SMALL PoTAroEs.-The Democrat fnds fault
with Gen eral. Grants administration, because A.
A. Shissler, Esq, clerk of the Treasury Depart
'ment, has been engaged in sending off political
documents while receiving salary from the Gov
ernment. Mr.. Shisser is President of Grant
and Wilson club, and if he chooses TO devote
some spare time after office hours to disseminate
documents, exposing the efforts of the mongrels
to get into po,csr, he has right to do so, and no
liberal minded man would object. This the Dem
oerat alledgcs sis equivalent to stealing" Such
are the arguments, and such is the logic of the
Greedy Democrats. Absurd as they are, they are
characteristic of the party who have no princi-
pies but Office.

A SERIOUS AccrpEsr.--John Bowen, Esq., one
of the nrm of Frlling, Bowen q Engel, met with
q serious accident on Saturday last, while on
gagged In working on the large saw mill along
the river The sawyers were saving crooked
stick of timber and in sprlngng the stick the cir
cular saw came In contact with iron uprights,
breaking out number of teeth, one of which
passed to the rear end of the mill with great
force where Mr. Bowen was standing, and struck
him on the nose, breaking 1t and tearing out his
right eye. Fortunately Mr.. Bowen was standing
sideways, towards the saw, which prevented the
tooth from passing through his head. Another
Of the broken teeth was forced into a post some
two inches not far from where Mr.. Bowen was
standing. DR.. Haupt was sent for who dressed
the wounds. We are happy to learn that the
wounds are not likely to prove fatal, although
they are of q very painful character.

Sharing Geese.

A little incident was brought to our
notice a day or two since, which illustrates
the Ingenuity OF the Chinese in a rather
peculiar manner. 'Mickey McDaniels," as
be Is iamiliarly called, owns a number of
geese, which occasionally gets in the slough
and strayS away to the Chinese vegetable
gardens which border this pleasant pool.
Doubtless they would help themselves to
-iphn'S cabbage on these predatory excur-
>ious, for it is well known that the descend
ants nf Rome's ancient preserves have a
tondness for this article.
The plan hit upon by John to prevent
Them from gratifying their natural propen-
stiles was ingenious and novel, and re-
manned undiscovered until a few days since.
Several geese belonging to Mr.. McDaniels
had died and no reason could be assigned
inr thus strange procedure on their part,
Tor they were fat and healthy, and goose
j. supposed to he a long lived fowl. But
when They were driven M to be picked the
mystery was solved Four of the birds
were found gagged in a singular manner,
aud one which can hardly be described. A
ring of line wire, about two inches in cir
conference, was found in the mouth of
zach, held there by being turned over the
sop of HE head and hooked i'm under the
feathers. The way il came there is easily
Hhu'fSlnod- Inc tlinaman, when maxine
these rings, twisted two ends of the wire
together, turning the end over, making
quite Il strong hook, This was hung on a
cabbage leaf, or other vegetable, and left to
wait the coming of the victim. In feeding.
The goose would strike its bill down to pick
~ Il tempting morsel and if one part of
Ih. bill went inside this loop, its doom was
sealed, for the loop would by the force OF
ih- blow he turned over the head of the
reckless bird, and the hook would of neces-
>ity iasteD under the feathers on the top of
the head. few struggles of the impris-
oned bird would draw the fine wire under
the feathers out of sight and thus the bird
would be unable to close its bill. In this
condition, with its head high in the air, it
would run around in circle until exhaust
ed. Even in being driven home and
observed in this situation, it would require
close inspection to detect the cause of this
strange proceeding on the part of the tor
tured bird. Mr.. McDaniels lost large
number, and only discovered the cause
when engaged in picking them. Marys-
vile (Cal.) Appeal.
