going the rounds: A Boston lady bought a

hair. She was happy as she thought of the
envy with which all her rivals would gaze
upon the bcspungled, frizzlcd and perfumed
thing—all “ her own hair“ (she had paid for
it). But as soon as she hat “ adjusted” the
capillary appendage she felt a choking sen-
sntim shoot the throat, and the some un-
plumm c\pcriencc followed each swessive
experiment. At last, with the assistance of
I medium. the mystery was solved: The
hnil' had been cut from the head of a wonnm
who was about to ix: hung, the lmngman
thus not only getting her " on a string," but
getting her “ where her hair was short ;"
and the spirit of the victim. with true wo—

future proprietor of its trcsses. All ladies

Q’ We hope the reports “are not true that
there is less than ten days' supply of coal in
New York and Brooklyn, with no prospect
of any settlement of the quarrel at the
mines That any class of men should get
so complete control of the production of
this indispensible article of comfort that the
health and lives of a whole nation are de-
pendent upon their capricc seems appalling.
Yet this has been the case for years. All
m of rumors distract the public mind:
That the miners in thc Schuylkill region are
about to vield ; that only the German miners,
small minority of the whole, are Willing
to submit : that there will be In resumption
of work for twu weeks, or possibly two
months; that the employers are determined
not to compromise, and the workmen are
cqunlly desperate ahd decided; and mean-
while coal is going up from thirteen to four-
teen dollars and still rising. God help the
poor.
[3" A great deal is said in the uewspm
pers of the courage of Doc. Simmons, the
engineer who was killed in the late Hudson
River Railroad disaster: and the public
seem inclined to cannonizc him for his brav-
ery, in staying aboard his engine after he
huddone everything in his power to stop
the train. We would say nothing dispar-
aging of the dead, and especially of one of
those noble men who through sunshine and
tempest, through the long summer days and
the weary winter nights, by their sleepless
vigilance and unbending self-contml, pio-
neer thousands of their fellow men safely
through countless perils ; but we see nothing
in the conduct of Simmons to lead us to be
lieve him to be a man of superior fortitude
insight of death. There is hardly an en-
gineer on any of our thoroughfares who has
not sometime been placed in a position of
equal apparent peril. without flinching or
leaving his post; indeed the course which
he pursued of “ squatting” behind the boiler
is generally considered safer than to jump to
the ground, and we have too good an opin-
ion Simmons to believe he would reck—
lessly throw his life away.

that it is his opinion of momyand hu-

of his cattle ready for sale in the spring.
He is a well read man, and goverqs his wife
by a stamp of the foot and a fierce express-
ion of countenance. In the vicinity of his
barn are numerous skeletons of animals
that have died under his “ care.” He feeds
his cattle 'only refuse straw, and some of
his cows are almost certain to die. One of
his horses is now in slings, but may recover
on account of extra food, as we understand
he has recently purchased a hundred weight
of feed. He thinks cold weather toughens
cattle, and for that reason they require less
food in the winter; and he has removed his
stable door, lost by any chance it should be!
closed in his absence; and his cattle roam
about the street and in his neighbors‘ gar-
dens. Hc has not time to repair his harness,
and his life is frequently jeopardized by ac-

uses him illy, and his friends are constantly
troubled to settle his little diflculties with
his neighbors If we have a Bergh in the

with our Division for conduct unbecoming

of the articles alluded to, his statements may
be correct, as he may have sources of infor-
mation not accessible to common folks. At
the some time it is but fair to say that there
has been no order called the Temple of
Honor instituted here, and that there is no
division in the councils of Rising Star Di-
vision Sons of Temperance, and that the
existing temperance organization in this
place was never in a more flourishing con-
dition than at pment. A few unworthy
members have. been expelled, and the re—
mainder are true to each other and the cause.
We are happy to say that we have but one
liquor saloon in Five Mile River, and if that
depended on the patronage of the inhabi-
tants it would go higher than a kite. in u

until a gentleman informed. the people that
hewas ashamed totell hh frienbthathe
lived in a place called Five Mile River, and
it must be changed to Rowayton or he would
leave the place. The Rowaytownersso called,
drew up a petition begging and entreating
‘and praying him to stay, and promising that
all should be as he wished without any re
gard to the wishes of old inhabitants.
Strange to say, at their earnest solicitations
he finally consented to stay. Probably
if he had left at that time the trouble
would have ended there. {The people of
Five Mile River are not an obstinate people,
but were willing to change and did vote for
the pretty name of Riverside ; but owing to
the slackness of those that. appeared so
anxious another place was named and ac—
cepted.
Then the Rowayton party decided to have
the name Rowayton no matter how it was
gained. The first step was to get. a postoflicc.
They went around with a petition and se-
cured thirty-six names of men, then filling
up their petition with the names of babies
and non-resident, aunts and grandmothers.
They sent Mr. N. Colyer to Washington to
plead their cause. The. Five Mile River
party also circulated a petition on which
was enrolled one hundred and thirty—six
names, and all legal voters. They sent their
petition to Senator Ferry, who was then in
Washington, and was going to present it to
the Postmaster and make a fair statement of
the case. Mr. Colver found he had it; and
Senator Ferry wrote a letter saying Mr. C.
had been to him asking for the petition, as
the people had decide to have him take
both petitions and give to the Postmaster,
andlet him decide as he thought best. So
Senator Ferry gave it up to him in all confi-
dence. After Mr. C. succeeded with Mr.
Ferry he used our petition to his own advan-
tage, and the postofllce was named Roway—
ton. He reached home n19 o’clock on Sat
urtlay evening, and pointed the sign “ Ho
wavton Postofllce" which was put up at7
o‘clock Monday momin ,on the to of the
little grocery owned an kept by r. Mans-
field. This was done during his absence.
Upon seeing it, he desired to have it taken
down. but was told it was put there by
United States authority .d it must not
come down. Now. Mr. Editor, as you are
supposed to know almost evervthing, please
tell us how long it is since the Tnited States
government took it upon itself to name. lit-
tle villages and paint sign~bonrds and put
them up.
The mime of Rownyton seems to us to be
a very improper name to choose, owing to
its similarity to Norman which is only the
second station from us, and which has al-
