A QUEsTIoN.-A fine young elm in
front of the Congregational church has
suddenly withered, and TO all appearance,
died. In searching for cause, the pres
ence of an ant hill about the ase of the
trunk, was first thought to be a solution
of the difficulty. While preparing to meet
this evil, it was further discovered that a
leak in the gas pipe had saturated the
ground and the roots with the subtle fluid
and then the conclusion took this direc-
ton. In admitting the last opinion, the
question arises, why does not the maple
near by, equally exposed to the fluid,
show no signs of languishing9 1t be-
comes very interesting question in this
connection, if the gas is injurious to the
trees, as we believe it has been found in
some instances on record, how is the park
to be affected by the pipes running
through it, in case of leak? This may
become an important question if the trees
ofthat beautiful spot are exposed to the
liability of injury and destruction.

HOW A SMART BOY WAS BEATEN.

In his boyhood Henry Chase prided
himself on his physical power, and, as a
jumpist, claimed the championship of
the town. He had younger brother,
slow moulded and logy, who, by accident
or otherwise, would occasionally accom-
plish some wonderful feat for the very
purpose of surprising Henry. Under
no consideration could Henry endure to
be outdone by his brother. Fully COM
pretending this weak point in his dispo-
sition, the brother devoted some portion
of each day to the execution of plans
for subdulng his pride. On one occasion
when wandering upon the banks Of a
stream running through his fathers
meadow, he discovered an eddy where
the saw dust had collected several inches
thick upon the top of the still water,
giving it the appearance of solid founda-
ton. Pulling off his boots the brother,
by means Of pole, stamped them into
the saw dust at the distance of a good
round jump from the bank. To CON-
plete the deception, he marched the
boots in various places over the saw
dust, making tracks enough to indicate
a safe place for travel. Meeting Henry
soon afterwards he touched his pride by
the announcement of a jump which he
couldn't come up to- ''Show me the
tracks, said the champion triumph
antly. His brother lead him to the
bank of the stream, where Henry gazed
in establishment at the unusual leap.
But he never would surrender without
struggle. Pulling off his coat, he gave
the usual swing of the arms for several
moments, then, with tremendous spring
he rose in the air, came down several
inches behind his brothers tracks and
disappeared beneath the saw dust. On
regaining the shore had he found some
suitable object to pound, the champion
would have felt better, but the brother
had prudently fed before the wrath
which was to come up out of the creek.

ELLIOT UPON SUMNER

words more fitting or sentiments more

necessary number, and means should be
taken for its diminution, or at least to
prevent It's increase. The Times sug-

licenses more expensive, or by creating
a public sentiment against the traffic.
This, it adds, should be done by any

the enormous number Of drinking places

FACT OR FABLE.-A correspondent

thor. Pigs in their pens receive visit
from this venomous reptile at times,
but in them he finds ugly customers to
deal with. Cattle likewise suffer by
his visits, and all who are unluckv
enough to receive his fangs meet instant
death. This species of the snake is
greatly feared by the negro, who never
can be induced, under any circumstances
to go within five miles of its habitation.

TERRIBLE DISASTER ON THE
TIGRESS.

The Arctic steamer ''Tigress," en-
ployed last year in the expedition to
Bafhn's Bay, in search of the Polaris,
met with terrible accident on the End
inst, returning to St. Johns from a seal
fishing trip. The intelligence, as brought
to st. Johns by the steamer Panther, is
as follows On the 3rd inst. the look
out on the Panther reported a steamer
apparently moving only under sail, and,
on approaching her, it was discovered
that she had her flags at half mast. The
captain Of the Panther went on board
and found her to be the ship Tigress, of
Polar fame. He was then informed by
the captain and officers of the latter YES
sci that on the day before, at ? o'clock
IN the afternoon, the steam boiler had
exploded, causing the death of twenty
one men and giving terrible shock to
the ship. At the time of the explosion
nineteen men had gone below after watch
and, as it was terribly cold, had turn
ed in" on the top of the boiler for the
sake of the warmth, and of course were
all scalded beyond recognition. The two
engineers were on duty at the time, and
were both killed. While the interview
between the captains and officers was ia
king place the survivors of the Tigress
crew were making collins in which to
place the remains of their unfortunate
comrades for interment, and the whole
ships company were evidently in great
grief and distress. The Tigress subse.
quently reached port without further ac,
cident.
