a Raft Pant.

a dangerous Raft part recently took
place at IIachino on the st. Lawrence
river. The tugboat "John Macdonald"
had tOWeu valuable raft of timber
from Chateaugauv to the head Of the
Lachine Rapid with the intention Of
leaving it in tho South channel How
ever, just as the raft had neared the
channel in question the current, which
here takes a sharp bend, swept it around
with terrible velocity towards the more
dangerous and rocky South channel,
whence escape is rarely made. The
strain was so great that the hawser
parted and the raft dashed down the
tortuous rapids at lightning speed. The
men on board, 13 in number, assembled
on the front Of the raft perfectly power
less to save themselves from their i'm
minent peril. They had not proceeded
far, however, before a terrible shock
was felt, the raft having struck @ reef
and parted in two pieces. The men still
escaped unhurt and managed to raise a
sail with the intention Of steering the
raft through the rocks, which arose on
every side. The waves swept over the
hardy raftsmen, threatening them with
destruction every moment, and finally
the whole number took refuge by climb
ing to the top Of the mast. The raft
struck a rock the second time. smashing
it into fragments, and the mon were
preciptated into the water, but still held
on to the mast for dear life. They had
nearly reached the foot of the rapids by
this time, and soon drifted out into still
water. An Indian passing in large
boat, seeing their perilons position,
came to their assistance and rescued
them in half-drowned condition, sew
eral Of the mon having nearly succumb-
ed from exposure to the icy water. The
raft, which is Of oak, is the property of
MI. John Calvin, Of Kingston, and is
valued at SG. 900.

however, was sufficient to let the pri-.

apo COD Frogs.

TO the most esthetic BostOnlan the
change from salt codsto Cape Cod fresh
trout must seem considerable. But.
after trout, Boston now rejoices in frogs
there q newly discovered delicacy. A
few years ago, frogs legs were q COM
paratively rare dish in Boston. They
were indeed. In fact, owing to the
Onslaughts of Boston boys upon the
inhabitants of the pond on the Com
mon. the frogs were rare--they wisely
made themselves scarce. The classic
Common is the original scene of the
spelling book story, the moral of which
is that what was fun for the boys was
death to the frogs. 1T was more fun;
for the small boy took no thought for
the table, or even of tanning the slaugh-
tered frogs skins, but only Of the keen
pleasure of the killing. But now frogs
are. caught, skinned, sold and subse-
quently served in Boston hotels, rcstau-
rants, and even in private families. OF
course, the best como from that neck.
or-n0thing strip of sand, Cape Cod.
One enterprising Capecodder makes a
business Of 1t and sends from SO to 100
dozen pairs of legs a week. Other sup
plies come down from Maine, shipped
alive in crates packed with wet moss or
seaweed, and they are killed as needed.
Canada has furnished considerable SUP
plies, but lively competition in home
production and catching has driven the
Canadian shipments to New York.
While the northern frogs are larger, it
is claimed that the Massachusetts frogs
are liyelier, and better eating, and they
sell at from 30 to 80 cents per dozen,
according to size and quality. Every
where else frogs legs have long been
an accepted delicacy. Boston Is Just
beginning to eat and enjoy them.

Death from Locb iaw.

A S~N F 8So 1As1UAGAMB 1rOm singular
 Mr. Henry A. Bigelow, of Foxon, died on Monday night of lockjaw. All that could be done for him was done by his attendant phy- aicians, Dr. Francis Bacon, Dr. Gilbert, of Fair Haven, and physician from Spring. field, Mass, but without avail His sad fate causes gloom over large circle of friends. Tetanus set in, in congequence of gunshot wound in the hand, received accidentally October 4th. He stood with his left hand resting on the muzzle of shotgun talking 10 man who was at work cleaning out a spring. The man, while throwing out dirt and stones, threw a stick which struck the trigger of the gun and is was discharged. the charge of shot passing through Mr. BigeIow's hand and even into the left side of his head. The hammer of the gun was not raised when the accident happened and 1t is thought the stick fell fun on the hammer throwing it back enough to cause it to discharge the gun when it snapped down on the cap. He was getting along nicely till last Saturday when Iockjaw set in. The deceased came to East Haven recently and bought farm. He was board ing at the house of Mir. Goodrich in the Foxen district while having his house made ready to move in. He was brother of MT.
