A Singular Occurrence--AC Child
Strangled by a Cat.
[Middleton IN, " Mercury.

hIuultIOu IN. L MtTCuTH.
A strange occurrence took place q
few mornings since in the family of
Mr. Silas Doloway, engineer in Bah
cock, Fuller d Co.'S new hat factory,
who occupies j. W. Canfield's house,
on Mulberry street, in this village
Mrs. Doloway is accustomed to leave
her babe, a little girl four months old,
on the bed upstairs while she does
her mornings work in the basement,
from where she could easily hear the
least noise. On the morning in ques-
tion she heard the little one growing
as usual, but finally noticed that the
sounds ceased, and shortly after
heard strange gurgling noise. Sup
posing that the child had got its head
under the bed-clothes and was suffo-
eating, 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 fighting
feebly with her hands. She caught
the child and shook it several times,
when it caught its breath and came
out all right. In few moments more
it would probably have been strangled
to death. Mrs. Doloway had to pull
the cat off the child, so eager was it
to remain. 1t had paw on either
side of the child's head, and had its
nose pressed deeply into the child's
mouth. The cat was instantly killed.

Paris Sensations.

Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
Do you remember the Man with the
Fork, who was one of the Partisan
sensations last winter? He has Just
had two rivals-one of whom, a pa
tient at the Hotel Dieu, in a fit of de-
lirium, seized and swallowed a porta-
BILE thermometer which a young med
ical student had incautiously left
within his reach. AS he took the
precaution of chewing it before he
swallowed it, he was relieved without
much difficulty, the broken glass be-
ing removed by means Of clotted milk
and emetics, and the quicksilver tax
ing care of itself The other incl
dent had a more tragic termination.
A little girl, who was playing with
one of those toy balloons which are
blown up by the breath, was in the
act of initiating it, and, drawing in
her breath rather suddenly, the col
lapsed balloon went down her throat,
lodging there, and causing the poor
little creatures death by suffocation
in very few minutes.

The BisOn-When it Disappeared from
Illinois.

That member of the bovine family to
which the American Indians and the
early pioneers gave the name of buffalo,
but which is not the genuine buffalo
(bOs 6ubatus) of zoology, but the bison
is now in fair way of extinction. Year
by year the Indians and hunters of the
Western mountains and plains are de-
stroying these animals by thousands,
and in very few years the bison will
be among the many extinct quadruped
tribes of this continent. Therefore,
whatever fact or history can be ascer-
tanned in reference to this peculiar and
once-numerous denizen of our Ameri-
can wilds, before he shall have entirely
disappeared, should be carefully re-
corded for preservation.
In q conversation, few days ago,
with Capt. Leonard G. Hugunin, one
of Chicago's oldest residents still sur.
viving-he came here from Oswego, n.
Y, in 1S33-he informed the writer
that, among his private records that
were lost in the great fire, were the
memoranda of many historical facts
and Indian traditions, which he had
obtained from. Billy Caldwell, the Sec
OHu uedu cIllel Oh une 1OUUaWattam1eS,
then over 60 years old and that, among
these memoranda, was one important
fact for natural history that he distinct
ly remembers, namely that in 1888, in
the course of an interview with the old
Chief, the latter informed him that
seventy years previous to that time
that is, in 1763-there was the severest
snow-storm and the heaviest fall of
snow that had ever been known east of
the Mississippi river that, throughout
the region now known as the State of
Illinois, the snow was from twelve to
fifteen feet deep; and that, among
other disastrous effects of that vista
ton was the total destruction of the
bison in this region, which, although
up to that time as plentiful here as
were the trees of the forest, persisted
by wholesale by being overwhelmed in
the snow, or by starvation.
He said that some of the elk and deer
also persisted in that storm, but that
many of these, taking refuge in the
timber, subsisted upon the browse of
hazel-brush and other shrubbery until
the snow melted and freed them from
their temporary embargo. -AndreD

A Tennessee Story.

A gentleman connected with the en-
gineer department of the Cincinnati
Southern railway gives us an amusing
account of most cruel case of impris-
onment at Huntsville, Scott county,
during the summer of 1852. The re-
markable prisoner, and the circumstan-
ces attending his cruel confinement,
were first brought to the notice of the
engineers by lawyer named Overton,
who was in that country investigating
some land titles. Being in Huntsville
one day, Overton's attention was at
tracted by the conversation of some fire.
auenters of an apple-brandy "mill. T"
The party were much excited over the
cruel and outrageous Imprisonment of
"one of our fellows" Mt the instance of
some wretch of a United States Mar
shall. Overtons sympathies were ex-
cited, and he inquired the cause and
circumstances of his imprisonment.
"Thar he is" said the spokesman of
the party, "over thar on the fence"
Overton looked across the street, and
beheld seedy individual, perched upon
the fence, leisurely whiting pine
single. The sympathetic lawyer APP
preached the prisoner, and inquired OF
him if he was in trouble.
Prisoner" Yes; put me in here
charge of licit 'stillin'"
O.-"And they keep you pretty
close ?"
Prisoner-"Y aas. Time bout half
out. Got transferred from Knoxville
Jail"
o." Who is your jailer?"
Prisoner" Jailer ? Ha'ant any. Car
ny the keys myself.
At this juncture the party from the
drinking shop had crossed the street,
and came up to where Overton and the
prisoner were talking.
"Yaas," said the spokesman, "d-n
shame. Them id Marshals had bet
ter not come about here no more. Come
over and have a drink.
And the whole party, prisoner in
cluded, adjourned to the "mill 3" and
took drink of brandy.
In few days Zone of the boys " OF
the engineer corps, who had heard of
this remarkable prisoner, visited the
Jail at Huntsville. The door stood wide
open, and a man was in the only room.
alone, hammering away at some sort OF
carpenter work.
In answer to the question if he was
the unfortunate person who was suffer-
ing the tortures of Imprisonment for
the crime of making few gallons of
eye-opener, he replied:
"Y-a-a-s. Got me in here" And the
suffering convict put on such look OF
distress that the man of transits and
targets said
"D-n shame. Come over and let's
have drink"
And over went the two, the prisoner
locking the door behind him.
The next day or two, two of the engi-
neer corps met this foul-used convict in
the woods, with gun on his shoulder
and lot of game over the other. In
answer to a question they got the ster
reply
"Y-a-a-s. Got me in here. 'Licit
'stillin'."
A few days more, and one of the en-
gineers met the oppressed individual
three miles from Huntsville, on his way
home to spend few days with his
family.
And you're the prisoner ?"
Y-a-a-s got me in here.
The facts herein are vouched for by
the gentleman who related them to us,
and we have no doubt of their substan-
tial truth. The circumstances reveal
an amount of cold blooded cruelty upon
the part of the citizens and officials of
Scott county rarely equaled in modern
fines - TIUff0noO0H Times

