8 THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA. JULY 13, 1870. An Obstinate Man. Home time ngo a citizen of Pittsburgh was very ill. Ho foil Into a stupor which lusted three or four (lays. lie was careful ly watched by his wife and one or two ladies from the neighborhood. One after noon the attending physician said he could not live through the day, and his sorrow lug wife, with a view to having everything in readiness for the end, held a consulta tion with her friends as to the arrange ments for the funeral. The conversation was hold at the bedside of the dying tnan,aud In a short time nil the details were arranged, except the names of those who should be asked to bo pall-bearers. Tuioo or four young men hnd been selected, wheu the wife said, in a sobbing tone suitable for the occasion : "How would Sir. So-and-so do?" "Oh, he would do nicely," echoed the chorus of friends. "He's such t nice young man." There was a sudden movement under the covorlngs of the bod, and the dying husband slowly raised himself on one el bow, rubbed his eyes, and lu a weak voice said : " No, ho won't do. I alu't going to have that young fellow for one of my pall bearers." The ladies were astonished at this re vival of tho sick man, but his wife laid him back gently on the pillows, and said soothingly : " Never mind, dear, don't worry. This is a matter that need not troublo you. It is a sad duty which we will have to per . form after you are gone." " No, it Isn't," said the husbaud crossly. "That fellow isn't going to be one of my vall-bearers. I don't like him and never did, and if you are going to have him, I'll got well, see if I don't." Again ho fell back in the bed and be came unconscious, but in a few hours there x:auie a change for the better. To-dny be walks the streets as halo and hardy as any man. Frightened Explorers. A. Louitvillo papor says : A gentleman who has juat arrived in the city from the cave regions gives tho following account of the thrilling adventures of the teaohors and scholars of the Glasgow, Ky., Presbyteri an Church Sabbath School, who visited the "Grand Crystal Avenuo cave, at QlaBgow Junction, on last Friday. It is the cus tom of the teachers and scholars of the school to annually visit oue of those great wonders of nature, tho caves of Ken tucky, aud last Friday morning some sixty liappy children, ranging in ago from fire to fifteen, accompanied by tholr teachers and parents, entered the Grand Crystal Ave nuo cave and spent several hours exploring its great wondors. They reached tho river aud Mr. T. It. Pucket's boat, tho Cave Wonder, landed them safely on tho oppo site shore, and on they went, deeply inter ested in the enchanted beauties. They bad wandered some five miles in the cave when the terrible discovory was made that their lights were about to give out and would not last until they got back to the river. Thoy retraced their steps immediately and did manage to reach the banks of the river, where they had to sit on its banks for four hours before tho boat put in an appearance. Fortunately Mr. Pucket had a package of candles aboard, and tho thoroughly frightened children, parents and teachers were all got safely out of tho cave. Their suspense while waiting in darkness was terrible, as they did not know whore the boat was and they dare not go in search of it,, as they might fall into horrible pits. Another New York Mystery. There is great excitement in New York over the mysterious death of John F. (Sey mour. As reported last week, he was found in the grounds of tho General Theo logical Scminary.bls late place of residenco, with a bullot through his heart ; and tho police are as much ac a loss as they were on the morning of the Hull murder. Thoy immediately evolved a theory, of course, which was that tho deceased had commit ted suicide. He might have thrown his pistol away, or it might have been stolen, they said. Two men were emyloyed to to mow the grass over a space of twenty live feet square, where tho body was found, but no pistol was discovered, any as there are no signs of powder on the shirt bosom, the police have reluctantly abandoned their idea. They now thiuk that the killing was the accidental work of some one who wauted to celebrate the arrival of the Fourth. The wound iudicated that the shot was fired from an elevation, and the dotectives bavo settled down to the belief that the fatal shot was a fortuitious one. -The deceased man was in comfortable cir cumstances, and his relations toward his wife and children were most affectionate. He was a brother-in-law of Bishop George F. Seymour, who is dean of the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 13T" A Pittsburg paper describes a terri ble accident that happened to a youth in that city during the celebration. He be came tired toward the middle of the day, and taking a seat on a doorstop, he was descried by a number of boys who wore looking for just such an opportunity as this to set ofT a big cannon-firecracker. Ono of tl em stole up behind the unsiispootlng youth and placed the lighted lire-cracker directly behind blm ou the step. A mo ment later the young man turned round, and seeing tho tinexploded fire-cracker sit ting there he picked, it up and put it In his pocket with a grin of sattalaotlon Hardly had he done so, howover, when the thing went off, sending the victim sparwl lng ou his hands aud kneos. Very llttlo was left of his coat talis and still loss of the seat of tiis trousors. The young man went sadly home, the ruins boing covered by a long linen duster. tW During a storm which passed over Union township, near Mowry Mill, lled ford couuty, on Friday last four poisons were struok by lightning, oue of whom was instantly killed and three others so badly injured that thoy wore not expected to recover. Mrs. Malvlu Clark, her son, aged two years, and tho widow Stuft and her sister were engaged in picking cher ries. When the stoim came ou they took shelter beneath one of the trees, which was struck by lightning. Mrs. Clark was in stautly killed, and her son aud the other two ladies wore so soiiously injured by the elect ilo current that they wore not ex pected to recover at last accounts, tW One of the alligators which esoapod from the Zoological Garden at Philadel phia, about a year ago, says the Westches ter Local Ncwr, was scon on Wednesday in the canul at Port Provideuce, near Pboinixvllle. Some of the people iu that locality have lately boon missing their ducks very rapidly, aud they now ascribe the loss to this reptiio. The affair has created considerable excitement among the boys of tho neighborhood, and lu conse quence bathing in that water is about at an end. tW A youug man uamod Skilly, of Pittsburg, while In an intoxicated condi tion on Saturday, bade bis friends good-bye aud announced his determination of drown ing himself. But after wading into the water a shot t distance, Skilly thought he would defer his suicide until another day, but, unfortunately, he had excited his friends' curiosity. They were quite as intoxicated as himself, and insisted that he should drown himself for tuoir amuse ment. Skilly refused, and was straightway thrown into the water. A sober m an ar rived in tho nick of time to save the drunk en wretch. O" Two negro convicts, Johnson and Jago, who escaped from the prison south at JefTersonville, Indiana, a few days ago, have had a remarkable struggle for their liberty. Thoy took refuge in a swamp, al most inaccessible, near Memphis, Clark county, but two days afterward Jago ven tured out to get something to eat, aud was captured and returned to the prison. John sou has been in the swamp ever siuce, and is surrounded by guards, so that his escape seems impossible. He is absolutely boing starved to death, and he can get no food in his hiding plaoe. It is thought he is sub sisting on green berries aud roots. U3"MrB. Mary A. Adams was on Tues day convicted at Pottsville for cruelty to her grand children, a boy and girl aged eight and six years. It was the custom of this amiable woman to compel the boy to sleep with his bauds behind his back, and ou the floor during severe cold weather, and when seriously ill to perform hard labor. The girl's hands were blistered by being held over the stove and her shoes were takon off and she was compelled to stand barefooted in the snow. Judge Pershing will deliver an address to hor on the subject. t& Several people were injured in Jersey City Tuesday by the fall of a tene ment house. Mrs. Elizabeth Betty lies in a dangerous condition. tO nnf) A YEAR for honest, intell I gent bus 'rgu uess men or agents. New business; light work. Address Co-Oi'KHatiyk aobnot, Madison, Indlaua.
