Rosedale, 18th District. The men employ
ed on section Z, of the B. & O. extension, while
on their way to work Monday morning last, they
found the dead body of Thos. English lying at
the foot of an embankment. 1t is supposed that
he fell into the cut while intoxicated and died
from exposure. An inquest was held and ver-
dict rendered in accordance with the facts stated.
Deceased was about so years of age and was well
known in the neighborhood.
Since the work on the railroad has been in pro-
gress in this section the saloons on the Phila.
road have been doing a rushing business on
Sunday, particularly one on the 9-mile hill, which
is kept by an italian. Crowds of drunken men
can be seen there any Sunday, and the people of
the neighborhood are loud in their complaints on
account of this shameful Dissertation of the Sab
bath and the open violation of law. 1t is some

Death of an Aged Colored Man.-The
Hartford county Agis Says "Ananias, or as he
was more generally known, Niah Bond, died on
the farm of Mr.. VIM. Hopkins, Jr., near Chenille,
one day last week, at good old age. He had
never been slave and was the son of a WELL
known coIored man, Prush Bond, of the Big
Woods. Nah, for many years before his death,
spent his time alternately in cutting wood for the
neighboring farmers and mending his shoes. For
the latter work he appeared to have perfect
mania. He would add patch upon patch, until
of them was exhibited as curiosity at the agri-
cultural fair a few years ago. 1t was 10 or 16
inches long and weighed or pounds"

found himself famous. Tie maintained
that approaching weather may be fore
told by such simple points or features as
the dryness or humidity of previous sea-
scHs, eXtIcm OF heat or cold, general
direction of winds, earliness or lateness
of spring aud autumn, conditions Of mid
summer, first appearance and degree of in
tensity of frost, the number of thunder
