s'THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH"
The Gander pulling match proved to be
highly amusing, and the sport was decided
| ly novel. There were fifteen contestants
for the prize, all mounted on fire charges.
The names ofthose who participated in the
grand tete were G S Stanfield, Ed Frank
lin, George Hoffstetter, James Cockrell,
Frank McGavock, w j Bass, Pat Mackey,
B F CockreIl, Matt Stratton Jr., G B
Ohickery, James B Tucker, James Creech,
V l. Kirkman. John 81 Williams, Jr., and
81 z Hsrick. The ganders for the sport
were furnished by Col d 81 McGavock, one
being % years of age and the other 20, and
at that age, it may be presumed
we're very tough about the neck. Being
well creased, one of the number was sus-
pended from a pole, and Buffalo Bill aud
party commenced their fitting. The Knights
did their level best for long time, aud final
" James B. Tucker made the lucky grab,
and broke the neck of the ancient foul, bear
ing its head in triumph arouGd the ring.
Another goose was put up, and this
time Frank McGavock bore off the prize.
AN ACCIDENT.
The Knights having pretty fair touch OF
goosegrease, now took to their flying chsrg-
ers, and an impromptu race was the result.
The foremost Of the party was B. +. Cockrlll,
on fiery Brown Dick arrived, closely
pressed by Frank McGavock, on swift
looted Jack Malone colt. When opposite
the stables on the east side of the grounds,
an attempt was made to pass through the
gap, but going so swiftly, il was found i'm
possible to make the turn, and McGavock's
colt leaped the fence. Unfortunately, there
was ditch at that locality, and the animal,
landing on the edge, stumbled, throwing
Mr.. McGavock over his head. Had the
ground been even where the leap was
made, Mac would have stuck to the saddle,
but occurring as it did, there was no hope
of saving himself from the fall he received.
He was somewhat stunned at first, but
with the exception Of a few bruises about
the face, we are glad to state that he is
"right side up with care" and ready for the
tournament tomorrow.

| ASTOUNDING MEsMERIC POWER. -[From the
HQn'eecdrd Mail, or India. IA curious case
OF. mcslnerism Is recorded by the civil sur
geon OF Ioshungabad. A young woman
named Nunnee, aged twenty-four, was mar
r,ei some twelve years ago. She however,
did not go to her husbands house for two
years altcrward. After staying with him for
cigllt days she suddenly became inscnsble.
and remained so for two or three days. She
was taken back to her mother, and soon got

never entered her husbands house without
falling inscnsibe and remaining so. BE was
very KIND and attentive to her. She liked him,
out whenever he came into her presence she
al once sank into this state. This went on
I'LL she became emacated and exhausted,
ana ut last her parents applied to the court

she was in court the husband entered and
sNe instantly became insensible, and was car
req 10 the hospital, where the case was care
i''iiy attended to by DR.. Cullen, in March,

even, breathing soft, her body plant. but
she could cal nothing. Experiments were
carefully made TO see if there were no
trick about it. While she was in bed her
husband was mntlled up and made to walk
through the ward. She said she felt be

well, but had not seen him anywhere
about. Next day this experiment was
repeated. and she actually became in.

for about I month, and the conclusion was
