spring, while prospecting upon the side
OF the mountain, Johns boys found o
family OF mink-two old ones and four
young. The young were quite small,
'fangless and furless, and therefore
yalueless. The old ones were nearly as
worthless, their fur being at that season
both thin and poor, and, after consider.

and save the lot until the next winter,
when their heavy coats Of glistenihg
fur would turn into many m honest

and constructed o rough box about
twelve feet long by four feet high and
six feet wide. This they carried TO o

one end in the brook, so arranged 1t
that by boring augur holes in the sides
OF the box, o brook ran constantly
through IL from side to side. The dry
end OF the box was filled with earth
about o foot deep. and upon II was
thrown o mass OF green boughs and
twigs, which were renewed as they
wilfed through the summer. This con-
stituted the minkery, and into II wore

iner others were added until the colony
numbered twelve. They were fed on
wild meat, the carcasses Of woodchucks,
hedgehogs and squirrels, and live fish
which were caught In nets and put into
the brook inside the box. The minks
thriyed and grew wonderfully, becoming
as fat as pigs, and being quite as hearty.
Last winter they were taken out and
skinned, and their skins sold for s57.

The Loss Of tho pilgrims.

The particulars which have Just come

from the steamer laconia shows, says
the Liverpool Post, that the disaster 10

reported. 1t Itappears that the Laconia
left Alexandria for Tunis, Algiers, and
other ports, with 943 pilgrims on board,
including what are known as the
"chiefs.n These belonged to several
different sects or tribes, among whom
on intense antipathy exists, and conse.

though tho tween decks measured
1000 tons Of available space, and was
divided into Ave compartments for the
Accommodation OF the passengers,
great number refused TO go down, and
the chiefs lying seasick in the saloon,
could not exercise theirauthority. Mat.
ters were in this condition when, two
days after leaving Alexandria, huge
wave broke over the afterpart OF the
ship, and fears being entertained that
some persons had been washed over
board, the vessel was Immediately
brought head TO wind, and kept 30 for
twenty.four hours, bat no one could be
seen in the water. The loss, however,
has been greatly exaggerated, the first
report emanating from the pilgrims
