IT Is reported of young married couple
in Massachusetts,, that, having quarreled,
they separated, and subsequently, went to
work in the same mill, and boarded at the
same house. Having adjoining rooms in
the latter, they pleasantly spent their leis-
ure time talking about each other, to COM
panions, in a voice loud enough to be heard
through the thin partition, varying the
programme occasionally by kicks against
the Intervening wall, and cries of 81 wish
it was you"
A coNcEITED fellow, who prides him
self on being able to explain and under
stand everything, was present during a
conversation about apple-butter. He had
never heard the term before, and COM
menced repeating it to himself. when one
of his friends said to him: perhaps you
do not know what apple butter is?" "Oh,
yes, do" was the answer; 81 suppose it
is made from the milk of cows fed on ap-
pies"
A SINGULAR instance of death from hy-
drophobia is given in an exchange. Mr..
King, living in Boylston, New York, was
severely bitten by a mad dog about forty
years ago. He has experienced no seri-
Gus trouble from the wound during all
these years; but a few weeks ago he be-
gan to act in strange manner, and ap-
peared very melancholy. Recently he
was seized with severe paroxysms, indi-
eating hydrophobia, and after few days
of fearful suffering death came to his
relief
A NORWICH man who habitually drinks
too much liquor, and falls asleep on the
sidewalk, has a wonderful dog. When
the man lies down and dozes, the dog
takes him by the collar of his coat and
gives gentle pull. If the man gives a
snore and a turn, but refuses to wake, his
friend gives a more emphatic reminder of
the necessity of moving. Then, if the
sleeper does not awake, the dog takes a
firm grip on some loose portion of his
masters habiliments, and pulls him until
he is fain TO arise, shake himself, and wend
his way homeward, followed by the
watching eyes of his brute companion.
The man is somewhat deaf, and cannot
hear when knock is given on his door.
The dog, who sleeps near him, awakes at
summons for his master, pulls him until
he awakens, and thus notifies him that he
is wanted.
THE latest bear story comes from Por-
cupine Valley, Nevada. A big cinnamon
bear came down to the station buildings
from the mountains, about the middle of
the afternoon, during a furry of snow.
and got after some young hogs that were
running about the barn, some two hun
dred yards from the house. The sudden
appearance of bruin created great COM
motion in the barn-yard-the hogs boob
ing and snorting and the fowls cackling
at great rate. The noise attracted the
attention of the men at the station, and,
going toward the barn, they saw the bear
in full chase and close upon the heels of a
porker. Finding the bear close upon
him, the hog lodged behind harrow that
was leaning against the side of the barn,
when bruin ran his head through the har-
row up to his shoulders in q vain attempt
to reach the frightened pig. The pig
darted from its cover, and the bear, IN
pulling to withdraw his head, was caught
in the side of one of his jaws by the sharp
point of the harrow teeth. The bear be-
gan pulling to free himself, when down
came the harrow, and, being turned with
the teeth down, the fastening process was
soon substantially finished, as, not only
the tooth that was in the jaw was forced
into the ground, but all the rest were SIM
ilarly fastened and bruin most effactually
trapped. Seeing and comprehending the
situation, Thomas Rand, keeper of the
station, ran to a woodpile, seized an axe,
and, by few blows, soon dispatched the
bear, which weighed nearly four hundred
pounds when dressed.
