SscreiOas or Suicide.

Last Saturday there came to our
city poor crippled man, a stranger
in strange land and during the af
ternoon hobbled about Oh his crutch-
es, having lost both legs at the knees
by freezing some years since, asking
aims, and it would seem with but in
different success. He confided to no
enc a history of himself or his friends,
but he is supposed to have come from
the Landing to this place. He stop
ped at the Travellers Home hotel, and
about 10 o'clock Sunday night it
was discovered that the man was suf-
feriDg intensely from some cause, and
a physician soon ascertaiued that
he had taken large quantity Of NOR
phine, and that the drug had got such
hold upon him that he could not
live. lie was conscious at times I'M
i'll four o'clock Monday morning
when he died. But li.tle could be
got from him. He gave one name at
the hotel, and at the City Drug store
where he got some OF the drug, he
registered with his own hand the name
of james Welch. lie said he used
the drug for epilcplic fits. lie also
said he had lost his limbs by freezing,
out in Dakota, and that the amputa-
ton Of the limbs was performed by
DR.. Powell Of La Crosse, and that the
doctor was the only man on earth he
cared anything for, but the time of
his mi>fortunes could not be ascertain
ed. No letters or papers of any kind
could be found on his person which
would give any light as to his identity,
and his worldly wealth was but eighty
cents.
Whether his death was caused by
an overdose of the drug innocentIy
taken, or whether it was purposely
taken to end his troubles on this earth,
will never be known, but let us hope
that it was unintentional. DR.. Gauy-
reau, who attended HIM, has written
to Dr. Powell, at La Crosse, and it is
possible that we may learn more of
the history Of this poor unfortunate.

Tuesday morning last man nam
ed James Murray who had been tax
ing too much booze for his own good,
got into quarrel with Vim. jones at
Harney's saloon, and in the course of
the scrimmage Jones stuck Murray on
the head with a whisky or beer bottle.
Murray was carried to his boarding
house and a doctor called and for
about twenty-four hours it was thought
that he would surely die, but he final
Iy rallied and is going to live through
the conflict. \ warrant was issued for
the arrest of Jones, but at last ac-

SAD, accident.

On Monday last Mr. Neil McPhad-
rem, who has been visiting with
Mr.. Neil Smith this 81 ring, went up
to Corners Point to do some bust
ness and to see how the strikers got
along. In the afternoon when the
party got ready to come back and
were getting on the car Mr.. McPhad-
rem grasped the railing the train be-
ing in motion, and just as he put his
foot Oh the step a sudden forward mo-
ton Of the car jerked the step from
under the foot, and let it drop upon
the rail and before he could recover,
one wheel had passed over the foot
just below the instep, of course crush
ing it in fearful manner. He was
brought to the residence of Mr.. Neil
Smith, where the injured part was
taken off and the wound dressed by
Doctors Murdoch and Conan, about
one half Of the foot beng taken Off
Mr.. McPhadren's home is i'll Canada,
but he has fine farm out in Dakota,
and expected to start for that point to
see to his farming operations on Tues
day morning. 1t is sad accident, but
he does not mourn over it much when
he thinks how much worse it might
have been, had not some one who
stood near him caught him and pre-
vented his falling under the cruel
wheels.

Some fellow who thought himse

Some fellow who thought himself
in need of a fresh pair of pants, went
into the house of Mr.. G. E. Foote,
Wednesday evening and helped HIM
self to a pair. The idea of visiting an
editors house for plumber, and then
the meanness Of the man who would
take the editors last pair of pants, be-
cause he cenld find nothing else. The
government should order out its navy
and hunt down the miscreant and
string him to the yard arm.
z. St seems the thief also got
some $40 in money. Now the ques-
ton Is, how came Bro. Foote by so
much ready cash?

As the y. j. train was coming

As the \. ?. train was coming up
from Ashland last Wednesday, and
running through a piece of timber
where fire was raging, quite good
sized standing tree burned through
just in time to fall across the cab Of
the engine. and very thoroughly de
moIish it. The engineer and fireman
saw it in time to jump out of the way
and save their lives, but the engineer
hurt one of his legs somewhat. No
serious damage was done, though a
close call.

FEET To BIC PROUD OF.
A Sandusky Girl Who Wears the
Largest shoes In the Country.

Miss Fannie Mills of Sandusky, Ohio,
is young woman who has positive
genius for feet. and possesses the high
honor OF wearing the largest shoe in the
country, her number being twenty
mines. Her shoes have always been
made to order, and until recently, in her
own State, but now that Miss Fannie is
old enough 10 20 into society, her father
has had handsome pair Of kid tops
manufactured in this city, and the
shoemaker who constructed them has
them on exhibition in his show window
on John street, where they attract great
attention and elicit many expressions Of
admiration. The material of which the
shoes are made would have been sufli-
cient to manufacture eight pairs OF ordi-
nary ladies' shoes. The sOles are cork
and the shoes are buttnu tops. The
length from stem to stern is 10 inches
and the breadth Of beam is u inches.
The "waist" OF the shoe is ISL inches,
the insiep measurement Is l9A inches,
and the ball 10 inches. The top Of the
shoe, which comes up to the calf OF the
leg, measures 20k inches IN circumfer
ence. The heels are 81 inches wide and
A inches lorg. -Four ch,mois skins
were used to line the shoes, and they
cost Mr.. Mills $4j, besides the freight
charges to Sindusky. Mr.. Mills Is a
well ro-do farmer, and Miss Fannie is
pretty blonde, weighing lGO pounds,
and Of ordinary height.

