An IdiOtic Performance.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, IND, Dec. 2e.-
Last night John M'CIelland went to
his house and i'm order to amuse his
wife and children fired off lot of
shooting crackers. Not satisfied with
this, he procured a pound of powder
and put it into three ale BOTTLES and
fastened them up tightly. After he
had inserted Il fuse into each bottle he
attempted to fire them off in his yard
lie was unsuccessful in this attempt
and taking the bottles into the house
set them upon IL table at which his
wife and little girl named Berry
were sitting. Mrs. M'Clelland wished
to fire Off Il cracker, and in order to
get II light removed the chimney from
coal oil lamp which stood on the ia.
bic. The cracker went Off and caused
the lamp to explode. The burning oil
was communicated to the powder in
the bottles, and all three went off with
terrible effect, scattering glass all over
the room. The oil set fire to the house
and to the clothing of Mr.. and Mrs.
M'Clelland and Miss Berry. Mr.. NJ
Clelland succeeded in eXtinguishing
the fire, not, however, unt;l he had
been severely burned. His wife was
also dangerously burned about the
head and face, her clothing being
burned from her body. Miss Berry
was probably fatally Injured by glass
striking her in the side. She also re-
ceived several other cuts and burns.

admire your judgment, and congrat-
ulate the music-loving public in secur-
ing that gifted songstress, Miss Belle
Nj Ciintock, to charm the listners dur
ing the session of the teachers insti-
tute. Having heard her wonderful
voice and the rare power she exercises
both in church and concert singing
and for several seasons witnessed the
sway she held over the multitude at
the Ehautauqua assembly, ! can bear
testimony to her excellence. To all
of us who have occupied place on the
rostltim in the vast amphitheatre at
Chautauqua, striving to win the
Chautauqua salute, can understand
what that implies. | cannot soon for
get the last time | heard Miss NJ
Clintock. 1t was at Chautauqua last
August. Her voice, pure, sweet, SYM
pathetic, musical as birds, ascending
the higher notes with ease, with per-
feet control, and withal the soul in all
of her singing, is it any wonder that
her voice, vibrating over the breath less
mass that as the last note died away
III hushed silence of admiration, the
'salute"-the "Chautauqua lillies"-
ten thousand white handkerchiefs
huttered, as a beautiful token of ap-
probation, and the complete mastery
with which she held that immense
audience spellbound.
L hope none will miss the rare op-
portuhlty OF hearing Miss M'Clintock
sing. Sincerely yours.
