BADGERS Last Monday, as james
Eaton and his little son were coming into
town, and when near Waugh's ferry, three
young badgers came out of the brush and
attacked Eaton. On seeing them making
for him, Eaton took his coat from his
shoulder where he was carrying it, and
held it before the animals, which bad the
effect of keeping them off of him until his
son procured a supply of rocks By charg-
ing on his asailants with the rocks, Eaton
succeeded in killing one of them and driv
ing the other two away.

ESCAPED. "A Leschinsky, and Po-

N@0O%-N
lander who recently came to this country,
prepared seine and skiff some time ago
and hauled them to McCloud River, and
prepared to &c into the trout and salmon
fishing business. One day this week they
started to commence Operations, and in
order to, make sure against the skiff
turning over, they lashed couple of
canoes alongside, and couple Of Indians
and the Polander manned the boats, and
taking one end of the seine started across
the cold swift stream for the opposite shore
while eschinsky was TO remain stationary
on the bank which they left and held on
to his end of the seine, But the current
was so swift that the boatmen failed to
make the contemplated landing and skif
and seine drifted out into the center of the
stream, and Leschinsky in trying to hold
on to the rig was pulled into the deep
water, and the whole concern was soon 60
ing>down stream at a rapid rate The
skiff, hampered with the dragging seine
and two canoes, proved unmanageable, and
the whole rig foated on down over rapids
and rifles, while the frightened Polander
alternately commanded the Indians and
prayed and 'cussed' iS the German, Polish,
Russian, Digger, English and Missouri
language, while his eyes enlarged to the
size Of saucers and glared like the lamps
on Geo. Finch's stage. One of the Indians
seeing that something must be done in
order to save the lives of the white fisher
men, uncoiled rope, made one end fast to
the skiff and the other around his waist
jumped into the stream aud stuck out for
the shore, and although he succeeded in
reaching shallow water, the current pressing
against the skiff and canoes was to much
for his strength to hold, and he was pulled
out into the current and again boarded the
skiff. Gathering up the rope, the Indian
made second dash for the shore, and for.
tunately just as he gained footing on the
bank, three teamsters who happened to be
watering their horses near by, saw the
situation, ran down the bank, caught hold
of the rope, and assisted the Indian to land
the demeralized feet and passengers. IT
the Indian had failed to get ashore when
he did, at point near where the wagon
road leaves the McCloud, and short dis
tance above where that stream empties into
Pit River, we would certainly have been
called on to record serious disaster. On
drying their clothes, Leschinsky and his
marine partner agreed to disagree, and
Leschipsky now owns the fishery himself,
and thinks he can run it more safely than
he did in connection with the Polish navi-
gator.

A Lost Boy.

The Boston Traveller thinks the
following story good illustration
of the way a good many striplings
in "iackets and trousers miss their
''bearings' and their wits: The
pet of family, residing not far
from Lagrange street, is boy who
has recently passed his fifth year,
and having just donned his first
Jackets and trousers, is attending a
primary school. The other after
noon he failed to come home at the
usual hour, much to the alarm OF
the household, and after long
search he was found, some time
after dark, at the Providence
depot.
He was sent to bed without much
explanation, though it is possible
his treatment was what Solomon
would have recommended in such an
emergency.
The next morning he was down
to the breakfast table, evidently
none the worse for the lesson, anC
perhaps the wiser. Taking advan'
tage of lull in the conversation
customary at the morning meal, HI
turned his grave countenanc'
toward the lady at the head of tn
table, and giving free vent to hi
overcharged mind, he exclaimed
on tell you, mamma, how
happened. After school / wen
part of the way home wit
Mary--,and at the corner of
street where she left me / kisse
her, and she kissed me, and then
found was lost"
There was. an explosion aroun
l the table just about that tim
I 1t is suspected this is not the fir
young gentleman who has bee
lost under similar circumstances.

"AII Hands Below :"

A good story-is told of a parrot
who had always lived on board of a
ship, but who escaped at one OF the
Southern ports, and took refuge in
a Church. Soon afterwards the
congregation assembled, and the
minister began preaching, saying
there was no virtue in them; that
every one of them would be lost,
unless they speedily repented. Just
as he uttered the sentence, up spoke
the parrot from his hiding place;
"All hands below y
To say that "all hands were
startled would be but mild way
of putting it. The peculiar voice.
from its unknown source, had much
more effect upon them than the
parson's voice ever had. He walt
ed moment, and then, a shade or
two paler, he repeated the warning
"All hands below y again rang
out from somewhere.
The preacher started from his
nulbit. and looked anxiously around,
inouiring if any one had spoken.
"All hands below y was the only
reply. at which the panic-stlicken
congregation got up, and moment
after they all bolted for the DOORS
the preacher trying his best to be
first, and during the time the mis-
chievous bird kept up his yelling;
"All hands below !"
There was one old woman who
was lame, and could not get out so
fast as the rest, and in very short
time she was left entirely alone
Just as she was about to hobble out
the parrot flew down, and alighting
on her shoulder, yelled in her ear;
"All hands below y
"No, no, Mister Devil shrieked
the old woman, "you can't mean
me. | don't belong here. l go to
to the other Church across the
way"

A Good Little Domestic An
ccdOtc.

A young mother was in the habit
of airing the baby's clothes at the
window. Her husband did not
like it, and believed if she saw her
practice as others saw it she would
desist. He so directed their after
noon walk as to bring the nursery
window into full view from the
central part of the town. Stopping
abruptly, he pointed to the offend
ing linen Topping unconsciously in
the breeze, and asked sarcastically
"My dear, what is the display in
our window |" "Why," she replied
"that is the flag of our union
Conquered by this pungent rotor
he saluted the flag by swing o
his hat, and, pressing his wife's arm
closer within his own, said, as the,
walked homeward "And long ma,
