Voluntary DumbnesS for Fifty
Years.

Asahel P. Inman, who lived two
miles east of Utica, died to-day, aged
sixty-six years. Although possessing
the faculty of speech, he has not ut
tered two consecutive words for fifty
years. When sixteen years old, hear
ing his father swear at member Of
his family, he made vow that he
would never speak again. This VOW
was kept for seven years. He then
met with an accident, which bruised
the fingers of his left hand, the pain
drawing from him the exclamation,
ooh ~ On but one other occasion
was he heard to speak. This time
the word "See" was called forth by
snake that crawled over sleeping
child. A column might be filled by
the recital of Inman's eccentricities.
Some of his deyices to avoid CONVEX
sation were crafty in the extreme.
His death was as strange as his life.
Friday last member of the house
hold said there were several mice in
the grain. Going out to look he
stepped upon stool, but missing his
footing, fell and was rendered un-
conscious. The shock was severe
one and he died almost instantly. He
was a close student, and he has left a
voluminous diary during his fifty
years of silence. He leaves fortune
of $4,000 to nephew, with the adj
monition, keep your mouth shut"
Notwithstanding his silence, he was
a great favorite in the neighborhood
in which he lived.-Utica IN. "

ANINDEPENDENT AND CONSCI-
ENTIOUS LEGISLATOR.

The LYON COUNTY TIMES has set
Senator Shepherd down as a railroad
man-one who will legislate in favor
of the railroads. To those who know
Senator Shepherd, denial OF this
statement is unnecessary; but new
crtheless take it upon myself
to deny it. I have seen and
watched the Senator on the floor
OF the Senate for two sessions pre-
vious to the present, and know that
his every word has been spoken and
his every vote cast on the side OF the
people. and, furthermore, that he has
never in his Legislative career shown
signs of being owned by any corpo-
ration or man or set of men. | make
this statement unsolicited by Mr..
Shepherd, and in making it am actu'
ated only by a sense of justice to-
wards a man who has proven him
self an exceptionally independent
and conscientious legislator.
The TIMES is pleased to learn that
II. was mistaken in naming Senator
Shepherd as one of the Senators
reckoned on by the railroads.

A Woman Who Couldn't Appreci.
ate a Good Thing.

The lawyers frequently have appli-
eants for divorce who give singular
grounds for their petition, but
the most singular one came last
week when young woman of West
field asked for a divorce from her
newly-made husband because he had
very thick lips. The lawyer told her
she could hardly get divorce on
that ground and suggested that usu-
ally the wife knew what kind Of lips
her husband had before marriage.
The parties in question are we'll
known in town and were married
only week or two ago, but sepa-
rated the day after the ceremony.
The husband is not over 90, and,
though member Of the church and
never liquor drinker, got drunk
soon after the separation and in dis
gust has left town, where he had
lived since boy.-Springfeld Re-

Fashionable Honesty.

Not long ago, in neighboring
city, one of the bellies of society ac-
cepted the matrimonial proposition
of a worthy young gentleman and
was asked by him to name the day.
She consulted her parents-who had
previously given their consent to the
match-and family council was
held. The decision reached was
curious, as we'll as characteristic OF
our country and age. The father
and mother agreed that the social
position of their daughter required a
grand wedding. The father, how
ever, announced that misfortunes in
business had brought him on the
verge of bankruptcy; that he was in
fact preparing to make an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors.
To this the mother replied that the
grand wedding, being of primary i'm
portance, it must of course take pre-
cedence of the assignment for pecu
mary reasons easily understood. And
it was ordered. The marriage &C.
CURED amid a blaze or glory, duly
chronicled in the newspapers, and a
few days afterwards Mr.. Smiths pa
per went to protest and his credi-
tors took possession of his limited
assets. Not long ago, considerably
nearer home, a fond husband in
formed his loving wife that his finan-
cial affairs were in that condition
which indicates a speedy and disas-
trous collapse. The wife said little,
but thought much. The result IF
her meditation was that the next day
she went down town and bought
seal skin sacque and a set of dia-
monds. She told female neighbor,
who knew of the impending calami
ty, that the sacque and diamonds
"would last her a lifetime; that if
she did not get them now she never
would, and so she got them" The
collapse came in due season and it is
hardly necessary to remark that the
furrier and jeweler are whistling for
their money.-St. Louis Paper.

A Burr In His Windpipe for Nine.
ty.Three bays.

