Der OF society there as he wns here. The
Statesman, says he reached Boise late Monday
evening, little worse for the Journey. but able
the following morning to attend to his usual
duties. He informed the Statesmen man that
he met on the road en- route for Nevada, A.
Blk. who was making for the State line on the
double quick, having borrowed horse and
saddle Of friend. which necesstated rapid To-
comotion. The News, speaking of Bummer's
ARRIVAL, says: HE arrived on schedule time,
foot-sore and weary, and Immediately set about
pickingup Legislative crumbs, but the crumbs
were 50 highly seasoned with economy that
they turned his stomach and he died in horri-
BILE agony" That must be untrue; nothing
like that could kill him. Heb doubtless, is
lingering yet.

"thatis potato which once weighed pound"

who Is somewhat of wag, forwarded that
identical dried up potato To an assayer, with
instructions to assay this piece of rock, and

A TERRIBLE NIGHTS SUFFERING.
The perils Of BeAr Hunting ON the
Missouri.


From tne Kansas City, No., Times Nov. 10.
The hilly country Of Cole and Usage
countries of this State has been at one time
a favorite resort for ,rame, and particular
" for bears, and few bears and a number
of deer yet reolain III the rocky, brush
covered hills. A few days ago, according
to correspondent of the Plattsburg Regis
ter, man named William Hamilton, resid-
ing near the Missouri Pacific, took his rii,a
in the morning and weat into the timber
about mile off, to shoot squirrels. Not
returning in the evening, his friends became
somewhat alarmed, as it was known bears
had recently been seen in the neighborhood
Nothing being heard Of him all night, sew
eral neighbors went In search of him the
next morning. About o'clock in the
evening they found him up in leaning tree,
thirty feet from the ground, fast, and TN
able to extricate himself. After sone
trouble he was got down, it was seen that
one foot and ankle were badly torn and
bleeding. He said that about three O'Clock
the prevlou. day he came across large
black bear, and shot at him, but missed
him, when the bear made for him with all
his might. lie ran, and finding the bear
gaining on him, threw away his rifle, and
partly climbed and partly ran up a leaning
sycamore tree, with the bear following
right at his heels. The top Of this tree
had been broken off and WAS hollow. In
this hole he thrust one of his legs to keep
himself from falling, but he soon found
that his leg was fast when he tried to extri-
cate himself and he could not draw it out.
The bear, in the meantime, had torn the
boot off on the outside, and was gnawing
and eating the flesh from the foot ant
ankle. Mr.. Hamilton took his pocket
knife out and cut at his eyes, but with one
sweep of his paw the bear struck the knife
from his hand, with part Of two of his
fingers. tie could now see no help and
gave up to die, expecting to be eaten up
alive by the beast. But soon a happy
thought struck him. That morning he had
put some salt in his pocket to salt some
cattle tie had running III the timber, which
proyidentiaiiy he had not found. Of this
he took a small handful and spyinkled in
the bears eyes. Il had the desired effect.
He shook his head, growled and went
down. He soon returned, however, when
a little more salt drove him away the sec
ond time, when to Mr. Iiamilt0ns mex
prcssible delight, he now saw him trotting
off into the forest. That night Mr.. Ham
ilton's sufferings were beyond expression,
both in body and mind, with one leg fast
in the hole in the top of the tree, the-other
hanging out, torn and bleeding, and exceed
ingly painful and he not knowing what
moment the bear might return and finish
up his work.
He now truly ascribes the preservation
of his life to the salt he had in his pocket,
and advises everybody before they go hunt
ing in Usage County to fill, at least, one
pocket with salt

ThunlP. in Pigs.

In fall and winter the pigs in this coun-
try are very apt to be troubled with
cough. 1t only seems to attack the young
er stock, and they wheeze and pant for
weeks, and frequently die, and much loss
is occasioned by this asthma among the
syine; yet it is easily cured. If post
morton examination be made Vi pig
dead from this disease, in the air tubes Of
the lungs will be found great numbers of
worms, about an inch long, looking like
bits Of white thread, except for a sluggish
wriggiing capacity, leaving no room for
doubt as to the cause of death. For a
remedy, flavor the feed with spirits Of tur-
periae; this believe to be an infallible
cure. 4 choice B erkshire, which was SO
far gone that it could not eat before the
nature Of the trouble was discovered, was
saved BY pouring teaspoonful down his
throat. This was upwards of year ago;
before that we lost nearly all our stock
since then, none. The turpentine proves
to be a specific.

A Regular Fix.

