Accident.

FAIsxosr, December lS.-The residence
of Mrs. Josina Shaver, situated in Grant
district, this county. about Eve miles from
Fairmont burned late last night. The
origin OF the fire is not knosn, bat is sup.
posed to have been accidental We could
not learn whether any or all Of the effects
were saved, but presume that everything
was consumed. Loss probably from - 500
TO $4,000, and no insurance. Mrs. Shaver
is much respected and aged widow lady
and her many friends will doubtless render
her any needed assistance.
Railroad Accident.
Yesterday evening about dusk John
Dorsey, q lad about fourteen years OF ago,
came to Barusville bridge with team and
carrisge, the property of Marcellus Corroco,
the Morganton iveryman.. At the end o!
the bridge is a crossing over the B. d D.
road, and as the team neared the track ex'
press train No. 4, west bound, came thun'
dering around the curve. The boy stopped
his team and jumped out to hold the horses
which were considerably frightened. Just
us the engine passed the horses made q
dash, and throwing the boy to one side
they ran against one Of the passenger
coaches. One horse was stripped out Of the
harness, thrown into the creek and instantly
killed The animal was valued at 500.
The other horse was considerably scratched
and the carriage is total wreck. The boy,
fortunately, is uninjured. No blame is
attached 10 the railroad company and none
in particular TO the driver The accident is
attributable to the fact that the boy was too
young to entrust with any team, however
safe It might be, and such accidents will,
We presume. continue to occur so long as
men exhibit such criminal carelessness in
these matters. /.

Fainting.

1t is surprising how everybody rushes
at fainting person and strives to
raise him up, and especially to keep his
head erect. There must be an instinc-
tive apprehension that if person
seized with fainting or other fit, fall
into recumbent position death is more
imminent. Always remember this fact,
namely Painting is caused by a want
of blood in the brain. The heart ceases
to act with sufficient force to send the
usual amount of blood to the brain, and
hence the person loses consciousness
because the function of the brain ceases.
Restore the blood to the brain, and in
stantly the person recoyers. Now,
though the blood is propelled to all parts
of the body by the action of the heart,
yet it is still under the influence of the
laws of gravitation. In the erect posi-
ton the blood ascends to the head
against gravitation, and the supply to
the brain is diminished as compared
with the recumbent position. the hearts
pulsation being equal. If, then, you
place person sitting whose heart has
nearly ceased to beat, his brain will fail
to receive the blood; while, if you lay
him down with the head lower than the
heart, blood will run into the brain by
mere force of gravity, and in fainting in
sufficient quantity to restore conscious.
ness. Indeed, nature teaches us how
to manage fainting persons, for they al
ways fall and frequently are at once re-
stored by the recumbent position into
which they are thrown.

The Length Of Days.

At London, England, and Bremen,
Prussia, the longest day has sixteen and
half hours. At Stockholm, in Sweden,
the longest day has eighteen and half
hours. At Hamburg, in Germany, and
Dantzic, in Prussia the longest day has
seventeen hours, and the shortest seven
hours. At st. Petersburg, Russia, and
Tobolsk, in Siberia, the longest day has
nineteen hours, and shortest five hours.
At Tornea, in Finland, the longest day
has twenty-one hours and half, and
the shortest, two hours and half. At
Wardhuys, in Norway, the day lasts
from the 21st of May to the 22d of July,
without interruption; and at Spitzber-
gen, the longest day is three and a half
months. At New York, the longest day
June 10Th, has fourteen hours and fifty
six minutes, at Montreal, fifteen and a
half hours. But the longest day of all,
although one never seen by a civilized
person, is that at the two Poles, where
the daylight lasts for sic months at a

Some Coins of Peculiar Value.

A coin-dealer says: We take coins
of no current value, yet they are worth
from 81 to $1,000. For instance, sill
yer haf-dellar coined by the Confeder
ate Government would fetch $500 OF
$1,000. There were only four coined.
when the government thought paper
was cheaper than silver and stopped
the coinage. Jefferson Davis had one
of them in his possession when he was
captured, and he wrote US that he either
lost it then or it was stolen from him.
At one time we had the die from which
they were coined, and we struck off one
half-dollar. We hold it at $500. You
will see that the Goddess of Liberty side
is the same as that of our half-dollars.
They took our die, or that half of it,
and substituted Confederate" for
"United." There is not. much demand
for Confederate notes. They were SO
plentiful that it seems the supply will
never become scarce.

Feats of Strength.


Thomas Topham, the strong man OF
England, on the 23d of April, 1889, in
London performed the following mar
velous feats of strength: He bent an
iron poker an inch in diameter over his
arm and one nearly as large around his
neck; he broke rope that was capable
of bearing up one ton and with his fin
gers rolled up pewter plate weighing
seven pounds hard metal; he laid the
back part of his head on one chair and
his heels on another, and with four men
on his body moves them up and down
at will; he lifts table six feet in length
with his teeth with half hundred
weight hanging at the further end of it,
and finally lifted hogshead of water.
Topham on the 10th of August, 1749, in
a fit of jealousy killed his wife, then cut
his own throat and stabbed himself,
after which he lived two days.
