out with series Of autobiographical, personal,
commercial, financial and anecdotical stories,
which, although addressed to the lady that &C
companied him, reached the ears of every occu-
pant Of the coach. Whatever information he
impaired was evidently intended for the world
ct large. He hailed, 1t seems, from Washington
territory, and what his fellow travellers did not
learn about Tacoma and Spokane Falls, the
men and women there and the business
opportunities presented, was not worth men
tioning. The stream Of French talk that
Carlyle stigmatized was but . rill of cold
molasses compared to his speech, which was
only interrupted by an occasional comic song,
or few tunes, whistled In the style Of the
accomplished colored gentlemen that disclose
their accomplishments in barrooms, for SIX

Mrs Charles Botsford Injured.

Mrs Charles Botsford, wife of the well
known blacksmith, Charles Botsford, liv-
ing near the Monroe line, miraculously
escaped serious accident about p m,
Saturday. While sitting in wagon in
front of Stegeman & Whetstine's store in
Bridgeport, runaway team belonging
to j. C. Peck, builder, came dashing
down Cannon street, striking Mr. Bots
ford's wagons land throwing Mrs Botsford
to the sidewalk. The lines caught around
her neck and, the horse starting at the
same time, she was dragged till some one
released her, when she was nearly I'M
conscious. Mr. Peck, finding who the
owner of the team was, handed Mr. Bots
ford his card. Daniel Lucey witnessed
the scene and kindly offered his home to
Mr. Botsford. Mrs Botsford was taken
there and DR. Wright called, who found
no bones broken or fractured, though her
lungs were badly shaken, besides severe
bruises about the back and shoulders.
She was kindly cared for at Mr. Lucey's
home till Monday, when she
was SohNCyCo ou d peo III hdSh W hcI
own home near Botsford, and is doing as
well as could be expected. Mr. Botsford
had just completed building on and re-
modelling his home. Mrs Botsford had
taken pleasure in the thought, had made
for inviting all the near rel
atives to make merry the old homestead
on Thanksgiving day. How little we
know what a day may bring forth!

WOODBURY..

Mrs Martha A. Warner, whose serious
illness from apoplexy has been mention
ed, never regained consciousness, but
died, Tuesday, 18th, in the 63d year of
her age and was laid at rest in the North
cemetery on Friday. The words ''laid
at rest" have great significance in her
case. She was acquainted with sorrow
her life long. Few are called to endure
so many of life's painful vicissitudes.
But in them all and through them all, she
bore herself in great patience. 1t can
well be hoped, that she has gone to reap
the reward of those who do we'll.
Watson C. Bunnell of West Side fame
was brought before Justice Towne and
pleaded guilty to an assault with stone
on Elliot B. Human. He further plead
ed in mitigation that Mr. Human spoke
''hired girl who has the shelter of his
roof-tree. The justice imposed Il fine of
81 and costs, enough to bring the total
up to some $l4, which he paid and sus-
pended judgment on the second count,
stating that it would be 30 days in Jail, if
there was repetition of an offence
against the criminal law. 1t was sugges-
ted that dispensing with a "hired girl"
would help matters some.

1t consists of a block Of very porous
wood about inches long, two and half
wide and an inch thick. On it is traced
the figure of human being with paint
or pigment in all the colors of the rain
bow. 1t is not the full figure, buta bust.
From thesvariety of colors,it would seem
that that people had some knowledge of
the arts. If we could know the age and
history of this piece OF unknown wood,
it would be a matter Of great interest.
Miss Carrie L. Morris has returned to
her studies in Boston.
Charles Benedict of New Jersey and

to make this an occasion to be enjoyed.
Watch the BEE for date and particulars.
The sad intelligence of the death OF
Rev George E. Gardner of Kansas City
was received by his sister, Mrs IL. +.
Burroughs, week or so since. He had
lately been appointed archdeacon OF west
Missouri and, on a missionary trip, took
a severe cold which settled in his throat
and eventually caused his death. He
was man beloved by all who knew him
and of whom Bishop futile writes :
"Pure, true, unselfish, devoted, loving,
faithful, consecrated priest of God, he
was one of the best and truest in his work
of any | ever knew" He was son of Rev
II. V. Gardner, former rector of Grace
Episcopol parish of Long Hill.
The Italian shanty was broken into
and their bread and tobacco stolen. 1t is
hoped the thieves may be tracked and
punished.
In regard to the red paint on e. Platt's
store, it was Frank not Fred Gabler who
led the mischief.
Petty thieves are getting bold in this
vicinity. S. j. Burroughs lost har-
ness and OK yoke, Mrs Charles Walker
lost steak, dressed chickens, vinegar,
canned fruit, Goldfish, ETC., by their

Another good quality at So 81,

But the shoes that hold their
