that he has conferred on me by helping me to
throw off that chain of slavery, in which

CURED, and has held me in it's grip since my
earliest recollectons. Some time ago COM

CALEDONIANA.

ST. Johnsbury rs sustaining ner
reputation as "cold quarter" this
wear, and sends out the largest Their
mometer figures. By the way, there
seems to be considerable unevenness
about the way in which cold wave
makes itself felt. When the mercury
here registered $50 to 410 below
zero the other morning, some local
tiles on the west side reported only
lSo above. A difference Of from $50
20 SO, between the two sides Of the
state, can hardly be considered
slight.
But after all, cold weather is not
the only thing which Vermont is
furnishing just now for the entertain
ment of the country. II is said that
over 100000 small spruce trees have
been cut and shipped this season to
the cities to do duty in Christmas
festivities. To be sure, Bennington
county does most Of this business,
but the whole state gets credit for it
and where else can crisper and bet
ter Christmas trees be found
A North Dakota man, who had
suffered many years with rheuma-
tism, is said to have been entirely
cured by being struck by lightning
This kind of medicine is generally re-
garded as most effective antidote
for great many ailments, but al
together too complete cure" to
suit the popular taste. The North
Dakota man, however, is said to
have had the luck to survive the
shock.
The spirit that leads to the tear
ing down OF the mo coasting" signs is
the same spirit that gets into our
public assemblages so frequently and
spoils the pleasure of portion of
the audience. Recklessness of this
sort is dealt with too leniently here
in ST. Johnsbury. Presiding officers,
ushers and others in authority on
such occasions will do the public
great favor by putting heavy
foot-or hand, as they choose-upon
these thoughtless young people,
whose home education has evidently
been sadly neglected in the direction
OF a courteous regard for the rights
Of others.

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

forty-one years George G. Gaskin,

his home in BROOKLYN, leaving q wife
and a little girl, returned tho other
day to fud himself the grand father
of host of children, and his wife
the mother of ten children by anoth-
er husband Gaskin was u sail-msk
er, and on the day of his disappear

Three months after his disappear

WAS named after his absent father.
Seven years following Mrs. Gaskin
WAS married to William Bridge, who
had served several terms as post-mas-
ter here and WAS leader in Rspubli-

A Brave Woman.

HoLLIDAYsBURa, Pa, October 90
With a roll of crisp greenbacks IL
her stocking and only her finger
nails for weapon, plucky Mrs. Geo
W. Bossler, last night, repulsed foul
armed robberies and sent them ty
ing from her home. This marvellous
power of scratching which saved Mrs
! Bossler her treasure was more fruit
full of results than her husbands fists
The face of one of the robbers WAS sc
badly lacerated that he hired horse
in order to avoid travelling in a rail
road car this morning in his flight
from the officers. The Bosslers live
at Duncanville. They conduct q
dairy, and yesterday several COWS
were sold. Hrs Bossler had also
disposed of a considerable amount Of
poultry recently, so that last night
there was in the house over 500 IL
banknotes.
Shortly after midnight four mask
ed men entered the Bossler residence
The robbers were all armed with re
volvers, and after gaining an entrance
to the house, one stood guard on the
stairs while the others mounted to
the second floor where MIR. and Mrs
Bossler were sleeping. One man
covered Bossler with a pistol, and
calling him by name told him not to
raise any cry or he would be killed,
The hired man, Brook Hamil, who
slept in an adjoining room, was treat
ed IN the same way, and his watch
was stolen.
A demand was made on BOssler for
his money, and his wife hearing the
threat jumped from the bed, took the
money from a bureau, and hid 1t III
her stocking. Immediately the 4th
robber who was not on guard, rush
ed at the woman to rescue the covet-
ed booty She pluckily resisted him,
tore the mask from his face and
ploughed half dozen little burrows
down the invaders cheeks. He tried
to defend himself, but again Mrs.
Bossler scratched his face until he
yelled with pain The other thieves,
fearing the outcry would arouse the
neighborhood, fed, closely followed
by the wounded one. Later the man
who had met with the womsn's nails
drove to Cresson and he is still at
large.

Msyor Carter Harrison of Chicago,
was assassinated in the hallway of
his house about 7:30 on Saturday ev-
ening by Charles Eugene Pandergast.
The william called at the door to see
HEr. Harrison, and when the mayor
appeared he fired three shots. One
entered the stomache, another the

teen minutes. The murderer ran
pursued by son of the murdered
mayor, and by his coachman, and
took refuge in police station from

There was quite bear slaughtering
at Pleasant Gap, on Saturday even

noticed in a corn field near the edge
of the mountain at that place. 1t

regular trips to this field every night
to make meal on corn. On Satur.

went to the field and watched for de.

at the place very long until an old
bear with two cubs made their ap
pearance in the field. Mr.. Rossman
got within range and at the first shot
killed one of the cubs. The next
load he put into the old bear but did
not kill her, and she turned. In the
excitement he dropped one she'll and
got the other in the barrel and fired,
killing the second one. The remain
