The INVENTIONS OF FICTION have been
surpassed by fact in the adventurous ras-
calty of the man who contrived to manage
two bridal trips over the same line of lail-
road at the same time. Emboldened by the
success with which he had already sup
ported eight coexistent wives and as many
aliases, together with innumerable forgeries,
he in the latter case attempted too much,
and brought the detectives ON his heels.

On THE OCCASION of such a thing as a
Yorktown Centennial, we don't care to be
alarmists, but it may properly occur to some
parties to inquire who is to pay the ex-
pense of all that show, where 100000 peo-
pie will possibly be present, and whether the
oysters will hold out in the event that the
hotels (?) can't stand the rush.

AN EXPENSIVE SERMON was preached in
town of New York State lately. Seven

ARE MATTERS GETTING back to the old
slave-day status down in Louisiana? The
New Orleans Picayume says that " from the
Rigolets to Ocean Springs nobody is out OF
employment-no a tramp or an idle person
to be seen. Every one is busy fighting mos
quitoes. The Oldest inhabitants say that
the mosquitoes are worse this summer than
any season since 1877, when the mosquitoes
then took the rag OFF the bush. No fisher
man now comes home without n bite, and a
majority of the visitors ignore the new
version of the Testament altogether as not
appropriate for the present trying ordeal"

a1J uninteresting that the Republican
papers of Cincinnati are amusing them
selves and keeping their hands in by fight
ing over again the battles of twenty years
ago. A good many young voters have come
along since those stirring times, and it will
be in the nature OF history to them if it
amounts to nothing else. They will learn
in this way that the greatest generals re-
mained at home in Cincinnati, when they
might Just as well have gone out and put
down the rebellion in ten days"
This is a great concession for Grant Or

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.


I EE-NL HlNtrHr T Gu p 1901
DEAR FREEMAN must tell yea story
Of the d0ings of a child of seven years which
occurred here lately. Her mother became
suddenly ill., and while sinking into a chair
in a fainting condition, she had strength
enough left to tell tie child to run for as
sistance. The little one ran across two large
fields, through snow up to her knees, to the
neighbcring farmhouse and delivered her
message correctly, bringing help just in time.
Seven years old, a long trip across fields, in
the shades of evening, through the deep
snow, were four pretty good obstacles FOR
the little spirit TO overcome, but she did all
quickly and correctly.
Another little item which may not be with
ont interest to some of your readers / will
here record. The other morning, while
kinding n fire I'm the heater, the teacher of
the NcNuIin school witnessed novel sight
As q little fire was still i'm the stove the po-
ker was used to clear out the ashes for the
purpose OF ventilation. While pOking away
quite vigorously the said teacher was greatly
aStounded to witness the sudden cmergence
Of a mouse through the poking-hole, past the
poker, all be-dusted with ashes, resembling
Somewhat miller in his fioury coat The
night had been q cold one and the little ami
NAL had sought warmth and shelter amongst
the ashes but the wonder was that fire and
mice were not incompatible. 4. ID. II.
