Nine Car Leads of Catik Fail Sixty
Feet.
tetribletacoident cecured on the
Grand trunk, at Highland Creek bridge,
aardle west of Port Union, at 6:4'6 Sun-
day eveuing 27th ult. A special cattle
train consisting of twelve oars, and a car
load of sheep, all belonging to Mr
William Kelly, a large dealer, were '
thrown off tae traek by d "arakeu wheel.
Nine of the cars rolled to elate bottom of
the almost pefpenAicillir enabankment,
which is sixty feet high. The sight
immediately after the aocident, was a
fearful one. Most of the cattle cars
were standing °a end, and the poor
• iraals which were Crushed *laded
were bellowitig piteously. No tmme-
diate means of relief could be afforded,
set the men were afraid to move the
bottom cars lest those on top should fall
and crush there. Several hours elapsed
before an auxiliary train from Toronto
arrived, when a number of men set to
work to break open the top cars, After
that was done the tail rope of the en-
gine was attached to the poor beasts
and they were dragged, out. It was a
fearful proceeding, for the animals
which had been initired by the fall were
terribly lacerated by being dragged out
in this manner. The dead animals
were laid on the grass near the scene of
the accident, and the injured ones were
drawn away a considerable distance.
Out of the nine carloads, which com-
prised 162 cattle, 100 were killed, and a
number died during the night. Several.

Toronto butchers were taken down to
Port Union Sunday evening with a
iiiew of purchasieg the injured animals.
The cars .were badly wrecked, and con-
siderable damage was done to the track.
The oar containing sheep did not fall to
the bottom of the embankment, and
little damage was done to either the an-
imals or the car. Freight trafac was
badly delayed by the accident. When
the accident -occurred William Terry, -a
brakeman, was running along the top
of the train. When he felt the car on
which he was running going over the
embarkment he leaped for his life, and
succeeded in clearing the wreck. Al-.
though badly shaken, up, he was un-
injured. There is scaroely a worse point
on the whole line for sucli an accident
to occur.

Ancient Tables.
The Greek lady of leisure in Athens
employed herself at the spinning wheel
and had. little need of a table, and beau-
tiful in design and form as all Greek
furniture was, one striking natural
oharacteristic proclaimed itself in the
furnishing of their homes.
They never had that for which they
couid find no practical use; consequently
as the tables were only needed for the
purpose of meals, they appeared only at
these tircies,and were mere slabs of wood
which were brought in at the dinner
hour, and set down' loosely upon their
The meal over, the tables vanished
with the empty plates.
In Honaeric Avg, each person had a
separate table, and it was only when
luxury crept in that at larger table for
the men became common, while the
WOMen dined at separate ones.
Then the custom of lounging on
couehee, the elbows resting on the
table, became usual, and the ladies
were expected to sit while their lord
assumed the most comfortable attitude
they could find.
Even then, however, the table played -
so entirely a subordinate part thea
never read of it as being of handsome
material, or indeed as being of any im-
portance at all, except to groan under
the food, which was of the most luxur-
ions description. -
Die Romans, on the contrary, held
their tables in the highest estimation;
they even made collecttone of them.
Seneca possessed four hundrea small
ones.
It is curious to trace in the accounts
old writers give us of Roman luxury, in
this respect, a sort of likeness to taste of_
modern days.
No article of furniture in the Roman
house cost so much as the table. Those
with one foot or -pedestal brought enor-
mous prices.
Pliny says that tables were broaight in,
the first instance from the East, and
were called orbes, not because they
were round, but because they we're
massive plates of wood cut from the
trunk of a tree in its whole diameter.
Yet, oddly enouglewe hear vety little of
tables in the East or in ancient his-
tory.
Moses made a table for the Taber -
trade, as it was something uncommon
upon which to lay the show bread.
Philo Juatens deecribes it as having
been two cubits long and one half cubit
high,and dwells upon it AB a retnarkable
piece of furniture.
Fashionable tables in the luxurious
Roman baffles were called "Monepedia,"
and were made of a massive plate of
wood, resting upon a column of ivory.
Such tables were enormously ex-
pensive, and according to Pliny, =the
wood was brought from Mauritata,
and cat from the trunk of the citrus
tree.
Some of the pieoes of wood were four
feet in diameter, and the ivory
column which supported them was ex-
tremely massive. They were polished
and covered with thick cloth, made
generally of coarse linen, the first indi-
cation we meet -with of theanodern table
cloth.
Cicero had just such a table for
which he paid the enormous sum of
one million sesterces. Jast as to-
day the handsomest walnut tables
are those made of wood cut from the
trunk nearest the roots, so in the
days of Roman magnifience highest
prices were paid for the tables made
from the last cut of the citrus tree,
because the wood was dappled and
marked.

La curious and omewhat romantic
case involving a case of identity, ldas re-
cently come before the Ohio courts for
adjudication. Thirty years ago James
Woodbridge and hie wife were rediding
in Mount Vernon, 0., and though.abnn-
dantly blessed with worldly goods were
childless. They therefore determined
td adopt the illegitimate child of a wo-
man living in a neighboring village.
The transaction was effected and the
Vdoodbridges promi ed to reaa and edu-
cate the child as there own, and upon
their death to make it their sole heir.
The mother, on her part, was to give up
all claim upon the girl, and especially
was never to inform her as to her true
parentage. The conditions of this con-
tract werecarried out on both sides.
Tae little girl grew to maturity *without
a !suspicion of her real origin. In 1870
married. Dr. Swan, and still the
s ,cret was kept. Four years later
Woodbridge died at Beaver Dam, Wid•
cousin, and. then his widow told Mrs.
Satan that she wasonly an adopted child.
Mrs. Woodbridge took possession of her
husband's estate, valued at $50,000, and
at -her death willed it to her brother, R.
W. Shannen of Tiffin, 0. The Swans
having visited Mount Vernon and learn-
ed the true 'facts of the case and of
the agreement _made at the time of the
adoption, have brought suit to recover
tae whole estate.
