INSECURE MANTELS. 
“Misfortunes never coinc singly.” A week or 
so ago we recorded the death ol .Mr. John Van 
Dolsen, River Edge, Bergen Co,, N, J„ resulting 
from a railroad accident. We have now to record 
the death ol an estimable old lady, living but, two 
houses beyond, caused by an accident no less 
heartrending. Mrs. David Kent and a sister-in- 
law, Mrs. Tehune, were sitting up with a sick rel¬ 
ative In Hackensack. The slat) mantel-plcce sud¬ 
denly fell, breaking the kerosene lamp, the con¬ 
tents of whleh were scattered over t heir dresses 
and Instantly Ignited. Mrs. Tehune died shortly 
afterwards, and Mrs. Kent lingered through some 
day's of agony, during all or which, and until the 
moment or her death, she was conscious. The 
brackets .supporting the slab were held merely by 
the plaster and not fastened securely to blocks 
Inserted in t he bricks as they ought to have been. 
From such a miserable piece of neglect, may such 
frightful consequences flow.

The movement of the plasterers to obtain $8.80 
a day has so rar been very successful, as most of 
Hie employers have acceded to their demands,

Gen. Diaz's statement that, lie will respect the 
Mexican Constitution so long as its provisions do 
not shackle him, reduces the Government to a 
personal despotism, tempered by usage and the 
fear of revolution. The audacious manner in 
which he has practically abolished IhcSenate gives 
more LUun ordinary significance to Ids words. 
Still, ho should be Judged by the Mexican stun 
durd of governmental practice, and allowed a fall 
trial berore we regard him as a military chief, 
intent upon abolishing the remnant ot liberty 
which exists I 11 Mexico.

arrangement between Montenegro and Turkey.

night, reports that the Montenegrin delegates 
still await Instructions, it. Is believed that the 
agreement between England and Russia relative

from St. Petersburg saying that Gen. Jguatleff is

EVERYWHERE. 
Wood Co., Ohio, Ms roll 18 ,—We have had u 
peculiar kind of weather hereabouts. Early lu 
the season there was a large, amount 01 snow, 
which made excellent sleighing. About the 1st 
of February it gradually melted, doing little 
damage either to roads or crops. During Febru¬ 
ary the weather was line and stinslilny, the roads 
dried well, aud we had most excellent wheeling. 
March brought an unfavorable change. The 
weather has been cold, and hitherto wc have had 
two snow storms. Just now there are l Indies ot 
snow on t he ground. A slow, cold, drizzling rain 
has been falling all t his forenoon, and should It, 
continue a day longer, a Ilood will be Inevitable. 
Winter wheat is doing Unely. Clover, too, is 
doing well. Rough feed Is being quite generally 
used for stock, and should tho present cold 
weather continue much longer,Tt will be scarce. 
Tills is largely due to the almost total failure of 
the corn crop last season. Corn, therefore, is 
very scarce In this county, though it is plentiful 
In those adjoining. Times are dull, and must 
continue 30 until we have another crop for mar¬ 
ket. The price of produce Is rather low. Wheat, 
fl.xo; oats, ilia:.; corn, J5C.; hay, from $7 to $. 3 ; po¬ 
tatoes, $1.25, and scarce at that; apples, green, 
ho to 50c. per bushel.— h. 
.iwluiMon l'o., Kan., Feb. 2C-—'Wheat is look¬ 
ing splendid, and If the grasshoppers do not in¬ 
fest this part 01 Kansas, we shall have a heavier 
crop in this part or the state than we have had 
for some lime. Tho farmers have ‘ commenced 
plowing. The Grangers are doing a good work, 
and we wish them success.—p. d. d. 
To llonsokcepers.— The attention of heads of

WIihi i* mi Air Gun ?—There arc two kinds: 
In one the air Is compressed in a chamber by a 
pump, aud being released expands! and will send 
a bullet with tremendous force; these are very 
dangerous, and are seldom used. 
The other kind Is made by compressing a strong 
spring In an air chamber, and this Spring, being 
released, compresses the air lu the chamber In¬ 
stantaneously, throwing tho dart or slug with con¬ 
siderable force, but not hard enough to penetrate 
a person’s clothing. The Champion Air Pistol 
belongs to the latter class, and will shoot a dart 
or slug 50 feet or more with great, accuracy. It 
Is invaluable for target practice. For sale by
