A Horrible Discovery. A heart-rendering discovery was made in opening the grave of James Spencer recently at Waveland, eight years after burial. On removing the coffin lid umistakble evidence was disclosed that the man had been buried alive. The particulars are too harrowing to publish. The silken linings of the casket had been torn to shreds and some of them were still clutched out the glass caPe above him, lacerating I his feet, wbicn were incased in stockings. I We allude to them to emphasize the caution not to allow a friend to be buried until you are certain of hfs death. Doctors do not always know, as in this case.

Wallace’s circus, which exhibited here, three or four years ago, had a regular pitch battle recently with a lot of toughs, at Mahanoy City, Pa. The following particulars of the affair we take from the Ligonier Leader: “A lot of ticketless people tried to force their way into the evening’s entertainment. The doorkeepers resisted, and were overpowered. On gaining admission the rioters attacked the performers, aud went so far as to seize one of the female members of the company aud drag her about the ring. The usual battle followed. It grew so fierce that the showmen threw away their clubs and brought their pistols aud gnus into use. They fired at least fifty shots, drove the crowd back and made their way to the depot. Some stood guard while the others loaded the train. As the last employe jumped aboard the crowd made a fresh rush, but were “stood off” with Winchesters, and the engineer pulled out to the music of rifle balls and the disagreeable whiz of bulkier but less deadly missiles. A dozen towmsmen were wounded, at least three seriously. The casualities among the visitors are not known.” A WfiT'/nosf’important qualities in a dairy cow is constitution. She । need not necessarily be large or coarse, I but should be vigorous and capable of consuming and digesting a great amount of food. Delicate calves are not worth raising, and a cow that produces delicate calves is not worth keeping, aud uo matter what the pedigree or sire or dam, no line of breeding is good which results iu calves lacking iu vigor. The talk about wedge-shaped cows has misled many. The development iu the region of the vital organs should never be small, though it should appear small iu comparison with the large development and breadth and depth of the ' 1 hindquarters.—N. W.

Twenty-three tramps raided a freight train near Columbus, this state, on Saturday, overpowered the trMnmen and ran the train to suit tbemavlves. Encomuters of this character,—he Terre saysf Last utaily occurmWtTUh the railrt^j * running ■ through thickly populated sVctions of the country, not always carried to the extent of this raid, perhaps, but of sufficient violence to bring into use dead- i ly weapons on both sides. The tramp iu this country is about as bad as the Italian brigand whose deeds awaken a sense of horror in the American citizen who reads with passing interest of such occurrences as that near Colum- i bus.—South Bend Daily Post.

When last seen was in company with a cross eyed woman, his arm around her waist, walking up the plank road looking more like a fool, if possible, than ever.

UNDER FALSE COLORS. They were making a railroad from a certain city to—no matter where. Suffice it that it was somewhere in that boundless “Out West,” and it ran through a wild, Indian-infested country, where fever and ague and raids from the savages were uncomfortably familiar evils. Among the small army of employes was John Marshall, a civil engineer! in charge of a section in one of the wildest portions of the line, but Ise was young, fresh from college, and hard work and danger had no terrors for him. John Marshall sat one day in tho rude log hut which constituted his office, examining plans, making out requisitions, etc., when a shadow across his paper caused him to look up Iu the doorway stood a boyish fellow of apparently eighteen or twenty, with smooth face, fresh complexion, curly | hair and somewhat effeminate in form I and feature. Iu response to Marshall’s | inquiring look, he said, “I have called upon you, sir, hoping to get work.” “Well, we are full just now in thia section,” was the discouraging reply, “What cau you do?” “I can write, keep accounts or do some thing of that kind better than anything else; but I will do anvthin« that ” J 0 “I see. You haven’t been used to very hard work, as your hands show.” “No, sir; but if you will only try me lam sure you will find me willing. I am very anxious to get work.” “But what sent you to this outlandish place to find it?” The young man colored but made no “Well,” continued iViaVsnuu, course that’s your own affair, not mine. I can't offer you anything in the way of work, because you don’t seem qualified for severe manual labor. 1 want a clerk —an assistant —badly enough; but the company wouldn’t pay you if I should engage you.” “That doesn’t matter,” said the young applicant. “If you could only give me board and lodging for a few months I would gladly stay.” “Very well. Un those terms I engage you. But what is your name?” “Frank Burrough, sir.” So Frank was engaged to assist John Marshall aud he soon proved himself a valuable aid. Educated, quick and ready, he soou made himself almost indispensable iu various ways. “Frank,” said John Marshall one day, “our section will be completed this week, and then our employment here will be at an end. What do von propose doing?” “I don’t know,” and the youth hung bis head sorrowfully,

“As for me,” continued John, ‘ lam going home for a month’s vacation, and I should be more than pleased to have you go with me. In fact, I insist upon it, for—in spite of your almost girlish ways—l should be lost without your society.” Frank remained silent, seemingly oppressed with a sorrow of some kind. “You don’t seem in good spirits today.” said John, rallyingly. “No; I am very sad, indeed.” “Will you tell me why?” “It would involve a long story and a confession, one that requires a sacrifice of self-respect to make*” “But we are friends.” “Yes; and I feel that you have a right to know. So listen with all the patience you can. Away down iu one of the lonely valleys ’that dot our beautiful New York State, situated near tne bead waters of the Mohawk, ! there lived a few years ago a man ; named Lamport, with a family consisting of a wife and one child, a girl. Mr. Lamport had once been a prominent merchant in New York, but meeting with heavy losses in his business through wild speculations, he had sold out, and with the remnant of his fortune had settled in the valley I have just.mentioned. Here he resolved to begin the world anew. Possessc lof a wife who sympathized with him in ail his trials, he never despaired, as many might have done. . '.‘But one child bad blessed their union, little Fanny, at this time about 11 years of age. In her all the parents’ feve was centered. Mr. Lamport had been at his new vocation about three years, and was in a fairway to retrieve the’. had met with in his luer“Things went well for a time, anl then calamity came. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lamport suddenly died leaving Fanny alone and almost penniless. Paralyzed with grief the poor girl knew not wbat to do. The neighbors, kindly came forward to assist her; and with SIOO in her pocket she went to a relative in New York —a widow lady named Plessley. She was not a handsome woman; she was not particularly rich, she was certainly over 30. Those who merely saw her wondered at the immense popularity she enjoyed; but those who knew her intimately, perfectly understood her fascinations. Mrs. Plessley possessed a most brilliant, intellect, spoke several languages, had read everything that was to be read, and could talk ou any subject in the world, from the most abstruse theological creed to the lightest pirouette of a Black Crook dance.
