How a Lean ycrmonter Gained Eight
Pounds fin Nine and q Half H0urs.


VERG ENNEs, W., November 21.--On We'd
nesday evening q wager was laid between
William Laduke, of Vergennes, and Messrs.
Forton & La Bombord, as follows: .Laduke
| was to eat in ten hours two pounds OF pork
steak. four large potatoes, one-haR OF q pie,
two slices OF wheat bread, each one and one
quarter inches thick, ne-quarter pound OF
butter, bali bushel Of apples, and to drink
two cups Of tea. At seven O'Clock on Thurs
day morning the gourmand began bis task
by eating five apples. He then ate one
pound OF pork-steak, two large potatoes,
one slice OF bread, one-quarter OF pie,
one-eighth pound of butter, and drank one
cup Of tea. The remainder OF the forenoon
be spent in walking about and eating apples,
OF which he had deyoured twenty-three at
II O'Clock,
At noon he ate one pound Of pork-steak,
two large potatoes, one-quarter Of a pie, one
slice OF bread, one-eigbth pound OF butter,
and drank two cups Of tea. He was then
weighed and found to have gained seven and
one-half pounds. For the next three hours
he averaged about two apples per hour.
At st 2. NJ. he ate the last apple and won
the bet with half an hour to spare. His
weight when he began was 145 pounds. and
at the close 153 pounds, showing gain OF
eight pounds in nine and one-half hours.
Seven and hall pounds of this he acquired
in the first five hours, the last FIVE hours
adding only one-half pound to his weight.
The half bushcl Of apples was "heaplng"
measure, and numbered just sixty-tive ap-
pies. Laduke is 26 years old, five feet seven
inches in height, and has never experienced
sick day in bis life. lie is thin, spare
man, and has always worked out for bis
living, usually among the farmers. He ex-
perienced no unusual difficulty from his

Am Actress, Dilemma.

From the San Francisco News Letter.
Visitors 10 the Standard Theatre on Satur.
day night were disappointed to observe
that, although Miss Alice Harrison's name
appeared on the programme, that charming
little dramatic cocktail failed to present her.
self on the boards. A rumor that she was
seriously indisposed at the Palace Hotel was
generally accepted as an explanation. The
cold facts OF the case, however are these !:
While the clever young actress was descend
ing from her room, in the elevator, on her
way 10 the theatre, that evening, the man
who runs that machine thoughtlessly step
ped off for second at one OF the landings
without completely stopping its movement.
The result was that 1t continued to descend,
with Miss FL. as the sole occupant. 1t IS
supposed that she became alarmed and en-
deavored to stop the machinery in some way.
At all events, the cage became motioness
between two Of the floors, and still remains
there stationary as we go to press. The
machinery has got out Of gear some how,
and the only mechanic who understands it
lives In New York he has been telegraphed
for and passed Omaha yesterday, coming
out on special express train. Meanwhile
no communication can be had with the I'M
prisoned star, and her only sustenance has,
since Tuesday, been pea-soup and other
liquids, forced through the rubber tube that
supplies the elevator with gas. The whole
affair has cast gloom over the hotel. Tele-
grams and other expressions OF concern are
pouring in from all quarters. We hope Miss
Harrison will come out all right in the end,
but confess it looks doubtful. After this
we suggest that the elevators be provided
| with six months canned provisions and q
| life. preSeryer apiece.

FROM tue MI. SterilnS (hy.] DeunocraLJ :!
General Green Clay Smith, who is holding
protracted meeting at the Baptist church
in this city, favored us with u call Wednes-
day morning. Noticing the motto over our
desk, 3" With malice toward none and chari-
ty for ALL" he remarked that the Democrat
had appropriated Republican declaration.
"But," said be, sit Is noble sentiment.
While I was in Congress. during four years,
, had frequent interviews with President
Lincoln, and never, during all that time, did
hear him utter an unkind sentiment. Twas
told by Secretary Stanton that the first Cab
met meeting after the surrender, the ques-
tion as to what should be done with the
Confederate leaders was under discussion.
Some of the Cabinet were for hanging.
some for Imprisonment, and so on. During
the discussion the President sat at the end
OF the table, with his legs twisted UP, and
said not a word. At last some one appealed
to him for his views. The Presidents re-
ply was: Gentlemen, there has been
blood enough spilled; not another drop
shall be shed, if I can help it, Said Mr..
Stanton: 'This reply was like thunder
bolt thrown into the Cabinet, and not a
word Of opposition was ottered.'" A man
who could use such language as that at such
d time could truly subscribe himself with
malice toward none and charity for ALL"

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

Dreadful Accident-A Colored Man In
StantLy RilIed.-Yesterday morning a COL
ored man named Ned Rollins, sometimes
called Ned Goode, was run over and in
stantly killed by an engine on the Richmond
and Danville railroad short distance east
OF Hull street. The particulars Of the sad
affair are as follows: just as engine No. 40,
with only tender attached, bound for the
Danvile wharves opposite Rockets, and
driven by Josiah. MoIes, passed the Hull
street crossing, Rollins was seen to attempt
to get upon the tender and to fall. The en-
CINE was backing with the tender in front.
Goode then commenced backing with the
tender and suddenly stumbled and fell, the
tender and engine passing over him.
Death was instant, and the body OF the un-
fortunate man was horribly crushed and
mutilated. Mr.. Moles Immediately stopped
his engine and went to the body, but life
was already extinct. Information was given
to Chief-of-P Police Lipscombe, and that Of
ficer immediately notified Coroner Ingram.
The Coroner heard the testimony OF En-
eineer Moles, John Robinson this tireman),
Benjamin F. Watkins, Boiling Perkins,
Robert Morton, and Isaac Price, several OF
whom were eye-witnesses OF the occurrence.
Neither Mr.. Moles nor his fireman saw the
man until after the engine had passed over
him. When the tender struck the body Dir.
Moles thought it was a piece OF wood that
had fallen from the tender. It was eighteen
feet from where the body was struck to
where it lay in death, and the engine was
stopped twenty-six feet from where the
body was struck, eyidencing very slow
rate of speed. .s..
All the witnesses testified that the engine
was running very slowly; that the bell was
ringing; that all the usual precautions were
taken 6y the engineer; and that the mans
death was entirely the result OF his own
care!essness. After view OF the body and
hearing these statements the Coroner de
cided that an inquest was unnecessary
The body was taken in charge by Captain
iLipscombe and inferred at the expense o.
