A Strange Accident.

rather singular accident occurred in
Wethersfeld, Conn.,, the other evening"
Two families by the name of Starr and
Sheldon occupy the Rhodes house Mr..
Starr was trying some sort of an expert
ment with pail of oil and varnish, when
it caught fire and blazed up brightly.
1t was dark, and as Mr.. Sperry happened
to be out in the yard he ran to the window
thinking the house was on fire. Just as
he got there Mr.. Starr threw the burning
varnish out of the window, and singular
enough, it struck Mr.. Sperry fair in the
face. In his agony the injured man start
ed on run with the intention Of jumping
into hogshead of water near by, but COW
cred as his face was by plaster of burn
ing varnish which completely blinded him
he failed to reach the water and, stumbling
fell to the ground. Assistance was imme-
diately rendered, but the victims face was
shockingly burned. 1t was feared that he
would lose his eyesight, but although his
face presents terrible appearance, he is
thankful he can see, and his friends look
forward to his complete recovery.

Forty-two Children.

John Hepner of Reading was born in
Germany in 1915. In 1910 he married.
His wife lived eight years, and bore him
seventeen children. She presented him
with twins the first year of their marriage.
The next year another pair of twins was
born. Every year for four years thereafter
Mrs. Hepner gave birth to triplets. The
seventh year was signalized by the birth
Of only one child to the couple. Mr..
Hepner's seventeen children, the oldest
one7 years Of age, were taken in charge
three months after Mrs. Hepner's death by
a young German lady, who became the Sec
ond Mrs. Hepner. The first Mrs. Hepner
died in February, 1S4S. Iu February 1849,
her successor presented Mr.. Hopner with
boy. On Christmas day of the same year,
the nineteenth child was added to the Hep
ner flock. Once year for five years after
ward the family was increased by twins,
and for three years after that, one child
year was born to Mr.. Hepner. The last
three were born in this country, Mr.. Hep
ner having emigranted from Germany in
1854. In 1857 his wife died, having been
married nine years. OF the thirty.two
children that had been born to Hepner
twelve died. In 1858 he married a widow
with one child. The third wife bore him
nine children in ten years by single births.
Mr.. Hepner and his last wife are still liv-
ing.

Cost of Living in New York, 1894.

The Tontine House, under the care of
Mr.. Hyde, is the best hotel in New York
He sets from twelve to sixteen dishes every
day. He charges for years board, with
out liquor, three hundred and fifty to four
hundred dollars. Butter in the market is
thirty-seven and half cents per pound !;
beef, compared with English beef, is poor !;
turkeys are sixty-two and half cents each; ;
common fowls are twenty-five cents each.
OF "Albany beef" sturgeon, you can get
enough for twelve and half cents to feed a
family. Oysters are plenty and large
Peaches sell two cents for three to six of
them. All ranks of people smoke cigars
six or seven inches long. Silver money is
plenty, but gold is rarely seen. The popu-
Iation Of the city is about thirty thousand.
There are two places of public entertain
ment in the environs of the city that are
much visited in the Summer one il called
i3eividere, ION Buuker's Hill,) and the 9th
or Bundling's Gardens. Extract from an
old Letter.
