IN TIGHT PLACE.-The Berkshire
(Mass.) Eagle is responsible for this story:
A man in Beckett, while in the woods for
timber, had the misfortune to 'iodge'' a
tree, and in order te get it down hitched his
oxen to the butt and made them pull. The
tree fell into the fork of another ncar. by.
when the tops overbalancing, the other end
was Jerked twenty feet high into the air,
carrying the oxen with it, where they
remained suspended in imminent danger
OF being choked to death. Perceivinq the
tree to be very nearly poised, the man
attempted to drag them down by the tails.
but, one Of these falling, he had recourse
to fifteen foot pole, with which, by
reaching up to the tops, he could so raise
1t that the oxen's hind feet could touch
the ground, thus enabling them to catch
breath. Being unable to sustain the ton
for any length of time, he adopted The see
saw motion, causing the tree to vibrate
up and down often enough to Give his
cattle chance for air. He continued this
operation for hours before aid arrived He
then climbed up and out on the tree. cut off
a twelve foot log, which falling, released
the oxen, and he 'fsnaked" it home without
even unhItching.

DEATH OF \ MYSTERIOUS CHARA CrEF.
An old hermit, who has lived solitary
and alone for thirty-five years near Albion,
Michigan, was found dead in his hut a
few days since. a correspondent Of the
Chicago journal writes -..
''TEe greatest mystery has always sur
rounded him, though since his death the
following story has been circulated by
those who claim to know: 1t is said that
years ago he was wealthy merchant in
New York city, and was engaged to a
beautiful and accomplished young lady
but his brother, who was in business with
him, became his rival and secured the
hand of the lady in question, upon which
this man betook himself 10 the wilds of
Michigan, bought some land, built hut,
and here he lived in the utmost seclusion.
He raised his own produce. For clothing
he used nothing but cotton bags, which he
put on in every shape imaginable. In the
winter he wore neither boots nor shoes,
always going barefoot, and always slept
in his coffin, in which he was found dead. ="

AT Appleton, Wisconsin,, not long

AT Appleton, Wisconsin, not long
ago, att little past midnight, while spow
was falling fast, three bright flashes were
seen at a few minutes interval, followed
by heavy conclusions that made the
windows rattle and the houses jar through
out the city. Next morning there was
found in the snow dark substance,
visible for miles around, which proved to
be a fine, reddish sand. Those who
melted snow for washing or culinary
purposes, found this sand in such quanti-
ties as made the water unfit for use.

ALEhoUeH the Rump Senate has beer

ALThoUeH the Rump Senate has been
organized as 'tHigh Court of Impeaeh-
ment" for more than a week past, the
trial of the President did not commence
until Monday, and Its almost entire session
on that day was taken up with feeble
and wordy harangue from Beast Butler,
in which he denied the judicial character
of the "Conrt," and claimed that it was
bound by no rule of law or precedent.
He addressed Chief Justice Chase as
''Mr. President and members of the
Court as Senators" and in strong terms
urged the conviction of the President.

County Committee on immigration.

The Governor ,bas appointed Francis
Vivian, William Wigham and Geo. H. Otis
county compiittee to assist the State
Board of Immigration. The design is to
furnish information to the people of other
countries in regard to the soil, products,
and facilities our state offers to the people
desiring to immigrate to this county. We
hope our county may present good show
ing in the forthcoming pamphlets, for we
are satisfied that if correctly reported, her
claims will rank second to no other county
in the state The committee is a good one
and will doubtless attend to the matter,
but the business does not rest with them
alone. The people of the various towns
must be ready and willing to furnish the
desired information, and that promptly, OF
it will not be published in the pamphlet;
and correctly, or it had better be left out
We shall refer to this matter again.
