ship Samuel +. Hersey was leaving Car.
lift. a terrific fight occurred among the
crew; and IN attempting to quell the mutt
ny, the captain killed one of the sailors
with an iron bar. But it seems that the
trouble was not so serious as reported. A
later account by mail says the pilot, on
returning from the ship, confirmed the
statement that melee occurred. but de-
clared there was no foundation for the re-

some point on the lower Penobscot, along
the shore to the provincial line. The three

line of thriving and growing towns along
that route ought to have railroad facilities.
Such a road would infuse new life and en-

A Child Stra ngled by a Cat.

Cos new hat factory who occupies j. W.
Canleld's house in this village Mrs.
holloway is accustomed to leave her babe,
a little girl four months old, on the bed
up stairs while she does her mornings
work in the basement, from where She
| could easily hear the least noise. On the
morning in question she heard the little
one growing as usual, but finally noticed
that the sounds ceased, and shortly aft er
heard a strange gurgling noise Suppos-
ing that the child had got its head under
the bed-clothes and was suffocating, she
ran up stairs to see about it, and found the
house-cat with its nose in the child's
mouth. The child was strangled black,
and was lighting feebly with its hands.
She caught the child and shook it several
times, when it caught its breath and came
out all right. In few minutes more it
would probably have been strangled to
death. Mrs. holloway had to pull the cat
off the child, SO eager was it to remain.
1t had paw on either side of the childs
head, and had its nose pressed deeply in
to the child's mouth. The cat was in
stantly killed.

Cor. KeUODO on his DEFENCE

Gov. Kellogg has issued an address to
the people of the United States, in which
he attempts to Justify his original usurp-
alton of power in the unfortunate State
he misrules, and next, to prove that his
carpet bag government has been an hon
est one. The best thing he could do to
satisfy the people of the United States
would be to relieve the people of Louisi-
ana of his presence, and to leave them
free to choose their own State govern
ment by fair vote of all entitled to the
franchise, black and white. This would
be the most convincing proof he could
give of his honesty. of course we do
not expect him to give it..-N Y. Herald

4 Snake in a Railroad Car.

Yesterday on the train on the Eric
Railway, which runs from Rochester
to Dansville, and reaches here at 10 A
NJ, IA most singular circumstance oo.
Cured. When the train was three
miles from this village, the passengees
in one of the coaches were alarmed
by the singular actions of lady who
gave her name as Mary Z. Rhoades,
Adrain, Michigan, and a relative OF
Rev. {. t. Sc b., of Orleans New York.
She was leaning over a seat, uttering
the most piercing cries. a gentleman
rushed to her and asked the trouble
She made no answer, but continued to
scream the louder. When the train
reached this village she was helped into
the waiting room, and gentleman
present procured glass of brandy,
which being given the lady, she APP.
peared to recover some. \ lady stand
ing near at this juncturc gave scream,
and, pointing To the head of Miss
Rhoadcs, tainted. On examination II
large striped snake was observed coilcd
around the chignon of the lady. How
it came there was Il mystery, and only
explained by the theory that it had got
into the Car and took refuge under
the cushion of the car seat. Miss
Rhoades stated that she felt something
crawling up her head, but could only
give vent to her feelings in screams,
and until it was taken oil did not her
self know what the matter was The
snake was at once killed, and the af-
fair produced no little excitement for
the time.

the pastor; after which, they offered
resolution asking him to resign, which
was tabled. The pastor spoke in his
own defence. when he was inter rupt ed
by the moderator, who exclaimed, You

followed. Hammond asked to be allow

and he would try to do better. He
pleaded that he was young. The dis
charge from the church he said would
be his ruin, besides this his salary was
greatly in arrears. The meeting ad-
journed amid confusion. 1t is probable
the trustees will close the church doors
against Hammond.

IN american TictOry

[ The Irish team" Of rificmen who
| were beaten at CreedmoOr on Saturda,
insisted that the rifiemen on the Amer
lean side should be all American born
and she'd use rifles of American
manufac ire, and the demand WIS
complied with, the American, with
Remington and Sharpe brecch- leaders,
heating the Irish champions, with
their Rigby muzzlc leaders, who had
previously beaten the best six shots
OF England and an equal number in
scotland. If, as the Irish assert, the
muzzle-loader is more accurate, the
victory of the Americans is still more
gratifying to their national pride. 1t
now appears that the score of the
match is higher than any ever before
attained in any similar contest. The
New York Herald remarks that the
score of the Americans "has never
been equalled in any long range com
petition, and even the Irish ritiemcn
surpassed all their former efforts. This
renders the victory of the Americans
the more honorable, while it is an
achievement of which the defeated
team may be proud" This also ex-
plains why the hitherto unequalled
team were defeated. They did not
shoot worse at Crcedmoor than when
they won the Elcho shield over the
English and all Scotland. On the con.
trary, they shot better than they ever
did in their lives. Victor and van
quished, accordingly, may alike be
satisfied.
A New York dispatch says that Geo.
Wingatc, Captain of the Amateur Rifle
Team, who won the late victory at
Creedmoor, has published an answer
to the challenge of the Irish team to
fire ono hundred shots each, at 1000
yards, at Creedmoor, on Saturday next,
the Americans using brcecll- leaders
and the Irish muzzle- leaders. He SAYS
business prevents the team from accep-
ting the challenge, and suggests the
iirinP of rifles from fixed rest as the
best method of determining their SUI
periority 1t is very probable that the
Irish challenge to shoot at Dublin,
next year, will be accepted Sharpe's
Rifle Company has accepted Righy's
challenge of mnzzle leaders, verses
