// £ L"fiufi!s-neum Turtle—A Travel- N ing Island. A BIRD'S PECULIAR A Hermit Stung to Death—Wrapped in a Living Bianket—Lightning's Freaks—A Dog Detective— A Strange Creature. DEATH. iliar Death, Among the things which have found their way into the rooms of Natural History society is a sparrow which was hanged by o woman's hair. It was discovered by T. A. Lamson, of ‘Worcester, Mass, N his house is a number of pine trees, and he saw ut the end of alimb on one of these trees a sparrow suspended from a branch. He could see nothing by which the spar- row was hung, and it was a very cur- jous sight. His son, who was called, went up into the tree and carefully sawed off a small portion of the limb. The whole secret was then revealed. On the twig was a neatly built nest, in which were three speckled eggs. When examined, they were found to be coid, which Nhnwmf the home had been broken up for some time. The male sparrow was hung by a woman’s hair, which was placed around his neck just a8 neatly as though it had been done by human hands. The other end was fastened to the nest, being a part of it. The eggs were on one side of the nest, while on the other side was a hole just large enough for the bird togo through. It may be, perhaps, that he had been ettacked by an enemy, and took this Away of cmupiuu ()nl) to mget his death. In going through the nest the hair might have caught around the ‘‘ehipper’s neck, and thus caused the bird to choke todeath. A Double-Headed Turtle. Leighton Foster, Bennie Evans and Lewis Bishop spent Saturday in hunt- ing for turtles, snakes, toads, butter- flies and bugs ulnng the banks of West river and on the West river meadows, says the New Haven (Conn.) Palladium. Among other specements captured was a turtle which has two distinct heads and necks, both perfectly formed, and they move in any direction. The turtle is about as large as a silver half dollar. If a fly is placed in the mouth of one head the other immediately tries to seize the fly. The turtle has consider- able trouble in walking, owing to the fact that the heads at times become possed of the 1dea of traveling in op- ite directions. This generally re- sults in a struggle of the teet and little progress. Foster bought out the inter- est of his two friends in the turtle and has it at his home, 73 Kensington street. He will offer it to the authorities at "Peabody museum. A Hermit Stung “0ld Tim Williams,” the hermit, aged seventy who has lived alone upon a smull farm, amid underbrush and thicket, at Lebanon, Conn., almos_ his entive life. was found dead ther cently. His place was seldom v owing to his eccentricities. voted to his small garden, h and his bees. These and a cat and dog were his only friends. His largest hive of bees swarmed upon a huge apple tree, just back of his hut. Fearing that they would escape, he climbed the tree adistance of twenty-five feet, whence he fell to the ground, stirring up the bees in his descent. The bees followed him down, and completely covered him in their anger, stinging him hundreds of times. With one leg broken, the oago torn from his face, and too weak to flght the insects. he was practically at their mercy. They literally stung the old man to death. When he was found the bees still swarmed upon his body, which presentea a pitlable sight. ©0 Death. ited® wis de- k A Traveling Island. Sable island is being submerged and is traveling eastward atsuch a rate that any chart of it, to be accurate, would need to be corrected every few years. says an exchange. It is safe to that the latest chart obtainable by mariners is some miles, at least, out of the way. Since the heginning of the present cei- tury the island has decr d in length from forty mules to twenty-two; in breadth, from two and one-fourth to gomething less than one; in height, from 200 feet to eighty, while there has been a variation in the position of the west end of not less than twenty-five miles. With such startling figures as these before us it is hard to forecast its future. Slowly, perhaps, and none the less surely, and defying all attempts or devices of feeble man to stay its ad- vances, the time is rnmin;: when the vietorious waves will fling their trium- hant spray over the last vestige of dry I’ nd, and the lights of Sable island will nolnngar send their warning gleams across the fatal sands, that mlf then far more than ever merit the sorrow laden title of **An Ocean Graveyard,” A Mean Predicament, A singular case of disputed identisy is reported from East Saginaw, Mich, A horse car conductor in that city, iv