Mr.. Albert Schippel has met with
an unfortunate accident in the saw
ing off of three fingers of his left
hand. He was at work with buzz
saw, cutting out some scroll work for
Mr.. f. G. HeinZe when his hand came
in contact with the saw and quicker
than it takes to tell it. Mr.. Schippel
was minus portion of his hand. The
injured member began to bleed pro-
fusely and desiring to hasten to the
office of DR.. Andrews, Mr.. Schippel
was placed in wagon and the driver
ordered to run his horse as fast as he
could. A policeman attempted to
stop the animal, which was racing at
mad pace but the driver never halt
ed the horse, for it was a matter of
life and death. The man reached the
doctors Office and was carried up
stairs in weak condition, caused by
the loss of blood. After the wounded
hand had been skillfully dressed, Mr.
Geo. Pass, out of the goodness of his
heart, had the man taken to his home
where he is being cared for. Mr..
Schippel learned the trade of architect
of Mr.. Pass, but for some time has
been following the carpenter bust

any of the former ones given.
There were not quite as many
present as usual, but this had the
effect of making the dancing easier,

Being Saturday evening, everyone
went home earlier than usual, but
all had most pleasant time.

A Female Traveller.

An odd tramp who lately began her
wanderings in Connecticut is Catherine
Walker, a bent old woman, eighty-three
years old, who wears a bingham dress
and deep black hood She has a
wripkled, not unpleasant face, and looks
like any aged farmers wife in the coun-
try towns. She came into Norwich from
Willimantic day or two ago. She is
not crazy. She issa professional tramp.
Catherine is an excellent walker, but
she prefers to ride on a railroad if she
can get county selectman to forward
her in that way.
She says that she first started OH the
road from birmingham, and has crossed
Massachusetts, and Connecticut several
times. She came into Willimantic early
in the week, staid there awhile and
then told the selectmen of the town that
she had lots of friends in Norwich who
would be glad to see her. So the select
men bought her a ticket for Norwich
and put her or board of a south bound
train She is such kind, motherly
looking old woman that she had no
trouble in borrowing a dollar or two Of
people on the street in this town. After
few days she informed Selectman
Lillibridge that she guessed she would
go back to Willimantic" The select
man accordingly bought a railroad
ticket for her, and she went back to
that borough on the first northward
bound train. No doubt the Willimantic
authorities will buy another ticket for
her and send her on her travels.

why American Girls Succeed in England

Why American GIFTS succeed IN EnSiAno'
The alleged mystery as to how it is
possible for American girls to be so sue
cessful in English society is after all no
mystery, but simply owing to their self
assertion. They appraise themselves
highly, insist upon attention and decline
to be ignored, all without the sacrifice
of their dignity. The English girl does
nothing of the sort, but remains to the
Englishman something better than his
dog, little dearer than his horse"
have stopped at the country house of an
English peer and seen twelve English
gentlemen ignore the existence of twelve
English ladies at dinner every evening
for week. These men hunted all day,
talked nothing but hunt all dinner and
played cards and billiards all evening.
The fair sex were apparently part OF
the furniture of the establishment and
nothing more. It was pitiable to see
them try to appear interested in the talk
about the days sport, asking timid ques-
tons and getting snubby answers.
This party was afterward joined by
an American girl After being there
two days she told me she would not
stand being ignored She would make
the men talk to her and stay a little
while in the drawing room after dinner
and she did. The next day when
they began on their old subject
she said laughingly: "Oh, have such
happy thought! Suppose you men
stop harping on horses and hunting and
make yourselves agreeable to us. know
you are all blase and dying for new
sensation, and this will be very strange
and weird to you.' This speech simply
electrified the front de beufs seated
around the table. They laughed, looked
at her with interest, and from that time
ON the women had delightful time
particularly the American. - Arthur

For the z. G. ADVERTISE R.
Deep in mountain cleft it lies,
Where nature with lavish hand,
Has spread DER all the lovely land,
Beneath the topaZ-tinted skies
Unfading flowers in gorgeous dyes.
Here summer never faints or wanes,
And softly through the forest fans
The perfumed zephyr sweeps and
signs.
Here tropic birds on scarlet wing
Fit like flash athwart the green;
While in the purple deeps unseen
The feathered songsters Tilt and sing,
And MARBLE in their merriest moods
Sweet music in far-folded woods,
Till all the forest-rafters ring.
Basaltic columns, grey and steep,
Like to some minister tower OF old,
Shoot upwards from the green and
gold,
OF guava forest lying deep
Beneath the shade of hoary keep;
And cliffs O'erhung with ferny
plumes,
And wild Eugenia's crimson blooms.
The white winged waters downward
leap
Impetuous to the vale below,
And run and ripple DER the stones
While echoes of mellifluous tones
Through hill and valley come and go.
How grand, yet solemn are the
tunes
How loud, yet sweet the woodland
