I Shot His Bride’s Foot Off. —The
Sidney (Ohio) Journal’ says: “The
trangust of strange accidents, and
’ one which might have led to graver
results, happened at the residence of
C- 11. Finn, near Houston last Friday
night. Mr. and Mr*. Finn, who were
j but lately married were awaken by a
- noise which they thought came frt tn
j under the bed. Supposing burglars
to be the cause, Mr. Fiun burned
iy jumped out of bed got a shot gun
and remitted. Mrs. Finn, all excited
wesju-t rising, and her right foot
hung over tho bedside. Mr. Finn,
j supposing the moving foot to he the
head of the intruder, who was come
n g from lus place of consoalment
without any ado or hesi’ancy, fired.—
The wife screamed and the husband
flow about iu a delbiutn. A light
was brought, and Mr. Finn discover
ed that he had shot his wife instead
of a butg'ar. Meanwhile tho bed
clothing caught fire from the dischar
ge of the g.n and was soon
but was quickly extinguished. Mrs.
Flinn had a Iwrge part of her foot
torn away, and was bleeding profuse
ly. I' was first thought that amputa
tion oi tho whole foot would be nec
essary, but it was afterwards found
that three toes and a portion of the
side of ti o foot would suffice. It was
sascertained that no burglar was in tho
house at all.”
A Singi'lvk Poisoning Case —James
Francis McLean, whose singular poi
soning was yesterday refered to, was
employed in th>e morrodbo facto iy of
James S. Barclay, on Plane street
Newark N. J. wheie imported skin s
aio tanned. List Wednesday he
was engaged in the handling ol tome
Russian hides that were in the process
of tanning. While his hands were
still wet he rubbed a dimple on his
chin. On Thursday night he was ta
ken ill,and Friday morning he com
plained ot ahids, and his tlnoat was
slightly s'.’.eiling extending upwards
to the forehead, and half way down
his chest. The swelling effected his
breathing and suffered intese pains.—
A consultation of physicians was held
and the conclusion was reecbed that
the youcg man was afflicted with a
malignant pustule. All efforts to
save his life proved unevailittg, and
on Sunday evenning he died, partly
from strangulation and partly from
nervous [rostation. These pustules
arise generally from the infusion into
tho h ood of virus from disease ani
mals and the skins of animals who
had died with disease ar said to have
commun’cated the poison months after

A miner in the ißaak 'Hills, writt
ing to a friend, tells of a ho-ril.lo re
minder of the fearful snow storms of
last winter, and of the> perils of those
who were caught out and lost their
way on the plains, Go says th.it
recently, while crossing the country,
they came upon the skeleton of a horse
within which was the ske eton of a
mao, with the grinning skull looking
out at them from between the ribs of
tho animal, like a prisoner peering
through the bars of his ceil. The
two skeleto.is told the who'e story
The Taan had killed his horse, cut
him open and crawled inside of him,
thinking to thus escape perishing of
cold, but tho flesh of tho animal Doze
solid, and the man was as mush a
prisoner as if ha had been shut in by
walls of iron. The wolves and car
rion birds had stripped the greater
part of the flesh from both skeletons.
Tho miner concludes bis description
by saying: “It was n sight I shall
never forget. I can see it now when
ever I eb.-se my eyes.”

Stir one large teaspoonful of un

oil, and stir in very gradually small
quantities of the lime water, until you