At Bay City, recently, a COW was the
vastation few nights since. Breaking into
the yard Of Mr.. Lambert's dwelling and
putting her head INTO an empty barrel in
an exploring tour for any contents it might
have, she was unable to extrcate herself,
and soon became thoroughly frightened,
and began to rush wildly around. In this
condition she forced her way into the
woodshed, and thence into the kitchen, and
thence into the dining room of the house,
becoming alI the while more furious From
this room she made her way into the parIor,
throwing down and trampling under foot
everything that came in her way. Mrs.
Lambert aroused her husband, who was
asleep, who arose, but, finding he could DO
nothing, went for help. The COW next
rushed into the bedroom where Mrs. Lam
bert, with little baby and one child occu-
pied had, and another E.tle claila was III
crib IN front Of it. The enragcd animal
mounted the bed, but help arrived and not
an instant too soon. The window was
raised from the outside, and Mr.. McKinzie
attempted to enter, when the barrel gave
h m blow which knocked him back
against the fence. The children were at
last secured and passed through the window
and Mrs. Lambert soon followed. The
door Of the bedroom was then closed and
the COW was left to herself. At length she
became quiet, and the barrel fell from her
head; the doors were opened and she walk
ed out. The furniture, which was very
nice, is fearfully demoraized The
plastering was knocked from the walls,
and the panels OF the doors broken out.

A Profitable Days Work.

An instance of quick work, by which
pretty profitable wages were earned, has
come to our knowledge, which we think
worthy of public mention, the names of the
parties being withheld by their request.
Not long since there was employed in one
Of the large shoe factories in this city a
young lady whose duty it was to fasten the
taps and soles of lalies' boots together,
preparatory to lasting. This is done after
the tap and soles are dinked out, by first
pasting and then securing them by two
nails. One day a gentleman was in the
mandatory where she was employed, and
observing her celebrity of movement, raised
a question as to h ow many she could pre-
pare in one day. One of those having the
management of affairs expressed the opin-
ion that she could do twenty cases in ten
hours. The gentlemen first mentioned
could not credit this, and offered to stake
one thousand dollars against five hundred
that the feat could not be accomplished.
The wager was accepted, the young lady
acquainted with the facts and asked if she
could do it. She replied that she was will
ing to try, providing that she should have
a share of the money should she win.
This was agreed to and the task was COM
menced. At twelve o o'clock on the next
day she had eleven Of the twenty cases fin
ished and packed ready for the laster, and
In ten minutes inside The ten hours the
task was completed. The incredulous
gentleman paid the wager of one thousand
dollars, and the winner handed the young
lady fvc hundred of it. This together
with the sum earned by doing the work,
made pretty fair wages for one day, and
any one can see by little calculation
that she had to keep pretty busy. There
| were in each case sixty pair, making two
hundred and forty pieces Of leather to ham
die, and as many nails to be driven. In
the twenty cases there would be forty-eight
hundred pieces to take care Of in ten hours,
which was done: thus averaging four hun
/ dred and eighty per hour, or eight in one
minute. This is an actual fact, and the
smart girl is at present doing snug little
/ business of her own in the central portion
Of our city. If this can be beaten bring
along the one who can do LYNN Re

Cp.rgolxn EriyOlity.

Eli Perkins, the humorous correspondent
of the New York Commercial Adrertiser. :,
thus holds forth in recent issue:
There are a dozen places uptown kept
by uncertain, but smart, matrons, where
hair-dyeing and enameling are done to =
great many good ladies. These wosnen
generally have their enamel department In
the rear of a millinery department or some
hair shop. They are women traps. An
unsuspeeting married lady vent into ons
of these places the other day and got
caught. &C.,

the woman.
"No, and don't care to know about
IT, replied the lady +"
But its so harmless Mrs. /. and
Mrs, c. have used it, and they say it's de-
hghtful. Now let me just try it on one Of
your hands-just little - .sas-
"No, | don't want It," continued the
lady ey
But let ME try one finger. You can
then see how it will look-see how it viii
work, and see that it don't ruff the skin
and grow black
So the lady relented, partly out of curl
osity, and with the thought that there
might be some virtue in it after ALL
The woman applied the enamel to the
finger, then to the hand. 1t was besuti-
ful. The lady went home delighted. She
looked at her hand for several days. Is
was smooth and velvety-then in fatal
moment she returned to the destroyer and
had her face e.lameled. 1t lasted for two
weeks. Everybody saw it. Her friends
were disgusted, but they said nothing.

Jersey MOsQuit0es.

A gentleman just returned from Bergen
confesses that he has always done New
Jersey mosquitoes great injustice, and he
therefore wishes to make the best amends
honorable in his power. He says they de-
scended from the ceiling Of his bedroom 1t
midnight in such numbers that the whirr u
their wings was Ike the sound Of the dis
tant sea sarge. They formed in corps
d orn,ee upon the floor, one half ..eployine
as sappers and miners lifted the folds u
the mosquito net, while the other halt, con-
shutting the first attacking party, passed
under, furiously assaulted their viesin, and
then rctreated to hold the curtains, ellov-
ing the sappers and miners in their turn to
advance and glut their thirst for sc.e. He
thinks these insects are the Darwinian
germ of a race yet destined to cover tho
earth with creatures of a much higher or
der Of intelligence than that possessed by
man.

THE Sentinel is greatly exercised in its
mind, (such mind as it has), because the
News has not criticized Grants message
with some severity. In the absence Of any
very partizan and hostile opinion Of our
own on that document, we quote what tho
Springfield Republican says, which ought
to be good radical authority: +" It may be
described as halting, undecided docu-
"nent in all but few points, and while
''it will be well received in general, il will
''exc;te no cordial respone to its sueges-
"tions, for the country has got beyond
fsmost of them already. MI. Ners.
