FIGHT FOR LIFE WITH AN EAGLE
A lad of about 10 years of age, son OF
james McDermott of Auburn, Mass,
was attacked one day last week, while
in fe d near the house, by large gray
eagle, which fastened its beak and tai
ons into the boys legs and shoulders,
and would not befrightened off by kicks
or screams. His uncle, who happened to
be near by, heard the noise and ran to
the rescue, when the eagle turned on
him, and he was obliged to beat it to
death in self-defense. The fierce Great.
ure's wings measured nearly eight feet
across, from tip to tip, and around one
leg was tied a bit of rope showing it had
escaped from some cage.

Jefferson Davis comes back from
Europe in greatly improved heath, and
in apparently fine spirits. He says that,
though receiving many attractive inyi-
tations to live abroad, he could not con-
quer his love of country, and sighed for
his Mississippi home, to which he now
returns. But he declares that he has
'done forever with politics." which is
certainly wise; and if he had not, he
would probably find that American poll
tics had done" with him. He isnow going
through the South on tour OF ovations
from his friends, beginning with Alex.
andria, last Saturday night.

An attempts being made to have an
honest election in New York city next
Tuesday, but it is not very promising,
and dishonest election will of course
give the democrats an overwhelming

what he gets. If We are going to pass
this bill let us exempt every species OF
property upon earth, and make an end
of the whole business at once.
Mr.. Bromley of Fawlet, said he had
always supposed that yoke and har-
ness weuld be considered as included in
the exemption in the bill of 1866, and
that the supreme court would so hold ;
and believing that such would be the
ease, he hoped the bill would be passed
and make the matter plain and explicit
Mr.. Bisbee of Newport, aagin discuss
ed the merits of the bill. 1t is the poll
cy of Vermont to encourage her farm

limitations of the attachment law.
Mr.. Butterfeld of Wilmington, said
that these exceptions do not always ben
eft the poor man but more frequently
the rich man. | borrow $500 of poor
widow, and invest it in property which
is exempt from attachment, and thus

Mr.. Carlton of Waitsfeld said tina
there was apparently an inconsistent,

of 1866.
Mr.. Butterfeld of Wilmington, sale
that the exemption laws often WORKED
to the detriment of the poor and to th
benefit of thu rich. He believed tn
tendency of this Jaw would be to pay
bounty on rascality; but if we are hon
est we shall not claim the protection o
the provisions of the bill, but will turf
out everything to pay our debts.

A MAN ALMOST LICKED TO DEATH
BY Cows.-A fruit thief near Pittsburg,
on recent n ght fell from tree which
he was plundering, and on being found
nearly naked, covered with blood and
half dead, in the morning, told this sin
gular story: BY his fall he was SO Sc
verely injured that he wa rendered I'M
conscious, but he did not know how long
he remained so. When he recovered his
consciousness he felt no pain, but on at
tempting to rise found that one arm and
one leg were paralyzed. He did not call
for assistance, for fear that he would be
arrested, and concluded that he would
remain until morning. He soon felt a
drowsy sensation, and would have fallen
asleep but for noise which aroused him
and, on looking up saw two COWS near
| by. The animals advanced toward him
and one of them commenced licking his
face and hands. He tried to drive them
away, but they had tasted the brackish
perspiration which covered his hands and
face and he found it impossible to fright
en- them. His tormentors persisted in
licking him, and finally commenced
tearing off his coat and flannel shirt,
thus enlarging the exposed surface
This process was continued until his body
was almost denuded, and the flesh LAGER
ated by the teeth of the animals The
licking with the rasp-like tongues was
continued until blood oozed from his
arms, breast and ia e, and the unfortu-
nate victim sunk away from mere ex-
haustion, after using every exertion in
his power to keep the animals away. His
finders we're convinced that the state
ment was true, and it was correlated by
the appearance of the man.
