In France eash inhabitant drinks, on
an average, tbree-quarters of a gallon OF
spirits annually. Sudden deaths, the
consequence of drink, are most frequent
in those departments in which spirit is
drunk; they are rare where wine only is
consumed Cases of intoxication, suffi-
Gent to bring the drinker under the no
tjce of the law, are also five times more
frequent in the departments which con-
sumo much alcohol than in those in
which wine is consumed. So, also, with
respect to alcoholic delirium; the num-
Der of cases stands in almost direct rela-
ton to the amount of spirit consumed,
and particularly to the amount Of manu-
featured spirit which is taken. Vendee
and Charente present the only excep-
tions to this rule, and there large
quantity of white wine is almost
as dangerous as brandy.

Quite an excitement Was created yester'
day morning BY the mysterious disappear
ance. or abaence rather, Of Mr.. Jno. kulI-
mer, an old and highly respected citizen oil
Sedslia. He started Fridav afternoon ia
Ionia about twenty miles from here. His
hack and bay team ~ere discovered Satur-
day morning near the residence Of Mr..
Middleton. the Assessor, on the Green
Ridge road. 1t Was found about sunni
and was standing quietly in the road having
been stopped probably by entanglins in the
lines, which were dragging. Nothing vas
ITO be seen or heard Of Mr.. Kulimer. how
ever. of course things looked dark. The
people in the neighborhood were worked up
10 high pitch Of excitement. There were
number of suspicious movers along the road
and this added to their suspicious that the
old gentleman had met with foul play.
| Word being brought to town. the family
and numerous friends felt great anxiety.
Mai. Current and several other gentlemen,
amongst whom was q BAzoo reporter
started out to institute search. A few
miles from town, . gentleman whom We
met in the road stated that he had met
buggy and team containing an elderly. gray
whiskered gentleman about twilight, south
of Capt. Turrils, about nine miles from
town. going southwest. THIS answered the
L.
arrived at Middleton's the report We had
heard about the team having been found
was verified. The party proceeded sou'h-
wsrdly towards Iona and after making dill
gent inquiry all along the road they finally.
after having gone some seventeen miles. as-
cert.ined that Mr.. Kullmer had reached q
point within few miles Of his destination
where the roads forked. Being doubtful as
to the right road to take, he LEFT his team
standing unhilched livery unwisely) and
went off about one hundred = ards TO house
to inquire the proper route. When he re-
turned, the team was no where to be found.
He looked up and down, high and low,
everywhere but The right place. He wan
dered around all night long. and the next
morning went as far back as Flat creek.
feeling certain that the horses had taken
the back track for Sedalia. Here some
movers informed him that the team had not
passed. If it had they would have certainly
seen it. So he then takes the road to Green
Ridge. thinking il he did moi find them
there he could take the train for home,
winch he will have to do as the fOllowing
dispatch explains:
GREEN RIDGE, August 9th, 1873.
J. H. Kulimer:
I am all right, and will he home to- !
night. JNO. KULLNER.
This explains it all now. But yesterday
the circumstances made it look
exceedingly dark The fact OF his passing |
rurrel's at twilight, and hi. team bring /
found four miles further back this way the !
next morning at sun up together with his
Dwn absence, left no reasonable theory. ex-
cept that some accident or misfortune had
befallen him.

1t is easier to be good than to be bad. II

The steam Thresher.

The report Of the accident that happened
to Spence Myers' steam threshing machine
FRIDAY, was Obtained from person who
was slmos, beside himself with excitement
The facts, stated by person who Was pres
ent and saw the accident, are that the
thre~hing machine was being moved from
William Cummings place. three miles
north Of the city, where job had just been
completed. to a neighb rng farm. The
road taken was through corn6eld and .
piece of timber. Mr.. Cummings was sit
ting on the engine driving. He was eau
toned about driving over stumps, ~ an &C.
cident might occur, and he was therefore
on the lookout. 4 stump stuck mp in the
road and Mr.. Cummings undertook to
break il off before driving over it, but did
not get it down enough, 80 that when the
engine was passing over the stump came
in contact with steam cock on the hind
part; this was broken Of and the escaping
steam frightened the tesm and started them
running. The team consisted of span of
mules on the tongue and span Of hor-es
in the lead. A colored boy Was riding one
Of the mules and guiding the leaders. The
team becoming unmanagable the boy
jumped of and escaped. Mr.. Cummings
finding that he could not control the team
tried to escape by jumping, but becoming
entangied in the lines, was thrown and
dragged q great distance over the
rough ground His left arm was fright fuiyl
and other parts Of his body bruised.
Mr.. Cummings did not lose presence of mind
once and made several attempts 70 Olsen
rage himself. When the team had spent it,
the engine I'm against tree and
stopped. In the collision one wheel vas |
demolished, every spoke being |
knocked out. Mr.. Cummings Was then re
leased by parties coming up and, retaining
all his faculties. he directed one of them to
bind his arm above the wounds to stop the !
blood. which vas done and he was helped
to his home. The wounds are very serious
and may yet result IN death. Mr.. Myer
WA not injured. The engine is badly
wrecked. The horses and mules we're in.
ured somewhat in the fracas but not
