Gently, the other day, which brought
bach to HIM some of the incidents of his
trip, and conveyed information which
was of a saddening nature. 1t was the
elimination of a little incident, which,
while. it's occurrence may be often, is
always sad, when brought to ones per-
sonal knowledge and Immediately be.
meath ones own observation.
While sitting on the piazzo of a hotel
Of one OF the Washington towns, says
Mr.. Williams, he was approached and
accosted by a pleasant looking young
fellow, in the prime OF life and health,
and a model of physical perfection and
activity, who struck up a conversation
with him, and in it's curse a mutual
like sprang up. They became quite we'll
acquainted, and a day or so afterward,
when Mr.. Williams made a trip into the
mountains, and through some OF them
on foot, his new acquaintance, who had
himself expressed a desire to 90 along,
accompanied him. In climbing up noun
tains, and scaling some other rough
and rocky places, the young man
developed a surprising activity, leaping
over gorges, running up and down pre-
cipitous places, and otherwise evincing
a robust constitution, and ~tireless set of
muscles. Finally the descent was fin
ished and the return made to the city
from whence they had come. The
young man seemed to be in the best
OF health and spirits, and not until
that night did there come to him
any evil effects of the days exer.

his comrade Of the day wal not at all

hemorrhage, in which he had lost con.
siderable blood. The young fellow put
the matter aside lightly, however, at

For q day or so after that the young
fellow complained of a weakness, and
was unable to withstand much exercise.
Finally MI. Williams was called away for
several days, and upon his return found
that his comrade OF the mountain had
been in bed ever since his departure,
and still complained of being weak, al
though in no pain. With Mr.. Williams
aid he got up, and for a few day did
nothing but sit around, read and oc.
casionally lie down, his strength refus.
ing to come back.
MI. Williams left him in that condi-
ton, neither suspecting anything
serious, and came home. Recently he
received letter from the father OF the
young man. saying that he was dead.
In the mountain climb, he must have
ruptured an artery or vessel of some
kind, and for the weeks he had com
planned Of being weak, his life bad been
slowly ebbing away, both he and Mr.,
Williams being unaware Of it.
Mr.. Williams says the young fellow
was genial, kind, well-educated, of q
robust constitution, and all these things
with the termination of his illness by
death, make the occurrence q sad one
The father Of the young man was g
wealthy contractor, and between him
and his son, there Was the greatest oil
