saved found utterance in another joy
full shout from the spectors. But
when he was almost within reach OF
the shore his strength began to fail,
and steadily the distance between
him and the shore increased. Then
every one knew that all hopes was
gone. He made a few more desperate
strikes, but the wild waters seized
him, and pitching and tossing and
whiriing him, hurried him over the
great cataract. As he reached the
edge Of the Fails he was thrown up
ward from the water until his whole
length came III view, standing upright,
and he disappeared as if he had made
a voluntary leap over The brink. As
he was dashed 10 ard over the Falls

vast crowd, and. terrible as was the
scene, not an eve Was turned away Is
he Was carried to his destruction. As

over the water. She suddenly threw
up her hands and slipped through nis

her. He succeeded in getting her
back near enough to the shore to

Now. my dear, said Mr.. Spoopen-
dyke, when his wife had propped him
up in bed and stuffed some extra pill
lows under his shoulders, now, my
dear, take your pen and ink and /
will dictate a letter to SpecklewOttle
If you will play amanuensis, / don't
see why | can't be sick just as well as
not.
Mrs. Spoondyke battered around
and arranged her writing materials.
Shall | write on a card with a gilt
edge, or shall | take note paper? she
asked.
You'd better use parer, replied her
husband, severely. When | want TO
convey my ideas on a shingle, FL
carve 'em in with my knife. Now
get ready, for I'm going TO start, ard
don't you interrupt me or you will
put me out.
All ready, dear, murmured Mrs.
Spoopendyke, dipping her pen into
the ink, and contemplating her hus-
band anxiously.
Mr.. Peter B. Specklewottle, com.
menced MIR. Spoopendyke.
Is his middle name b? she asked,
resting her elbow on the table, her
head on her hand, testing her pen on
the blotler. | don't think | like his
name, anyway. Peter isn't nice.
If any other name occurs to you,
put it in, observed Mr.. Spoopendyke,
with a growl. You don't need to
have a mans right name in a letter.
Put 10 anything and hurry up, will
you? Going to keep me in suspense
all day about who this letter is going
to.
Mrs. Spoopendyke plunged into
her work and wrote hurriedly for u
moment. Now, Eve got him in,
dear.
Got who in? Anybody | know

stranger? Got some particular friend
you want this note to 60 to unbeknowI
to me? Who's in there I'm going tc
know who's at the top before L put
my name at the bottom.
Why, Mr.. Specklewottle, of course
said she, looking at him with wide
open eyes. That's what you said.
Now go on with the rest.
Have you got the date and dear sil
in, too? asked Mr.. Spoopendykt
peevishly, for be was trying to think
how he should start his letter
No, dear, you didn't say anything
about those, replied his wife. You
only said the name, but I'll put thu

MURDER OF JOSEPH sQUIERs BY HIS BROTH
 FER ANDREW.

MURDER OF JOSEPH sQUTERs BY HIS BROTH
 FER ANDREW.
 Last Wednesday evening drunken al- tercation between Andrew Squiers and his brother Joseph, resulted in the stabbing of the latter by the former. The two were at the house of their brother George, in the west part of Ashford. The father of the three lives with George, Andrew living about one-fourth mile distant, while Jo- seph, who was about 40 years of age, and of vagrant habits, was also temporarily stopping with George and his father. The four had been threshing buckwheat to- gether during the afternoon and drinking freely. Andrew claims that the killing was in self defense, but evidence at the in- quest showed that the brothers had been parted while engaged in one fight, and that Andrew had been put out, and had broken his way into the house to renew the fight Joseph received several stabs, and death was caused by bleeding from gash in the throat, which timely medical aid might have averted. Coroner Seward held an inquest, the result of which was the holding of Andrew for trial.

Both barns are situated directly in the rear of of Orcutt's wooden block, on Market street, and it there had been high, wind, it is probable that these buildings would have been burnt. There was great excitement for short time. All the horses and vehicles were safely got out of the stables.
