Bird Tracks in Stone.

A correspondent of the Providence Journal, in an article on fossil bird tracks in the Connecticut River Valley, says:
 We have only to go to the Connecticut valley, in the northern part of Massachu- setts, to lind in the slabs of sandstone frequently quarried there, the imprints of more than fifty species of birds with some quadrupeds, winch trod the shores or waded the shadows of that ancient estuary, the head of which was probably near Turner's Falls, filling what is now the Connecticut valley to that point, and opening into the ocean. These birds. long since extinct as living beings, did indeed leave their
 "Footprnts in the sands of time.' and so well does a part indicate the whole that these may also be photo graphed from their tracks, as Agassiz draws a fish, which Ire has never seen, from scale.
 Some of these birds were small, their steps being not more than three or four inches long, while others were six feet. Think of the birds which took such strides! The footprint of one is seven teen inches long, and another makes a track, if the impression made by what is thought to have been kind of heel be included, two feet in length and Q step of six feet.
 These tracks were first brought to the notice of the world in 1886, by the late President Hitchcock, although they had been observed year before. Although his statements were at first received with scepticism, they are now as we'll verified as anything in geology. Specimens o1 tracks from the locality named are to be seen in the large geological cabinets ot the world, and are found in many small private collections.

 How managed to hold on can't tell now, for though weak with all had done, I managed to give horse cry for help, and the next moment I heard cry of horror from the basket work car.
 Then I felt the rope begin to jerk as they began to haul us upland l managed to shriek out, " No no :" for if they hauled any longer they must have jerked poor Tom from my hold.
 I have often asked myself whether it was half an hour or only few seconds be- fore I saw big rope lowered with big running moose, and then I've misty no tion of having set my teeth fast on the dragging at me. Then I felt that it was all of poor Tom, for he had seemed to fall, as felt the rope by which hung jerk again violently.

 "Here old man," he said, for they had managed to drag us both into the car and for the next hour we sat there shivering saturated with cold precipitation; even the men in the car being silent, unnerved, as l suppose, by our narrow escape.

A Knowing Horse.

Philip Astley, of London, was un- doubtedly the best horse-tamer of bis day, and as judge of what may be called s'trick horse e-fesh," he has never perhaps been equaled. He generally obtained his stud from Smithfeld, car ing, as he said, ''little for shape, make, or color ;" temper was the only consid- eration. He rarely gave more than five pounds for each. For this price he eb- tained his accomplished horse "Billy, , great popular favorite, playful as kit ten with those he knew, and deeply versed in all the learning of the circus. ''Billy" could fire off pistols, take tea kettle of blazing fire, lay the cloth, arrange cups and saucers, and invite the clown to tea. All agreed that he could do everything but talk. But one day Billy" was arrested by the Sheriff, not on account of any extravaganza of his own, but owing to the misconduct of a groom, one Saunders, to whom he had been lent. Saunders had been many years in Astley's employ. and had bor- rowed "Billy" to exhibit him by way of private speculation. This terminated in the imprisonment of Saunders in the Fleet, and the sale of "Bllly" to the highest bidder. For three years the favorite was lost sight of. Accidentally one day two of Astley's ''riders' discovered s'Billy" drawing a cart in Whitechapel. There could be no ques- tion of the fact, for upon hearing 8 pc culiar clicking together of the nails o1 the forefnger and thumb-one of the signs or sounds Astley had always em- ployed in training his stud-"Billy" had pricked up his ears, pranced and danced in very remarkable manner. The re. cognition was mutual. "Billy's" present proprietor was we'll content to part with him at Q moderate price, ''for, as he explained, "though he's the best-tem pered creature breathing, yet sometimes he does cut such very rum capers tha we calls him the mountebank. Forth with "Billy" was restored to his.friends all was forgiven, and he reappeared il the circus as though he had never beer absent from it, made tea and wen through all his " business" and so con tinued too for many years, dying at las from sheer old age, universally respected and regretted.

A Strange Case.

The Fulton (N. Y.) 7Enaes is responsi- ble for statement which goes to prove that, in some instances, transfer of property to a wife in order to escape payment of creditors, may be no better than "jumping from the frying-pan into fre." Four years ago 8 certain gentle man, now resident of Utica, according to his own statement, was made the victim of conspiracy to such an extent that he was obliged to try an experiment of this kind. Forged checks and notes were so freely circulated throughout the State, that it would have taken the pro- ceeds of his entire estate to have paid them of. In this emergency, he assign ed all he possessed to his wife, and appointed nephew, as trustee. From that time he ceased to be master in his own house the wife became icy in her coldness to him, and he was deprived of comforts which were essential to man verging on his eighty-eight year. A newspaper correspondent finally heard of his distress, and visited him. The result was an elaborate article, descrip- tive of chamber that for squalidness was only equaled by that of the insane recluse who existed in single apartment for twenty-two years, without ever hay ing allowed the light of day to penetrate it. The nephew of the unfortunate gentleman has since brought an action for libel against the editor who published the account, but, for an obvious reason, the Grand Jury refused to indict. Con- sidering that the gentleman and his wife had enjoyed forty years of almost unin- corrupted happiness before the deed of assignment was perfected, the subsequent conduct of the latter seems all the more unkind.

ANNOYING WIrNEssRs.-Lawyers who badger witnesses upon the stand often get sharply cut, and among the hume rous stories told at the expense of the members of the bar, there is none better than one that occurred at the session of court recently held in Western city. A prominent lawyer had an old farmer upon the stand whom he undertook to browbeat, and for an hour labored hard to confuse and frighten him by his mer- ciless style of cross-questioning. The lawyer has large bald head that by a stretch of imagination might be thought to resemble pumpkin, and wore huge standing shirt collar. During his labo- rious badgering of the old farmer one side of the collar wilted and lay down on the lawyers coat. As the witness was released, he stepped toward his tor mentor and said, loud enough for the court and jury to hear "see here, Squire, if you don't put up your side boards you'll lose that pumpkin off the top of your load" Smiles were audible about that time.
