KICKED TO DEATH BY A HoRsE.-l

KICKED TO DEATH BY A tlORSE.-A
most distressing occurrence took
place in Winfield district, Marion
county, on Saturday last, resulting
in the death Of Mr.. David Summers,
8 well known and highly esteemed
citizen Of that district. On the day
mentioned, Mr.. Summers had been
away from home OH horseback, and
on his return rode to the stable with
the intention Of putting his horse
away. Another horse occupied one
Of the first stalls, and Mr.. Summers
in leading his own animal into the
stable was compelled to pass in the
rear of this horse. As he did so the
latter kicked him in the side, break
ing two ribs and his arm, and before
he could recover from the blow, was
kicked on the lower jaw, with so
much force as to break it and knock
him down. At this juncture the
horse he was leading became fright
ened and attempted to jump over the
PROSTATE man, but the hitching strap
which he still tightly grasped, was
too short to permit the animal to
make the jump, and the horse was
thrown and fell squarely upon its
unfortunate master, crushing him
terribly. He was removed to the
house, and Drs. Cramcr and Travis
were summoned as speedily as posi-
BILE, but it was soon evident that
earthly aid could not avail. After
"a hours of intense suffering the un-
fortunate man breathed his last.
Deceased was about As years Of age,
and leaves wife and nine children.
Honest and conscientious, kind OF
heart and amiable in disposition, he
was esteemed and respected by all
who knew him, and his sad and I'M
timely death is deeply lnourned.--

AN ENJOYABLE Social EVENT
Our young friend w. L. Boughner,
of Marion county, gave an impromptu
entertainment to number of his
young friends few evenings ago.
In speaking of the event the Virgin
ian says: The social event of the
week was the party given at the ell
cgant home of Mr.. w. L. Boughner
and wife on the east side of the river.
The old homestead has not had such
warming for many a day, we con
lecture, as the one it received on
Tuesday night Like Cincinnatus,
Mr.. Boughner lives surrounded with
plenty, and, in the language of a
great statesman of the day, sHe is
the biggest Roman of any of 'em,"
and as he lives alone to live, so he
desires others to be happy and live
also. Mrs Boughner was assisted
in entertaining her guests by her sis
ter, Miss Delawder, of Oakland, Nd.
The music was furnished by Prof.
Isaac Davenport and Harvey Adams
and was very good. At a late hour
the company returned to town, hav-
ing spent most pleasant evening,
and loudly singing the praises of
Mr.. and Mrs. Boughner. May they
live long time and know no pain is
the wish of every one. The junior
of this paper acknowledges an invi-
tation and regrets his inability to be
present.

Cured to jim. that his room at the
Wallace House needed papering and
he hied away to Maddy Reeds to
buy wall paper. He selected eight
hundred different kinds of paper, a
little sheet about six inches square,
of each variety being used. With
the assistance of the nimble fingers
of three tasty young ladies the nu
merous shades of paper were soon
grouped in original and grotesque
designs upon the walls of the Major
bedroom. The appearance of the
room is unique, though very hand
some. Its occupant now sits and en-
joys the beauty of its walls with as
much satisfaction as is allotted to a
state of single cussedness. After
the work was done few Of his
friends assembled to discuss the re-
suit of his originality and enjoy his
hospitality for a short time. The
work is regarded as curiosity.

A Chinese Wedding in San Francisco.

People on the verge Of matrimony, and
anxious to introduce some striking novelty
into the wedding ceremonies, may possibly
be aided by studying the account of q mar
rage recently celebrated in San Francisco.
Mr.. Lee You and Miss All Chung, two men,
bers Of the Chinese aristocracy of that city,
were the high contracting parties. The
presents to the bride were from female
friends only, while those to the groom were
from male friends. On the second day after
the marriage the newly made husband gave
abanquet to over five hundred invited guests.
The dishes were such rs appeal to the Chi
nese palate, and included swallows nests
and pheasant soup, stewed sharks fins with
chopped chicken and ham, roast Chinese
goose with ginger and cucumbers, stcwed
mushrooms with shoots of bamboo, ducks
wrapped in dry orange peel and stewed, and
tea ad libitum. While the guests were re-
calling themselves on these and other da n
ties q sudden pealing Of gongs and an explo-
sion of thousands of fire crackers announced
that the bride was about to visit the enter
tainment. She entered the room holding a
fan before her face, her bashfulness permit
ting her to remove it only in the case Of q
favored few to whom she rendered the COM
pliment of tea drinking. After passing
through the room she slowly retired back
ward, still keeping her face concealed from
the gaze of the curious. For three days the
festivities Of the groom and his friends con-
tinued, after which time the bride took her
turn at entertaining her friends at her IA
theirs house. But here the groom was not al
lowed to appear until sent for by his parents
in-law. Upon receiving notice he came and
carried away his bride to his own home, and
the wedding festivities were ut an end.

A Mothers Devotion.

A very peculiar case of a mothers devo-
ton to her son, maniac, has just come to
light. About eighteen years ago family
named Harrington moved to Portsmouth, II.
I. Nearly four years after, q son, William,
then about two years of age, suddenly dis
appeared. About three weeks ago the
mother of the boy died. Some Of the people
at her funeral heard strange noise, and, on
going to a small, dark room in the attic,
found there young man, having scarcely
any clothing, covered with hair. The
husband of the woman told the follow
ing story: The young man, he said,
was his son, who had mysteriously disap-
peared so many years ago. When about
two years old the boy became insane, and
soon was raving maniac. The mother re-
fused to let him be taken from her, but
placed him in an attic room, where at times
she was compelled to tie him. During all
these years he had been confined there, and
the mother was the only living person whom
her son had seen. She was accustomed 10
visit him and feed him, with her own hand,
and had jealousy guarded her secret from
the neighbors, fearing that steps would be
taken to tear the boy away from her. When
she died, the father attempted to follow her
example, but was not equal to the task.
Young Harrington has been removed to the
insane asylum ut Cranston, r. I.-Boston
journal.
