field, England. Twenty men broke open
the bar in the grand stand and set to work
to drink up the large store of wine con-
tanned therein. Eight of them were found

dead. Six more were found stupefed in
the neighboring villages.

cSY A young man named Penny, while
out hunting his steers, barefoot, the other
day, stepped on the head of a large rattle
snake. He had his heel on the snakes
head, and being afraid to move, did not

hideous thing was writhing and squrming
and vigorously lashing the youths legs

pesday last fifteen girls employed in
Madame Somers' dressmaking establish
ment had milk for dinner. During the

cluding the madame. None of them were
SO i'll, however, as to be unable to return to
work the next day, except two sisters, Mary
and Nettie Divitt. On Thursday both

called in pronounced them cases of poison
ing. Yesterday Mary died in great agony

WARRINGTON, July 30.-Since the new
law regulating the salaries of postmasters
at the smaller offices by the amount of
stamps Cancelled, instead of the amount of
stamps sold, has gone into effect, a marked
diminution has been observed at the post
office department in the number of stamps
ordered by postmasters of this class. 1t is
stated at the departmen ent that no exact es-
innate can be formed of the amount which
will be saved in salaries of such postmas-
ters until the reports for the quarter end
ing September 30th, 1875 shall have been
received and audited, but the indica-
tions are that it will amount to very
large sum. Upon the basis of acquisitions
already received for stamps for the present
quarter, there are many offices, where, under
the old law the salary had grown nearly to
the presidential standard, that will drop
back to the old figures of twelve dollars
per annum.
