Peter Mcdonald met with serious
accident this week. He WAS telling a
tree and had made the last blow with his
axe, and, as ne supposed, retired to a safe
position; but the tree fell in direction
contrary to that which he had anticipated
and, coming in contact With another tree
standing near, it jumped from the stump
and the butt end struck the young man
on the leg and threw him to the ground.
The bone Of his leg was fractured and

Some weeks ago we mentioned that few
of our prominent citizens were interesting
themselves in the formation Of Real Estate
Association 1t was the intention of the
body to build houses to rent or sell OH the i'll.
stallment plan. The scarcity Of dwelling
houses is one of the greatest impediments to
the progress OF our city. The proposed plan
of supplying this demand was good, feasible
! and remuneratyie. Now is the time for own.
crs of real eatate to make it valuable. The

which Weston is the natural commercial cen

us to improve the s4lvantage we possess o.
allow it to sl,p from our grasp forever.

Poetry:

The following poetical production is the

nent members of the Weston Literary and
Musical Association, and as such is entitled
TO careful perusal. While we are careful
not to admit nything in our colur,ns but that
which is first-class, it must be admitted that
this poem IS not devoid Of genuine merit In
the frat place it il not very long. Then.
again, that teuching allusion to the hungry
cayuse is redclent with the pure spirit Of

production and therefore We give apac- to this
budding Of local talent.
The ChinOoA.
Cp from the south came ths set chinook.
And the kingdom OF frost to It's centre shook:
1t breatted on the brow of the snow clad hills.
And their vrsture changed into rushing rills:

And they waved thc!- arms ia the melting breoze;
II fann'd the face of old mother earth,
And she swept Wild streams CT grateful mirth;
II brushed the hair of the starved cayuse,
And 1t howed with 10Y like a ssd reeluse

And Gil nature srinn'd such change to sce.

Three Oystors.

''Are you in hurry pa Brooklyn oyster

ordered dozen, and was plainly in haste,
but seeing that lady had entered the
saloon, lie said that he had plenty Of time,
and began to MUNICH broken crackers until
the oyster man was again ready to wait

''What can do for you, ma am ?" tho
dealer inquired, turning to the lady.

toner demanded, looking suspiciously at
some large ones on the board.
''Only two hours out of the water" the
dealer answered, "hardly dead yet. Only
six cents pound"
''Wcigh that one for me-" the lady said.
The fish weighed five pounds that was too
large; another weighed two; but that was
too small. A third weighed three anu a
half that was just right but tho lady had
changed her mind and preferred haddock
This, also, WAS Fix cents, aud a fish OF
suitable weight was soon found; but four
cents pound was all that the customer
was willing to give. Moreover, she had
now set her heart upon smclts, and as there
was none in the saloon, she turned her At
lention to oysters.

take recess after eating three oysters.
'Certainly not," the lady said snap
pishly. "lm in hurry" and as the man
had by this time finished nearly all the
crackers and, in great measure, lost his
appetite for oysters, he said, politely, that
he was willing to wait.
The fifty oysters were opened, and,
after closely examining them, the lady said {:
Nov, L don't mind giving you fifty
cents for those if you will paste them over
with flour and egg, and fix them up for
frying just as they do in Fulton Market. "
The dealer breathed very hard as he
looked at his unpromising customer "Per-
haps," he said, you would like me TO go
to your house and cook them for YOU"
Without another word the lady gathered
up her gloves, handkerchief and reticule,
restored her purse toits place in the latter
receptacle, and, bestowing upon the dealer
look OF combined scorn and indignation,
swept out Of the saloon.
"Wcll, women is queer creatures" the
dealer muttered, as he looked ut the reccd-

A Home Seal.

Major Urch, last week hauled up on tho
the river bank near his house at Newcastle
Bridge, Conn, the tank in which he kept a
pair of seals last summer; and ono of the
seals having short time ago died, sadly
turned tho other adrift In the river, rart-
ing with it in much tho same frame of mind
as man parts with a favorlte dog, The
seal much more gcntlo and affectionate than
many dogs, at first made use of Its liberty
to have good swim around in the river,
coming up alongside of every boat 1t saw,
and saluting the surprised occupants with
its whistling cry; but at length, tiring of
this, it turned to the bridge only TO find its
summer home gone For about four hours
the homeless seal hunted for its tank,
evincing distress at not being able to find
it as plainly as dog shows trouble when
his master is in trouble when his master Is
gone; but at last it saw its tank on the
bank, and with extravagant demonstrations
OF Joy Topped across the intervening beach
and clamored into its loved habitation, now
entirely free of water, and there it still re-
manned the last wu heard.

Revolutionary Relics.

Half dozen stalwart horses pulled a
wagon into the yard OF the Bush Hill Iron
Company, at Twentieth and Buttonwood
streets, Philadelphia. On the wagon were
four cannon. They were so red that at a
distance they might have been taken for
rolls Of clay. A close inspection proved,
however, that they were covered with a
thick coat Of rust so thick, in fact, that
large pieces could have been Clipped out in
some parts with a pcn-knifc. A hundred
years ago, between Warwick and Valley
Forge, charcoal iron furnace was in opera
ton. Ii was known as the "Potts" furnace,
from the fact that it was owned by q family
of that name. Hero the cannon was
moulded into form, and here they were
lying in l777, but few days before tho
battle OF Brandywinc. Gen. Anthony
Wayne was connected with the Potts family,
and fearing that the cannon might fall into
british, hands, sent Il request, only day
before that memorable battle, that they
might be hid beyond the possibility of dis
covcry. How to comply with this request
was a matter which much puzzled the hon.
est Pottsea. Finally they hit upon device.
There was Il swamp in the meadows a short
distance away, and there il was determined
to inter the guns. Oxen were procured,
and the iron weapons were dragged across
The field and were allowed to sink down
deep in the mud. There they was safe
from being counted with the British spoils.
""r the last hundred years the Potts family,
'lc generation succeeding another, has re-
.nained on tho homestead. and the story of
the buried cannon has been handed down.
In 1875 the idea of recovering them occur
ed to the present representative of the race,
and before the year had closed the cannon
were a6oyc ground. One of the four WIS
in such good state Of preservation that
six-pound charge of powder was fired out
OF it on the first day of the Centennial year.
Recently MIR. Potts conceived the idea of
selling the entire lot to Il furnace owner,
and, in spite of the rcmonstracces of his
neighbors, who declared that it would be
gross sacrlege to destroy such historic
articles, he carried ,'ut his idea. The can
non will be melted preparatory to hcing
turnfcd into rolling mill machinery.
