TAcouple of gentlemen travelling along
the slough road" about four miles from this
city, ON Friday last, were surprised to see deer
erass the road before them, evidently greatly ia
tigued 1t was closely followed by two black wolves,
oflarge size and ferocious appearance. By the in
reference Of the gentlemen the deer escaped and
the upne rascals cheated out of their expected
venison feast. 1t may seem strange to our eastern
readers that scene of this kind should be witnessed
90 near city of ten thousand inhabitants. Wolves
have infested the woods in this vicinity since
the settlement of the country, but deer, though
easionally seen, are not as numerous as formerly

THr PooR.-A correspondent in, o-day's
paper invites the attention of our citizens to plan
for raising the necessary means to relieve the sui
ferina poor in our midst. We heartily second his
susrestion that "social circle" be organized fol
this purpose, and hope that if it is adopted it will
meet the concurrence of all our benevolent citizens
Unless all will unite on plan, but little can be
accomplished. The "Dime Society" of last winter
was not as generally attended nor successful as
it should have been, though it accomplished much
good. Let US have some such organization as oul
correspondent suggests. As the season is far ad
vanced, this benevolent effort should be made al
once. ~ AZ
