A WOLF CHASE.

Mr.. Samuel King, at present residetn
of Pennsylvania, but formerly of one of the
mountainous regions of New York, relates
an adventure he once had with wolf.
At the time | speak of Che says, wolves
had become rather scarce, and what there
were, were pretty knowing and shy, and
had their retreats among the rocks and
caves of the highest and steepest noun
tains, where it was next to impossible for
any one to get at them, and from whence
they sailed forth at night to commit their
depredatons upon the various focks of
sheep in their vicinity. Besides the temp
tation to hunt these few for the mere sport
of the thing, there was fair bounty per
head from the authorities, which the suf-
fering farmers increased to an amount
which made it an object to all classes; and
from that time, for several years, these
troublesome beasts were gradually thinned
out, till only one remained in that section.
But this was terrible, cunning old
fellow, and by being everywhere in his
work of destruction, he seemed to amount
to half-a-dozen at least. There was not a
farmer within circuit of hundred miles
that had not been loser by him, and on
some farms as many as fifty sheep had
been destroyed in single winter. OF
course, the feeling against him was vim
dictive in the extreme, and after the fail
ure of several hunting parties to kill him,
a fund of two hundred dollars was raised
for his scalp.
So far, | had not had any hand in the
matter, beyond putting down my name for
my share of the amount; but at length |
resolved to try my skill, which, without
any undue vanity, | may say, was not
considered inferior to any in that section.
A neighbor Of mine, named Parker, who
owned some very good dogs, and was al
ways ready for sport, agreed to accompa-
f. ny me on what we both believed would be

made known to his minister his state of
mind. At his request he visited him, on
this subject. early in September, and
found his mind very tender, indeed anx-
ious. In experimental godliness he firm
ly believed but such was not his expert
ence. Twice he sent for him ere his last
sickness, as if he had premonition Of ap-
preaching death. Religion seemed the
one thing needful, but how was he to OBJ
tain it? He was pointed to the Lamb of
God who taketh away the sin of the world.
Immediately on being taken down by
his last sickness, he gave himself wholly
to preparation for whatever event await
ed him. After several brief interviews
with the writer, mainly in prayer, he ex-
pressed hope iu Christ This seemed
to strengthen to the last. AS public ex-
preston of this hope, he received the rite
of Christian baptism, on the morning of
the 3Oth November. He died, apparently
in the full assurance of faith, about ten
o'clock on the evening of December 3d.
To his devoted wife and affectionate
children it is deep comfort that, since
so great a calamity must befall them, he
was blessed with his reason throughout
his entire sickness, and, most of all, that
he died in the hope of a happy life be.

We stuck our torches in some crevices

Going up to the hole, he ordered the dogs
to keep quiet; and then, taking a delib-

clubbing his rile. A ferocious yell fol-
lowed, and the next moment the angry
and frightened wolf sprang out into the
light, and was instantly seized by the
waiting dogs. Before he could disengage
himself from them, ran up, thrust the
muzzle of my piece within a few inches OF
his head, and lodged the contents in his
brain, killing him at once.

CLOSING LINEN.-Inquiry is frequent
ly made respecting the mode of puttinga
gloss on linen collars and shirt bosoms,
like that on new linen This gloss, or en-.
amel, as it is sometimes called, is procur-
ed mainly by friction with warm iron,,
and may be put on linen by almost any
person. The linen to be glaze receives as
much starch as it is possible to charge il
with, then it is dried. To each pound of
starch piece Of sperm, paraffine, or white
wax about the size of walnut, is usually
added. When ready to be ironed, the
linen is laid upon the table and moistened
slightly on the surface with clean wet
cloth. 1t is then ironed in the usual way
with hat-iron, and is ready for the
CLOSING operation. For this purpose q
peculiar heavy fat-iron rounded at the,
bottom and polished as bright as mirror,
is used. 1t is pressed firmly upon the
linen and rubbed with much force, and
this frictional action puts on the gloss.

DIR. MEIGS.

