May 2.-Samuel Gauthier, a farmer Of st.
Adams, his wife Emily, their sons Joseph
and David Gauthier and bis brother, are
buried under a hundred feet Of earth by

sooner to the outside world. For miles
there is nothing but desolation. Where
the Stanne was once near mile wide it
is now only narrow stream, rising and
surging in vain attempt to break it's
new bounds. Woods, houses and cattle
are all gone, and nothing is left but
barren ground of uneven height for six
miles back.

The Greatness of Little Things Again.


Here is a good comic opera story:
Marie Wainwright was speaking of her
nervousness on the first night of new
production, and she said that an absurd
contretemps nearly threw her off her
balance during Il first night. She con
timed: perhaps you remember that
as Dame Hannah In 'Ruddigore' l had
to go ON with "a small dagger, with
which / was supposed to threaten the
wicked baronet's life. When my turn
came round, the dagger had disappeared
and was nowhere to be found. Moth
ing would induce me 70 go on without
my property, and although Gr. Bar
rington implored me to appear without
it was resolute. OF course there was
a terrible stage wait, and at last Mr..
harrington grew desperate, and forcing
something into my hand absolutely
pushed me on to the stage. And what
do you think it was?' asked Miss Vain
wright, laughing at the "Reminiscences.
''Of all things, it was large gas keyi
/ contriyed, however, to conceal the
absurd makeshift from the audience,
but when / had TO hand my supposed
dagger to Mr.. GIossmith he most I'M
kindly gave me away. How can l kill
myself with this thing?' he said, hold
ing up the gas key in its entirety to the
audience. OF course there was a per
feet howl of laughter, and for some
minutes we were unable to continue.

was he didn't think his wife would
meet the doctor, and if the latter would
accept payment for his trouble he
would be glad to have him go away
without torturing an unwilling vic
tim" Lets see the offender" said
the dentist, and then, following up the
advantage, he soon had five grinders
where they would do no more aching.
Suffering citizen was then happy man,
and desiring to also make happy neigh
Dor whom he knew was afraid of den
fist he inveigled Mr.. p. into the dread
presence. and after some coaxing out
came ID snags to make way for a set.
Then the neighbor, in his great sense of
relief, called in his wife, who yielded
seven moro to the harvest. By this
time the man afraid of a dentist, who
had had out 10, concluded 1t was just
fun and sat down for pull Of three
more. Then the doctor was out of bust
