Mr.. ANTHONY BAER, an old
resident of the upper end of the
county, was found dead on the turn.
pike near Darkesville, last Friday.
He was on his way home from Mar
tinsburg. A coroner's jury was sum-
moned and the verdict rendered was
that he came to his death by a fall
from his wagon, his neck being
broken. He was 20 years of age. An
account of the accident is mention
ed in our Bunker Hill correspon-
dence.

Oracle, a little daughter of Mr..
ID. w. Roderick had a narrow escape
from drowning Friday of last week.
She had accompanied some older
persons skating on Mr.. VIM. Stew
ards premises and starving away from
them in attempting to cross Tus-
carora creek on log used for that
purpose fell from it into the water.
Her garments becoming soaked she
was drawn under the water and would
have drowned had not a young man
named Eli Brooks been attracted to
the spot and rescued her from the
stream. As it turned out the little
girl suffered nothing worse than a
very cold ducking.

annoyances which result from the
manner in which the two Messrs.
Faulkners, who bear the same name,
are addressed. The Post-otlice is
continually perplexed as to which of
them to send the letters; and often
urgent letters fail, in consequence,
to reach the real person intended, in
time to accomplish the objects asked
for. How easily all this could be
avoided by addressing the Junior of
that name as Judge Faulkner, or if
they so please, as Hon. Judge Faux

My Dear Sir;-I have just received
copy of the Exchange, calling, or
rather recalling, to my mind IA night
which may for short lapse of time
fit beyond memory's eye, but which
soon comes back and roosts upon the
perch of vivid Recollection.
1 wouder why it is-what envicus
freak Of eccentric infuences-that
when man most needs friends and
money he has neither? 1t may he,
though, that he is sent through the
cruclble of want as means of pre-
pairing him for something to come in
after years; but hang it, | would at
all times rather have trife less of
the crucible and little more of the
subsequent something. so far as the
crucible aimed at the engendering OF
appreciation of trends is conserved,
must say that this instrument OF
torture was success, hut as to mons
ey it was something of failure. II
a man we're to meet me in the street
and offer me his friendship, | would
most gratefully accept it; but if a
man were to stop me snd offer me fif
ty centscwell, come to think more
closely, believe I'd take it.

The Drying Up sf springs.
TChicauo Ct,rranf

The Scientific American discussing
the increasing deficiency Of the water
supply in the New England and Mid
die states, SO detrimental to the manu-
featuring interests depending upon run.
ming water for motive force, expresses
the belief that the deficiency cannot be
attributed to forest destruction because
the forests in the regions named were
long since cleared away and the scant
supply of water is feature of the past
few years history. A gentleman who
has given this subject much attention
has suggested that the drying up OF
.prings and swamps is largely explain
able by reference TO the fact that within
the last ten or fifteen years, the bust
ness of laying drainage tile on land'
desired for agricultural purposes, ha'
increased enormously and the worl
such drainage system performs mus
effect the sources which supply watel
to the pond and streams where mills
are located. The same system may
tend in the west to aid in the produc'
ton OF floods in the Ohio river, by in
creasing the drainage from adjacent
lands.

Ancient GnIieys 90 he Raised.


The Archaeological society of Athens
has decided TO make researches ct the
bottom of the sea in the bay of Salamis,
where the famous naval battle between
the Greeks and Persians was fought.
The water is not very deep in the bay.
As the present state Of technical
science enables the society to adopt
efficient means Of investigation, and AS
the association possesses the necessary
financial strength, it is hoped that the
enterprise will succeed. Since the
Greeks lost about fifty, and the Per-
slams nearly two hundred galleys, which
have since been lying undisturbed at
the bottom of the sea, it is thought that
it may be possible 70 bring up some
complete specimens. or, ut least, por-
tions Of them, which may afford more
accurate knowledge Of the naval arch
itecture Of the old Hcllenes and the
Persians than can be gathered from
their writings. The attempt Is looked
forward h. with great interest.

DIR. Charles Roberts report to the
anthropometric committee rs to the
average bodily growth Of Englishmen
was based on the measurement OF over
$4,000 individuals, and contains some
facts of general interest. Thus 1t ap.
pears that between the ages of III and
~ girls are taller, and between Ia
AMI l5l are heavier. than boys Of the
same age. The public-school boy at
IA averages nearly seven inches more
in height than the Industrial school boy
at the same age. Prize winners are
found to have decided advantage in
height. The curious circumstance is
stated that Fellows Of the Royal Society
are more than two inches above the
average height.
