GENERAL BUTLER'S BRAIN.
1t Weighed Four Ounces More Than Daniel
Webster's-True Cause of Death.

BosToN, Jan. lit is stated that an
autopsy on the body of General Butler,
previous to interment, showed that the
cause of death was the bursting of q small
blood vessel on the brain, caused by q
violent fit of coughing. All the internal
organs were found to be in excellent con-
dition. and but for the accidental cause of
his death he would probably have iIved
many years. His brain weighed four
ounces more than that of Daniel Webster,
which was one of the largest on record.

Well Repairing.

A bit of experience in repairing a
we'll may be suggestive to some
reader: Through some cause a well
curbed with boards began to fill up
with silt. The we'll being about
eighty feet deep, and having plenty
of water, the pipe was shortened once
or twice, in hopes that the trouble
would cease when the source Of the
silt was reached. AS this did not
settle the difficulty q new plan had
to be adopted. The we'll was cleaned
out. and after filling it foot deep
with coarse gravel, six-inch iron
pipe was let down. The space be-
tween the wooden curve and iron
pipe was filled with gravel to the
depth Of thirty or more feet. The
water now teaches through this gravel
which. by the way. is of varying
coarsenesc-and no trouble has since
appeared.
