Some time after this, on retiring to rest.
l noticed that the skies foretold a heavy
storm, but not being of a nervous tenn
permanent l lay me down and silent
soundly. About the middle of the NIGHT
however, was awakened by a choking
sensation to find my room, which was on
the ground floor, filled nearly to the cell
ing with water, and myself, the sheet, and
a lew rats placidly floating on top. A
burglar swimming by looked in at the
transom, but seeing the state of affairs

GODEY's LADY's Book for NOvem-
Der is o genuine Thanksgiving num-
Der, calculated to cause gratitude in
the hearts of all its patrons. The steel
engraved frontispiece Without a
Care" is a capital study of child life
three little girls cuddling under an
old umbrella, each with q diminutive
pussy in her arms. Mrs. Mary Brad
ley has a charming poem in this issue
+" AT the Lock-" which is illustrated
by two handsome full-page process
cuts. Helen Mathers' new serial
+" Loves Lies A-Bleeding," begins in
this number in a bright and engaging
vein. Emily Reade has a clever story
called "Madame Hortense's Portrait"
which contains an account of hidden
Jewels in a secretpanel. "The Yoke of
HONOR ends satisfactorily this month,
while Max Weyde continues his in
teresting reports of Phillipa's doings
in the article on The Ceramic Club"
This series that tells about women
helping themselves in a pecuniary
way has obtained great and well-mer.
tied popularity. Another strong fea.
ture of the magazine this month is
orable murder that is set forth in ''The
Confession of Victor DeLuc." Err
les Legacy" One Nights History
and " The Lost Opportunity are al
capital short stories, while the poems
by George Birdeye, Mrs. De Fontaine
Minnie Macarthur and Charles l.
Morthrudt help make up a number o.
extraordinary merit.

BLEW Our THE GAs.-The Hagers-
town Gto6e states that a couple from
Virginia, arrived in Hagerstown on
the late train, Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, Friday night, and after
rousing Clerk Oswald out of bed and
procuring a marriage license, were
united in the bonds of matrimony.
They afterwards obtained accommo-
dations, about midnight, at the City
Hotel. Between l and two O'Clock
the inmates of the hotel were alarmed
by n of the guests complaining of
the great amount of gas that filed his
room and the adjoining hallway. Up
on examination it was found that the
unsophisticated groom had blown out
the gas before retiring, and that the
couple were suffering the effects of the
impurities which they had been in
haling. Had not the discovery been
made as early as it was it was evident
that the consequences would have
been serious for the newly married
couple.

RTINsBURG herald, SATURDAY., G 17, 1885.

On Wednesday last, about IL O'Clock,
a. NJ, a singular explosion occurred
at the residence of our worthy Mayor,
G. Mason Hough. Mrs. III. was. en-
gagged in boiling apple-butter, and in
order to steady the kittle, a large iron
ball was hung upon the side, being
used for a like purpose for several
years. There it remained for three
hours, while relatives and friends Of
Mrs. 81. were moving about in the
room, among them her mother, Mrs.
John Avis, Mrs. Thos. Cockrell,
Mrs. Wilmington and several small
children, unconscious of impending
danger. Just at this moment, the
supposed harmless iron ball, thorough
ly heated, exploded with a terrific re-
port, the fragments flying in every di-
rectiOn. Strange as it may appear,
nom of the occupants of the room
were injured, although a corner of the
chair upon which Mrs. Avis was sit
ting was torn away. The moral is,
be careful as to the character of balls
you place near the fre-the cause of
this narrow escape proved to be IL
pound shell.
The President Saturday appointed
William d'H. Washington, of Charles
town, w. Va, to be United States
Consul at London, Ont. Mr.. Wash
ington is a son of Mrs. Ella Bassett
Washington and of the late Col. Lew
is w. Washington of this county.
Therefore, by father and by mother,
too, he is a near relative to the
Father of his Country"- in a double
sense a great-grand nephew. He is a
very clever young gentleman-of fine
address and splendid physique, and
thought closely to resemble the Gen
eral in his early manhood.
