A Bank Robbers Game.

When Jack Canter. the bank robber,

asked what his profession was. A
bank clerk said he. " And now that

noticed that the paying teller wore a

A Singular Case.

a curious fact is pointed out by a
writer in one of the American journals.
He says that some years ago his garden
er pointed out to him some Austrian
and Scotch pines, which had been COM
pletely girdled by mice, but still con
tinued to grow as if no such injury had
been received. In order to test this
matter, he took an Austrian pine about
five feet high, and girdled it for space
of two inches, at about three feet from
the ground. This was five years ago,
and the upper portion is still alive. The
tree attracts much attention from visi-
tors to his grounds. When girdled, the
branch Y as about one and half inch
in diameter. The whole portion of the
stem between the tier of branches
above and that below-a space of about
fifteen inches-has since remained of
that size, and is dry and hard as a pine
knot" The parts above and below this
dead space increase annually in girth.
The upper portion is now about nine
inches in circumference. There are
branches above and below the girdled
portion, the lower ones growing much
the stronger. The upper portion makes
only two or three inches of growth a
year, and the needles are of bright.
er green than the lower.

Discovery OF AN ANCIENT BELL.-An
Irish paper states that as three men
were polling boat along the Able river,
county of Limerick, on Saturday, Au-
gust 10, the pole which they were u ing
stuck in the bottom of the river, and
for a long time their united exertions
failed to extricate it. At last they sue
ceeded, when to their establishment
they discovered that it was caught in an
enormous large metal bell, which re-
NAMED suspended to it, and which they
got into the boat. The bell, which
weighs about twelve stone, bore some
inscriptions, which have as yet not been
deciphered. On close inspection it
was, however, found that it bore the
date of 1881, and is supposed to have
belonged to st. Mary's Cathedral, and
to have been thrown into the river du.

The Cattle Disease i'm England.
From The London Daily News.


The foot and mouth disease among
cattle in Northamptonshire has consid-
erably increased during the past few
weeks. A return just issued by the
county authorities shows that there
were 10 cases reported by the inspectors
during the past week, and 81 and Is
cases respectively during the two weeks
Immediately preceding. The disease
has assumed its worst form in the
northern division of the county, adjoin-
ing Leicestershire, and in the North
ampton district. Up to Saturday morn
ing the reports received at the office of
the Clerk of the Peace at Preston, were
as follows Kirkham police division,
60 animals affected; Cliiheroe, 73l !;
Burnley, 95; Leyland, 4l6; Over Oar
wen, 20; Bacup, TO- Blackburn, 100 /;
Carstang police division, 81 total, l,5S5.
In the borough of Preston there are 80
cases, almost wholly in the township of
Fishwick. Four firms of cattle sales.
men in Liverpool were summoned on
Saturday at the County Magistrates
Court, Liverpool, on charge of having
acted contrary to the provisions of the
Contagious Disease (animals) act of
1869, in having on the l4th inst. at the
Stanley Market. Liverpool, exposed for
sale certain cattle suffering from the
foot and mouth disease. The case of
Hugh Verdun, of the firm of Verdun d
Cullen, was taken first as test of the
validity of the proceedings. A vetern.
airy surgeon, who had examined the
cattle, stated that they We're suffering
from the disease, though in slight
form, and immediate slaughtering was
desirable. On behalf of Mr.. Verdun il
was contended that the Justices had nc
power to infiict a summary penalty; as
that power was not conferred by the act
of 1869, which, though it repealed al
previous statutes on the subject, did
not contain clause providing for pen
atty. The bench adjourned the case FOL
aweek to consider the objection.

Miss HETTY HARPER, an accomplished

the family had left home for few
hours, leaving the deceased in charge of
the house, and during the day neigh
Dor came and found her lying on the
floor of her room with her head horri-
bly, shattered and a shot gun lying near
by 1t is supposed that she placed the
muzzle of the gun under her chin and
