,Fbe Modest Saver of l63 Lives,

A modest hero has been discovered
at Philadelphia in " stevedorc, who
has saved the astonishing number OF
1863 men and boys from drowning, and
never made any fuss about it. He Is
called Freddy" Shannon, and no lives
in humble frame tenement near the
wharves, and there most Of his life-sav-
ing work has been done. ''They arc
always tumbling in about here" lie re-
marked to reporter; land it's my ma
ture to drop in If l sees any body in
trouble
Shannon seemed surprised that no
should be asked il he was ever given
anything by people whom he saved.
they were mostly poor, he said: ~
never got more than thank you from
any of them, and sometimes | dida't
even get that. The first thing man
loes when he's brought ashore is to
shout for his hat" There is bitter
irony in the fact that this man, who has
been quietly saving lives for twenty
years Che is now but thirty, should
have lost his own little boy by drowning
while hundred men and boys were
looking on. Now that Shannon's hero
ism is made known no is being eflus-
lively petted, and Congressman O'Neill
is endeavoring to obtain government
medal for Shannon. Freddy" declares
that he would rather have q chance to
earn more than his present $l2 n week
for his wife and four children than q
pocketful of medals; but he cant see
why people are making hero of him
at all. Anybody would done it, :"
he remarks deprecatingly. at looks
as though somebody is making a fuss
about nothing Springfield Repnbh-

1t is rule in fruit culture, that O
tree should not carry any greater
weight of fruit than its branches can
sustain. Still, with some rapidly
swelling fruits, peach and plums es-
peciallJ, however thoroughly thinning
may have been done, it is often found,
rs the fruit ripens. that the weight is
too great, and the branches, unless they
are supported, will break down with
the load Of fruit. The usual method of
supporting overladen fruit trees is to
place long stakes, with fork ut the
top, beneath them. A much better and
more simple method of effecting the
purpose, is suggested by DR.. S. Mease,
of Lebanon, Pa. Instead of using sew
eral stakes, one to each principal
branch, he places a single strong pole
against the trunk of the tree. The
lower end of the pole, if desired, may
be sunk few inches in the soil, for adj
ditional support, but usually it will be
sufficient to secure it to the trunk by
means of straw bands, or other ties that
will not bruise the bark. The pole be-
ing secured, the dropping branches are
relieved by means of ties made fast to
it. DR.. NJ. states that this method of
tying up the branches of overloaded
trees is especially useful in storms, the
support being central, and more natur-
al than where several props are used.-

Der, 1874, age 80: and Dennis, Octo-
Der, 1880, age Il years.
Otis received such education as was
to be obtained in the schools of his
native town, and also an academical
course at the academy at Chester, Vt.
He then commenced his career in the
mercantile business, serving as a clerk

The public life and services of Mr..
Cbamberlin have been of varied and
active nature. Although lifelong
Democrat, thoroughly identified in the
interests of his party, and living in
town always strongly opposed to De-
mocracy, yet such was his personal
popularity that he has filed almost
every office. He was for 40 years the

dulgent and atiectiouate husband and
father, kind-hearted neighbor and
friend. His last illness was of A slow
and painful nature, afflicted with a
chronic and wearing disease. He bore
his suftcrings meekly and with firmaess.
and calmly yielded to the silent mes
senger at last, departing this life at the
age of &c years.
