AN IMMENSE CORPSE.
The COfin and Grave of Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady.

Auburn On. " News.l
A firm Of undcrtakers took to.
Fleming this noon a casket. which
was probably the largest ever seen in
this city. 1t was to i%nclose the re-
mains of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady; was
six feet long, two feet ten inches across.
the top and twenty-one inches deep.
The box enclosing it was six feet eight
inches in length, three feet two inches
in width and two feet two inches in
depth. The casket was an ele-
giant affair. 1t was covered with black
brOadcloth with trimmings, and on ac-
count of its extreme size was strongly
braced with iron supports. 1t would
easily have accommodated six per-
sons by placing them one upon anoth-
ca, three abreast. Mrs. Cady was in
the sixtioth year Of her age, and the
circumstances Of her death are singu-
lar. Thursday evening she proceeded
to retire, and when she went up stairs
she was feeling as well as usual, She
was able to be about Friday, although
slightly indisposed. AT 7 o'clock that
evening she retired and told her as
sistants if she fell asleep not to wake
her. A lamp was left burning by her
bedside, and by 8 o'clock she was OBJ
served to be apparently sleeping. Sat
urday morning she was found dead,
and it is thought she was dead when
supposed to be wrapped in slumber
at 8 o'clock the night before.
The casket could not be taken into
the house on account Of the extreme
proportions, aud the remains had to
be brought out of doors and placed in
it. Mrs. Cady weighed over three
hundred pounds, and consequently it
was no easy task to prepare her for
burial. Some dea of the size Of the
casket can be gained when it is said
that it was wider thar Hubbard e.
Searl's sleigh-box, and it was tipped
up partially to one side so as to be
carried. The grave, as pictured by
imagination, was a miniature ehasm.
and the great weight must have tested
the bearers strength in lowering the
body into the last resting-place. Mrs.
Cady was only five feet one inch tall.
and, as will be inferred, presented the
sight of a ponderous mass of human
flesh.

FEMININE PLUCK.
How a RanChers Wife Got Out Of Her
Difficulties.

Liyermore (Col.l Herold.l
The wife Of a certain well-known
rancher living near this place has got
the true grit. Her husband was away
on business a wh.le week recently.
and one day while he was absent the
pump gave out. The nearest neighbor
lived a long distance, so she hoisted up
the pipe herself, and found that the
trouble lay in the suction leather.
which was too much worn TO work
properly. Away she went and cut a
new one, using the old one as a pattern.
On returning she found that a large
hog had fallen into the open well.
Nothing daunted, she got a strong
rope, made a slip-noose, fshed it
around the ~squealing porker, and then
lifted as hard as she could, made the
end fast to the curb, thus raising the
animal partially out Of the water and
preventing it from drowning. She
then harnessed a horse, hitchcd him
~ the rope, and in less time than it
takes to tell it, that hog,

lost balance aud were now laundering
around in the water at the bottom.
Instantly the hog was rescued, our
heroine set about the recovery of the
pigs. She procured a ladder, which,
though long enough to touch the wa
ter, was not long enough to touch the
bottom of the we'll. Necessity is the
mother of invention, and procuring a
fence rail she thrust it through the
TOP round, Fagting both ends on the
curb. Then climbing down the hang
ing ladder she rescued the two pigs,
bringing both safely to the surface.
This done she quietly completed the
by putting in the new suction
leather, lowering the pipe into the
we'll, closing the curb and pumping
water for her week. washing,
