ABOUT KINKS.

One sunny morning in summer, down
the pathway, still sparkling with the
dewy moisture, came stealthily moving
the long, 1.-the form of mink. Her fur
looked worn and rusty when the sun
light struck her as she shulked between
the tussocks of grass. Occasionally she
halted to look about her, alert for any
thing eye could see or ear could hear );
but hearing nothing but the sweet notes
of a song sparrow and the complaining
cry of the cat-bird among the alders, she
again moved on. AS she reached the
muddy edge of the brook, she trod more
daintily; then, winding among the pick
erel weeds, swan down stream, hardly
disturbing the water, only making a
long, wedge-shaped wake as she stole
into the shadowy edge of the brook.
Suddenly she disappeared under the
water, but soon came up, struggling
with something that swayed and pulled
her about, disturbing the quiet stream,
and sending muddiness down with the
current. But she bore the almost IN
manageable wriggling eel (for this it
was) to the stone wall and drawing her
self and burden up out of the water on
the large stone, re-adiusted her hold,
and seized the creature back of the
head. Then, bracing herself to darw
the blood, the thrashing, struggling eel
grew gradually weaker and weaker, until
it looked perfectly limp and Ifeless.
Then she jumped upon the wall, drag
glng this eel, longer than herself, up
through the grass, taking a different
and more concealed way than the one by
which she came, and soon disappeared
altogether.
In the thiek-banked wall of the barn
on the hillside she had her young; and
after they grew large enough to require
something more substantial than natures
first provision, the mother used to bring
them fish of different kinds-eels, ducks
and Like prey. So slyly and stealthily
did she keep herself, that she was not
seen until the young were half grown,
and looked like little fawn-colored wea-
sells, when she betrayed herself by
bringing this food which impeded her
movements. By travelling the same
way SO many times she grew bold.
These minks are very destructive to
fish, and when the brook is low they
can be tracked for long distance by the
dead cells, pickerel, sinners, and some
times trout, lying along the bank, the
mink only sucking the blood and leav-
ing the fish unmutilaSed. One autumn
some small sinners, meant for bait in
pickerel fishing through the ice, were
kept in an old tub, set in spring near
the brook, and one night all these fish
were killed by mink, who left them
laid in row on the ground. They
looked precisely as if some person had
SO arranged them. But through the
back of each fish, near the head, were
four tooth-marks, this being frequently
the only mark the mink makes on its
victim. old and NeW.

A FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE.
A Man Beaten Down by Horse and
Crushed Under His Hoofs---Exhibi-
ton of Friendship to Wounded
Man by Dog.

3gOne of the most remarkable Instances
of manning recorded in this rigion, oc-
Cured in the stables Of the st. Paul
House, on Thursday night The pro-
erietor, Mr.. Charles Faber, has two
hostlers employed, and on the evening
mentioned, one of them, named Joseph
Manner. went to the stable at the usual
hour for the purpose of grooming the
horses. Nothing further was heard of
Manner that night, and although his
absence from the house was noticed,
Mr.. Faber presumed he had retired for
the night, and paid no further attention
to the matter-little dreaming that a
terrible scene was being enacted upon
his own premises, and froGa which poor
Manner finally emerged badly mangled,
and it is feared, MORALLY wounded.
It appears from the account which
Manner was able to give yesterday
morning, that he proceeded to the stable
according to his usual custom on Thurs
day night, accompanied by watch dog
owned by Mr.. Faber. The horses were
cared for, but one of them seemed I'M
easy and little vicious, and when
Manner stopped to arrange the horses
straw bedding, he either slipped and
fell, or was struck down by the fore
feet of the animal, and while in that
position he was crushed and trampled in
a terrible manner, but is unable to give
q detailed account of his experiences
during the night, having undoubtedly
been rendered unconscious by his
wounds. The dog, however, seems to
have remained with him faithfully dur
ing the entire night, keeping the horse
away from the stall where Manner had
laid after receiving his painful injuries
the horse having broken his halter
during the struggle, and the dog taking
mis- place in the stall. Yesterday morn
ing about o'clock friend of Manners
went to the stable. and soon afterward
discovered him lying upon the floor I'M
conscious, and covered with blood. He
attempted to step to his assistance, but
the dog refused to give his consent until
after repeated persuasions, during the
progress of which he gradually cane to
the conclusion that no harm was intended
to his human charge, and Manner
was taken into the house and surgical
aid summoned.
It was found upon examination that
no less than eight ribs were crushed in
by the horse-five on one side and three
on the other. His head and face are
are also badly bruised and disfgured,
and it was feared yesterday that the in
juries must ultimately prove fatal.-&.

