Capture Of a lynx in BIcIJ IiousIn
Il County, Hi.
From the Macomb (III } EsgIe, Jan. 12.l


One of the most remarkable geological
eVents,in hehistoFy ofour, county .sinceits
occupation and SETTLEMENT by the whitesip
1881, Is the capture Of q genuine NORTH
American slynx ON Monday last, q iby tMn.i
Evan Rogers near his farm, seven miles
lnorthWcst OF this city, Mr.. Rogers, cele-,
brated Kentucky hunting hound was recon-
noiteringithe wodds adjacent to Ills resi-
dence, about 8 o'clock oBlast Monday after,
noon, and from the continuous bpwlipgand
yelping Of the dog, Mr.. Rogers was induced
to shoulder his gun and go to thedog.h on
afrivlngat,a sturdy oak, only. half amile
from his house, he found his dog iutently
and ,anxously gazingto the top OF, the hinge
tree, as II an unusual-siZed animal was COM
nanding bis attention.. Mr.. Rogers looked
up, and great was his 'Astonishmeut0 0wheni
he observed a. remarkable-lOOking animal
in the top of the tree, and fifty feet above
ground. The attention of the lynx was al
together directed to the dog, until Mr.
Rogers made a noise inthe brushs where's
upon the animal turned his head, and, dis
covering the hunter, soon turned his, i'm
mense body onthe limb, and reversed the
hair on his back, evidently desiring to man
ifest a displeasure at seeing "huntera Of
Kentucky and thereby evinGing no small
degree OF native pluck. Mr.. Rogers, with
but little ceremony, levelled his gun, and
took . h...,'. .ylla9.i,--tSS1Y t-f'tf
ID Deadly aim towards thelynx's head, 80 Z bss-lT
And, oh ! It was pleasing sight to see the great.
big, savage and ugiy-loOking animal drop down
to the ground almost stone dead. ."1va- s. s--'s1l
Mr.. Rogers was assisted by Messrs. Mitch.
ell ami Russell, who inform us they were
agreeably surprised to find it ''past kicking
or scratching" when it reached the ground
On Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. Rogers
brought the lynx. to the Eagle Office. Be-
ing satisfied the animal was dead, we ap-
preached it. opened its mouth, felt its claws,
and pulled its ears in rough fashion. 1t
measures from the hind to fore feet, six feet
two inches, and stands over two feethigh.
1t is indeed a savage looking customer, and
its captors, no doubt, thought itas big as an
OK in the tree top Its head resembles and
is about the size of a large tiger; its legs
are as large as the body of a rabbit, and its
tail short and dumpy. Upon the tips of
each ear are TUFTS of stiff, black hair, two
inches long, which stand upward, as sort
of Ornamentality or gewgaw Of animal
nature. Both sides of its jaws are orna-
mepted with something like profuse "side
whiskers," which appear to be nearly UP
to the latest wrinkle of the barber's cut
Itslclaws are about two inches long, and
teeth about one inch. Its hair was of q,
mixed light gray and yellow, with the ex-
ception Of the black tufts on the ear-tips.
Its weight would, perhaps, exceed rs
pounds. L5,gH0uHE -E8.. .l gashi.NTl

European RAILWAY Tariffs.

lrTOu lue DClouJllC hueTlChnl
1t appears from a report prepared for the
British royal commission ON railways, on
comparison of the fares charged per 100
miles on the railways of the principal Eu-
ropean states, that the average rates OF
Great Britain and Ireland for first, second
or thirI class cars, are greater than on
either of the continental lines. ,3r' ~
I IRzthe stirSt-class' carriages travelling is
cheapest in Bavaria, where the fare is but
$2.25 per 100 miles. This is nearly one dol
lar less than the average tirst-class tariff In
the Is countries mentioned. Other. states
that charge below theaverage, are Prussia,
the Rhine, Sweden,, Belgium, Wirtemberg,
Denmark; SaXony,r Switzerland and Portu-
gal; while Russia, Norway, Spain, AUS
tria. Italy, Holland, Frances and Great Britt
ain exceed it,. NJ In the last named kingdom
the excess nearly equals the average, the
rate being S462 per 100 miles. .E9'sI. Z.
/ Travelling in second-elass cars is cheapest
in Wirtemberg, being 1855 cents per mile;
the English charging nearly four times
that amount for the same distance. The
average is 2.33 cents-the list OF countries
exceeding, and those falling short, being,
with few exceptions, the same as OF the
ffrst-class carriages. tjaq.feyI ,
The fares in Jhe third-class cars range
from 75 cents per hundred miles, in Russia,
to 81 for the same distance in the united
Kingdom; the average is $l.50. gt ..,I 9.
In the report, Prussia, Sweden, Italy and
England are noted as having express trains,
for first and second-class carriages only.
Travelling on these trains is enjoyed at an
additional expense of two English shillings
over the regular fares. 1t should be stated
concerning these countries where charges
are so low, that if the roads do not actually
belong to the state. the Shareholders receive
considerable government assistance, in
consideration of their being obliged to
apopt a low tariff. :..fr7af fEg.. -

