held this afternoon. If
Hunters friends petition for a commuta-
tion of sentence special session must be
called by the governor if he thinks it pru-
dent or necessary.

A woman's Strange Story.

Miss Tessie Hunt of New York young
lady of about 30 years, is a music teacher.
Among her pupils was the daughter of
Mrs. Risby, widow of independent for
tune, who lives with her son David II. at No.
246 East 112th street. The son was for
merly salesman for Tiffany & CO., but
lost his situation. When Miss Hunt was
engaged as music teacher for his sister he
became enamored of her and paid her
marked attention. Miss Hunt did not re-
iect his suit, but her parents when they
heard Of II, forbade her to encourage him
and advised her to discontinue the lessons
to Miss Risby. She, however, refused to
give up her pupil and still met David, al
though she repeatedly told him that her
parents aversion to him was an insupera-
BILE bar to their union. Still she showed
an interest in his welfare that made him
reflect that love laughs at locksmiths."
Recently he had pressed his suit warmly
and had offered to elope with her, but Mr.
and Mrs. Hunt say that their daughter
refused to be married candestinely.
A week ago Risby met Miss Hunt and,
after reiterating his proposal to elope, told
the young woman that he loved her so we'll
that rather than lose he would kill her and
cut his own throat. Miss Hunt was 80
alarmed at this that she conferred
with her mother and agreed to discontinue
her lessons to Miss Risby.
About o'clock Saturday morning Miss
Hunt went to Mrs. Risby's for the last
time While she was preparing to give
Miss Risby her last lesson David came into
the parlor, called his sister aside and sent
her on pretended errand AS soon as
she was gone he seized Miss Hunt by the
arm and said if she valued her life she
must go with him and be married. Miss
HINT struggled at first, but was frightened
into submission when the young man drew
a razor and declared that if she resisted
him he would cut her throat. Then she
endeavored to gain time, hoping to meet
police officer in the street. 1t is not neces-
sary to say that she was disappointed in
that. Young Rsby half led her and half
dragged her to the residence of the Rev.
Samuel II. Virgin, pastor of the Harlem
Congregational Church. The clergymen
summoned u servant and another person
as witnesses and the marriage ceremony
was performed, Miss Hunt showed no re-
luctance that awakened suspicion on the
part of the clergyman, but satisfying her
conscience by nodding when asked "Wilt
thou take this man for thy lawful hus-
band?"
When the ceremony was over Risby was
so delighted aHthe success of his scheme that
he was taken off his guard and allowed his
bride to go away on the pretext that she
had music lesson still to give and on her
promise to return in couple of hours.
Miss Hunt went Immediately to her pastor,
the Rev. Halsey Moore, of the Second
Baptist Church, and, confiding her secret
to him, and sought his advice. He direct
ed her to inform her parents, and last
night they decided to invoke the aid and
protection Of the police.

The PASTIME ENrERTAJSdENT-

The PAsTlME ENTERTAINMENTS
performance for the benefit of the SAM
tary Committees of st. Francisvillo and
Bayou Sara, which was announced for
Friday 18th, has been unavoidably post
poned to the evening of Friday god, in
slant. At that time tho entertainment
will come off positively. In again call
ing attention to this, we will take occa.
sion to remind the people of our whole
parish Of the benefit derived by them
through the untiring efforts Of the au-
thorities and citizens of our two towns in
successfully preventing the introduction
of tho disease in our midst, and to urge
them to give this beneficial entertain
ment, so literally offered by the Pas
times, that patronage it so justly de-
serves. The expense incurred by tho
town of Bayou Sara amounts to 5000, IS,
while in st. Francisville the expenditure
reaches to something over $500. These
figures are over and above donations of
wood and coal through il dividual iDer-
atty. We sincerely trust to see Fire
mems Hall crowded to it's utmost capaci-
ty on this occasion, and from what we
have heard, are confident we will not be
disappointed.

will be happy to meet his friends at all

A GIRL BLOWN EE-QUARTERS
OF A MILE.

A correspondent writes from Columbus,
Neb., says: "a peculiar incident occur-
red here few mnnths since, the partic-
ulars of which have just learned. 1t
was on the day of the memorable cyclone
passed over Lone Tree and Clark's. The
sky was streaked in the northwest with
vivid flashes of liglt, and terrible rumb-
ling sound made known that dreadful
storm was imminent. A massive black
cloud was extending a whirl;ng finger
toward the earth and sweeping with
great jury whatever came before it Jen-
nie-a girl who was working at a certain

pairing for the next meal. Hearing a
rattle at the side door, Jennie went to
the door aud opened it. AS she did so
she was caught from the door way by
the whirllng wind and carried over the
house,, turning round and round in the
air as she went, and after approaching
the ground Oh the other side she again
arose and was taken by the whring
WIND over the stores and dwellings dis
lance of three-fourths of q mile, being
lowered so tn at her feet could touch the
ground as many as eight times during
the trip. Exhausted, but in an erect po-
sition, she was at last lowered to the
earth as light as feather would fall.
having received no material injury,
though almost frantic with fright. The
storm proceeded on its way, leaving her
in sight of the town, and III half an hour
she again put in an appearance at the
hotel, where anxious friends were be-
wailing her sudden and mysterious de-
parture.
