There were a few which elicited in us - a little

We know of no way to settle the "pig" ques

some two years ago. "Mr. F. W. Boyle of

old that weighed 350 pounds when prepared
for the table." The pedigree of this pig has
never been fully collected. Whether it be Che

profound mystery.

Obituary,
Mrs. Susan W, Leet, widow of the late Hon.
Calvin Lest, was the 'daughter of Charles and
Susan WUllama of Glastenburg, Hartford co.,
Connecticut, and was horn April Bth, 1793, w•is
married to Dr. Calvin Lest, Sept. 26th, 1813.
They moved from Saratago co., N. Y., and set
tled on the Choconut emek,h2 1817, from which
place they again moved to Friendsville, in
1820.
Mrs. Lett survived her husband not quite one
-year, and from a family of seven children, out)
two are left to mourn the loss of a fond and
loving mother. Dr. Nathan Leet and Martha,
wife of Dr. E. L. Hendrick.
Soon after the death of her husband
Mrs. Lett went to Scranton, to visit her son,
and while there, slipped and fell, receiving in
juries from which she never recovered.
This then has been her home for over half a
century. It N not our purpose to write the
ills history of Mrs. Lest, for as the wife of a
practicing physician in a new country, her- life
was full of thrilling incidents and would require
a larger space than this brief obituary notice ;
but let it suffice to say thatMrs.Leet was a true
woman, ever found where duty called, in sick•
nets or distress, ever to extend a helpinz hand
in sorrow, or death, to sympathize with the be
reaved and stricken ones, and In her social re
lation:,, cheerful and pleasant. acre around
her has she seen one after another of her early
associates, friends, -neighbors, children, and last
of ell her husband, carried to their last resting
place, but with a firm reliance on "Him wlni
(local all things well." tier faith has never
wavered, and she has only gone to a Joyful re
union with loved ones, to the realms of eternal
day, "where the wicked cease from troubling,
and the weary are at real"

will buy a eostly snuff box, tilled with powder

he is doing a handsome thing But how touch
better would be is basket of fruit or a barrel of
appleson which all the family could paricipatc?

The Auburn Calamity.
We give the following particulars of the
dreadful occurrence at Auburn, a brief account
o f which we gave last weck.from a correspond
ent of the Montrose Republican
"One of the most heart-rending accidents
that ever occurred in this section happened at
the residence of Mr. Perry C. Bushnell, over
his store, at Auburn Four Corners, Susquelutu
nu coat tour o'clock in the afternoon of Thurs
day, the 3d inst. Mr. Bushnell mixed some
turpentine and gum-asphaltum together, and
put them on the stove in the kitchen to boitfor
the purpose of staining shelves and counters
that he was having put in the back part uf'his
store. After Instructing Mr. Bushnell how to
Manage it and cautioning her concerning the
danger, he repaired to the store to assist and
superintend the work being done there. Mrs.
Bushnell watched and stirred it until she was
awase that it was getting too hot, and thought
she would take It out doors. She seized the
kettle and started for the door, which was clos
ed, leaving the stove uncovered where she took
the kettle oft There was a strong draught to
the store, and the vapor from the boiling tur.
pentine and asphaltum was drawn into the
stove and ignited, gashed to the kettle, and ap
parently exploded, as there was some of the
milli:ire thrown into her face and on the aide
of room as high as a man's head. As she
was going from the stove to the door the child
caught hold of her dress and fell down. When
it exploded she screamed and tried to got bold
of the dal, but she was momentarily blinded
by the dame, and the room was Instantly filled
with fire and smoke, and she searched in vain
for the child among the scorching flames until
the clothing was all burned off lrom her waist
and arms, and finally had to give up the child
and run for life. Mr. Bushnel heard her scream
and ran through the back store room and up
stairs Just In time to meet her as she was corn
' ing out of the door. Be caught her and tried
to tear her clothes off, and burned his hands
badly in the attempt. Finding that the clothes
were ton stout to be torn from her, he let go of
her to get a blanket to smother the flames with
and she ran out in the yard.lay down, and tried
to smother it by rolling. By this time a num
ber of men were on hand and commenced
working heroicly to rescue the child and save
Mrs. Bushnell and the building. There was an
abundance of surface water running in a drain
near by,which enabled thcm to control the fire.
As soon as the fire was sufficiently subeued so
that they could get to the child, be was found
lying a tew feet from the kettle, with one. side
of his skull burned bare;rand hls face and eyes
were badly burned. The remaining clothes
were cut off and oil poured on him,with which
he seemed delighted. His sufferings ended In
three honts In that sleep front which none °cm
awake. Mrs. Bushnell died at p. in., Friday,
December 4th, having suffered unspeakably for
twenty two hours. She was a daughter of Mr.
Andrew McCumber, of Pike, Bradford co., Pa.
All friends and acquaintances of the decsased
earnestly sympathize with Mr, Bushnell and
Mr. 11-ember and their sorrow stricken fauti
is in this sore bereavement.

To the editors of the Nfontrose DEMOCRAT :
Gt./J.l,m, :—During the recent canvass In
which 1 was a candidate for the office of Coun
ty Commissioner, some anonymous scribbler
published in your columns, that hest spring
when a juror, I charged the county 25 nines
travel when I knew it to be only 15 ; eleztion
is over and I am elected to the office' named
notwithstanding the falsehood circulated to
try and accomplish my defeat. The charge
above referred to is utterly false and without
foundation in fact, and simple justice to myself
and to the friends who have support, I me re
quires that I should correct it. I attended
court last April term as a juror, six days for
which I received pay and fur 15 miles travel,
at the 1.-gul rate and no more, amounting in all
to slfi 57. Mr. Edwin 0. Perry, a neighbor of
mine was a juror at the same time and received
the same amount and the distance was spoken
of between us at the time which he well recol

I request you to publish in connection with
this communication.

or myself. We received pay for six days at
tendance and 15 miles travel, each ; We were
tcgether when the amount was paid and dis

amount charged and allowed for travel. was
15 miles and no more.