William Sides, farmer living
near this place, was thrown from his
horse and dragged through the brush
a short distance one day last October.
For few minutes he was insensible,
and, upon gaining his feet, felt a
strangling sensation in his throat.
From the time of his accident
until yesterday, when he cough
ed up large huckleburr, he
experienced much suffering, and was
compelled to speak in whisper.
Mr.. S. was in Falmouth to-day ex-
hibiting the burr, which he said had
been lodged in his windpipe ninety
three days.-Falmouth (Ky.) Special.

How a Princess Walks, Slips and
Talks.

Two covered sleighs, brought ex-
pressly from Buffalo, were provided,
and the party at once crossed over
the river by means of the new sus-
pension bridge, the Princess Louise
thus paying her first visit to the soil
of the United States. The feat Of
crossing the frontier was very quietly
accomplished, though quite crowd
of people witnessed it. When Her
Royal Highness passed for the first
time under the Stars and Stripes,
which were floating magnificently in
the breeze, she became enthusiastic
and actually cheered the emblem.
The party proceeded up Falls street
to Buffalo and down Buffalo to the
village of Niagara Falls, and thence
into full view of the Niagara river.
From thence they went to Goat
Island. At the stairway of Luna
Island the vice-regal party alighted
and descended the icy steps. The
steps were quite slippery, but the
whole party were provided with stout
walking sticks and succeeded very
nicely in getting to the foot. On re-
turning the Princess slipped, and but
for the prompt assistance rendered by
his Excellency she would have fallen.
Again entering the sleigh the party
went to Horseshoe Falls. Here
creepers were placed upon the heels
of the ladies of the party and they
descended to the cataract. None of
the party spoke for some time. The
Princess was the first to speak. She
exclaimed enthusiastically: "Oh,
isn't it just glorious!"

AFTER ALL it seems that

-APTRR ALL it seems that a
few Ohio people can do something
besides run for President; the statis-
tics of the unpretentious town OF
Akron show that there were thirteen
Opponents from that place within q
year. This is something that there
cannot be too much of, and il the
girls could only have their way
about it they would doubtless
have three or four times as
many elopements from this ane town
alone. Next to getting married in
awful style, an elopemeutis dearest to
the young feminine heart. Climbing
out of second-story window and
falling in angelic confusion into the
arms of a nice young man whom
your father doesn't like, is just too
nice for anything. A young lady
who Will jump upon CHAIR 1t the
suggestion Of mouse, can always
get enough courage together to do
u thing like this, and defy the old
gentleman and the watch dog and
the future. But it is kind Of amuse-
nent that is encouraged by many
fathers with family of grown-up
daughters on hand; they have dis
covered that the surest way to dis
pose of their girls is to forbid their
marrying and then locking them up,
so that there is nothing left for them
but to run away.

for him, but disgraceful in its de-
tails. He is engineering Il bill

A Bread and Water Banquet.

The Crispin Society of this city
held bread and water "banquet"
this evening, al Rechabite Hall, as a
burlesque of the entertainment of
the Shoe and Leather Board of Trade
on Monday evening last at the Car
rollton. The bill of fare was printed,
and read as follows:
NENu.-1. Bread and good water.
Q. Water and gos bread.
q. Water and bread.
Under this was the following ex-
tract from Henry Ward Beecher's
sermon: as not a dollar u day
enough to buy bread Water costs
nothing: and man who cannot live
on bread is not fit to live. A fam.
lily may live, laugh, love and be
happy that eats bread in the morn
ing, with good water, and water and
good bread at noon, and water and
bread at night" The cloth was re-
moved from table near the Presi-
dents desk, and there was displayed
q huge pile Of bread and a pitcher
water, with tin mugs. The President
wanted all those present to help
themselves, which was promptly re-
sponded to.-Baltimore Special.

Monday night at 10 $50 o'clock fire was
discovered in the upper portion of the
store orc. 4. Campbell on corner OF

ing was a frame structure and the fire
spread rapidly. The buildings con-
snmed were the store house with ware

Hams bakery, grocery store anG
dwelling house, Prof. Myths Office and

ed for 81, 800. 5. p. Gaut's library and

The scarcity of butter in the Cleve-
land and adjoining markets at the pres
ent time is attributed to the fact that
cows can hardly make a living for
themselves. The want of rain in most
portions Of the county has killed the
grass, and cattle have nothing in the
outside world to subsist on. A farmer
was telling us a few days ago that he
had to feed his COW from his barns.
This is the case we hear in several Sec
tons. If we don't have more rain
shortly there'll be nothing to grease
"corn dogers" with.