is related, was met by a young lady sev- eral woeks ago who nccosted him as her brother, and has since insisted that he is her brother, that he disappeared from his home near Harrison two years ago, and that the family had mourned ever since over his departure. The father, mother and brotherof the young lady were brought to this city and ldenmh)d the conductor as Henry Schaeffer, but he denied all knowledge of them, states that he was born in Sag- inaw, and never before saw the alleged relatives. A Freak From the Blizzard. A fow days ago, a singular relic of the blizzard was found in the garden of Gil- bert Clow, of Coeymans, N. Y. This was nothing more nor less than the head and forepart of a rabbit, which was attached to the limb of a 2. The other half of the body, with the excep- tion of one shriveled leg, had disap- red, The inference is that the rab- it was blown up into the tree, snowed upon and frozen fast. When the snow melted the head and front of the little animal remained, well preserved by the severe cold. . Born With One Ear Only. It is not considered wonderful by phy- sicians that in all the millions of human beings born into the world th should be occasionally some one who lack the usual members, says the New York Mail and Express. Their wonder is rather excited by the fact, that, except- ing in rare cases, the structure of each ~ one of the multitude is entirely similar 10 all the rest. The lay mind, however, ~ is liable to surprise on learning of such acase a8 the one receutly reported, 'Noh was that of the birth of a healthy, .nd rnmm-kubl rreu., and uhlld agirl, ho perfectly ad in every reupuu save that she )uanly one ear, She is the four-months-old-daughter Mrs. Mureay, of Na. 249 Waverly , and is the only child of the fa 'rho father is a wewmber of the five » «vnm .m mflm\mm Wm ki depariment. The left side of the rhnd s head is smooth, with only a slight pro- tuberance where the ‘ear would be looked for. This as if a pea were under the skin, Dr. John A. Burke, of 152 West Elev- enth street, who attended the mother in her confinement, says that he has consulted several other surgeons in ref- erence to the advisability of performing an operation to expose the drum of the ear, but that he Jins hy no means de- mined that it is best to nu. mp) it. are three cases only of # o reported in the pooks, all of om having occurred within the past years. In each of these cases it stipposed, as it is in th present instance, that the internal or- ganization of the ear was normal and if an opening should be made to expose the drum the would be no difficulty in making the child hear. In the previous es the operations have been prima ily successful, the hearing being cléared for o time of obstruction. The trouble has come later in the difficulty of keeping the aperture open, as nature at once starts to close it up with a cicatricial tissue. It is, of course, pos- sible to introduce atube which shall prevent this, but the expedient has not been tried and is deemed of unques- tionable value. Dr. Burke says that he does not know whether the child’s parents will desire or consent to have such an operation performed, even if he shall d ater on that it would be advisable. all events he would not think of per- forming 1t until the child shall be a little older, and he would not perform it at this time of the year. It will be time enough, he says, to decide in the fall. This Takes the Prize, A strange phenomenon has just been discovered four or five miles from Sara- toga, on the farm of John L. Slatchen- burger, near the old *Pigeon IRoost.” About two weeks ago Mrs. Sarah Langs- ton, colored, gave birth to a le child that surpas 11 _monstrosities in the human family. This baby, which is alive and well, has two perfectly formed faces, backing each other. It frequently eries with one face, while the other is sober or laughing. Both faces ave per- fectly formed in all their tures and functions, there heing two mouths, two noses and four eyes. The throats ap- pear to join or ran into one just below the Adam'sapp he freak has only one arm, but three legs, the extra limb sticking back like a kangaroo’s tail,and serving asa prop when the baby is placed on its feet. At birth the thing weighed three pounds, but now weighs eighteen. It can take nouishment with either mouth or both at the same time from two nurses. The mother is a large, masculine-looking woman. She cannot explain the cause of the strange deform- ity of her child. A Strange Creature. In going over my plantation a few d correspondent of Argus.

