A Little Child Caught up by an gle and
Carried Two HIfIes.

gentleman named Bowers, from Meigs-
VILE, Jackson County, now in town, informs
rs that on Christmas eve, about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, the farm of Mr. White
side, about five miles from Meigsville, was
the scene of most exciting and nearly
fatal event It is briefly this:
Mr.. Whiteside was in the little town,
doing some business; his wife was away ut
neIghbor's, where a sick child was strug-
Cling with cholera infantum; and the only
in door servant they had was out in the
barn looking after some cattle, when their
child "a bright little boy, just learning to
toddle around on its little feet and prattle
of its cradle, in which it was left asleep by
the servant few moments before, and
managed somehow to get to the door, which
was unfortunately open at the time, although
the girl left In charge of the place AYERS that
she had closed it on going out. The child
tumbled into the front yard, it is supposed
and was crying and sprawling around, when
great gray eagler seen by the girl as she
was leaving the barn, came sweeping down,
ana fastening Its immense and cruel talons
in the clothing of the little boy, rose up,
apparently with much difficulty as high as
it could, which was not very high, and
sailed Oft across the adjacent woods, lust
skiprming, as the servant says, the tops of
the trees.
When the servant saw tho eagle coming
down, as she was leaving the barn, she had
presentiment of the strangest kind, and
says she felt that the child was out doors,
and that the fierce bird of prey was pounc-
ing down upon it; but when, in a moment
after, she beheld the great tyrant of the air
rise above the house-top with the little child
IN its claws, she grew dizzy and fell to the
ground. Her weakness, however, did not
continue long; the cold air blowing across
her iace revived her quickly, and jumping
on her feet and gazing round wildly, she
saw the eagle disappearing over the woods
In the direction of the Cumberland River
one was hlied with but one impulse of
resculng the little boy. She became as one
1rantlc, Tor she had remarkable affection
for the child. She rushed forward, bounded
over the fence, as if she were endowed with
the llghtness and agility of deer; dashed
into the wood, dark and tangled as it was,
not taking time to hunt out foot-paths. or

The patch of wood was fully mile and

to the other edge of it without feeling in
the least fatigued. Beyond the wood, and
between it and the river, lay patch of

The Mosf Singular Wilton Record.
20 A man in Columbus, Ohio, has made the
most singular will on record, though he is
represented to be a shrewd business man
who exhibits no signs of insanity in any 9TH
case. The will disinherits ali the natural
heirs OF the maker of it, and devises the en-
tire property in trust for the cstablishmer, oil
an inhrmary for cats! A most elaborate
architectural plan for the necessary buildings
is attached to and made part of the will. 1t
provides areas for that sweet amatory con-
verse so dear to the feline heart, and rat holes
of the most ravishing nature to be kept well
stocked. The most ingenious contrivances
are provided for securing to the rat a chance
OF escape, so that the oats may not lose the
pleasures OF the chase by finding their prey
come too easily. High walls are to be built
With gently sloping roots, tor the moonlight
promenade and other nocturnal amusemen.s

The trustees are directed to select the
grounds ior this novel ihtirmary in the most
popuious part of some American city and the
deVisees are to be protected yby a competent
force OF nurses from the ravages OF men and
dogs. No person of the male sex is ever to
be admitted within the walls, and no female
