A Marvellous Escape.

During the great forest fire near Up ton Junction, Edouard Leroy and two women were imprisoned by the flames in a dry ditch. They were escaping with other members of the family, the son driving. Leroy and the women were seated upon large feather mattress, and at bridge the wagon jolted so badly that the man and two women were thrown off. The driver whipped his horse the harder as the flames were upon them. Escape seemed hopeless for Leroy and his companions, when bright idea struck him, and calling to the women to follow him he entered the ditch and pushing the mattress up close to the end from which the flames were ap- preaching he thus formed petit cut dc sac, and knowing that feathers would singe but not burn he felt safe. Occa- sionally the fire would find its way in, when with handful of mud he would stop the opening through which it came. They were five hours in this living oven. The mattress was singed through hali way and the refugees were more than warm enough for comfort. They were unhurt. Several hares, rabbits and squirrels sought the same refuge, and SC frightened were the women that they never thought of harming them. The common danger leveled the human ami, nal and the beast.

Stirring Up the Celestials.

A few nights ago some of the Dubuque boys conceived the idea of testing the nerves of Wong Ching Fou and Sam Lee, and for this purpose they built Q burly man of straw, fas tened murder ous looking straw club in his hand held in striking attitude, placed the villain ous-looking fraud against the back door of the washee-h house and then went in front to await developments. Presently Wong Ching opened the back door to go out when before his terrified vision there stood the would-be assaulter with his fearful bludgeon lifted ready for the murderous assault. The door flew to and Wong flew, too, and so did Sam, and both of them united in chorus wild of "Plieceman killee qlik buglee stealee! roblee feefe P and several other Americanisms which betrayeda far more liberal acquaintance with the Uni ted States language than the Orientals had generally been suspected of. A few of the neighbors rushed to their assist ance.

CaledOnIan Fun,

Pig, in the old fashioned Scotch, was term always used for coarse earthen- ware jar or vessel. The story is well known of the good-natured chamber maid who said to an English lady who had lately arrived in Scotland for the first time in her life, "Would you like Q het crock in your bed this cauld nicht, mem?"

Two Patriarchal Apple Trees.

In Skowhegan, Me-, are two russet apple trees. The oldest was planted in
 1762. The tree is seven feet from the ground to the branches, five in number,
 all of which are very large and average thirty-five feet in length, covering 8 space of ground sixty-three feet in diam eter. In those branches playhouse for children has been built for half cen tury or more. Anywhere from the ground to the brances it measures thir- teen and @ half feet. The tree is more than four and half feet in diameter,
 and it has been good bearer-from twenty five to thirty five bushels of ap- pies having been picked from it each year. But the frost and rain have made seam in the branches, and recently one of them has broken, but the other four are green and bring forth their fruit in due season. The other tree is forty eight years younger and sprout of the old tree. It stands thirty two feet from the old tree, and bears the same kind of apples, is three feet in diameter and perfect in every way. The farm was deeded to the grandfather oi Coburn Ireland in 176O, has passed from father to son until 1876, and then pass ed into the hands of Daniel H. Gould, the present owner.-Boston 7ranscript.
