II., who works for $1.25 per day, has J list given $000 toward a Roman Utliolic church fund. Mr. Allen, near Scranton, CJreen county, in passing by a horso was kicked in the stomach, and died almost al-most instantly. 5 Provisions at Frescott are plenty and cheaper; but fresh fruit and other luxuries command as fabulous pnceB as in California in '49. In the late struggle with .the Commune Com-mune of Paris, the French army lost 83 killed and 430 wounded officers, and 749 killed, C024 wounded, and 183 missing men. Kate Kelly, of Brooklyn, is the handsomest woman in New York, or at least the Americus association have 1 given her a gold ring as a testimonial of that fact. The Garibaldi boys have left politics; poli-tics; Ricciotti has just married and Menotti is sending fruit to England. That is to say, Ricciotti is in transports and Menotti in exports. J. L. Smith was arrested in New Orleans, recently, for a murder he bad committed in Carrollton, Georgia, fifteen years ago so long since that he had almost forgotten it. Miss Sarah Brown, a colored servant at Charleston, stole a white dress, muslin spencer and under-garment from her mistress to be baptized in.

A man in Sycamore, Illinois, chopped chop-ped down a giant hickory tree, over ' seventy-five feet high, and bearing ring marks of sixty years.

A Miss Thurston, who has made quite a number of baloon ascensions this season, had a disagreeable adventure adven-ture lately, and came down in a force fifty miles from her starting point about 7 o'clock the same evening. The baloon caught in a tree, and the young lady was obliged to spend the night at an elevation of about fifty feet from the ground, with no human being within sight or hearing. In the morning she threw out a rope, which , she thought nearly reached the ground, and slid down by it; but when she came to the end, she discovered that she was still twenty feet from the earth. As she could not climb back, she was obliged to drop, after which she made her way three miles through the woods to a clearing, where she procured assistance. |
