The telegraph brought sad news
last week to Mrs. Henry w. Jones, of
this village, from Park City, Utah,
where her brothers, the Messrs Ferry,
of Grand Haven, Mich, are developing
a silver mining enterprise. Mr.. Ed
ward p. Ferry and his wife were
thrown from carriage. He escaped
with a badly sprained ankle, but Mrs.
F. received fatal injuries and lived but
three hours. She leaves four little
children. An infant church and Sun
day school, and the embryo society of a
mining village have also lost valua-
ole friend.

The CaledORidn office has Just
printed, i'll pamphlet form, sermon
on the death of President Garfield, de-
livered by Rev. A. w. Wild at Peach
am, Sunday, Sept. 25th. The publish
ing of this sermon was done at the ex-
pense of a gentleman who has been
visiting in Peacham, and who, hearing
the discourse, was impressed with its
excellence, had three hundred copies of
it printed and presented them to Rev.
Mr.. Wild and the Congregational
church of which he is pastor. This
was graceful act in recognition of a
discourse worth remembering, ON the
death of a man whom all the people
delighted to honor. The generous do
nation will, we are sure, be apprecia-
ted by the people of Peacham-and
especially of the church in question.
A runaway occurred at Fairbanks
village on Saturday morning, which
came very near proving serious affair
for Mrs. Charles Adams. She had been
to Paddock village with her husband
and was returning alone. When neal
the scale works, rafting wagon, driv-
en- at lively rate, came up behind Mrs.
Adams team, and attempted to run
past her. This frightened her horse
which set into a run; doubtless al
would have been well had the hors,
been allowed to keep straight on tn,
road, but when near the bridge it wa
swerved from its course by some on,
who attempted to stop it, and turne,
into a side road. The buggy was up
set aud Mrs. Adams thrown out, bu
luckily she came out of the disaste
with few bruises. The buggy wa
found to be bit subject for repairs.

Crossing the Continent.

New YORK Mail.
How many Of the 10000 people who
will cross the Atlantic this summer for
vacation in Europe have ever crossed
our own continentp Some one who is
able to do it should set the fashion OF
going beyond the Rocky Mountains for
pleasure. 1t ought to be considered IN
questionable, as we'll as an unscnsible,
thing for q person TO take q pleasure
trip abroad without having visited the
natural wonders of our own country.
A party of 1870 excursionists left Boston
recently for trip to the Pacific coast,
and that fact suggests way to make
crossing the continent less formidable
undertaking to tourists than it has for
merly been. Parties could be formed,
not as large as that from Boston, but
large enough to fill one or two palace
cars, and tho coaches should be chart
cred to take tho company wherever
they wish to 60. In this way the dis
comforts Of travel would be reduced to
minimum, and the tourists could dine
and sleep in bomelike fashion through
out the whole trip, without leaving their
train except when TO visit some places
OF interest within tho region through
which the railway over which they trav-
el runs. 1t ought to become fashion,
able and a common thing for parties Of
from twenty TO fifty to charter cars to
take them across the continent to view
Its wonders. 80.

Japan Railroads.

The railroads of Japan present a
somewhat beggarly account, according
to the most recent data. The line from
Toxic to Yokohama, IS miles in length,
was completed early in 1872, and has
not since been extended. Subsequently,
railway from Hiogo to Osaka, some
% miles long, and about $50 miles
south Of Toxic, was built and afterward
extended to Kioto-a further extension
of this line being made, still later, to
Otsu, on the south bank Of Lake Biwa.
These are said to comprise all the rail.
ways in Japan, the length being about
90 miles. Another line has, however,
been commenced from Toxic to Nave
bashi, more than 60 miles long; this
railway, the construction of which offers
but few difficulties, will be of great COM
mercial Importance. A railway is pro-
jected in the northern island, and the
southern system is to be extended from
Kioto to Lake Biwa. and up to tho cen.
ter Of the island. --NeW York SIN.

Mr.. Bessemer's Obligations to America.

Sir Henry Bessemer was recently pre-
scented with the honorary freedom OF the
London Cutters Company, before whom
he delivered an address. At the close
the master who made the presentation,
to show how widely the influence of his
statements might extend, mentioned
that an application for report of the
proceedings had just been received, to
be sent to Ohio. Mr.. Bessemer in re-
ply, said: THAT such a note us has
been alluded to should be received from
our friends across the water l am not
surprised at. for there is no nation
under The sun, after our own country,

cordially taken up and accepted by the

from America token of regard, as, in
deed, have from this and other coun-
tries, but have received one specially
from America, which / should like to

in the mode of rewarding my services
in America which is worthy Of people
like the Americans. They have no cross
es, no orders, no titles to bestow, but
they have have done me the great honor
to name new and rising city by my
name. (Cheers.) Those who travel
through Illinois by the railway will find
by the roadside the station of "Besse-
mer" close to a large and prosperous
town which, as have said, they have
done mo the honor to name after me.

will be asked why was this town SO
calledp And the answer will revive q D

New York's Plymouth Rock.
New York Tribune.

Now iOIh
How many New York men know
what Castle Garden is? An intelligent
emigrant half an hour after arrival,
could tell native New Yorker all about
it, to the latter's wonder and instruc-
ton.
Castle Garden is the cradle of the
Empire State, the Plymouth Rock to
the great West. There stood the little
Dutch fort from 1923 onward. While
tho Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth were
picking blackberries the third Winter,
the Dutch were shoveling up this fort.
There were Vanderbilt, Schuyler, Jay,
Livingston, Bayard, Schenck, or peo-
pie of similar noses, beginning the city
of New York just 25S years ago. They
were talking about the recent execution
of John of Barneveldt and wondering
where Grotius had escaped to.
Next the United States, not of Hol-
land but of America, soventy-four years
ago, leased the ground by the Dutch
fort and erected a battery" but it was
too weak a work to mount a great can
non, so tho city took it back in 1922.
The round stone battery was rooted over
and turned into theater garden, called,
for the military architecture, Castle
Garden" There, with the pulse of
faith and fancy, you can hear Jenny
Lind singing, Fancy Ellsler dancing,
and the infant opera training the Choir
us. In 1855, but quarter OF a century
ago, it became the migrants garden,
the protoplasmic battery of Europe di-
rected upon us; and there in many

ashore and looked around in sovereign
way, satisfied that the CONSUMPTION Of
