Fell from a Moving Train*.?As j the north-bound passenger train was: passing a point near Simpson's on j Sunday last, the fireman climbed over j the wood to the rear of the tender in j order to move the wood nearer the ! engine.

He j was not missed by Mr. Germany, the engineer, until he was near Rockton, when the train was stopped and an investigation made. The train was backed slowly until the fireman was discovered lying at the foot of the embankment apparently dead. He was picked up and it was found that he was still alive. Dr. It. B. Ilanahan was summoned to attend the wounded man as soon as the train reached "VVinnsboro, and found him painfully but not seriously hurt. His mind was wandering from the effect' of the fall, but it is thought that he will be all right in a short while. Deaths.?We were pained to learn on Saturday of the death of Mr. Thos. ? . itaoo, or., a uiguiy esiucuicu citizen of the Monticello section, which occurred on Friday about 3 o'clock, lie had been in failing health for some months.

"We join with a host of friends in mourning his death. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their loss. We are called upon to announce the death of the infant of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Huey after a few hours' illness on Friday last. The remains were interred in the church-yard of the A. R. P. Church on Saturday last, the Rev. J. T. Chalmers officiating in the funeral exercises.

Mr. Bryson was attending the State Fair at the lime of the fire, whtch was noticed by some of the citizens of town about one o'clock. Besides his dwelling, he loses a lot ot corn, fodder and other supplies made on the farm this year. Fortunately he had taken out a policy of insurance on Monday last $1,500.

At the age of 12 he was a crack shot, and there were few in this county who could beat him. This place was at that time little better than an unbroken wilderness, through which roamed thousands of boars. deer, panthere, and other wild animals. Mr. Kendall says he lias shot and killed over 3,600 deer, S7o bears, besides a niinv i->ur>f li^rc wHrlonfu. ana f>.:ita^ '""'V i""" mounts. The greater part of the hunting season is spent by Mr. Kendall in a small hut which he built for himself in the midst of the forest, he <roin? there :i.s soon :ts the law permits deer-hunting in the fall. lie had a remarkable scrimmage with a monster bear the other day in which he vanquished the beast, but received serious injuries himself.

He had captured his prizes and was retreading when he cncoutered an immense she bear, the mother of (he cubs who had scented the stranger. Before Mr. Kendall could place his rille to his shoulder the animal was upon hini, and, grasping him in its paws, gave him soeh a terrible squeeze that ho fainted. The bear, thinking him dead, released its grip. He fortunately regained his consciousness quickly, and while the bear was playing with he. cubs the plucky hunter drew his rile and shot it in the side* The bailed did not strike the animal's heart, ^nd as it aasneu mi ami ;ijam ^enauij. c;re\y his hunting-knife and with one; bold stroke nearly severed the bear's head from her body.

A Shark's Mistake and How He Rectified It. "Don't you do no foolin' with a shark," said a Barnegat fisherman as he crowded tooacco into nis pipe ioranotner smoKe. Sharks is an animal that knows more'a 70a think for. " A couple of years ago I took a party out after weakfish In the yacht Mary. She belongs to Capt. Small, "or did afore he died. We were anchored up in Bay No. 3, and the fish were biting like smoke, when all at once the school left us. I knowed that meant a shark and I looked around fur him. "Purty soon he came alongside and I up with a pole and gave him an awful jab in the back. You can't hurt a shark's bodv verv well, but his feelings are as tender as a child's. ' This fellow ran off a bit and then cocked his eye at me and took a good long squint. Then he ran around under i the stern to read the yacht's name, and wuen he went off he gave his tail a flirt which meant that he would call around and make it pleasant for me some other time. " Well, in the course of three or four days, Capt.Small got home and went out in the llary for sheephead. " He went up to No. 3 and cast anchor, and ihen sot down in his usual position ?his right leg hanging over the port quarter and his foot just touching the water. He hadn't been there ten minutes before along came a shark and cut that leg off below the knee as slick as a chopper could have done it. " The captain had skeercely realized his loss afore the fish came back with 1-.h? l(?rr rrivin'T himself n. hist, nnr? a. f.wrst I and the bloody meat -was flung back into the boat. "For why? Because tho shark had d iscovered that he had bit tho wrong man. lie was after me, and he had got Small. Ho had nothin' agin Small, and ho cheerfully brought back the leg when he discovered his mistake. " The captain ho died of the bite, but not before I had explained things, and the last thing ho said was that he forgave the shark." I? Nothing Mercenary about Her. "Ill keep thi3 diamond engagement ring," sh. e said in breaking the engagement.

" I keep It," she continued as she toyed \rith the gold band and its sparkling c-rtffinrr Ifc inf-.HnRifi value, but simply as a reminder of how big a flirt j a man can be."
