Sad Accident at a Serenade.
THE TJMATOSA WHICH MRS. FORCEPS HAD RIPEN
ING ON THE ROOF.
From the Danlury Ncwa.
Those of out readers acquainted on Monson
street will remember that the roof of Mr.
Forceps’ saloon adjoins his house and is ap
proached by two windows. One of these
windows is in Mr. Forceps’ bed-room. On
this roof Mrs. Forceps has spread hesitating
tomatoes with a view to hastening their ripe
ness. Last Wednesday night she put live
more with their fellows, making thirty in
ail.
The Forceps have a niece visiting them—a
young lady named Hall, of Thomaston. She
has made the acquaintance of many of our
young people, and on Monday night several
of them got together to give her a serenade.
Providing themselves with requisite instru
ments, the young men took up a position
near this addition we speak of and struck up
on the instruments. Mrs. Forceps was first
awakened by the music and nudged her hus
band. He also awoke. The music was grand—
not loud or course, but soft, low and harmo
nious. Mr. Forceps was very much pleased,
and got up to the window to hear it. Then
Mrs. Forceps got up also, and retying her
nightcap, stood beside Forceps. “They’re
serenading Ellen,” said she. “I know it,”
said Forceps.* “Who can they be,” she asked.
“I don’t know, I’m sure,” said he; “but I
suppose I could find out if I could creep out
on the roof and look over.” “Why don’t
you ?/’ said she, her curiosity increasing.
“I’m afraid they might see me,” he said. “I
do’nt think they would,” she said. “They
wouldn’t bo looking upon the roof, would
they ?"
Mr. Forceps thought a moment, and then
concluded no one could see him, as the moon
had gone into a bank of clouds, and objects
were quite dim, \nd then be softly opened
the blind and cautiously crawled out on the
shingles, completely encased in red flannel
under-ciothes and a night cap of the same
rich material. Tbe music still continues
coming up through tbe night air in waves of
ecstatic harmony. Mr. Forceps sat down on
the roof and laboriously worked bis way to
the eaves. Then he lifted himself up to turn
over and look down, and just then he stepped
on something soft and yielding, felt his feet
give, made a desperate clutch at the shingles,
was too iate, gave a piercing shriek,
and shot off the root and went
revolving and howling in among tho band,
followed by the tomatoes, and madly cleaving
the air with his red flannel limbs. He struck
on his back on his bass viol, and with one leg
tore the entrails from Rn accordeon, and with
the other knocked all the keys from a silver
mounted flute. . The.man who plays the bass
viol was driven senseless into a pile of pea
brush, and the flate player, with his mouth
full ol blood and spliuters, jumped over the
fence and fled.
What became of tbe others Mr. Forceps
does not know, he being too busily engaged in
getting on bis feet and into the house to make
a critical examination of the field. It is pre
sumed the bass-viol man died on the spot,
and was surreptitiously removed and buried
by his companions, as there was no sigu of
him about the premises in the morning.
Perhaps the most recherche style in bon
nets h the high-peaked crown, turned up on
one side. This inode i$ pleasing and effect- ;
ive, but is not designed for ail, as the style j
will only suit a pretty lace. “Scotch” bon-,
nets give promise of being well received by
the elite Hat* are worn lower flown on tbe
forehe*!* 1
