A Wild Cat StOry.

The Vicksburg (Miss.) Times tells
the following in its issue of March 4 !:
"One day last week the residence of
Mr.. Powell, near head of navigation on
Sunflower river, was attacked by a gang
of wild cats, Mrs. Powell and the col
ored servant only being at home The
door being closed, one of the cats jun.
ped through the window, when Mrs.
Powell threw blanket over it aud
threw it out at the back door. This
one was soon followed by another,
which she killed with small az. Bv
this time the colored cook was attacked
a short distance from the house, and
she alarmed white neighbor, who was
at work near the place, who came to
her assistance and killed the cat with a
Ratchet, but not until the cook had been
pretty we'll "chawei" by the Kitten
The gentleman then went to the relief
Of Mrs. Powell, at the house, when two
of the cats attacked him and injured
him quite severely before he succeeded
in dispatching them -Four Of the pack
were killed, and several wounded be-
fore they could be scared off The
hides of the four cats that were slain
were brought to this city on the steamer
Lizzie, yesterday. A day or two after
this attack the carcass Of deer was
found buried near this place, with evi
dence of its being the work of this
same pack of cats. This account comes
to US through reliable source, and we
can vouch for the veracity of it The
natives attribute the attack to hunger"

How You May Get Married In
Switzerland.

1t appears to be no easy matter to get
married in Switzerland A citizen of
Schaffhausen, who had removed to an
other canton, asked from his commune
the necessary permission to marry -
The President Of the commune. in re-
ply, told him that In addition to pay
ment for the needful documents he
would have to provide for the rights Of
bourgeoise if his fance were Swiss.
200 francs if a foreigner. The man
was told, moreover, that he would have
to provide by certificate that he was
provided with wedding outfit and a
fortune of 800 francs He would be
required to pay in addition 90 francs to
the school fund, 20 francs for the mill
tary tax for 1878, and finally S6 forms
II kreutzers for expenses incurred by
bis commune when he was ill in Ger
many. The claims thus amounted to
233 francs 40 centimes, irrespective of
all other expenses of permissions, trans
lations, stamps, and the cost of docu-
ments The man was totally unable to
meet such claim, and representations
to this effect were made to the council
Of his commune by a society for en-
couraging marriage, but all their efforts
are useless.
