SnleMeBMaltln-rfiraaa a Joke. ;
A telegram from Boston.. says:
Robert Stbison committed suicide
last week at ' West ' Stockbridge.
He was twenty-three years old,
and the son of ex Judge Stinson,
ot Norristown, Pa. He had spent
several "summers at West Stock
bridge, coming all the way on his
bicycle last - season! . Mr. Stinson
met Miss Clara Edwards, of West
Stockbridge, and the acquaintance
ripened into an engagement three
years ago. He was studying law
and hoped to. be admitted- to the
bar next spring. He started from
home a month ago on a visit to
West Stockbridge, stopping on the
way at Oswego, New .York, where
he officiated as best mau at the
wedding of a college friend. One
evening as he was rowing on the
lake with Miss Morrow, his friend's
sister, she Jokingly said that she
thought the young lady in Massa
chusetts bad better be informed of
his gallantry to the fair ones of
Oswego. He replied in the same
vein, and at once gave Miss Mor
row the address of Miss Edwards,
telling her that if she did not see
him the next day she had better
write at once. V
She did not see Stinson the day
following, so she wrote the letter.
Miss Edwards received it in due
time about a fortnight ago and was
greatly shocked to read that Sun
son had mysteriously disappeared,
and that his -Oswego friend felt
little reason to doubt that he had
been drowned in the lake. When
she. finished this sentence sho
8woomed and remained uncon
scious for some time. Her father
at once telegraphed for particulars
and in a few, hours there came a
dispatch which read :
'Bobert has returned and is alive
and well. It was all a joke." .
Stinson went to West i Stock-
bridge the uext Tuesday. While
there he heard so much about his
reported disappearance that he be
came morbid and for the first time
in his life took to drink, appearing
one evening in the presence of his
affianced intoxicated. He was so
shocked, upon recovering, at his
conduct that he at once purchased
a revolver and shot himself. A

It doesn't often happen that a
college commencement x nowadays
winds np with the flare of Hymen's
torch and the tinkling of wedding

way the curtain was rung down on

noon Thursday, Mr. Isaac Raymond

A. B. conferred upon him. He re
tained the bachelor part of the de
gree until midnight arrived, and
their he artfully cast it off and took
unto himself a wife. After the
society halls were deserted of the
promenaders and flirtation couples,
the lights turned down and the
air of a banquet hall deserted had
fallen upon the late scene of gaiety
Mr. Oeland, accompanied by a few
of bis young friends, repaired to
the residence of Eev. WJ P. Wil
liains, where the expectant bride.
Miss Annio Withers, of Davidson

citizen, in 18G5. Mr. Pannill was
found dead in his office. Upon ex

he had been shot, the' ball entering
his mouth and coming out at the
top of the head. A pistol was
found upon the floor near him, and
his door key ' was upon the table.

supposed to be a case of suicide
until Saturday last, when Goins'
daughter made a statement which
led to the issuance of the warrant.
It seems that Goins was formeily
owned by, Mr. Pannill. and having
been thoroughly chastised for some
rascality swore that he would kill
Lis master. The story goes that
he made a key to fit the office door,
and that one autumu afternoon, in
1865, he entered the room, where
Mr. Pannill was standing with his
back to the door. He (Goins) took
np a pistol from the table, and as
Mr. Pannill turned to face him he
fired, the ball taking effect as above
stated. . He then placed the door

the second place he will show that

modest hint i to the minister that
he has about preached long enough

Fifthly, it will show what estimate
that man! puts ou the message of

about four hours. His 'defense of
Johnson is regarded as simply won
derful. He presented every point
with great clearness and force, go
ing carefully over the details ot the
evidence. In 1 making his appeal
to the jury the pictures he drew
were full of pathos. The vast
crowd was still as death except;
when disturbed by the sobs of some
of the auditors. The jurors broke
down and wept like children, while

Fralt Eaters Need no Doctor.
I tfcnral Now Yorker. ' ;
We were strnck recently by vthe
remarks of a doctor friend ot ours,
who said no 0110 thing will do so
much to make people independentof
the medical profession as the daily
free use of fruit. He had noticed
that those farmers in whose fami
lies fruit was largi ly and regularly
consumed, seldom needed h!s ser
vices. We thought what a pity
that every farmer could not be con
vi need of these truths. It is a de
plorable fact that farmers' families
do uot ienioy that, yobust health

with plenty of exercise should give.

It is the hardest! thing in the

that the more colors they put on
the better they look; and the result
is that when they see tueir photo

duced by the colors, they'll blame
the photographer, though we al

all persons look better in a picture
than in reality, except those hav

thing you may not know, and that
is very few ladies look well photo
