I!0LLL:D INTO WATLR AND DROWNED. J William liarr, aged K 6 months, and 27 days, oo years, a well known citizen of Ayr township, came to his death at the bridge in the Narrows east of Big Cove Tannery last Friday evening, The funeral took place from the residence of his daughter, Mrs, Grace Bender, m McConnells burg, Monday afternoon, and interment was made in Union cemetery. 5 The story or the accident as far as wo havo been able to gath er the facts is about as follows: ' I Mr. Harr was a widower, lie owned a property just at the west end of the Narrows east ol Big Cove Tannery, which was occu pied by a tenant, lie kept a horse and buggy, and during the winter has beou making his homo with his daughter, Mrs. Grace Bender. I Last Friday, Mr. Clifford Mc laughlin, of GrccncasUe, came fo McConnellsburg, and wishing to go to the home of his aunt Eebocca Craig, near Big Cove Tannery, hired Mr. Ilarr to take him to his aunt's home. Mr Barrand Mr. McLaughlin loft IdcUonnellsburg about five o Clock, and reached their destina tion without incident worthy of note. About eight o'clock iu the evening Mr. Ilarr left Craig's laying that he wanted to go and put his horse up. Between eight and nine o'clock, Mr. uavia luorton in passing through the Narrows, returning to his home from Big Cove Tan nery where he had been to get his mail, heard a call of distress from omo one in the direction of the bridge, and being on horseback, spurred up, and was soon to the bridge where his horse stopped suddenly, refusing to go upon the bridge. In the dense dark less, .Mr. Morton managed to discern that a team was on the bhdge. Mr. Morton calling, and receiving no answer, thought it tne part of wisdom to goto Berk ey H. Mine's iu the Big Spring frm house a short distance away, Sbt a lantern, and some one to accompany him. When he and Mr. Klme returnod with a light they found the horse standing on tbe bridge, hitched to a buggy, the hind cerriage of which was tinging down over the side of the tfidgj, but caught fast, j'l'he bridge, which is 18 or 20 jet above tho bod of the stream breached, from the north side sleep approach, but the Mil '"mendof the brinV is hniit. j'the base of a hill and the road JMs up a gruUo immeiiiaU)iy mm the bridge.

Various kitchen appointments ana utensils also derive benefit from the application of salt. Tho s'nk and pipes connected with it can be kept fragrant and free fro-n grease by being flushed twice a week with hot brine; to rub over the inside of a dishpan daily with dry salt achieves the same end, and saucepans will al ways smell sweat if, after scour ing inside aud out, they aro rinsed first with hot salted water, then with plain cold, carefully dried and put away. Discolored crockery should bo rubbed with dry salt, enameled cooking vessels with a flannel, or, if much st lined, with a lemon skin dipped in tho same; copper utensils respoud to tho latter treatment, while milk pans should be given an occasional scouring with dry salt, boiug afterwards scalded, rinsed aud dried in tho usual way. If whon cleaning silver or plated snoons which A lave been stained by being used for eggs, a little salt is rubbed on the bowl, tho stain will bo at once removed. A little salt put in the washing- up water brightens crystal and also removes discoloration from water-bottles. It will likewise save labor in cleansing mirrors. window-panes and lamp glasses. Cut llowers will keep louger if a pinch is added to tho water in which they aro kept. Droopin it ... . i. uowers, aiier traveling may bo revived by warm salt and water. to which has been added a few drops of ammouia. The garden er uses salt as a species of ma nure in growing asparagus, strews it around tender plants aud sedings to protect them from insect marauders, upon moss grown paths to destroy the slippery and unsightly green and to clear the walks from snow.