Mr. EDITOR The following was the
conclusion of the sermon preached at the
funeral of JOHN MEIGs, M. D., of Johnson,
on the 9TH Dec. inst
The deceased, Dr. MEIGs, was the son
of John Meigs M. d., of Lyndon in this
State His father and paternal grand
father were physicians. His mothers
name was Abigail Weeks.
ur. Meigs, our beloved physician, was
born at Lyndon, July 18th, 1906, and was
at his death consequently, Sc years of age.
That he was carefully and correctly
brought up was apparent to those ac-
quainted with his private life. Where he
received his academical education | am
not informed, but judge from his general
culture that it must have been thorough
He studied his profession with Dr. Spaul-
ding of his native town, and attended med
lcal lectures at the University Of Ver-
mont. He graduated in the fall of 1929,
and received his Degree of Doctor of Med
icine from the hands of President Marsh.
He settled in this town Immediately on
graduating, and here he has resided, ex-
cept few years spent in Boston, ever
since,-always valuable physician, and
for quite portion of the time the chief
one. His practice seemed to be extend
ing from year to year as the people of the
country became better acquainted with
him.
He was married, Oct. 9th, 1882, to Miss
Laura Waterman, daughter of Hon. Thom-
as Watermen, of this place. Thirty years,
therefore of welded life have blessed that
union, which now is dissolved.
DIR. Meigs was a man Of many excellent
qualities, and some defects. He, could he
be consulted, would require this latter
statment He was possessed of much sensi-
bility, think more than any physician |
have known. Itshowed itself everywhere,
but especially at the sick-bed Of his patient.
1t was probably owing, at least in part,
to this, that he mingled so little with men.
There was dignity of manner and an
urbanity Of address in him, that made his
society to men of taste very agreeable.
Though gentle father, his children
greatly respected and affectionately obey.
ed him. He was respecter of the Chris.
tian religion, and, though having pref.
erence among the denominations, he was
kind to all our religious societies. 1t is
an expressive, illustration Of this, that
for all the services he ever rendered to the
persons and the families of the ministers
Of religion, he always refused all compen
sation, even for his medicine. Most sin
cerely can they witness to his faithfulnes'
and generosity, Some change has beer
observed latterly, by his intimate acquain

religion. 1t was last summer he frs

Existence was a luxury.

To give the dove on earth no nest
No worldly prop on which to rest.
That to the Ark it might return.

A solitary truth, though stern.

By those who take down from its throne
Their idol, with bitter groan.

Made hollow by the flames of woe,

With freedoms host, who in their might
Were bravely going forth to fight.
The only words my lips could form
From out emotions raging storm,
While waiting for the cars that morn
"God help us both !" and turned away,
And sought my home: | could not stay,
And see my idol borne away.
God gave me strength to give him up;
My lips could not have pressed the cup
Had he not held my weak hands up.

The earth is but grave to me;
Beneath the soil of Tennessee,
One of the price of victory,
He sleeps and to my God alone,
The anguish of my soul is known;
Love, hope, the last of earth Is gone.
Yet, looking upward, through my tears,
Duty's approving form appears
She whispers, in a few more years,
Thy God will give thee back thy loan,
In that bright land where ne'er is known
The clash of arms, the trumpet's tone.
For he whom Duty writes "well done"
On life's stern battlefield, hath won
A joy more lasting than the sun.

ExPLAINED.-The Cincinnati Enquirer,

Of Sunday last, contains the following:
7Uo organizations in favor of the
war and its prosecution cannot be kept
up They are clearly unnecessary. A
contest between two factions, each in fa-
vor substantially of the same policy, is
ridiculous
This is more candid avowal than we
had any reason to expect. 1t is the rea-
son, in nuce. as Mr. Carlyle would say, of
the whole Battternut movement. The
Louisville Democrat was strong Union
paper, until it found that, by persever-
ing in that course, it would be playing
second fiddle to the Joarnql The same
is true of the Cincinnati Enquirer 1t
would have been for the vigorous prose
cution of the war, had not the other pa
pers of that city taken that course and
over-shado~ed it BY opposing the war
it enlisted all the rebel sympathizers in
its support and largely increased its cir
culation and profits It's proprietors
would sacrifice the country to put money
into their own pockets. Perhaps, how
ever, they have seen from the start, that
their efforts would amount to nothing
and they laugh in their sleeves, while
they pocket the hard earned savings of
their dupes

FILLING Up THE ARMY.-The Vallan-
dlgham press, with singular unanimity,
are now calling on the Union men Of
Ohio to volunteer and fill up the ranks
of the army. Do they think their oppo-
nents ought to furnish all the soldiers? :?
1t will be seen that about ninety-eight out
of every one hundred now in the service
are Union men. The Vallandigham
men compose about three-eights of the
home vote. Ought they not to furnish
more than one tftieth of the army?
Or do they, like their representative,
Grifiths, confess that they " have no in
terest in the fght?" Let them fill up
their three-ffths of the army, before they
call on Union men to do any more If
Lieut.. Gov. Pugh could summon 100000
Democrats to inaugurate civil war in
Ohio, can he not furnish one-ffth that
number to fight back rebel mies?- To-
