Sam Patch?His Remarkable Leap. ?Who has not heard of Sam Patch, his famous leap, and his tragic death ? Mwiy. persons imagine? that he was killed at Niagara. It was at Genessee Falls, however, near Rochester, New York. Some person has been interviewing the oldest inhabitants of that flourishing city, who saw the last leap nearly forty years ago. A staging had been erect ed a hundred feet above the boiling cauldron below. Amid the death-like stillness of thousands of eager spectators, the adventu? fafyR mn a few steps and gave one JVUO A UWW mmmmm _ _ leap into the air and fell cutting the mist like a lead sniker, two hundred feet iqto the seething whirlpool. Ah he left the staging his body assumed an oblique position, his head foremost, but above his feet. As he struck the water there was a dreadful silence, while the populace awaited with choking breath his reappearance. One minute?two minutes?three minutes?and no signs of the daring jumper. Then the people set up ? loud wail?a long murmur of sorrow. This was the end of Sam Patch. They say that he had been drinking during the morning, and failed to keep his feet together and hi? body perpendicular, as on previous occasions. So when he struck the water the breath left his body, and he was knocked senseless A month or so afterward they found his body away down below Rochester, drifted upon the rocks. What does happy moan ? A litte girl mid it was to feel as if you wanted to give all your things to your little sister. You T ? "?- Kir rnn should. smile, DOt 1 bcaroei j ore t.*aj j This Httlo girl felt that to be happy, she must be unselfish. She was right, And you know it. Did ycu ever feel happy when you had selfish feelings in your breast ? A yankee fanner who wished to invest the accumulation of his industry in United States securities went into a broker's office to obtain some "five twenties " The clerk inauired, "what denomination will you have sir ?" Having never heard that word excepting to distinguish the sects, the farmer, after a little hesitation, replied : "Well, you may give part in Old School Presbyterian to please the old lady; but give me the heft on't in Free-Will Baptist." * THE Carolina Fertilizer WILL BE SOLD AS FOLLOWS: Cash Price. $48 Per Ton of 2,000 lbs Tim?
