He Fell a Third of a Mile,

There occurred on Slate Mountain,
near Ashcroft, recently, one of those ac-
cidents that make men realize how ter
rible are the perils that environ the
pathway of the fortune-hunter in these
great mountains. A young man named
j. NJ. Fern, who has been prospecting
and contracting around Ashcroft for
some time past had, in connection with
another man, a contract to run in tun-
el on claim very near the summit of
Slate Mountain, The claim is known
as the Shamokin lode. They had near
ly completed the contract, and Zern was
making his preparations TO get out Of
the country for the winter. The trail
leading from the cabin occupied by the
two contractors TO the claim winds its
sinuous and perilous way along the steep
slope of Slate Mountain, frequently zig
zaging TO avoid the lodges and ease the
grade.
But there is one place far up toward
the summit where the slope is almost
perpendicular for quito II distance, and
under the best conditions travel at that
spot is very perilous. The trail, about
eighteen inches wide. is cut out of the
mountain side, and it would make
tenderfoots hair stand on end to look
down. There has been n crust of snow
several inches thick on and near the
summit Of Slate Mountain for week or
more past, and the cold nights has froz-
en- thistnow where it has been pressed
down along the trail until il is as slip
perry as glass.
fern and his partner were proceeding
along the trail to the Shamokn lode,
and at the PERCEPTIONS spot referred to
Zcrn missed his footing The misstep
carried bis body or the trail, and in an
instant the doomed miner was whirling
down the snowy slope, wildly grasping
at the air, and attempting in vain TO Sc
cure some foothod on the frozen ground.
His terror-stricken partner, utterly una
bic to render him any assistance, stood
gazing at the terrible sight with emo
lions past description. Down, down
the poor fellow went, and when his
bruised and bloody frame reached the
bottom, IL was l,SO0 feet from whore il
started, and bore but little resemblance

The Sensations Of Hanging.

Yesterday several gentlemen wero
speaking of capital punishment when
j. l.. McNeely, one Of the most pros
porous farmers in Pulaski county, re-
marked:
Gentlemen, so far as the punishment
is concerned, hanging does not amount
TO anything. was hung once until |
was insensiblc, and the feeling could
scarcely be called pain"
II am in earnest" he continued "In
1865, just at the close of the war; rob-
bers came to my house in search of
money. As a precaution against such
visitors l had given two watches and
5000 in gold to trusty coored woman

entered the room, and, without saying
anything, put rope around my neck
and began to pull. ! told them that il
they were going to hang me, TO wait
until ! could get my crutch, so that
could walk TO the hanging place. They
took me out on the gallery, and, throw
ing the rope over cross-beam, asked
me for my money ! told them that
had none. They drew me up For a
moment | experienced a slight choking
sensation, and then | became nsensiblc.

taken down, l was sitting on the steps.

Natural Water Supply on New Western
Farms,

dllun
Grain farms, strictly such, are quite
rapidly getting to be things of the past.
We think it is not overstating the case
to say, that two out of every five of the
tolerably prominent and thrifty farmers
in the West are becoming known as
stockmen, in one department or the
other Three out of five depend upon
stock keeping or dairying, in large
degree, for no small portion of their in
comes. -Four out of five essay to be
stockmen; and perhaps not more than
one in five simply aims to keep such 1.-Two
stock as are necessary to carry on his
farm, and furnish his family with pork
and milk. Placing this matter right
down on a practical basis, it is not put
ting it too strong to state, that every tract
of land should have living water for
stock, because every Western farm is,
TO q greater or less extent, destined TO
be stock farm.
Men are the architects of their own
fortunes, as rule; and this rule has no
truer application than when applied to
the stock raiser who secures u farm on
which there is n continuous supply of
water from natural sources. Now TO
know the difference between reliable
fountain head and one that will not
hold out, isvery important, and, in very
many cases, it requires the skin Of a
geologist to tell whether stream on
new land, if it be a small one, will be
lasting or only transient, National

New ana Powerful Locomotive.

Yesterday afternoon, at 4.4t
O'Clock, a new and powerful locomo'
tive, recently built at the Altoona
shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, made its regular trip from
the Broad Street Station to Paoll and
West Chester. 1t is a double-ender
with pilot at each end, and weighs
about sixty tons when equipped fol-
travel. The engine and tender are
both in one, there being no break
between the portions. The locomo-
tive stands very high on the track, !,
end Its cab, which is entirely closed
is much larger than that of any or-
dinary locomotive. Under the cab
is the waterstank, with a capacity OF
1000 gallons, surrounding the fire.
box, which is eight feet deep. Back
of the cab Is tho coal tank, which
contains about as much coal as is
carried in an ordinary tender. The
driving wheels are five feet high,
and the truck wheels thlrly-three
inches. 1t was built under the
supervision of Mr.. T. N. Ely, Sup-
erintendent of Motive Power, at
Altoona, its inventor, and is cons
structed to run with equal facility
backward and forward. 1t is called
"No. A." but on account of its huge
proportions has been named
Jumbo" by the employees of the
Railroad company. Its appearance
in the depot yesterday and along the
road attracted much attention.

Lyric Lament.

We zee the swelling buds of spring;
Earth breaks the winters icy chains,
The BIRDS again begin 70 sing,
80 like my own mslodious strains.
We see the un of April risej
He warns the ground with fervld rays,
And natures face reviv fies;
But nothing wakes our rslumb'ring Hayes
Why does that mild and precious one,
The sweetest we have Iatsly seen,
Not spring 10 life beneath the sun,
With all thlngs gentle, fair, and greenf
Alas for him the sun has set,
The blazing sun ofpublic life;
No more for him the care and fret
ofthankless tasEs and party strife.
To East and West and South and North
He listens with an eager ear
For voices that should call him forth:
Bat not an accent can he hear.
He seems a statesman laid to rest,
Sunk in cave OF deepest gloom.
Where nothing moves his quiet breast.
Or stirs him in the silent tomb.
The princsly check he lately sent
Would he had sooner done the samei-
To aid the Garfield monument,
Has not revived his buried fame.
What hand can drive the clouds away
That hang about him like paIl3
To be abused were sweet to-day;
But he's not spoken Of al al.