FAITHFUL DOGS.
They Warm, Feed and Protect Lost
Child.

Yesterday morning, says The Sedalia
(Mo.) Democrat, we gave an account OF
child wandering away from home on
Thursday last, accompanied by two dogs.
The whole neighborhood had turned
out and searched night and day without
success, at the time we wrote the account.
The following is copy of the hand
bills struck off and circulated
LOST BOY ITO THE PUBLIC.
Yesterday afternoon, William Nor
man, my son, left my residence, five
miles from Lexington, on the Salt Pond
road, and was last seen on the road to
town. He is five years of age, wore a
dark wooden coat, dark jean pants, patch
ed on the knees, and was followed by
two dogs one black, and the other of
dark yeIlowish color.
Any information regarding his where
abouts will be thankfully received, and
will relieve the anxiety of mother and
father. VIM. A. SMITH.
Lexington, Mo-, April 9Th, 1875.
From Mr.. M. Carroll, the popular
baggage master of the Lexington pas
senger train, we learn the following par
ticulars of the discovery of the child
yesterday morning, which certainly shows
the wonderful sagacity and faithfulness
OF the dogs which accompanied him.
AS in our account yesterday, the last
seen of the child was in fence corner
with his dogs. From there it seems he
wandered into the woods belonging to
Judge Woods, eight miles from Licking
ton and three miles from his home
Here, probably, night overlook the little
wanderer, and darkness closed in upon
him, cold, tired and hungry, with none
to aid him but his faithful four-footed
companions. The nights at this time of
the year are too severe for robust man
to be exposed, and certainly a tender
child, almost an infant, would surely
succumb to the biting temperature.
But there is watchful Providence
above, and his interposition of this case
seems miraculous. The faithful dogs,
with an instinct that seems equal to
human intelligence, went to work and
scratched together a bed of leaves
Into this the boy crept, and then the
Intelligent animals laid down, one on
each side of him, and kept him warm
through the night with the heat of their
bodies.
Morning broke with the boy safe, his
shaggy guardians at their post.
Though rested and refreshed, he was
almost famished with hunger. Again
the wonderful instinct of the faithful
dogs was equal to the emergency. They
sat out foraging, chased and killed a
rabbit and brought it to their young
charge, laying it at his feet. The boy
eagerly ate of the raw meat, and when
discovered was busily engaged in ap-
peasing his hunger.
When the party who discovered him
endeavored to approach the child, the
dogs became exceedingly ferocious, and
would not let one of them approach
him. The boys father and dogs master
had to be sent for before they could get
the child from his noble protectors.
The Joy of the parents can easily be
imagined, and we will guarantee to say
that all the wealth of Lafayette County
would not purchase one of these dogs.

THE BEECHER BUSINESS.

Since the conclusion of the great trial,
Beecher has been the recipient of very many
marked attentions by his congregation as we'll
as ministers of other denominations. His
salary, as pastor of Plymouth Church, has
been ostensibly raised from $4,000 to $780,
900 for the present year, though this action is
merely plan resorted to by his flock for the
purpose of raising funds to defray the expen-
ses of the trial. In support of the resolution
raising the above sum, Fletcher Raymond,
who introduced it to the meeting, said the
congregation must stand by their pastor in
this crisis, as the reputation Of their wives and
daughters was at stake-a proposition that
can hardly be contradicted. And even with
the sustaining influence Of Plymouth Church,
Mr. Beecher's innocence is not clearly estab-
lished, though Tilton may have failed to es'
tablish his guilt. BY the way, according to a
mass Conformation on the subject, invited by
the New York Herald, from every State in
the Union, it seems that the faith in Beechers
innocence is stronger in South Carolina than
among the various classes consulted in any
other State.
Among the side issues to the case, the most
important is the action for slander brought
by Beecher against Frank Moulton. Moul-
ton is clamorous for the trial to take place,
while it is quite probable that the plaintiff
will do all in his power to stavc it off. Moul-
