AN EXCITING DEER HUNT,
A Struggle with a Wounded Buck in the
WGter-The Hunter Diving for his Life.

H@sNA ~AN AAANN= 1Af%-6 NNt s-~ N-A+~T
Curley Bette Quick, noted as hunter
among n family of famous hunters, had
an exciting adventure with a wounded
bnck In Big Log Tavern Pond, near Mil
ford, Pennsylvania, one day last week.
tie was on a runaway, and an immen-e
i've prong buck ran into this pond, near
where he stood. Quick iump-d into his
heat and followed the deer, dlscharging
both arrels Of his ride At the animal.
Tie says he chit Il bad" but Il kept
fight on. Radouhling his efforts he sent
tis boat alongside OF the deer. II had
got far ont in.o the pond, which at that
spot Is half mile wide, and very deep.
Quick had dropped his rifle In the bottom
Of the boat without reloadug He thought
that the buck was so badly wounded thaf
he could dispatch It with his knife. He
seized It by one of its horns and tried To
h I'D II, bnt the der plunged at the same
time, end the horn broke OF, throwing
tee hunter backward and almost cap
siz NJ the boat. Ragainiug his equill-
hrlum, Quick again seized the deer by
he horns. The deer wbirlet suddenly
around and pulled Qnick out of the boat.
u landed sqlarelY on the deer's back, k,siii
retaining his hold on its horns. lie was In
= perl0us position, iong way from
and. aud his boat lying bottom side NJ.
lie knew from experience the danger OF
II hand 10 hand contest with q wounded
lee-. on land or water. " he cou'd hold
D. f. p3sition on the Geer's back, he h0p-d
10 b. carried safely ashore. But the
deer by sudleuly duching his head,
threw the hunter over his head in front Of
him, and the next instant struck him
with his fore feet. Qnlck saw that he
must fight for bis life. Drawing his
;uife he closed with the now frantic
animal. lie plunged the knife in the
dger's neck twice, and then It slipped
from his hand aud sauk, leaving hin
defencOiess.
The deer, meantime had not remitted
in the least his mode Of warfare. aud
| Quick's clothing was almost entirely
stripped from him. FudinE that he
sioni no pos. bile chance with the back,
he dove from sight, and coming up so1e
distance eff, made for the nearest shore.
Tre deer did not follow, but took the
! shore at another p1irt aud lost @ tim

wounds were painful, out not serious.
The buck was found dead tNe next day
about a quarter Of mile away.

MIXED ScaooLs.-This is to be one of the

occasions to frighten voters from our party.
There is no basis whatever for such an OBJ

can, white or colored, who is i'll favor OF
mixed schools in Virginia. We believe that
separate schools are better for both races,
and this is the universal sentiment OF our
party. Let us, therefore, announce this IN
our platform, and thereby anticipate the false
charges of our opponents. Let US strike
for the ampIest possible education, equally
free to all. but give us distinct schools Tor
each race. That is the voice of the Republi-
can party of Virginia. State Journal.

but we know too well that the negro party
dare not pass such a resolution to hope
that the Journals wishes will be carried out.

The Milwaukee Nems directs attention tt
the fact that Senator CARPENTERS defence
the salary grab was AN official utterance-
he act and cdict of the National Admins
tration. Senator CARPENTER is President Of
the Senate. Vice-Presdent WILSON IS
parah tic and liable to die at any moment
and only President GRANTS life would thel
stand between Mr. CARPENTER and the presl
dency. The Ners says:
.:The President cannot make speech
The Vice President is speeches.. The neX'
lnan to them in the Government--the sue
rcssor in case of vacancy to their oifices-has
spoken for them. and his defence is their
defence. 1t is the delegated voice Of the
Republican party of the nation, avowing
and defending its crimes. That is just
what Senator Carpenters GAINESVILLE speech
amounted TO, and no less"
The fact stated above is a suggestive com

partments of the Government. He will be
President Of the United States because he is
President of the Senate, and President of the
Senate because lie is Senator, and yet he
will not be either Senator or President OF
the Senate after he shall have become Prcsi-
dent Of the United States! If this is not
confusion worse conlounded, we are mis-
taken.
The sooner Congress shall repeal the ex-
isting law, and provide that some executive
officer shall succeed to the presidency, the
better. 1t is shaue that the man who is to
succeed Il President impeached for any cause
should have the right to vote for his cOnvic-
ton and removal from Office. 1t gives to Il
senator the right TO vote himself into an Of
fee worth fifty thousand dollars annually. II
