The Late Sam Patch.

Some one inquired of the editor of the BATH
ridn what he knew Of ''Sam Patch,r and what
was his real name. The editor interviewed an
old citizen of Genesee county. and answered ::
"Sam Patcis' real name was Samuel Patch. but
10y consent the uel was torn off in his boyhood,
and was never aftcrward patched on. Sam was
first discovered in or about Peterson, n. j. He
didn't dcvclop-weh boy or man. He was as
good natured as the day was long, and as shift
less and dissipated ~ he was gootl-natured. His

careful mother and all over his face by the ef-
fects of the ''water he took in hzzenr He Ind.
occasionally, lucd intervals. In one of these he
determined to be patch the face of creation
no longer, and 80 he hurried To the Passaic river
with suicidal intent, and with a mighty leap
went over its beautiful falls and into its seeth-
ing waters below. But as the lamentetl Greeley
had At, 'though he tried TINS to give up the
ghost, the ghost refused to he given up," and
Sam came out alive and well. An idea struck
him. He has new way for n lazy man to make
living. He'd jump, the crowds would pay.
lie utilized his idea, jumped falls here and there
all over the country; went To Niagara Falls and
leaped safely down that tremendous cataract

A Young Widow.

a certain census enumeratOr of this city called
npOn a woman the other day who resides not far
from the Capitol, and PropOunded the usual ques-
tons by law directed The woman said she
was widow, her age was twenty-five, and her
eorter, on receiving the name Of the wOman's de-
ceased husband and his occupation when alive,
suruIscd that he must have been n relative ii
not the same Mr.. B., who was n member OF
the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh New York
Volunteers during the war. A conversation en-
sned, when finally the the enumerator innocently
asked If he husband was the same Mr.. B.
who died during the war, saying that he himself
was a member Of the same regiment, and that he
was well acquainted with the man. The widow,
IN modified tone, replied: ''Oh yes, but that
was q long time ago." The amusing part of the
affair Is that the man has been dead about sew
enteen years, and if the woman is only twenty
five, she became n widow ut the early age Of
eight years.-dlbdRs drgHs
