Died of His Injuries.

The man run over by the Naugatuck train at Seymour Monday, while lying on the track intoxicated, died Tuesday afternoon. He was brought down to Ansonia by the train that ran over him, and Dr. Baldwin, assisted by Drs Pinneo of Derby and War ner of Seymour, amputated the right foot at the ankle, and part of the hand. He was very weak from the loss of blood and the shock, and died in the afternoon about one o'clock. The deceased had been visiting rel atives in Ansonia and bought ticket for Naugatuck, leaving on the s:1O p. m. train. At Seymour he must have left the cars, for the engineer of the next train (11 p. m. ) says that as he rounded the curve at Sand
 bank hill, at this end of Seymour, he saw g man lying on the track but could not stop his train although the brakes had been ap- piled. The cowcatcher pushed the body partly to one side, the wheels passing over the right foot, crushing the heel and part of the member it's entire length and taking of two fingers of the left hand. Glyndon was much under the influence of liquor, and re- mained so for some time after the accident

A Chance for Barnum.

The New York ECe1atr1g Post says Some human bones uncovered the other day, near Batavia, N. T., are by some persons believed to be those of William Morgan of anti-Ma- sonic fame. Near them was found silver ring with the initials w. M. and a small tin box containing manuscript, the writing of which was scarcely legible, although some of the words could be read by the unaidsd eye. Under microscope the words 'tMasons, D 'Iiar, ''Prison,' D FsKill," and the full name "Henry Brown" were plainly visible. The name of the owner of this rich Batavian quarry is not published. Mir. P. T. Barnum is now in Europe, but it would not be sur prising if he should take the first steamer for home upon learning by cable of this wonder full discovery in Genesee countY.n

To Visit Her Former Home.

On Tuesday next Mrs. John Henry Brown, nee Mary Mitchell, will leave Dallas to spend the summer in her native village, Groton, Conn.,, and expects to be present at the cen- tennial celebration of the massacre at Fort Griswold by Benedict Arnold, which occurred on the 9th of September, 1781. Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, Senator from Connecticut, is to make the address. Mrs. Brown, though for thirty eight years a citizen of Texas, has a right to be present on that centennial occa- sion. Of herancestors, direct and collateral, nine bearing the names of Avery, six of La tham, six of Morgan, two of Wolcott and two of Leeds. are inscribed on Groton monu- ment martyrs to American liberty who fell on that occasion. Mrs. Brown left her native place on visit to her brother in St. Louis in 1889, having first graduated from Franklin academy, Pennsylvania, in the same class with Galusha A. Grow, ex-Senator, Will liam A. Buckalew, Governor Bigler J. D. Gidding, (deceased, of Brenham, Texas, the Rev. Elias O. Ward and number of others since distinguished in the history of our country In Missouri she met and married her present husband, frontier COW boy from Texas, and since 1s42 has been a long suffering, hopeful and de- vout daughter of Texas. With the blessings of her husband, daughter and friends, she goes to join in the celebration of an event without parallel, except at the Alamo, in American history-doubly dear to her from the fact that Groton monument 176 feet high, and erected in 1926, stands on the homestead of her father, on which she was born.-DdE1as (7'erGsl Herald, June 12

 The report that the hines of the Olds' pie bakery and the Rubber shop were to play a match game of base ball on the Blatchley ave- nue lot yesterday afternoon drew out quite gathering of friends and disinterested specta- tors. The victory seemed to be discounted at the end of the third inning in favor of the Rubber shop boys, as at that point the score stood Is to 9 in their favor. The pie men braced up thereafter. Six innings ended the game, when the score stood 22 to 20 in favor of the pie men. Their Philadelphia talent and the errors of. the fat man furnished a comic side to the sport. The pie men give great credit to their captain, MT. Ryan. The Rubber shop nine, not at all dismayed, chal- lenged the pie men to another contest The game was witnessed, among other friends, by MT. and Mrs. H. H. Olds, and tte Rubber shop nine recognized among their staunch friends MT. Wm. H. Coolidge and others There was a loud call for Simon. The um. pire was Mir. P. Farrell.

Cereals in Connee1icn1.

A census bulletin just issued shows that the crop of cereals in 1879 was nearly double that of 1869, an apparent increase which is in part due to the fact that 1869 was bad year and 1879 good one. It is said. how ever, that there was very large actual ad- vance in production during the decade. In Connecticut. on the other hand, the change was inconsiderable, as may be seen from the following table compiled from the statistics furnished in the bulletin:

From this it appears that the only gains in this State of the least consequence are in the crops of rye and Indian corn. The former showed an increase of about 28 per cent. as against IT per cent. in the country at large, and the latter gain of 22 per cent. as against 13S per cent. in the country at large. The gain on all cereal crops in Connecticut during the decade was about per cent, cor responding closely to the increase of popula- ton in the State, while the gain through the country was nearly 100 per cent, with an in- crease of population of about 31 per cent.
