LIGHT IN THE SICK RooM.-Alpheus
has been having long spell of fever,
and it was necessary to have light
burning all night in his room. We live
out in the country, so no gas was &C.
cessible. Candles fickered disagree
ably, and kerosene lamp when turned
low always had an annoying smell for
an invalid, so I bethought of a light
my mother used to improvise, when. 1
was child, before kerosene, with its
attending dangers, was known. 1t was
made by taking a saucer of lard, and
cutting piece of newspaper in cir

twisting the centre of this up to a point
and burying all but the tip in the lard.

An Old Time Funeral.

The following bill, found among the
old papers in the attic of the old City
Building, is of interest as showing the
manner of doing things a couple Of
hundred years ago. The bill, as will
be seen, is for the expenses of sick
man and of his burial, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that the man was in some way q
charge upon the town, and that the bill
was presented to the town. The
amounts for the fifth and sixth charges
are unintelligible, but the total shows
that the two together amounted to two
shillings, six pence. It will be seen
that the liquor bill at the burial was
more than the cost of the coffin and dig
ging the grave; while the bill for liquor
during his sickness lonly five days.
and at the burial was more than that
for coffin, digging the grave, grave
clothes, and laying out the body. The
following is the bill:

ice and then falling iron fence in front of
Schmidts place, in Fiftyrst street. in March, 1875.
This judgment was yesterday reversed by the Gen.

claimed that the liability arose from the fact that
the defendant had allowed the ice to remain on
the sidewalk in violation Of Corporation ordi-
nance requiring owners OF premises to remove
snow and ice in front OF them. Judge Beach, who
writes the opinion, says that there is obligation
by the common law the part Of owners of ada
cent buildings to keep the sidewalk clear from
cumberances arising from natural causes, and that
the violation Of the corporation ordinance cannot
entail any other penalties than those provided by it,
