INDIANS HOLDING CLAIMS. Several
Indians holding claims in Whatcom
county have built houses, fenced lands,
have stock, and are holding claims like
other settlers. Some white settlers,
supposing the Indians had no rights
which they were bound to respect,
jumped their claims. The matter has
lately come up before the Superintend-
ent of Indian Affairs, who decides that
the Indians are entitled to their claims,
having severed their tribal relations,
they not having drawn any annuities
for several years, and has notified white
settlers to vacate the lands.--Erpress.

Shelves ran around this cellar at convenient
height on which were kept milk, cream,
butter and other things proper to milk

we saw this cellar, its GOODNESS, perfect clean
illness and sweetness were so impressive that
the remembrance of it is still perfectly dis

feet in diameter, and in all about fourteen
feet deep. The lower apartment was ceiled
over with wooden beams and tight floor.

TALES OF Boston CATs.-Our Boston
exchanges make the following contribu-
tions to feline biography. The first is
from the Transcript:
1.-The number of lives which cat DOS
sesses has always been a matter of
dispute, some contending that nine were
the proper allowance, while others stoutly
assert that the feline race is no more
gifted IN this respect than other animals.
Io this latter theory MIR. Jones, of Milton.
was strong adherent. until a recent Cir
cumstance coming under his observation
LETT him in a painful state of uncertainty
IN regard to the matter. Having few
supernumerary kittens about the house, he
determined to get rid of one at least. So,
selecting his victim, he tied stone about
her neck and Pumping her into pail of
water, walked off, leaving her to her un-
tlmel y fate. In about half an hour he re-
turned, and fishing the body out buried it
In the garden. The next morning, nearly
twenty-four hours after the burial, while
passing through the garden, he heard
strange noises, and upon nvestigation
found they proceeded from the newmade
grave of the supposed defunct feline, upon
opening which disclosed the alarming fact
that either there was live cat or par
tlcularl y lively dead one, the first appear
ing to him the most reasonable, as the
resurrected tabby possessed an astonishing
appetite, and is still living, moving and
having her being after the manner of cats
in general. If any one now asks Mr..
Jones how many lives cat has, he re-
plies that he is certain they have two,and
is ready to take stock in the other seven. y
This is from the Post
"a singular accident recently happened
to the pet of this establishment. Puss was
great favorite with editors, reporters and
composltors, and she was always TO be
found somewhere around their rooms. A
few days since, while most Of the windows
IN the building were raised, this petted
mouser ventured on to a window sill of
the composing-room, and soon caught
SIGHT OF some doves billing and coolng
near by. True to her natural instincts the
cat prepared for a capture, and when
everything seemed favorable she sprung
toward the unsuspecting birds But the
smooth granite offered no opening for claw
or foot, and SO slipping from the dizzy
height she fell to the pavement five stories
below. She struck fairly upon her feet,
but the shock was so great that every leg
was broken, and it was found necessary to
kill her."

WOODEN COLLARs.-The Maryland Farmer
prints the following argument in favor OF
wooden collars: The present huge collar
chOkes the horse in summer, and chills him
through The lungs in winter. collar made
OF white Eastwood or other light wood never
heats, gals or chills horse Experience has
demonstrated that hard, wooden surface.
polished and kept clean, is the safest, coolest
best and healthlest collar ever used. They
will only weigh one-third as much as ordi-
nary collars, and unite names and collar in
one. No rough surfaces are worked up; 10
sweat absorbed to cook scald; the air pass
es round the collar, evaporating the moisture
and keeping the skin dry; the hair is not
chated and fretted. During the war it was
found necessary to remove an equipment fac,
tory to the south five hundred miles. The
number of collars for the teams employed
was insufficient by forty, which was made of
wood, polished and tied on by ropes on each
end At the end of the tiresome Journey
all the horses and mules that used the ord-
nary collars were severely galled-nearly
ruined and for long time unfit for service !;
while those that wore the wooden collars
were ungaIled and ready for use as usual.
Several planters, also being unable to pro-
cure collars during the war, made them of
wood, and conducted their business with sue
cess, and comfort to their mules and horses.
