KANSAS CITY, Mo. April Ga Wich-
ita dispatch says: When Rev. Mrs.
Thomas Cotton returned home from
church to-day she found her daughter,
one-yesr-old, hanging by the neck from
hammock. The hammock had been
stretched by the side of the bed in which
the nurse had left the baby asleep. It is

crawl into the hammock, and in doing so
its head slipped between the strands and

WEATHER DEMONSTRATIONS.


So long as our weather bureau which is
conducted on strictly scientific pr inciples
finds it difficult to prognostcatc the wealth
er with any considerable degree of accura-
cy the old goose-bone theory may as well
be looked to for weather representations as
any thing else. At all events one Henry
Stillmau Of Woodstock Conn, with a goose
bone for his stock in ira lie, setup weather
bureau on his own account two months ago
AS he has hit things pretty close thus far his
prophecy or guess may be worth reading.
Here il is:
"Ihe bone indicates more regular weather
than last year and not SO severe as even the
last mild winter. There will not be many
days during which running water viii
freeze. The cold weather will occur during
the latter part of January, and during that
time there will be several days of freezing.
Christmas will be green, but wet and cold.
January entrance viii be marked with
warm days, growing gradually colder. The
| coolest day of winter will he January q.
The brief spell of severe weather viii be
succeeded by heavy thaws, aud tho tradi-
| tional January thaw will come in February.

THE SKATING SEASON OPENS.


NORTH HERO, Vt. Dec. 26.-trod Parks
young man of about 10 years of age,
started to skate across the lake about l |
O'Clock in the forenoon of Christmas day,
Il quarter Of mile or so north OF the North
Hero and Alburgh bridge, opposite Judge
f. &. Kingsley's, and when about %
rods from shore he broke through the ice
and was drowned. The wind was blowing
a gale from the west and rs he was going
before it his speed was such that he passed
over several spots so thin that his skates
cut through, and when he struck the chan
uel he went in. He was seen 10y tho toll
keeper and others on the bridge at the time
three times 10 draw his body half out Of the
wafer, but the ice was so poor that
it would not hold him, and as he
disappeared he said "Good Bye to the
Wells boy. who saw him when he went in
and who ran a short distance out on the ice
toward him. Capt. John O'Niel made an
effort to get TO him with boat after lie
had disappeared, but the danger was such
that he was obliged to turn back when a
few yards from the hole whore Parks went
in. The water at that place is probably ~
feet deep and there was Il strong current
running at the time. The young man had
been warned time and again to keep oil the
ice. His father, William J.. Parks, reside.
at South Hero.

A FAIRY STORY


Il has long been known that there was
gold in more or less abundance in the beds
Of the brooks in Worcester, and in the ter
ritory between Montpelier and that town.
The existence of it has been brought TO
public attention Just now by curious Incl
dent. Clement Provost recently purchased
of Michael Cory Il duck, one of a flock
that Alr. Cory had raised ON his farm up
the Branch In preparing the bird for the
oven the crop was broken, and with the UNI
digesteI food there rolled out some parti-
cles Of gravel and several pieces Of some
substance that shone. Mrs. Provost threw
the mass i'll the fire but one of the pieces
chung to the inner coating Of the crop, and
she called the attention of her husband to
IT, His curiosity was excited, and close
examination disclosed the fact that the
lump, which is about as large as two double
d shot, was nugget of gold. The muscu-
lar action of the crop of the duck had worn
the nugget perfectly smooth and polished it
bright.

corning the Union hall buillmG then de

Of the erection of said building. According
to tradition when the corner stone Of the
hall was laid a bottle containing some kind
of fermentcd liquor together with paper
ON which was recorded the date of the
event, was deposited by the stone and en-
closed with brick AMI mortar. This build
ing was burned December II. 1889. On
the following morning Mr. Charles f.. Ems
worth with some of his friends, began Il
search at the northeast corner of the founda-
ton Of the building for the hidden bottle,
which they found imbedded in the wall
where it had SO long been deposited. 1t was
about half full of an insipid, nearly tast Pc
less liquid, in which II paper was found
bearing the following, nearly illegible in
scripton. "This bottle contains New Eng

was decided to leave the question of winter
sports in the hands of the executive COM
mittce The members of that committee
will be guided in their action by the
amount of enthusiasm tina. is manifested
when the snow comes, if it comes. If
there is no general desire for coasting or
tohogganing probably no attempt will be
made TO revive these sports until they be-
come the craze again in the natural order
of events. The club has a surplus of about
$3.50 in the treasury. 1t was thought de
sirable 70 keep tie club in existence for
future contingencies. and in order that this
might be done without any considerable ex-
penso to the member the annual dues We're
reduced to 81 and the time for paying them
was EXTENDED to January II, 1850.
