in the snow at the risk offreezing to
wait for morning. After wandering
around for time, they concluded
to stop and dig q hole in a large
snow-drift, which would afford par
tial shelter from the fury of the
storm until morning. When day
light appeared they crawled out and
found themselves badly frozen. One
of them, Charles Butler, insisted
on going on toward the lake, while
the other as strongly insisted upon
trying to find the nearest house.
They finally separated-Butler and
his dog going in the direction of
Storm Lake, while the other wan
dered around until he'found a house.
Before reaching it he became nearly
deranged from his sufferings. Hav-
ing pulled off his boots to rub his
feet, he was unable TO get them on
again, and was compelled to walk
several miles barefoot in the snow.
When he reached the house his feet
were badly frozen, mangled from
the stubble of the harsh prairie grass,
bleeding and useless.
On Friday night Buffers dog
came into Sac City, and made such
demonstration that some of the
citizens who knew him, seeing him
so lank and apparently nearly
starved, became alarmed for the
safety of his master. Early the
next morning party of men started
out, and following the dog who ran
on before them for about twelve
miles, toward Storm lake, they at
last came upon the body of the I'M
fortunate trapper lying stark and
rigid in the snow.
The dog had evidently stayed with
his master from Tuesday night until
Friday, when, almost famished with
hunger, he sought the settlements

Bulwer was fond of her, and dedi-
icated one of his early novels to her
in afect;onNte terms. When the
quarrels BEGAN, the hu7band's moth
er made things worse, and, a.ter
disgraceful scenes had been enacted,
a separation was agreed to. When
Bplwer was a Cabinet Minister, he
sought to get her confined in an
asylum, but she obtained her re-
lease, posted to the county town at
which he was to present himself for
reelection, and harangued tie

Lytton, now rising fast in the di

"Owen Meredith" undertook to
live with his mother and keep her
from mischief; but her violence
became at last real insanity. Some
of her books, such as Chevely.

though the hatred of her husband
which they reveal, is sickening.
She extended this feeling to his
friends, and &" Mr.. Ben. Araby,"

The following is an account OF a
hard fight between 4 man named
Hit and a seven-foot alligator, in
Texas:
Hit went to work as usual i'll the
morning, hut during the night an
alligator had taken possession, and
was in the yard. On arriving at the
ward, Hit entered the vat without
discovering the intruder, and took
hold of a side of leather and pulled
and tugged, but could not raise
hide, and called to his son TO assist
him in raising it. He had not yet
discovered the monster lying on TIE
hide. nearly GOV cred with tan-ooZe
He beard a splash behind him, ard
thought it was his son. Not so,
however; the alligator had made a
lunge at him, but only caught the
seat Of his breaches Thinking his
son had missed his grab, he bawled
out. ''What the devil are you pull
ing at me fOr?" Why don't you
take hold of the hide = His son
answered, Pap, / amt there" Apol-
odorus relates that Theseus sat so
long on a rock that he grew to it,
so that when Hercules tore him for
ciblv away, he had left the neither

had narrow escape from q similar
fate. He screwed himself around
minus the seat Of his bIeeChes, to
see the monster in battle array, face

known to those acquainted with the
