death comes at last, and with little pin,
Bores thro' bis castle wall-and farewell KiDgp'
What Shakespeare sail OF the vanity OF
kings lives describes equally we'll the
frailty of human life everywhere. The
following singular story comes from
Toronto, Canada:
A young man named Henry Hubbard,
aged thirty-cight years, fell dead while
walking the streets. OF course, the u.s.
ual inquiry was instituted and oxami-
nation made. IL was at fir st supposed
he was the victim Of heart disease, but
the most vigorous search failed 10 detect
any signs of disease in that organ.
The doctors were puzzled: the man
was healthy, and in the full possession
Of his powers; what could have caus ed
his sudden departure from this world?
IL was at last traced in one section
Of the heart, while under the microscope.
was discovered tho minnie point Of n
needle. Death had been brought about
by this broker point Of needle. But
how did the needle get to tho hearth
The doctors renewed their researches,
and we're at last able TO follow the course
of tho needles point, which had first en-
tered the mans foot, and from there
had slowly worked its way through the
body TO the heart, when death resulted.
This is ono OF the most remarkable cases
on record, and shows from what slight
accidents death may result. All the
time, the deceased man had no knowl-
edge ofhis impending doom slowly and
surely the fatal piece OF steel pursued
its serpeutine route until it came in con
tact with The vital organ.

Baltimore & o. Railroad Taxes

The appearance OF 2nd Vice.Prcsident
VIM. keyser. Chief Engineer Randolph
& Chief counsel Borgess. before the
County Court on Tuesday last has
brought this matter into prominence &
for the benefit of the people at large the
following history OF the samo is given {:
In 1872 the Supervisors of the County
entered into contract with the b. & O.
X. II. Co., whereby it was agreed that
all past and future taxes against the
| said Co., should be released upon said
Company binding iself by contract
with the South Branch Railway Co.. TO
build the last named railroad, said tax.
es to stand fully and finally released
| upon the completion OF tho same. Up-
on this being done subscriptions to tho
amount Of $4,000 was taken by the
citizens Of the county and the town
ships Of Romney and Springfield. It is
vol known that after the expenditure
of very large sum Of money the work
upon said railway was suspended on &C.
count Of the financial condition OF the
| affairs OF the country. as claimed by the
Is. 6 OR. n. Co.
We understand that the gentlemen
named gave hopes Of speedy compile.
ton OF the work although they made no
positive assurances. In this state Of tho
case efforts were made to have tie Court
declare the contract of 1872 abrogated
on account OF The delay and order the
Sheriff to proceed at once to attempt the
collection of said taxes. Wiser coun-
sells however prevailed and the Court
after very mature consideration OF the
matter ordered further suspension of
such collection until the October term
in order TO give the attorneys for the
CO. to whom the matter was heretofore
submitted time to examine the legal
questions arising in order that intelli.
gent action should be taken in the pre-.
misses.
We hope that In the meantime the b. e.
o. r. Il. Co., will be able to commence
the completion Of said railway or give
satisfactory assurances of its speedy
completion and that the money vested
in said work by the citizens and Dis.
trcts Of Romney and Springfield may
not be finally and forever lost to them.
