Gus incident happened at North Collins, N.
Y, little citation on the Erie railroad, on
Saturday. A newly married couple, James
Taylor and bis bride, were getting on the
south bound train preparatory to bridal
tour A large crowd of relatives and friends
saw them of, and the traditional rice and
old shoes were thrown for good luck. A
huge hobnailed brogau, cast by the hand of
a sturdy brother of the bride, went crashing
through the car window, filing the face and
ear of an old farmer sitting in the seat with
splintered glass. He could not detect the
one who threw the shoe. but selecting the
bridegroom and the best msu a5 his victims,
he attacked them furiously and a general

trouble was In progress. but not before the
bride had sprung shrieking from the plat.

black eye and torn garments, went back
after her, and the interrupted journey was

UMBRELLAS PUBLIC PROPERTY "A re-
mGrkabe case was disposed of by jury in
Richmond on Saturday in which the dec.
sion of the police justice was reversed. Al
fred Richardson, small colored boy, was
sentenced to thirty days by the police just
ice for stealing an umbrella. His counsel,
D. c. Richardson, took an appeal to the
Hastings Court. The facts were really
against the boy, but bis counsel determined
10 arouse tho sympathy of the jury. In bis
speech for the defense he contended that 1t
would be an outrage 10 send anybody to
Jail for taking an umbrella; that nobody
had ever been jailed for that. He stated
that on one occasion party of gentlemen
placed an umbrella in the passage before
the dining room Of the Spottswood Hotel,
first anchcring it with long string. The
waiter WAS let into the secret end watch
set. The result proved that every guest
who left the dining room attempted to take
the umbrella with him; merchants, lawyers,
Iegislators-all had it under way when
checked by the anchor. In view of these
facts, the counsel asked an enlightened jury
it would not be 40 outrage to iail boy
for taking an umbrella. The jary, without
leaving their seats, brought in verdict of
not guilty.

Most Wonderful Ewes

Jchu Thomas Heslop, O! Birmingham,

to be accounted among the marvellous. He

OBJECTS clearly defined. In 1878 or 1879 be
was attacked with some battling eye trouble
and came very near losing his sight forever.
After the disease had reached its worst there
was an instant and startling change for the
better, which resulted in complete cure OF
all Inflammation in an incredibly short time.
1t was not a cure, however, that brought
back the old eyesight lika that possessed By
the average genus homo. When it returned it

vision. To John Thomas the most minute
plant louise was as large as rabbit and the
mosquitoes bill as large as en- axe handle.
He could see and describe distinct minute
objects with startling clearness and preci-
sion. He was amazingly shocked upon re-
pairing to the well to get cooling draueht
to see the immense number of curious Great
ures that were 1ontiog, fgbing and wrig

John Thomas Reslop his drinks consist

eauization of the eye has undergone struc
urai change that the cornea has become
abnormaily enlarged and that the crystalline
lens have divided into three different discs
or circles, each circle surrounded by another
of light b'ue. IL the centre of each of these
three circles appears an iris, greatly dimin-
ished in size, but an iris nevertheless. Med
ical reports have been made on the case by
journals, such as The Lancet, Medical Times
and many others. The young p,an has been
visited by all the greater and lesser lights Of
the British medical colleges, each of whom
pronounces his case the most wonderful in
the annals OF optics.

The Rabbits Foot.

The foot of the common hare will, on

animal. II i, distinctly divided between
the toes, and is covered mode atcly with
hair. Now examine the foot OF The Caro-
lima hare. At the first < ancc it is not
different from its COu8 rs foot, but q
c oser scrutiny discovers a partial web
between the toes, and lesser quantity Of
hair on the whole foot. These charac-
teristics point infaIibIy TO the fact that
the hare is at home in either marshy
places or in water, or in both. And So
in fact the Carolina hare is, taking to The
swamps and TO The pools in the swamps

at once offer the great. st surface al . The

Quiremeats are met by greater evpan-
sion Of the membranes Of the toes and
mainly by very heavy growth Of hair

of the Arctic hare IS even more a snow