STYLES FOR THE SEASON
OF Interest 10 tho Ladies' From New
York and Abroad.

A fabric for the melting months, Of
which Pa,isians make point, is called
creponae.
Printed etamhcs. draped In graceful
fashi VI over colorcd siikcn foundations,
retain the popularity.
MANY elaborate toilettcs are con-
structed Of silk muslin, light as a
spiders web, made over surah and gar
nished with tinted lace. Rare con!ec-
tions OF this character are shown at
McCreery's.
Novel costumes Of canvas or Sirene
network, trimm, d with flinges Of small
and finely carved cork, and worn over
slips Of red Turkey twin, relieved by n
scarf of red surah, sailor collar, cork
paremcnts en- suite, are late caprice Of
Parisiaus.
Many costumes Of marvelleux or
French fuille are entirely covered with a
network OF canvas; Others are all agltter
with beads Of many lustres, nd some
are simply finished with pla,tron or
tchu Of embroidery or embroidered de-
signs, or Turkish patterns, threaded
with gold, are profusely and appropri-
ately trimmed with Soudan lace.
A Partisan sensation in the way Of
TUNES is one in the form Of two bib
aprons sewn together at the sides and
shoulders, showing only the sleeves aud

acknowledgement is closed with rib
bons, sashes or silver clasp at sides and
shoulders. silk handerchiefs Of rube or
pale pink are used as plastrons will
costumes OF ccru canvas.
The handkerchief dress with closed
vest in front and piece to match in ti e
back, with half handkerchiefs Joined
at the shoulder and disappearing under
the belt, is a late novelty which is very
popular and effective for slender figures.
Ribbons OF fancy canvass, in all
widths with heraldc designs in shining
gold and colors, are among the late
caprices Of the seasons styles.
Fans of gauze or mullins, hand
painted, are popular and pershable,
though better investment witbal than
those inlaid with precious stones and
painted by the best artists, which may
only stand one wearing, II la mode.
Dome-shaped paiasols, made OF trans
parent materials or of silk, lace lined,
are very much in vogue, though this
dainty appendice should always corre-
spond with the costume.
The Shaw cosmetiqnes vouch safe the
best guarantee against wave and wind
that the devotees Of style could desire.
The best chemists vote them harmless
and one feels warranted to speak in
favor Of pure lotion by way Of
cautioning the readers of THE CRITIC
against the many hurtful compounds OF
this character used by ladies' who feel
the need Of some protection against the
ravages Of time, tide and travel with
which the summer days are charged.
An English disSiadtem has intro
duced small mantelet TO wear with

favor with the jlcket a Ia mititaire so

FRIDAY, AUG. 7, 1855.

THE Pres idcnt will leave this after
noon for New York to attend the
funeral of General Grant, and after the
performance OF this melancholy duty to
seclude himself awhile from the seat OF
Government and affairs OF State. The
good wishes Of the people, here and
everywhere, viii 90 with him. What.
ever disappointments our Democratic
friends may have encountered in their
quest for office, however many of them,
already weary Of waiting, may grow
heart.sick with the chilling prospect Of
another months or six weeks suspense
before them--in whatsoever II any re-
spects, the course OF the Administra'
ton is to be criticised, the general judg.
ment will be that Mr.. Cleveland has
fairly earned his vacation, and that dur
ing the five months since his induction
into office he has set an example OF
dignity, industry and patience under
frequent embarrassment and much vex-
alton, that cntitle him TO the
hearty respect Of the country.
We have felt disposed at times,
as others feel, to complain that
in the official changes necessary
and certain to be made, the President
has not always proceeded with the
promptness and dispatch that were
possible, but we have never questioned
his sincerity Of purpose nor his patri-
otic desire to subserve the interests OF
the people IN the best and safest man
ner. He entered upon the Presidency
under circumstances for which the his
tory Of the Government furnishes no
precedent and surrounded by difficulties
unknown aud never conceived OF by
any Of his Democratic predecessors.
The success OF the Democratic party,
after twenty-five years OF uninterrupted
Republican rule, made him the practi-
cal leader Of a new revolution, with
great exigences to meet, and without
the light of past experience to guide
him. 1t was not in the nature of things
that he could discharge the responsible
ties thus imposed upon him, with
ease or cclerity. He was placed in a
position with embarrassments peculiar
to itself and such as under no circum-
stances could have befallen Mr.. Blaine
In case Of the latter's election. Mr..
Cleveland, therefore, adopted the wise
policy Of moving to the great work be-
fore him with caution. The interests
at stake were too great to be hazarded
by reckless and inconsiderate action,
and while individuals may here and
there condemn, the sober second
thought of the Democratic party, as OF
the people at large, will cordially sus-
tain the course he has taken, as that OF
an honest man and true statesman.

THE LAND OF COUNTERPANE.

When was sick and lay abed,
had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay,
10 keep me happy all the day.
And sometimes for an hour so
/ watched my leaden soldiers 40
With different uniforms and drills,
Among tho bedclothes, through the hills;
And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

That sits upon the pillow hill,
And sees before him dale and plain,
The pleasant land of countcrpane.
