DISASTER TO A FUNERAL.-At New
Castle, Pa, Thursday, while the flner-
al of Alexander Rutter was taking
place, driver of one of the carriages
stopped to put strap in place that had
become unfastened. The driver of the
vehicle Immediately in the rear failed
to check his horses in time, and ran
into the halted carriage. The result
was that the horses attached to the
latter became frightened and started to
run away, and soon started every ami
animal in the cortege in break neck
flight. Numerous carriages, wagons
and other vehicle were overturned, and
the whole funeral procession reduced
to a wreck of it's former uniformity
Men calculated, women shrieked and
many occupants of vehicles were
thrown out.

At the last meeting of the Philadel-
phia County Medical Society a man
was exhibited who has not and
never has had teeth, hair, taste or
smell. Moreover the microscope de-
clares that his skin is absolutely with
ont pores, an omission on the part of
Nature which has hitherto been con-
sidered fatal. But Peter Vending
has lived to be forty-eight years old,
has enjoyed uniform health, and suffers
from the lack of pores only in hot
weather, when he finds it necessary to
keep his clothing sOaking-wet to re-
duce the temperature of his body. He
lives in the little village of Bismarck
near Lebanon, and is the father OF
eight children, all of whom are free
from his physical peculiarities, barring
the fact that there isn't a full set Of
teeth in the family.

Friday was Candlemass Day, or the
Roman Catholic festival of the Purifca-
tion Of the Virgin Mary. A legend
connected with it is that the wood
chuck comes out of its hole on that day
and if he sees his shadow, goes back
again, looking for six weeks more of
Winter. As the sun was shining
brightly Friday we may therefore look
for more Winter according to the
story.

To tumble down an embankment in a

The total loss of life by the circus
fire at Berditsheff has been ascertained
to be 26S. This is bad enough, but not
near so bad as at first reported.
The Rev. Mr.. Eaton, of New York,
said ina sermon last Sunday that the

Cetewayo has been reinstated as

Alabama is now in condition to re-

A family of nine people in Laurens
county, S. c., on Sunday of last week,
ate a goose that had been bitten by a
mad dog. All were seized with con-
vulsions soon afterward and showed all
the symptoms of hydrophobia. Five
of the family have died. The others

In the lower house of the New Jersey
Legislature bill was passed on We'd
nesday providing that in all civil
actions four men out of jury of six

This looks like sensible step and
proves that good many of Jerseys

There are now between three and
four hundred Christian schools in
China, containing over six thousand
pupils. A lady missionary, mentioning
this phase of Christian work, claims
that through the agency of these

whole Chinese empire will be full of
light"
The Mexican variety of duel appears

Two men, or rather butchers, armed
themselves with axes, locked them
selves in room, and fought until the
head of one was severed from his body
and the other was so hacked and slash
ed that he cannot live. This eclipses
anything in the way of ingenious
homicide which the "chivalrous'
South has been able to invent.
Three women are making more
money this season on the American
stage than any ten men. 1t is impossi
BILE to get at the precise figures, as the
pay of performers is so exaggerated
but it is asserted that Patti receives
$4,000 a night. AS she is to sing thirt!
times during her tour through tn,
States, she will therefore receive $120,
600. Nilsson will get about $4,000
for fifty concerts. Mrs. Langtry is salt
to receive one-third of the gross re
ceipts, and will get about $4,000.
There is much excitement at War
