Having heard of the Great Raft in
the Red River ever since our geography
days, VIC are apt to suppose that we know
all about it. We are well aware that it
is vast mass of drift-wood, completely
obstructing navigation at the point it
covers the water with Its countless trunks
of forest trees. We know that the river
passes under this mass as If it were o
bridge; and we may remember that in
1888, when the raft was one hundred
and twenty-four miles long, the general
government began the work of remov-
ing it, but after working at it for twenty
two years, abandoned the attempt as i'm
practicable, and confined its efforts to
the opening up of some of the lateral
channels or bayous. We may know all
this, but still be ignorant OF one of the
most curious characteristics of this great
raft, which is, that is, unlike RATS in gen.
eral, moves up the river against the cur
rent, instead of down. The movement
mont is very slow, being but mile or
two in . year. The explanation of this
retrograde progression of an apparently
stationary mass is simple enough. The
logs at the lower end Of the raft are con-
tinually broken away and carried off
BY the current, while fresh drift-wood
is brought down and added to the upper
end by floods and freshets. Thus the
raft, always falling away at one end and
growing at the other, gradually moves
up the river, and it is calculated that it
has moved since its forming, about two
hundred miles. Scientific writers have
suggested the idea TINT this mass of tim
Der, after lying in the old bed of the riv-
er for quite number OF ages, will be-
come great coal-bed. But when the
Red River country becomes thickly set
tied this enormous collection Of drift
wood may be utilized in some way or
other; and thus incidentally distant gen.
erations may be cheated out of good
coal fire.

The story told about hcr did NJ soul

tardy sustenation is effected by means of
fried chicken, soggy biscuits, greasy
hash and ole-leather fritters I'll relate
it. For years past, as mere matter of
form-somcthing handed down from re-
mote antiJuity-the officers Of the coun-
ty fair held in the nciguborhood where
this young lady lived have been in the
habit of offering Il premom to the lady

was eager to see so novel sight. There
was II tree near by which soon became
black with spectators, who had climbed
up to get better view. Fhe branches
were finally so burdcned that one by

them to the ground, until only one man
was left in the tree. He sat if a, lofty

TIE MCCAIN SHOOTING AFrRAY.-

1dE UuCOANN SnONAA~sN
The examination of John McGann
for shooting, with intent to kill, George
Mcdonald, was set for Saturday after
noon last, at two o'clock, before Justice
Forbes. At the hour named, the JUS
tice, Prosecuting attorney Good, N
Richardson, McGanns attorney and
the witnesses assembled at the jail. The
Prosecuting Attorney asked to have the
examination continued until next Sat
urday, stating that he wished first to
ascertain the probable result Of Nc.
Donalds wound, and second, to have
Mcdonald present, as was now impos'
sible. He had DR.. Hildreth sworn to
show that it was impossible now to tell
what result the wound would have,
and that Mcdonald could not now be
brought before the Justice without
danger.
DR.. Hildreth testified that the ball
had entered the arm below the shout
der, and had broken it. He and DR..
Frissell has attempted to find the ball
without success. 1t is not improbable
that the ball has broken on the bone.
The arm is very much swollen, and the
Doctor would not say certainly that
Mcdonald will recover, or that the
wound will not prove fatal, there are
so many contingencies that no physician
would be safe in saying that he will re
cover. Mcdonald was up and sitting
in a char when DR.. Hildreth called on
him Saturday. The arm is more swol
len than before, though there is less in
the shoulder. tits impossible that the
healing process has commenced on the
wound. lie did not think the data
sufficient for him to say with any Ger.
tainty one way or the other as to the
probable result OF the wound. The
"sloughing" process had commenced,
and until it was ended, the result was
in doubt. 1t was not impossible to
bring Mr.. Mcdonald before the court,
but no physician who cares for bis
patients life would consent to it.
The Justice, after consideration, con-
cluded to postpone the examination
until Saturday, and in the meantime
McGann would stand committed with
out bail.

Police CoURr.-The case Of William
Orr, continued from Friday, was again
continued on Saturday, Billy not being
ready with his stamps to SO on with the
hearing.
Frank Wise is void of wisdom, or he
would have known that it isn't sensible
in one both Frank and Wise, to get his
key full, especially in Centre Wheeling.
He was found on lower Main street, so
obfusticated that locomotlon for him
was impossible. Officers Cooper and
St. Myers, procured a carriage for him.
a neat little affair with one wheel, for
which the horse is a man, and in it
they toted the Wise man to the GALA
boose. Before Judge Good he insisted
that he hadn't been drunk that he had
had fit of apoplexy. But the Judge
has doctored a good many such fits,
and knows you can get EN- for dollar
a gallon anywhere. He required
Frank to pay 81 and costs for a pre-
scription AS he didn't have the money,
Frank was sent to the Hospitale de
Price, there to remain ten days.
