The Wheeling Eventng Journal, in

in that city, makes the following men
ton of leading citizen of Jefferson:
Hon. John W. Grantham, Chaplain
of the Grand Lodge, is nearly 20

Masons in the State. Indeed he is
regarded as the s'father of the Or
der" and his brethren regard him
with paternaI affection. He has
been Grand Chaplain for number
of years. His long connection with
the order has famiIiarized him with

Col. -Grantham has been through all

coming to the Grand Lodge for many
years. He has been prominent
member of the West Virginia Lcgis
lature, and has been mentioned as a

Dir. Sam'l NIichaels, of this courty,
was thrown from his horse several
weeks ago, and severely injured, his
horse being frightened by some
young men riding past him at a
rapid rate and making a very I'M
necessary noise. Subsequently, on
Saturday week, two little daughters
Of Mr.. NIichacls, aged 13 and s years,
were thrown from horse under very
similar circumstances, and the oldest
one very badly hurt. These acct
dents should be lesson to harem-
scarem young men and boys to be
careful how they pass old men and
children on the public highway, and
not to commit acts which may, as in
these cases, result in much pain and
suffering to others.

How Miah Jones Got Discouraged.

Miah Jones was powerful man, whose delight
was personal tussle:
He could travel, if any man can, on his own in
dividua muscle;
And he often remarked in his tramps. he wish
ed some kind fortune would bring him
\ man who would ante the stamps, and endea-
vor to lick or to fling him.
Daniel Rawson lived on small farm, some
TWENTY-FIVE miles south of ''WoOster;"
And few had a leg or an arm like this old agrl-
cultural rooster;
He had heard of the Dragging of Mah, but never
had happened to know him;
And he said. If was younger and spryer, l'll
bet | could lick him or throw him."
And when Miah heard CT this talk he started
right off for visit
But happened to meet in his walk sort of bu-
collie ''what is it,
Which the same was a load of dry hay mean
dering over the gravel;
And Mah was puzzled to say what caused such
hay stack to travel.
For there was no wagon or team, yet the hay
stack kept silently going,
Like a numbering ark on a stream. or lazy
old darkey man moving.
But voice came from under the load, at which
Miah consum-ed-lv wondered
'Thcyye loaded me up for a ton. and they've
cheated me out of three hundred.
''Or my name amt Rawson, then Miah walk
ed pensively of from that image
For grutfy old pill what can carry a ton
Up gravely hill amt exactly the one

LOSS OF THE CITY OF BRU SSELS. GOODNESS
AND BRAVERY OF CAPTAIN AND CREW.
one OF the seamen of the steamer City
OF Brussels which was run down and sunk
near Liverpool by the steamer Kirby Hall
describing the final scene when the pas
sengers embarked and the remnant of the
crew took to the rigging, said to a news
paper correspondent, 1T was the coolest
thing youever saw in this world Further
details say that Captain Loud was one Of
the first picked up by the boats, although
he with the chief engineer had been the
last to leave the rigging. When rescued
he was in the act Of passing life buoy to
drowning comrade.
According to the statement of the pur-
ser, the fog necessitated the stopping of
the steamer about half an hour before the
collision. As showing the terrible nature
OF the collision he says the main cOmpart-
ment of the Brussels was cut right in two.
After the collision the fog thickened and
it was dangerous even for the beats to
move about. They however approached
the sinking vessel and found boy named
Hamilton half drowned clinging to the
miZZen cross trees. Two Italians drown
ed seem to have lost their wits from ter
ror and jumped overheard without wait
ing to see what could he done for their
safety The persons lost included Mr.
Corner, quartermaster, and Mr.. C0ch-
rane, steward Of the steamer. Neither
passengers nor crew were able to save
anything and many persons were obliged
to leave the ship with the barest articles
OF clothing. There is no doubt that If
the fog had cleared a little sooner all
would have been saved. The theory con
corning the drowning Of the seamcn is
that when the vessel iurched they were
struck by the rigging and rendered in
sensible. One man was found by the boats
dead in the rigging.
The passengers of the City Of Brus-
sells have drawn up the following memo
rial:
We who have Just been rescued from 4 wa
terry grave wish to express our sincere gratitude
and admiration of the courage. prompttudc and
GOODNESS in danger eXemplitied by the captain.
purser and other officers of the Inflated vessel
which has just gone down so near the termina-
ton of her voyage.
Besides the breach in the hull the
bulkhead of the City of Brussels was
shifted by the violence of the collision,
thus accounting for her speedy sinking.
The captain Of the Kirby Hall states
that he backed his engines on first hear
ing the whistle of the City of Brussels.
