 A Furious Drive Blindfolded About
 Town and a Difficult Feat Accom- plished.
 Andrew J. Seymour, the peer in the art of mind reading since the death of Wash, ipgton Irving Bishop, who appears here next Monday night, will on next Monday afternoon give his celebrated London drive. The Cleveland World describes his drive given in that city in the following account: A committee of three men was appointed to hide sea bean anywhere in the city, aud MT. Seymour was to drive the party, composed of newspaper men, to the place where it was hidden, and find 1t. At 12 o'clock he mounted the box of @ carriage. He was blindfolded. He then took the reins and away he drove at fire engine speed with shouting crowd behind him. He paid no heed to electric cars and vehi- cles of every sort, but stsered clear of them all. Standing, az he did, erect upon the , box, the man certainly had the appearance | of a person who meant business.

 A Greenville woman on Monday saw a neighbours dog chasing her favorite hog and fasten his teeth in the hogs neck. The woman called her husband and fled to the yard, where she caught the dog by the tail. The man arrived in Q short time, loading his revolver and he succeeded in getting hold of the hogs hind legs.

Then he fired two shots in rapid succession, which scared away the dog, but the fat porker rolled over and died be- fore assistance could be called. B oth shots had taken effect in the hog and the dog had badly lacersted the animal also.- Norwich Bulletin.

 The members of the Gounod society have all been notified by card that rehearsals of "The Messiah" will be held on successive Monday evenings at 7:45 o'clock during January and February, beginning on Mon day next, January 8, Harmonic hall, No. 6 Elm street. It is very important that members be present without fail on the above date at 7 o'clock, when membership cards will be issued to all members on payment of the membership fee. No seats will be reserved after the first rehearsal. Old members who desire to retain their membership should therefore communicate at once with their respective division of fcers, if they have not already done 90, provided they are not able to do SO ct the first rehearsal. Never has there been SO much interest and enthusiasm felt in the ranks of the Gounod society as as present in the work to be studied.
 ''The Messiah" will certainly test the ability of the chorus to the utmost, but under Sjgnor Agramonte's skill and fertile resource they are ready for the fray.

On the beautifully polished face die set in the solid granite is a choice medallion portrait in bronze of MT. Thill. The familiar face of this we'll known towns man is readily recognized from the medal lion. The cap Is ornamental and finely
 polished. On the die Is the following in
 scription from Clsudius:
 Like the grass of the field,
 Like the leaves, we mortals perish;
 Few only are the days we wear this earthly raj ment.
 The monument to the late MT. Brooks ie fine sarcophagus of tasteful design, and like the ope above mentioned, was designed and executed by the New Haven concern of Thomas Phillips 6 Son. It bears on one of the massive bases the family name. "Brooks." Upon the polished die is in. scribed the name "Edwin A. Brooks" and the dates "1845-1993," and the additional simple and modest, but impressive inscrip- tion:

The dis 1 Is surmounted by cap and an artistic de | sign of an urn. upon which clinging ivy i, | represented. The monument is about
