Those Giggling Girls.

A correspondent to the Boston journal
writes: A bachelor doctor of As summers, in
rural district ofMaine, who has been kind of
beau general for ladies of all ages for quarter
of a century, has begun to see tribulation, for
the city boarder has reacht that secluded cor
ner and has brought miser and devastation IN
her brain. The doctor has boarded with one
family for twenty years in eace and quiet,
and now this family are stricken 18th the sum-
mer boarder craze, and have put four girls,
their ages ranging from II to 20, into the large
front chamber adjoining his sleeping room
The first nj ght they laughed and talked until
Q O'Clock in the morning, but that wasn't the
worst of it; it seems they were giving vent to
their opinions of him. They called him "Old
Methusalah' and "Grandfath Longlegs,'
wondered where he bought his hair dye, and
applied numberless other deroga CRY and deri-
siye epithets, not DIRE aiming of his close proxi-
mity. To crown all, he was called up to see
patient at o'clock in the morning. He suf-
fefed this kind of martyrdom for week, and
now he has put cot bed in his office, where
amid the fumes of paregoric and epodeldoc, he
snores out the watches of The night in peace.
He wonders why those dreadful hoydens don't
die from exhaustion, but they don't; they gig
gle on, and have their teri ible Counterparts
who make night hibiscus in nearly every
hotel and boarding house at our summer re-
sorts

Reaching Perlection by pegreee.

The Sunday Times says: 'Mr. j. B. Libby
of this city recently owned a colt that he at
tempted to make a valuable animal of, and
worked on him till he was three years old with
that object in view, when it seems he became
discouraged, and finally sold the colt to Chas
Dyer of Cape Elizabeth for $75. Mr.. Dyer
had better luck with the colt, and, after keep
ing him some little time, sold him for $3.50. The
third man saw he had treasure in embryo,
and took considerable pains in developing it,
and in short time realized $500 on the ami
NAL. Saturday word was received in this city
that the colt had made record of 2.37 on
Massachusetts race course.

From the Min inburg Telegraph.

From the Min inburg Telegraph.
On last Friday aft ernoon as Messrs.
Meckley s. Kieffer were engaged in
threshing grain with their steam
thresher, at the barn Of Mr.. Sol'n Wal
ter, in Cbillsquaque Twp, North'd Co.,
the boiler bursted, throwing fire into
the barn, as well as terribly wounding
Mr.. D avid Kieffer, one Of the mana
gers of the m achine. The fact of his
being badly injdred was not immedi-
ately known, hence all the other work.
men were intent on saving the live
stock, which, being accomplished, they
discovered Mr. Kieffer lying near the
barn terribly cut and bruised and hor-
ribly burned and life extinct. An in
quest was held and verdict rendered
in accordance with these facts. Mr..
Kieffer was aged about % years; was a
single man. Late in the evening the
body was conveyed to the home Of his
widowed mother in w hite Deer Twp,
this county. We also learn that Mr.,
Meckley was considerably though not
seriously burned. Another gentleman
by the name of Johnson was severely
kicked by horse when removing the
animal from the barn. Besides the
barn and crops all the surrounding out
buiEdi >gs were destroyed. If insured
or not, at this writing we have moi
learned.
