A VICTIM OF MISFoRTUNE.-W. W.
Fowler, of Guilford, Conn, who recently
died from paralysis caused by fall from
his wagon, illustrated in his life how
"unmerciful disaster may beset man,
and also how bravely humanity can bear
up under the ills to which it is exposed.
Accidents of more or less importance
beset him from his youth, and when he
was quite young man several barrels of
flour rolled over him, inilicting injuries
of a very serious nature. He recovered,
but only to face the series of misfortunes,
which at last drove him out of the world.
First came an accident that left him with
a broken hip, and this was followed by
others i'll which he had an arm and leg
broken. Sometimes his troubles took
the form of dangerous sickness, and from
several attacks of this kind n good con-
stitution and buoyant and hopeful tenn
permanent brought him to health again,
contrary to the expectations of his friends.
His farm was an excellent one, and upon
it he labored early and late. In his farm
buildings he took especial pride, for they
were models of their kind. Three times
were they destroyed by fire, when they
were filed with the years crops, and
with them went most of his farming tools
and machinery and his carriages and
wagons. In one OF two instsr ces = COM
binatlon of sickness and such losses cansad
a pressure under which most mel would
have yielded up their lives. He became
quite well known III his section of the
State as a man Of many misfortunes. Not
long ago, while improving his farm by
trying to remove n boulder, it fell upon
him while he was in an excavation by the
side of it. 1t was thought that the in
juries he then received must result III
death, but to the surprise OF many he
was once more in active life, apparently
as strong as ever, after having been con-
fined to his house for months. But III a
short time his last misfortune was to
come While driving to his home from
a neighboring town on a dark and rainy
night in July last, the wheels of his
wagon struck two stones which had been
laid bare in the road-bed, and the shock
was so great that the wagon-seat was dis
placed and Mr.. Fowler thrown to the
ground. His head struck the earth and
the leg of one of his boots caught upon
the wagon-step. In this insensible CON
dition he was dragged by his horse half a
mile. Then he was seen and taken 10 his
house. For over month he lay helpless
in bed, suffering great pam much of the
time. At length his internal injuries,
which had caused paralysis, overcame the
strong spirit that had fought SO well
against what almost seemed memorable
fate

We cannot show az much money as We

willing to be a Barlow paper last year; but
what little we can show is not fiat money.
If our present currency were fiat money

for a fiat currency, not gold or silver, or

advocate, such currency, and even out
Heroded the Grrcnhark IIerods, by wanting

The NEIGENNFs FTRE.-The fire which
destroyed the Cataract House at Nergennes
broke out at 2:3O Wednesday, Oct. lst. Mr..
HAYES, the owner, was in this city, and the
house was occupied only by Mrs. Hayes and
two children. When they were awakened
from the outside they found the smoke pour
ing into the sleeping room, and they had
barely time to escape. With great presence
of mind Mrs Hayes thought of trunk con-
tanning valuable books and papers of her
husbands, and called upon some one TO goin
for them. She was told it could not be done,
when she rushed into the house, and. with
strength far beyond her ordinary amount.
she raised the trunk and threw it through the
window and escaped. Owing to the scarcity
of water the fire department could do but
little Neighboring dwellings were in much
danger, and only the perfect stiffness of the
air prevented much more extensive fire.
The origin of the fire is somewhat mysteri-
Gus, as there had been no fl : in the building
the afternoon or evening previous.

seen the engraving of McDonough's victory
on Lake Champaign, and will remember a
large tree in the foreground of the picture.
The tree stood, it will be remembered, on
the McDonough farm, and was a prominent

During gale, the other day, the old land
mark was blown down. Six feet from the
ground it measured eleven feet in circumfer-
ence and was sixty-four feet high.
