Workmen engaged in removing the ruins of the Paellle Hotel, Chicago, found a few feet below the surface, an iron bound box containing (20,000 In gold, silver and nickle com. There Is not the slightest clue as to the owner of the treasure. A Vermont contemporary is in fa vor of keeping hens, for the reason that for every kernel of grain they cat they give a peck. All are not hunters that blow the horn. The absent feel and fear ever)- ill. Tlie Detroit Fret Press of the 20th u!t. dc"serilie.s an adventure by a Ger man named Henry Outer, of Nankin township, who was hunting a missing cow, and got mired in a piece of mar-hy ground. Tlie narrative con tinues : -To his riifht. iiliotil ten feet aw.iv, was a knoll of solid ground, on which grew a I horn apple tree, one of the Hums extending almost over the man's head, and about four feet be yond the rtachof his arms. Thinking that if lie could get" possession of his gun he might secure the limb, Osster took off his suspenders, tied thent" to gether and made a noose at one end, and after careful and tedious work, lassjoed the rifle aud dragged it to him. 'l itis was after he laid been in the mire nearly two hours, and quite a while after dark. He was then In duced to believe that lie had not SUilK any for the last lialf hour; but the ex tra weight of the gun as he held it up sank him nearly to his hips in a moment, aud he quit-Sly laid it down. LITTLE TUFTS OK GRASS, Growing up from spots of solid ground not much larger than his hands, were all around the man, but the moment he took hold of one of them it would pull away, having no real support. Osster had a pipe with him, and lie got this from his coat and twisted off tlie German silver ring around the stem. Th(! ring he broke between his teeth, bent it lip like a hook, and then fastened it to his suspenders, determ ined to make an effort to reach the limb. Time after time he made the throw, but tlie hook failed to catch, or slipped off; or bent out Straight, and at ten o'clock at uignt tne victim was Up to his hips and slowly settling. Placing his coat and vest on either side, he pu-lu d them dowu with his hands, ami in this way kept his body from settling as fast as it otherwise would. p HE CEASED TRYING. TO SHOUT, Knowing that he cotild not expect help betore another day. As Osster did not return at dark, Storks feared that he might have siiot himself or met 'With some other accident, aud walked a nilie or so in the direction from which the man was expected to return, and stopped within half a mile of Where he was sinking down to death. Returning home, he agreed to make further search in the morn ing, and when the time came got a neighbor to go with him. They took a direction qiiite distant from where Osster was to be found, and, to be brief, searched the woods until noon and then determined togo to the ham let and sec if Osster had becu there, in coining out of the woods THE PASSED WITHIN FORTY RODS Of Outer, and were nearly half a mile away,, when one of them fired a shot at a squirrel on the fence. All night long Osster had been slowly sinking, and when the sun marked noon he was up to hi shoulders iu the mire. Healing the shot he put fourth all his vocal strength into one grand shout, and his voice was heard aud recogniz ed. Even after his friends were with in fifty feet of him he had to shout to guide Uicm, as his head was below tlie grass. It is needless to say that they instantly set about the work of rescu ing him. Logs aud brush were piled into the swamp until they could reach him. Finding that they could not puil him out by the arms, the mire was scooped away from his body, and he was literally pried out by a lever in serted under Ids feet. Twety five dollars for the first con viction, llfty for the second, and one hundred for the third, arc the penalties imposed by the new Michigan li.ruor law upon the man who sells, no matter, what kind of intoxicating beverage, upon conviction. Ifany one drinks nt a saloon ami limn that cause does injury to persons or property, both tlie saloon kceper and the man of whom the building is rented are responsible. A Scientific Experiment. Young men w ho go tosee girls have adopted a novel method of obtaining kisses. They assert, on the authority of scien tific writers, that the concussion pro duced ny a kiss win cause tne name of a gas jet to flicker, aud easily in duce the girl to experiment in tlie in terest of science. The first kiss or two the parties watch tlie flame to see it flicker, but.soon become so interested in tlie experiment as to let it flicker, if it wants to. A Singular Property. There is a boy in New York, not ten years of age, who all of a sudden displayed a singular desire to steal ; but the most singular part of tlie affair is that he will only steal when dressed iu a cer tain suit of clothing, and why that suit should have any effect upon tlie child is dillicult to 'surmise. The suit of clothing alluded to is made of cloth known as ticaxl. A Yankee having told an English man that he shot, on one particular occaslon, nine hundred and ninety-nine snipe. Ills interlocutor asked him why he didn't make It a thousand at once. "No"' said lie, "It Is not likely I'm go ing o tell a lib for one snipe." Where upon the Englishman, determined to not be outdone, began to- tell a story of a man having swam from Liverpool to Bo-ton. "Did you see him, your self? " asked the Yankee suddenly. "Why, yes, of course I did; I was coming across and our vessel passed him a mile out of Boston harbor." "Well, I'm glad ye 6aw htm, stranger" cos yer a witness that I did it. That was me. Such was the effect of a distinguish ed advocate's plea on behalf of a client charged with horse stealing, out West, that at its conclusion It was unsafe to venture upon the Court-room floor without rubbers. Even the accused wept a copious flood. A burglar was once frightened out of his scheme of robbery by the sweet simplicity ota solitary spinster, who, putting her night capped-bead out of the window, exclaimed: "Go away! ain't you ashamed?" We are told that there, is nothing made in vain. But how about a pret ty young girl ? Isn't she made vain? n.o.v STOVES INSURANCE, ETC. DM GOODS. I . si., - " ' ' " ' OLD STOVE DEPOT.
