uniformly exhibited the excellent
traits of christian, having been
member of the NJ f. Church for
about sixty years. During her last

Death has been very active among
our old people the last few days, and
a number of them have been gath
cred to their fathers" On Thursday
afternoon, Mr.. W. III. ii. Price, pro
prietor of the Price House, departed
ed this life, after months of suffering
and decline. He passed away peace
fully. His unyielding, unflinching
determination and cheerful DISPOSE
ton, enabled him to endure great
pain without losing hope, He at the
age of sixteen removed from King
wood, West Virginia, to this place, AZ
years ago. On the 4th day of March,
lS4l, the day on which Gen. Harri-
son latter whom he was named) was
inangurated President, he was mar
ried to Miss Morrison. He was the
first Republican Sheriff elected in this
county in 1856, and being so long in
public life he had a large number of
friends and acquaintance through
out the country. His connection
with hotel began when he was boy
which made him one of the veteran
landlords, if not the Oldest one in the
whole State. He was always so ge
NAL, accommodating and efficient in
his business relations that his many
patrons regarded him with great ia
vor, and sought his hotel. A very
exemplary widow and five children
remain-this being the first death in
the family. Funeral services will be
held at the house on Saturday after

She Felt Poorly.

An odd case is reported from Carlisle,
England. A doctor was called one even
ing at seven o'clock to visit lady aged
about fifJy-five, who had, as she de-
scribed it, being feeling poorly all day,
but could give no definite symptoms and
complained of no pain. During the ex-
animation he noticed change in her
speech. This led him 70 an inyestiga-
ton of the throat, Outwardly the neck
appeared normal, and nothing could be
telt to indicate an obstruction; he then
examined the rharynx, but no foreign
body could be seen there, and the ex-
animation only brought on vomiting
and straining. However, he determined
to look second time, and judge OF his
surprise to find bedded low back in the
pharynx a set of false teeth, which he
extracted with little trouble. Upon in.
quiry the woman said she had missed
her teeth about nine o'clock in the
morning, but had no idea she had swal-
lowed them. 1t is remarkable that they
4 had been in the pharynx without caus
ing her any pain for over ten hours.

Mr.. Beecher on EIOcution.

speech arising from a large palate, so
that when boy used to be laughed at
for talking as if | had pudding in my

of John Lowell, teacher of elocution,
and a better teacher for my purpose l
cannot conceive. His system consisted
in drill, or the thorough practice in
fexions by the voice, of gesture, posture
and articulation. Sometimes | was a

take a posture, frequently at mark
chalked on the floor. Then we would

each movement of the arm and throw

those of precision go in curves, the arm
rising from the side, coming to the front,
turning to the left or right. / was
drilled as to how far the arm should
ceme forward, where it should start
from, how far go back and under what
circumstances these movements should
be made. 1t was drill, drill, Grill, until
the motions almost became a second ma
ture. Now, l never know what move
ments / shall make. My gestures are
natural because this drill made them
natural to me. The only method of &C

it out, 1 say" commanded the stern
voice OF the superintendent.
The men in the air lock knew that to
obey this order meant sudden and sure
death to their companions, and they
hesitated. Again it come:
"Knock out the bull's-eye!n and then
the stern voice of the Superintendent
faltered little as it added, "and do
what you can for the rest of us!"
Blow upon blow fell upon the thick
glass, and was answered from the out
side by two men who had by this time
arrived with crowbars. The glass flew
out and the cold air rushed in.
"God take us to him and protect our
wife and babies I" muttered the superin-
tendent, and his hand closed tighter on
Patsy's.
"Poor Alice!" was all the latter could
articulate through his sobs. Instinc-
lively the eyes of both men met, and
their souls stood side by side.
The outside door was started little,
and suddenly flew open, With the rush
of air came the rush of water. The door
behind gave way, and the living, the
dead, and the dying were hauled out
toward the working shaft. The bodies
of all in the inner tunnel must have
caught in the outer door. Only Patsy
Horley's come out with the rush of
water. Two of the men seized his body,
and the whole party hurried up the lad
der to the ground.
Then, and only then, had the two men
an opportunity to pause and reflect that
behind them, beneath the water that
boiled and seethed in the dim light of
the tunnel, were the bodies of their dead
comrades and the brave superintendent.
Professional business called me to
Brooklyn the day of the accident, and
when l returned to the tenement house
in Avenue A, they were making prepar.
ations to wake poor Patsy Horley's
body.
He was terribly crushed and
mangled by the rapid rush
of water, and only lived two
hours after he was taken out of the
shaft. He was conscious, and his tel
low-workmen carried him tenderly
home. Teddy followed, weeping bit
terly. They laid the wounded man upon
the bed, and doctor ministered to his
sufferings. The walls of the poor
been laying with his eyes closed, but he
finally opened them and asked for
Teddy. The brother knelt by the bed
side and great sobs shook his frame.
Be mon, Teddy" whispered atsy.
"Sind for Alice and the praiste!'
When the little shirt-maker was led
weeping into the room, Patsy as TX ed
that they be left alone, and over that
last interview let us draw veil. Finally
some one stole into the room and found
them clasped in each others arms
Patsy was sinking fast, and the priest
approached the bedside and admins
tered to him the last rites OF the church
Then the dying man was propped up in
bed. He called Teddy and Alice to the
bedside and made them join hands.
Pm dead mon," he said huskily
Promise me, both ov yees, that yell
be thrue to aich otherm
Both bowed their heads. He beckoned
for the priest and whispered few word;
in his ear.
A smile of thankfulness beautifed the
homely face of Patsy as the last word;
Of the impressive service fell from til,
priests lips, and stretc hing out his hand!
died before any could reach him.

Words of Wisdom.

No man can ask honestly or hopefully
to be delivered from temptation unless
he has himself honestly and firmly de-
termined to do the best he can to keep
out of it.
Whoever looks for friend without
imperfections will never find what he
seeks. We love ourselves with all our
faults, and we ought to love our friends
in like manner.
The winters frost must rend the burr
OF the nut before the fruit is seen. So
adversity teinpers the human heart to
discover its real worth.
Tue good things which belong to
prosperity may be wished; the good
things whi III belong to adyersity are to
be admired.
Such is the constitution of things that
unwillingness TO goodness may ripen
into eternal voluntary opposition TO 1t.
A man of true genius is generally as
simple as a child, and as unconscious Of
his power as an elephant.
We promise according to our hopes,
but perform according to our fears.
Good, honest, faithful work, steadily
persevered in, seconded by good habits,
never yet went long unrewarded.
Gain the confidence of your children
in their younger years, and they will not
be afraid to trust you later in life.
Happy is he who has learned this one
thing-to do the plain duty of the
moment quickly and cheerfully, what
ever it may be.
