He followed the livery stable business in

Judge notfron ksving filled an ordinary
Judicial Office, though he was at one
time Justice OF the Peace in Phoebe when
the office was very important one; but
because before Lincoln County was regu.

O.ntb or Emanuel SpIegeI.

The relatives and many friends OF
Emanuel Spiegel of this town. were
shocked and grieved this morning to
learn that he died suddenly at Breslau,
Prussia, yesterday. The news announc-
ing his death came from Joseph Leh-
man of New York, who received a
cablegram from Breslau. The body
will be buried tomorrow.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Spie-
gel sailed for Germany about two
months ago to visil q brother and sister
and other relatives, and for the past
month he has been travelling consider
ably. Letters recently received from
him indicated that he was in the best of
health and thoroughly enjoying himself.
His death was wholly unexpected and
was caused BIZ diabetes.
Mr.. Spiegel is survived by two daugh-
ters, Henrietta and Emma, milliners in
this town, his wife having died in 1886.
He came to Pittsfeld from Bennington,
VT, some Is or more years ago, and en-
gagged in business here. 1t is said that
he was then worth $4,000, but later he
met with business reverses which swal-
lowed a greater portion of this. lie has
always been well-to-dO, active and
thrifty man, highly respected and es-
teemed by his fellow citizens, and his
sudden death is sincerity regretted. Mr..
Spiegel was Mason, member of Crcs-
cent lodge of this town, and also of
Berkshire RIA. chapter. He was &c
years old.-[Pittslield (Mass.) Eagle,

The Probable Fate OF the Third artv

Stories oft point moral and it seems
fitting that we should end this digest
with one from the Boston Traveller, il
Illustrating the probable fate of the third
party Democratic annex. 1t runs rs
follows: "A boy had very snappish
and very small dog. He made up in
snarling what he lacked in size. His
chief delight was to rush out at passers
by, to bark anyway and bite if he could.
The father of the boy warned him to
keep the dog inside the gate or there
would be trouble. Some one who had
been annoyed stuffed q small SAUSAGE
skin with explosives, to which n slow
match was attached. One night the dog
came out furious, and the man dropped
at the gate the loaded sausage which
had been buttered on the outside. The
dog smelt and swallowed the bait (;
seemed to know something was wrong.
and retired from the scene. Half way
to the steps the sausage went of and the
dog was altered, head in one place and
tail in another and the body generally
was distributed over the grounds. The
father and the boy heard the racket and
came out to see what had happened.
Said the father, rs he viewed the re
mains, MY son, that dog rs n dog, will
be of no further use in this world.n

ing the wild yet delightful scenery. The
cascades were only half mile walk from
the train but onlya part of the company
went to see them, although those who
did felt well paid for the effort, At this
season the flow of water is not large, yet
here is displayed richness of beauty
not easily surpassed. The time spent
here was too short to give more than a
passing notice of the natural scenery. In
returning through the tunnel quite a
sensation was caused by the discharge of
a torpedo, stopping the train in the cen
trail part of the passage, caused by work
men repairing portions of the tunnel (;
the delay lasted only for few moments.
Before the tr in reached Williamstown
the sun was scattering the clouds and
the walks and grounds were in fine con-
dition. A finer grove with better ac-
Communications could hardly be found /;
every body seemed charmed with the
place, while only words of commenda
ton were heard. Mr., Cole, the propri-
etor, did everything he could for the
comfort and pleasure Of the visitors. A
large number visited the college build
ings, and came back saying they did not
have half time enough to see and ENJOY
its sights. The train reached home a
little past five o'clock without a single
accident to mar the pleasure IF person
who went, aud on every hand we heard
them say " We have had delightful
time"