Another wreck deserves attention because of its bearing upon a problem now deeply interesting senfarers the world over, It happened in 1846, and Superintendent Darby is our authority, Scribners. A wild gale had sud- ly sprung up, and he and his men were patrolling the beach, when they deseried @ large schooner running right down before the storm dead on to the lee shore. The sea was breaking everywhere as far as th could yeach, and it s2emed impo; for any vessel to live in it for a momient; yet on the schooner came, passing aker after breaker ullillj\ll'\?ll‘ the extraor- dinary thing being that, although the huge waves raised their curled heads almost to the top of her masts, and the fall of any of themupon her deck would have crushed her like an eggshell, not one seemed permitted to touch her. On the contrary, as if by a miracle, the sea became smooth ere ‘it reached her, and she left a shining track behind, After some minutes of thrilling suspense she was hurled high and dryupon the beach, and every one of her crew rescued un- injured. Then came the explanation of the strange phenomenon which had so mys- tified Superintendent Darby. Two large casks filled with fish oil had been lushod in the fore-rigging, and securely lashed beside them, two of the strongest sail- ovs in the crew,with long wooden ladles in hand, had been throwing the oil high up in the air, where 1t was caught b, the wind and carried far too leeward i advance of the vessel, spreading over the sea with such eflect that, whileit was raging, pitehing and breaking all about he not a barrel of water fell upon the Arno’s decl believe this may with safety be claimed as one of th rliest recorded instances of the practical application of oil to the troubled waters. Lightning's Freaks. While Mr. and Mrs, Bigham, of Flor- ence, S.C.,were sitting,in company with'the lutter’s little sister; in one of the rooms of their residence, lightning struck the east end of the house, de- molishing that vart of the structure en- g Mr. Bigham on the head and runuing down his right side, tearing the shoe entirely from his foot. fe was thrown about six feet into the centre of the room, and both were covered with the falling timbers and seriously bruised. The sister who was not hurt or even shocked, removed the timbers from themw and went for assist- ance. Mr. Bigham wasthought to have been fatally injured, as he did not spe uk for ten hours after the shock, and arms were paralyzed, but at luluo- counts he and hiyx vnle hml recovered to some extent. One Woman's Work. An Atlanta Constitution speeial from Cedartown (Ga.) says: Mary Jane Christain, a white woman twent Vi years old, was d recent a cabin on Mr. s farm near Fish, in this coun Messrs, W, Free- man and Tom Clements, under a war- rant for murder from Walker county, Ala.. charged with killing her infant child, It is also said that she gave away another child to Mr. Davis, u( Ragland, Ala., and a Jetter preceede her her g that she had |m|h'n] five men om their wives.

A fow ago the new bishop of Waitzen, in - Hungary, was sitting at dinner in his own house with seven friends, when all atonce a small dog belonging to him ran up and, seizing the tail of his coat, tried to pull him toward his bedroom door, which opencd into the dining-room. = At first he drove the animal whined piteously, and vised him' 10 86 Wt it wantad, bedroom door was throw the light from the dining-room the bishop and his friends discovered a man hidden under the bed armed with a large knife.

J., who was engaged in sinking piling in the sand for founda- tions for bath houses below the excur- sion distriet, concluded, as he was wet up to the waist, that he would take a bath in the ocean. The ocean was very calm, and he had entered it when something pped about him like n wet blanket. He was close to the shore and got there very ly. He rushed into a saloon and was horrified to find that the thing was alive. It held quired three men , who is stop- pronounced 1t t is vul- ping at a hotel near by, ‘ratheus, As the passeng in was speeding along below Seville, Ga., a day or two ago, the engineer was not a little sur- prised to see a beautitul herd of seven deer run out of the swamp near by and mount the track just ahead of him. The engineer blew fns whistle, but_in- stead of leaving the track the deer started down the road ahead of the lo- comotive. The track was straightas an arrow for ten miles, and a desi for a race with the fleet-footed den the forest was irresistible. For or more the race was kept up, during which time the locomotive gained steadily, when suddenly the herd darted from the track into the woods.
