A Tramp's Singular Death.

A hunter in the Elkhead Mountains, of Northern Colorado, tells of tho singular death ofa tramp who came to his camp foot-sore, ragged and half-frozen. After resting for sev- eral days at the camp of the hunter, he was furnished with full directions to find the place he was in search of. Among his articles of attire he sported long-tailed coat, and car- rieda bottle of whiskay in each pocket. Sev- eral days afterwards the hunter found, a short distance from this camp, the tramp's body suspended by his coat tails from the limb of ts large tree. He had climbed tho tree to look ovcrthe country and mako sure of his course, and he had fallen headlong. Tho coat-tais had, aided by the weight and action of the bot ties, entwined themselves about the limb, and being caught at the throat by a tough buck skin string, had been erked up over the head entangling the arms and shutting off respira- tion. There was nothing to indicate who he was.-[Courier Journal. 2n'l

It would be impossible to enumerate the prices in de- tail, suffice to say, they commence with Ladies' Tailor Made English Melton Suits, at $3.95 each, actual worth of labor alone on such Suit is $500, tho entire lot at correspondingly low prices.
