LIVELY TINES AT SARA MAC.
The Big Farmers Picnic Held as Har.
Scy's Grove.

NJ fitnlc heiu oy n.
vey's Grove.
saranac. Mich, Aug. 20.-It is esti-
mated that over 6000 people attended
the farmers harvest picnic held at this
place yesterday, IN the beautiful. grove
OF Asa Harvey on the banks of Grand
river. The speakers were j. b. Chad
dock. of lonia, and G. J. Dickema, ex-
speaker of the house of representatives.
Mr.. Diekema is an excellent speaker
aud pleased every body. No charges
were made at the gate as heretofore,
when the plcnlcs were held at Morrison
Lake. The business men of the village
pad all the expenses of fitting up the
grounds ana furnishing amusements.
Everything passed of quietly until the
running race was called on, IN which
two horses were entered. Some time
was taken mp In starting them, and
when about two-thirds of the distance
was made one horse bolted, throwing
both horse and their riders in q pile.
One of the riders, a son OF VIM. Van
houghton. about l3 years of age, re-
ceivsd serious injuries, three or four
ribs being broken. The other rider es-
capped without injury.
About O'Clock yesterday NJ. F. Sar-
gent and one W. Il. Thompson entered
one Of the law Offices of the village and
entered into an agreement In which
said Thompson was TO purchase the
farm owned bv Sargent, the considera-
ton beng $4,000. Thompson wanted
every detail mentioned and cautioned
Sargent TO be on hand on Friday next
10 make papers. About 2 o'clock Sher-
i'll Welker appeared on toe ground,
claiming Thompson "a an escaped
criminal from the State house of cor
rection at Ionia. Sargent will probably
postpone making papers.

A Minister'S Narrow Escape From Being
Immured in a Living Tomb.
Rev. Mr.. johnson, a Methodist minister
stationed at Rolling Prairie, this county. in
conversation with some friends here. gave
an account Of a narrow escape he once had
from being buried alive, says a La Porte
Qnd) special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
he was located in Lafayette some twenty
years ago when he was taken very sick. He
fingered for a long time, but his life was
despared of by his friends, and finally to
all appearances he died. Preparations were
made for the funeral ami in due time the
body was placed in casket and was await
ing burial
At this time Rev. Mr.. Joyce (now Bishop
joyce came into the room to look at the re-
mains. He failed to close the door after
him and shortly after his entrance the wind
blew it shut with force that caused quite
loud noise. He was looking intently at the
features Of the supposed dead friend when
the noise occurred, and, to his great aston
ishment, he plainly saw the eyes Of the man
in the coffin neTvOusly move.
This led to hurried investigation and to
the discovery that the man was still alive.
The work Of restoration was begun at once,
which resulted in his complete recovery.
Rev. Mr.. johnson feels that he owes his
almost miraculous rescue from the horrors
Of being buried alive to the visit and OBJ
SerVatiOn of his friend. Bishop Joyce.

1t is now fully a quarter Of a century

mind that she was spared single pang of
grief when her royal husband was slaugh-

For nearly a generation the widow of the

ignorance of his fate. But slowly and by
almost imperceptible degrees, her mind
has become clarified, and she is once more

through the long years Of darkness. that
sad Mexican business in which she played
the part of heroine seems TO her nearly a
dream. 1t is well that il is so. Carlotta is
not an old woman. She is hardly fOTty-Gve,
and something in hel future may yet COM
penSate her for her bitter past.
But the same day that her recovery was
announced also brought the Intelligence
that General Miguel Lopez had been bitten
by mad dog and was under the Pasteur
treatment
This Lopez was the trusted officer who
betrayed Macmillan to his blood thirsty
enemies-the wretch whose evil work
caused CarlOtta'S insanity. After living all
these long years deSpiSed by even his own

treason, he has perhaps met his DOOM
What fate would be more fitting for this
