the hands Of worthless interlopea. II
seems that on the evening OF Sept. s. a
shooting match was held by some coal
miners in the Barrowman coal bank in
this township, and that q Young son OF
Mr.. Joseph Myers attended. While
there Mr. Barrett, who Is son-in-law OF
The proprietor ofthe mine, accused young
Myers Of wrongfully taking revolver.
The father Of the boy claimed the pistol
had been returned, and hot words passed
between Barrett and Myers, and they
were about to strike each other. when
Mr.. Barrowman stepped in as q peace
maker, and told them to have no fuss; II
would do no good. While he was thus
talking one Mack Sonthert, one OF the coal
diggcrs. and q nephew Of Barrett, but
who had not been concerned III the fuss,

PECULIAR WEDDINGS.

Numerous peculiar weddings are hap
pening nowadays A girl at Coulters-
vile, N. c., was locked in room by
her father, who chained savage bull
dog under her window; but her lover
poisoned the dog, pried open the win
dow and carried her off to clergyman.
Mrs. Reeder, on the death of her hus.
band, in Baltimore, received the follow
ing letter from Franklin Broillar, of
Carroll, Mo-: Il have just received
the news. Will you marry me now!
Enclosed find 500 to bring you and
your children here" Broillar and Mrs.
Reeder had been engaged before the
war, but an uncontradicted report that
he had been killed in battle led her to
marry another man. When he learned
that he had lost her, he went West and
waited twenty years to renew the court
ship. She said yes. Old Edgerton, of
Bellevue, Iowa, decided to get rid OF
his wife and marry a younger woman.
This he accomplished by means of an
irregular divorce and with the consent
of the original wife, who remains in the
Edgerton establishment as housekeeper
while the bride plays the idle lady.
A Nashville girl, being forbidden to
marry her lover, promised obedience,
but one day requested her father to
hand their pastor note on his way to
business. Thus he was unsuspectingly
led to deliver an invitation to the cler-
gyman to call at once and perform the
prohibited ceremony, and the latter,
presuming that parental consent had
been obtained, readily obeyed the sum-
MONS A couple were viewing the
rotunda of the Capitol of Ohio, when 1T
occurred to them that the place was q
good one to be married in. A minister
was employed, and the Governor gave
away the bride.
A widow of two months standing in
Sullivan county, n. Y, took it into
her head to marry again. She found
her man, and when the couple appeared
before the dominic to be made twain,
his reverence suggested that as her
husband had been dead only two
months, it didn't look well for her to
marry so soon. ''Ah, dominic" re-
piled the widow, ''you forgot to give
me credit for the ten months my hus-
band lay sick" The couple were mar

Among the various articles of trade
exported from New Zealand perhaps
the most curious is species of fungus
which grows on decaying trees in all
parts of the North Island, but most
plentiful in the provincial district of
Taranaki. In shape this fungus resem-
bles the human ear, and it is of brown
color and semi-transparent when fresh.
China is the destination of this pro.
duct. 1t is much priced there as an
article of food, forming the chief ingre-
dient of the favorite soup of that coun.
try on account of its gelatinous proper
ties and its peculiar flavor. The Euro.
peans in the colony, however, have
never acquired taste for it. To pre-
pare this fungus for export nothing
more is required than to pick it from
the trunks of the trees and dry it in
the air or under sheds. When dry it
is packed in bags and shipped to China
by way of Sydney or San Francisco.
