A New Hampshire paper tells these
stories: 't'
last year Mr. Charles Edgerly, of Mere
dith, owned cat which was regular
hunter. He would often GO off and bring
in rabbits. If any of the family went
berrying, Tommy would go too and devote
his energies to wild game. If he became
separated from the party, he would climb
tree and ascertain the direction to head
himself to find them. He could catch birds
on trees, and the boys of the family, know
ing the propensity Of squirrels to take to
I fences and stone walls when in danger,
would put him on wall and alarm the
game. One afternoon Tommy caught fif
teen squirrels in this manner. He would
wait any length of time when put down in
place and told to stay there ~
"0ne day he brought rat and laid it at
the feet of Mr.. Edgerly, who took out his
knife and skinned it. Pussy surveyed the
operation with intense interest, and Sc med

SO get another and the cat won't off and
returned at intervals during the day with
three more, which were duly skinned under

for twenty to sixty days, after which the
soreness gradually subsidies, and the third
stage or that of convalescence commences.

annoyance. The second stage is far the
most dangerous Of the three, and it is du-
ring this stage, that the patient most fire.
quently dies. This subject presents peculiar
points of interest to thecitizens ofAlbany,
from the fact that there are two cases of
the disease now existing, which are under
the care ofDr. G. d. Mosher, of this city
A German family in Van Vechten street
purchased a piece of pork for dinner
Two boys belonging to tie family found the
pork in the house during the morning. and
ate some of itraw. The remainder was Cook
ed and the whole family, numbering seven,
ate it for dinner. The five, who only ate
it when cooked, did not suffer from the
disease, but the two boys were attacked
with Trichinosis, and one is now in very
dangerous condition. The other has re-
covered from all serious symptoms. In Or
der that there should be no possibility ofany
mistake in the diagnosis of the disease, DR..

which he had constructed for the purpose,
removed portion of the muscle from the
arm of the boy, Who'll has recovered, and, by
microscopic examination, found twenty

head ola pin. Professor Verchow, of Ber-
lin, who has investigated the subject of
Trichinosis carefully, states that the only
means by which the parasite can be surely
destroyed in the pork is, first, by cooking
so thoroughly that the entire substance Of
the meat attains a temperature of 212 -

We can hear the noise and the dash of the stream

Sometimes in nipples and small waves go,
One by one.

"ANTHoNY '& HALL"


FREAK OLA SoMNAMBCLIsT.-A some,
what singular freak of somnambulist has
just been related to us. A gentleman liv-
ing in the Seventh Ward, one morning
missed some money which he had in
drawer, and although strict search was.
made, no clue to the missing cash could
be found. The money was taken from a
drawer which was kept locked and the key
in the gentleman's pocket. The drawer
had been opened, the money taken out, the
drawer locked and the key returned to
the gentleman's pocket. The affair was in
volyed in mystery, which was not removed
the next day, when Get Of silver spoons
was missed. The servants were suspected,
and as q knowledge that the articles had
been missed had been kept from them, it
was determined to keep watch the next
night. Everything about the house re-
NAMED quiet until about two o'clock, when
a noise was heard. The person who was
on the watch peered cautiously through
the hall whence came the sounds of foot
steps, and saw approaching, the gentleman
of the house. He went to the cupboard
with stealthy steps, took therefrom guam
tity of silver plate and started for the back
yard, closely fnllalvod By tho Waterman,
who at once suspected the truth ofthc case
The sleep-walker proceeded cautiously to
the wood shed, and covered the plate care
fully in a barrel CLASHES, and started back
to his house. He was awoke by the watch
man, and was greatly bewildered. The
matter was explained and search at once
instituted among the ashes for the missing
property. The search was rewarded by the
discovery of the plate, spoons and green
backs, safely secreted amoung the ashes,
where they had been deposited by the gen
| tleman who had been unconsciously guilty
of robbing himself lAil,oaukie Sentinel.

BEHAVIOR IN CoMPANy.--Leigh Rich
mond gives the following excellent advice
to his daughters:
"Be cheerful, but no giglers. Be serious,
but not dull. Be communicative, but not
forward. Be kind but not seryile.. Beware
of silly, thoughtless speeches; although you
may forget them, others will not. Re-
member Gods eye is in every company
Beware of leyity and familiarity with
young men; a modest reserve without af-
fectation, is the only safe path. Court and
encourage conversation with those who are
truly serious and conversable; do not go
into valuable company without endeavor-
ing to improve by the intercourse permit
ted to you. Nothing is more unbecoming,
when one part of a company is engaged in
profitable conversation, than that another
part should be tritiing, Cycling, and talk
ing comparative nonsense to each other.
