Our Reconstructed d Wharf.

The piles are now all drl ven and
when the railing is put OH the
wharf will be entirely completed.
The quality and strength of the
timber used, the manner In which
the piles were driven, and the in
creased height of the structure are
guarantees of its endurance. The
completeness and excellence Of the
work are directly due to the efforts
and management Of John p.
Stearns, who can now safely say
that he owns the best and most
substantial wharf on the southern
coast. About forty piles were used
at the shore end of the wharf,
which were picked from the best
ones that belonged to the old
wharf. In the gap and at the
outer end nearly three hundred
large, sound and well selected
new redwood piles were used.
being driven large end down, from
eight to ten feet into the bottom of
the sea, making q solid foundation,
upon which the wharf is built. In
tue work Of reconstruction GO, ,OOO
feet of choice lumber have been
used, and 500 worth of iron to bolt
the timbers together.
When the railing is finished, the
plank spiked down, and the wharf
entirely completed, the total ex-
pense will have reached at least
$4,000 as follows:
Three hundred piles. ......... 81, 500
Sixty thousand feet lumber lao
Iron spikes, etc........ ........ 700

The work has been substantially
and thoroughly done. The wharf
for probably three hundred feet be.
yond the point where the surf
breaks at tie very lowest tide Is
three feet higher than the old
structure. The new wharf does
not have that jar or wavering mo-
tion, when heavily loaded teams are
passing over it, which was noticea.

ence In wharf building pronounce
it sufficiently substantial to stand

An Incident of Railway Travel.

The monotony of the travel from Buff
falo to New York was somewhat enliven-
ed on the Erie train, due here at half
past seven O'Clock Thursday morning,
by one of the boldest robberies on rec
ord, which happened as the train reach
ed CASTLE. An old gentleman, appa-
rently resident of CASTLE, stepped on
the train at Buffalo, and when it reached
his town, in passing through the car
door, stranger brushed against him,
and hastily jumped from the train. At
the same moment the old gentleman be-
came aware that his pocketbook con-
tanning $4,000 in bank notes had been
abstracted from his person. He in
stantly raised cry, but another man,
apparently an accomplice of the thief,
exclaimed, "Just you wait, I'll catch
him for YOU" Thus deluded, the old
man allowed the robber to get a good
start, and when the train moved on the
passengers who had been more or less
excited by the event, saw the thief skur-
rying-through cornfeld, the old gen.
tleman straddling the fence of the same,
and the villagers keenly watching both.
On arriving at Hornellsville, the pas
sengers on the train were informed by
telegraph that one of the thieves had
been captured. No names were learn

H. j. Bosworth, manager OF the

glass of water from pail in which
some of the boys had spilled a quantity

the liberal use of raw eggs.
A man named Anderson was out
hunting near Grayson, KY, and at
tempted to draw his gun through a
fence. The hammer caught on rail,
discharging the contents into his arm

he died in a few hours.
The boiler of a threshing engine
exploded about nine miles north OF

PRAYER Time at the Yankee DeacOn's.

The Deacon was 80, a prosperous
merchant, gray-haired and a little bowed
with care, but still vigorous man, rails
ING a young family around him. To his
country store, which was veritable
museum, if you came at 9 O'Clock OF
summer morning, or at s in winter, you
heard the voice of prayer loud and
strong and lasting sometimes half an
hour. The Deacon's house was connect
ed with the store, and after breakfast,
when family prayers were ordered, one
of the sons knelt in the passageway and
kept one eye on the open door OF the
store while he reverently closed the 9TH
er and shut business out of it that he
might let devotion in. 1t was large
family circle, and there were young
children who, sometimes annoyed at the
protracted solemnity OF the fathers
plea to the throne of grace, would begin
to frolic, innocently enough no doubt,
and would now and then break into
laughter. At such times the Deacon
would continue his prayer unmoved,
but when he had concluded it, would
take the offender aside and sentence
him to punishment, which the mother
Immediately proceeded to intiict in an
adjoining room. Some wicked critics
saw that deacons' sons "turn out
worse" " than sons of other people,; but
such was not the case in this deacon's
family. The punishments, probably,
did Just the good they were expected to
do. The son stationed in the store pas
sageway was privileged to leave his
kneeling- place and wait on customers,
and remember once to have had my
youthful gravity thoroughly disturbed
by an incident which occurred one sum-
mer morning in the store at prayer-time.
The eye of the sentinel in the passage
saw the burly form of an Irish woman
entering the doorway. He darted out
to receive demand for Goldfish, and
the remark, as the good woman wiped
her streaming red face and hardened
to the accents of prayer; "Dear!
dear! the Deacon do be goin' it moighty
strong, and the thermometer nointy in
the Shade, toO!"-Edacard Ktng, IN
