A Farmers Expensive smske.

Arthur Calomel of Cumberland coun-
ty, Pa, visited Carlisle on Saturday
with his wife for the purpose Of pur-
chasing new furniture. Having pur-
chased the furniture they started on
their return, the farmer riding one of
the horses attached to a borrowed wag-
on, and the wife occupying a seat in
the vehicle. When about mile out
side of Carlisle the wife discovered that
the straw beneath her had become ig-
nited by q spark from the farmers
pipe, and calling his attentish to the
fact she sprang from the wagon. This
action famed the sparks on her cloth
ing into blaze, and in an instant she
was enveloped in flames. Two young
men passing by ran to her assistance
and by tearing the clothes from her
saved her from burning, and perhaps
death, although she was left in cos
tune assumed only by natives Of an
extremely warm climate. She was
then wrapped in shawl AID taken to
a neighboring house to be properly
In the meantime the FIRE in
the wagon had gained head-way and
before the horses could be unhitched
and water applied the body of the ve-
hiCle and all its contents were consum-
ed.

A Remarkable FanlIy.
From the New York Sun.


In the little village Of Morton, N. j.
lives a remarkable family. The mis-
tress Of the house ia a tall we'll. preser
we'd woman of s. just now enjoying
the best Of health. In fact, her whole
life has been one long season Of good
health. She has raised twenty foul
children, twenty Of whom still live. On
q olsanly kept farm about one mile
from the homestead lives the Oldest
child who is nearing three score and ten.
The youngest child resides at Ham
mondsport, N. Y, and is engaged in the
cultivation Of grapes. He is 80 years
OF age. The entire family are in ex-
callent health. The produce of the
farm is taken to market by this old lady
and she does all the housework, with
the addition of four COWS to milk twice
daily. The old Methodist church finds
every member Of the family circle pre-
sent on Sunday at both morning and
evening service. A brother Jacob, 80
years Of age, cuts two cords Of wood a
day. He has never been outside of
Hunterdou county. Their home is their
world, and it seems to be happy one
to them.

AnnletQn,A JOurnal.

The opening paper in "Appleton's
Journal" for May is Of very great inter-
est. 1t consists OF copious selections
frsm a work recently published in Eng
land, entitled "Conversations with Dis
tinguished Persons during the Second
Empire, from 1860 to 1868" by the
late Nassau William Senior. Mr.. so.
nior was Master in Chancery, and had
unusual opportunities for intimacy with
distinguished French contemporaries.
The article in "Appleton's Journap
consists Of a number of remarkably
spirited aud suggestive passages from
The editor has grouped
together large number relating to
Louis Napoleon, which give some new
and strange insights into the late En-
peror's character. Another very fresh
article, or story it may be called, is by
Ivan Tourgueniea, called "Monsieur
Francois" which describes mysterious
and eccentric Parisian character, whose
predictions of the revolu
tion soon to follow (it was in 1S4S) will
lie read now with profound attention.
NJ. De Lesseps' reply to the suez Canal
article in the previous number is given
to which is appended note from Judge
Morgan, the author Of that article.
There is paper on "Metternich," and
one on the French painter Rsgnault;
"The Philosophy Of Drawing-Rooms"
is discussed; Science in Its relation to
the discovery of Crime is considered,
and number Of striking examples CIV
en-; paper called "The Story Of THE
of Venice" is very readable;
and the EDITORS departments is well FILL

Five wives In ll2 Years.

The death Is announced at Gjjon, in
northern Spain, OF very old gentle
man indeed, who had completed his one
hundred and twelfth year only few
days before he quite unexpectedly paid
the debt of naturs. He had success
fully withstood the wear and tear OF
fve successive marriages during his
long life. His last wedding day was
also the eighty. ninth anniversary Of
his birth, upon which occasion he es-
poused comely maiden Of seventeen
whose union with him resulted In the
addition Of two sturdy boys to his for
mer family Of six.and twenty sons, the
fruits of his previous matrimonial alli-
ances.

Tried to get mis- N oney Back.

In March last Josiah Chappell, OF
Chester county, visited Philadelphia,
and while passing along the street his
attention was attracted by John G..
Norton, who was volubly descanting
upon the virtues of the "Gypsy's
Gift" Chappsll was struck with It's
valuable properties and suffering as
he did frsm an affection Of the leg, he
applied to Norton for relief, who prom
ised to cure him if he would purchase
a certain quantity Of the panaeea.--
Chappell did SO, but a cure did not
follow, and he then prosecuted Norton
for obtaining from him by false pre-
tences rs cents. The case came up on
Wednesday before Judge Finletter in
the Quarter Sessions, when the Judge
said such prosecution made the law
ridiculous, and the jury thereupon ac-
Quilted Norton.

1.-THE "Times" from Kansas City, says |:
"The simple announcements few days

The revelations made from time to
tiue by the officers Of the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children"
of the dreadful drink havoc, especially
Of the suffering and degradation which
it causes among helpless and depen.
dent children, are painful and shocking
in the extreme. The "New York Her
aid OF the 10Th ult. made public the
following concerning recent victims:
"Oiiicer Chiardi, of the Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty 10 Children,
acting on the information received,
wert to No. 3 Mechanic alley, where
he found Minnie Green, q colorsd girl
aged eleven, in q sad condition. The
girls step-fsther, a man named Joseph
Carr, living in Brooklyn, was In the
habit Of visiting the child and compell-
ing her to drink spirits until she was
intoxicated, beating her savagely ifshs
declined the liquor. The girls meth.
er residcs at Stanford, having left Carr
on account of ill.treatment. Matron
Webb is now attending TO the girl at
the Central Office.
The Same officer then went To No. 3l7
East Forty.fourth Street, where on the
third floor, rear, he found a child
named Minnie Hughes, aged six years,
entirely nude and her body completely
covered with bruises. The room was
filthy aud without either chair or table.
In company with Minnie Hughes were
two small children, who were crying
for bread. Lying on the floor, in
bsastly state Of intoxiaation, was wo-
nan named Mrs. Harrington, the moth.
er of the two last mentioned children.
Mr.. Chiardi, on hearing the appeal for
bread, at once departed and procured
some victuals for tho children. The
officer then brought some clothing for
Minnie Hughes and took her to Police
Headquarters, where she was given in
,harge Of Matron Webb"

The Board Of City Commissioners met
this morning, when the following from the
City S,licitor was read:
'Gentlemen--In answer to your inquiry
with regard 10 the present powers Of the
Board of City Commissioners, will say
that iIave no official notification of the
passage of any law abolishing said Board,
but, assuming that the said Board has been
abolished, and that the act abolishing it
gUes into effect from and after its
lassage, 1t is probable that said
Board has 10 right, no legal right, to per-
form further official duties; but I ndvise
YOU, as l advised the Board uf Public
Works when it was abolished. to perform
no business except to look after the prop
erty If the cit, until your successors are
appointed and qualified.
Respectfully submitted,