Bible Printing.

For more than two hundred years
after the art of printing was invented, nc
person was allowed to print anything IL
England without direct permission from
the Government. In 1886 decree was
made that no printing presses should
be set up in any place out OF London,
except at the two universities. No book
could then be published except by the
Stationers' Company; but soon after
ward special privileges were granted to
other persons. One man was permitted
to publish all the almanacs, another all
the law books, third all the school
books, and fourth all the Bibles.
Most of these exclusive rights were
abolished years ago. The one that actu-
ally lasted the longest was that which
gave monopoly of almanac publishing,
a legal decision having put an end to it
In 1775. The right, however, to pub
lish Bibles, is still allowed by law only
to the Queens printer and the Univer-
sity of Oxford. Although the law is a
dead letter." and has long been disre-
garded by publishers, yet for a great
many years every violation of it was
severely punished.
One result of the law was that the
persons who had this privilege of print
ing the Bible abused it greatly. The
copies they published were very care
lessly issued, and some important texts
were altered. The copy printed in 1868
contained the text, "Know We not that
the ml-righteous" Cinstead of "right-
eous'0 "shall inherit the kingdom of
God ?"
The monopolists having the power to
charge what they pleased, but the price
was so high that only the rich could
buy Bible. So there were few copies
sold, and those were so badly printed
that they were hardly worth having.
At last this unjust system was broken
down. Thomas Guy, shrewd book
seller of London, sent an agent to Hol-
1ald, who bought good type and fine
paper, and employed Dutch printers to
put together well printed Bibles.
These were carried to England and
sold in great numbers at a low price.
Other publishers adopted Guys innova-
ton, and the Kings printer began to
see that, like the Ephesian idol-makers,
his craft was in danger. He went to
law and followed the book-smugglers so
sharply that they were obliged to dis
continue the importation of the sacred
book.
But Thomas Guy was not to be de-
feated so easily. He went to the au-
thorities of the University of Oxford,
and by hard work, persuaded them to
sell their privilege. Then he brought
over to England Dutch workmen and
type, and began to issue large numbers
of excellent Bibles at low price. The
law was thus evaded, and it has never
since been really enforced.
OF course all these Bibles are not
printed at the University Press, but the
publishers, in order to be strictly with
in the law, obtain the permission of the
University.
1t is interesting to know that Thomas
Guy, who was the means of making
Bibles plenty and cheap in England,
acquired very large fortune, and that
he used it notably in founding hospi-
tai in Southwark, NOW part of Lon
don, that still bears his name.-Cona-

What Liquor Costs the Community.

From the official record of 1870, null
tiplied by four, bringing it down to this
time, it appears that the cost of slim
ulating drinks (alcoholic) in the United
States was, in round numbers, S., 94S,-
600, 900; time lost in retailing stimu-
lants, at 81 per day, for four years,
amounts to $408, 800, 600; value of time
of those whose lives 10000 in four
years. have been destroyed by strong
drink, at 50 per day, in the last four
years, S430, 600, 900; expenses for crime
committed, lawyers fees, and prisons
large share of which is chargeable di-
rectly or Indirectly to strong drink
$3.50, 900, 600; making in the aggregate
from these four sources, 81, 146, 800, 600.
This does not include the pauperism
and suffering directly and indirectly
from this cause.
The taxation for crime and pauperism
comes out of rlen who have no SYM
pathy with this branch of doing evil.
1t is true it yields some revenue to the
Government but what is this to the
unparalleled destruction of life, and
property, and happiness Let the peo-
pie look upon these figures and facts,
and then at the heavy burdens they are
bearing in all departments of business,
and inquire if they are able to stand
the satisfying of so expensive an appe-
tite, doing no citizen good, but sending
to premature grave 100000 persons
every four years. Let workingmen"
talk of the oppression of capital what
does this compare with the oppression
of the very thing they pay for by the 5
and 10 cents per drink ? Let Changers
talk of monopolies," what are they in
comparison to the whisky-monopoly

try.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.