American Jockey Club Skating
J -.r st HSnflx -.tEI 1rl' NJ

The American Jockey Club have recently
opened a new skating park on the Jerome
race track at Fordham, and the Ne,o York
World gives the following account of the
inauguration ceremonies which took place
on Tuesday last: eat two O'Clock hand
some sleigh, drawn by twin donkeys, gaily
caparisoned, was led on the ice. Mr.. Je-
rome placed himself, In advance, and the
donkeys, bearing a precious freight. of
beauty in the sleigh, followed; Behind, a
number Of chairs were attached, each with
a lady occupant, and the rear guard was
brought up by,a heightened train of en-
thusiastic skaters. This novel procession
marched, to the music of Dodsworth's
band, several times round the pond. Once
or twice the animals of the long ears be-
came somewhat intractable. They .trotted,
however, to the tune of Pat Malloy,' and
fairly ,galloped to the original melody Of
i Yankee Doodle.' Thus was the pond i'm
augurated with fun and iolity, and thus it
is hoped that mirth and amusement may
reign there during the entire season. A
lunch, agreeable to all after the .appetizing
SPORT was laid at half-past two O'clock, and
tor some time nothing was heard but the
clatter of knives and forks, the popping Of
champagne corks, and the subdued MUIR
mur of whispered ,dattery that sounded
sweetly to the ear. The inner man was
being attended to, and that with a will ali

Weregret to be compelled to give a brief
detail of fiery visitation aud the destruc-
tion of one of the business corners Of aoufi
town. On Tuesday morning. at abOnt twOs
olcloeky,the people, were startled from their
slumbers by the alarm of fire, which was
discovered issuing from the back part of thee
second story of Hollis block kg0oceupiedab
that firm as hardware, stove and tim
store. All attempts, without an engine, to
stop the fire were Soon found to be futile.
Itsoon ienvelopedthe whole building,in one,a
immense) blaze. The adjoining, building,s
belonging to William Schmick, Esq,, and.
occupied by Schmick & Linn for dry goods
and groceries, was soon completely in
volved in the mass of burning buildingR.--t
The residence of Mr.. r. s., Hollis, loWned
by Mrs. Flack), then followed. and was
speedily consumed Aportlon Of ofthegoodsi
of StradfOrd q Co. were saved, and the
most of those of Schmick & Linn, but all.
more or less In damaged condition; while
the entire stock Of the Hellis Brothers wasl
consumed. By most extraordinary .exeES
tions, the residence of H. II. Edsall, on the
south, and a remaining building Of Mrs.
Flack on the west, were saved from flIaii
fire, but greatly damaged by water and the
necessary labor bestowed upon them. Had
these buildings been fairly seized by the
fiery element, the destructiOnhandir ruin that
would have followed In both dreGtiOns,f
Cannot be estimated. A heavy falling or,
snow provldentially aided In allaying the.
heat. The promptness and industry Of our
citizens, of both sexes, with but few .ex-
ceptions, is highly commendable, and ac-
complished much in resculng properly aud
stemmlng the tide OF flame that at one
time threatened all theRdjoining buildings

HOGs.--The wet weather, together with the
very unfavorable advices from New York, had
q very depressing effect on the hog market this

extremes of the Notwithstanding a decline of
