Mr. and Mrs. Smith Hayden of Marshall,

tism on getting home from church, where they
had heard it preached about, and the wife in
her passion struck the husband a fatal blow
with an axe.
A lady who had heard a vigorous charity

Mrs. Brady has just got a verdict for SI,OOO
—she claimed sls 000—from the city of
Cleveland. She swore that she stepped into
a hole of twelfth street and severely hurt her
self. The defence proved the hole to be only

counsel measured her foot in court. It was
inches wide and not over 8 long in the
shoe. Hence the verdict.
A Michigan boy ate a bar of soap on a
wager and then drank a lot of soda to take
the taste out of his mouth, and the way he
spouted suds and soap bubbles for the next
half hour baffled the skill of fourteen doctors,
who madly performed about him, not having
been informed of the cause of the lad’s suf
fering. They are all at loggerheads now
about what to call tbe case.
Callalmn killed Tourney by striking him
with a ei.ib and stabbing him at Wooster,
Ohio. John McSweeny, a noted western
criminal lawyer, made the speech to the jury
for the prosecution. In front of the orator on
a table lay the club and knife which the mur
derer had used, also a pumpkin and a paving
stone. When he described the manuer of the
crime he illustrated the blows by' whacking
the stone with all his might, and the stabs by
plunging the knife into the pumpkin. The
reporters say that the effect was not ludicrous,
as might be imagined, but excited the audi
ence so much that they hooted and groaned
at the prisoner. The verdict was “ Guilty, *’
and Callahan is now under sentence of death.
A young man in Blair county, Pennsylva
nia, has discovered an ingenious and success
ful way to capture squirrels, dead or alive,
without either gun or ammunition. Mis out
fit consists of a set of climbers, such as are
used by telegraph repairers, a sheath knife,
a pack of lire crackers, box of matches and a
dog. The dog holds the game. The young
man puts on his climbers, and goes up to the
hole in the tree, lights a fire_cracker and drops
it into the hole. When it explodes the fright
ened squirrel rushes out into a bag held over
the hole, or if lie wishes to kill it he strikes
its head oif with the sheath knife; if he
misses, the dog soon finishes it. By this novel
contrivance he often brings in from ten to
twenty squirrels a day. Large game is cap
tured in the same way.
Andrew Gugel informed a neighbor at
Dansville, N. Y., that his mother had fallen
into a cistern and was drowned. The neigh
bor said they ought to get her out at once
because she might be rescusitated, but Andrew
replied that it, was too late, as she was surely
dead. She was rescued, however, and when
she began to revive Andrew remarked that he
shouldn't wonder if she accused him of pushing
her in. He was right, for she made the charge
with the first breath she could command. He
had induced her to stcop over the cistern to
remove some leaves, and then tumbled her
into the water, unloosing her hands when she
grasped the sides for support, and finally
lotting her on the head with a stick to quiet
her. She had a few hundred dollars which he
was impatient to inherit.
