A Terrible Death.

2hhfiuofo N4uus) Ohlcttt,
One Of those fatal and terrible occurrences
which no man can forcsee or prevent hap
pened at I b on Thursday last. Mr.. J. G..
Thompson had pump in his yard which
for several months worked badly. Think
ing there was q leak in the stock he had the
we'll opened, and at his own request young
colored man, Cooper Hawkins, was lowered
into the well. When he had gone down
some ten or twelve feet he said +" 1t was cold
down there" and in another instant
he exclaimed "Oh, Mr.. Thompson"
He was ordered to be drawn up
Immediately, but at the same mo-
ment he fell back dead having in
hailed the noxious gases in the we'll.
He never went below the surface of the
water, as 1t was only four feet deep. Sec
ing him standing erect with his arms
folded, the impression was that he had been
seized with cramps. Mr.. Thompson ran u
ladder down the well and was about to de-
scend, when colorcd man, named John
Jones, brothcr-in-law of Hawkins, in
sisted upon going to the rescue. When
within few feet of the water he, too, in
hailed the fatal gas and fell forward into
the water and died without struggle. The
bodies were soon brought to the surface and
carried to Jones' house. The accident has
cast gloom over the neighborhood. Much
regret is felt for the victims, and especially
for Jones, who was useful citizen and
leaves family. Hawkins was about 20
and Jones about 30 years of age.

The Marlboro Gazette says: "Our farmers
are very low spirited and give very doleful
accounts of the crop prospects in this county.
They had scarcely got reconciled to the fact
that their wheat crop was not only far
below an average yield but much below
what they had confidently expected when
one Of the severest droughts we have had
for years set in and still continues. To be
sure we had fair rain on Sunday, but this
was very partial; farmers living within a
mile or so of our town tell us that scarcely
enough rain fell to lay the dust. If we do
not very soon have abundant rains the corn
and tobacco crops must of necessity be light.
Large quantities of tobacco have been
planted and at first gave promise of heavy
CROP but the plants have run up small,
which will consequently make the crop
light. The crop prospects are not altogether
a promising one"

on the line of the B. q O. II. II.

drives, parks, lakes and the like.
and one large space will be set
apart for campmeeting purposes,
within which wigwam capable
of holding 1900 to 10000 people
will be erected. A large lake for
boating, fishing and ice purposes
will be made at once in order to
secure supply OF Ice for next
summer. The land Is very high,
being on top of the mountains and
ii will be one of the most de-
lightful resorts in the country.
The building lots will be 50x150
feet, and limited number only
will be sold at 500 each, condi-
toned, however, that cottage be
erected within year. Largo ho-
tells will be erected for the accom-

Kenneth Carries Love.

They are standing upon the cliff
together, Kenneth Carrie and Grace
Ellsworth, and he is holding her
hands in his and gazing earnestly
into her beautiful gray eyes.
"Grace, turn back" he exclaimed
passionately, "turn back before it is
too late. You do not know what
you are doing; YOU"
81 believe know my own mind"
interrupted Grace, with forced
laugh. 81 am perfectly sane, as
sure you"
Kenneth looked at her with a sad
doubtful expression on his handsome
face.
81 cannot deem it possible he
says. 81 never thought that Grace
Ellsworth would sell herself for gold,
paltry gold"
She disengages her hand from his
clasp, and drawing herself up proud
ly, replies in cold tone that the
tears in her eyes belize
'Neither would L, Mr.. Garlic. You
presume too much upon friendship,
but there are some things that even
friendship does not hold admissible.
You are very unjust in your accusa-

please. Pray do not speak Of selling
again.

"that you have never loved me; you

"Ah ~

sigh, that fills Gracc'S heart with
strange emotion, and causes the col
or to rush to her cheeks. Then there
is long silence, while Kenneth
gazes fixedly at the grass beneath his
feet, and Grace stands motionless,
now and then casting covert glances
at her companion.
"Mr. Garlic" she says suddenly,
"look at she darkening sky. There
will be storm soon, | shall return
to the house. Will you come with
me, or stay here ?"
Il will stay here" he replies, with
out raising his eyes from the ground;
and she turns and leaves him.
At IA short distance she pauses
and looks behind her. She sees the
rocky cliff, with the sea lashing it.
self into foam at its base; the tall
figure standing near its edge, his
head bowed, his dark, Greek-like
features clearly outlined against the
( duh gray sky, and an expression of
anguish and pain crosses her face.
It's succeeded by look of stern de-
termination, and in low, firm voice
she says:
Il will not let his foolish love
conquer. Money want, and mon
ey | will have. shall wed the rich
stranger, for indeed he is almost
stranger to me, and Kenneth Garlic
shall never be more than a friend. .
AS Grace had predicted, a storm
comes up quite suddenly; and as she
is quite a distance from her home,
she seeks shelter in a cottage at the
foot of the hill.
1t is a quaint, low-roofed building
of very ancient date, and has been
for many years inhabited by tall,
gypsy looking woman, who, when
she first took her home there was
comely, bright,eyed, rosy checked
maiden, and now an old woman, vel
low-skined and gaunt.
Her black eyes though, had never
lost their keen brightness, but shine
with such steady, piercing light
that, when any valuables are lost,

they could discover them instantly
