a SURGICAL COLLECTOR.-A trouble
some murder case in Wisconsin has just
been settled by verdict at Elkhorn.
DR.. Martin is practcing physician at
Raymond, Racine county. His son, A.
p. Martin, otficiated rs the doctors col
lector. DR.. Martin attended farmer
named Derrick West, during spell of
sickness, and West disputed the bill pre-
sented by the son. West was ready to
stand a lawsuit or even death rather than
pay what he considered an exorbitant bill
for saving his life, and the collector went
at him with dangerous knife and killed
him. A. p. Martin was tliod for honi-
eide, a,d the jury called it manslaughter
in the second degree. After the verdict
had been pronounced, it was found that
one OF the jurors had expressed an opinion
about the case previous to the trial. On
this ground the verdict was set aside and
new trial granted. Martin was not
satisfied with the manner in which his
|
treated in that court, and fearing repe-
ttion Of the verdict there, he applied for,
and obtained change of venue to Wal
worth county. There Martin was found
guilty OF murder in the FIST degree. lie
did not like this verdict any better thar
the other; in TACT, it disagreed with hi,
ideas Of comfort infinitely worse. Tn,
case was appealed to the Supreme Court
which decided that the defendant cou}C
not be convicted of murder in the frs
degree after having once been found gull.

The court remanded the case back for Il
new trial. The next time the jury found
a verdict Of guilty Of man>laughter in the
third degree probably rs kind Of com
promise and to get rid Of the case. Mar
tin will have to be satisfied with thi,
opinion Of his surgical ability until he
can get hold Of another subject.

A FIENDIsH MOTHER. An old negro
woman, by the name of Brown, living
about nine miles south Of Coyington,
KY, had daughter, about twelve or
thirteen years OF age, who had been for a
long time bedridden with hopeless at
tack OF paralysis. Her mother, an incar-
nate tiend, growing weary OF the constant
care and trouble which the afflicted child
required at her hands, determined to put
her out o! the way, and selected the most
cruel and tOrtulug method that dcOa, ed
ingenuity could suggest-buning -ex-
pecung to conceal her crime under the
guise ot an accident. Having perfected
her diabollcal plans, about two week
ago She set about putting them into exc
cution. Placing the girl in u char near
the ire place, she began saturatlng the
head and clothing OF the almost helpless
cbIId with turpentIne that she had pro-
cured for that purpose. The girl strug-
gled with what power OF motion she could
command, knocked the bottle from the
hand ol her mother, and broke it, satur-
atlng the mothers clothing with the in
Aammable hud. In the struggle the
molner's clothing took fire from the fire.
place, aud she abandoned her terrible
CRIME to save her own lie. She ran and
threw herself into u stream near at hand,
but not until she was fatally burned. AT
the time it was supposed to be an accl-
dent, bat the monster woman Subsequent
~, when IN the agonies OF death from her
burning, revealed the facts above given.

PICKETT VS.. Crook EFT. Tho Su.
preme Court still adheles to its greatest
folly-the act which is fast bringing it
into contempt. remember long years
ago, in the city OF Pits burg, Pa, man
by the name of Barker a cha aeter some
what similar to Philosopher Pickett, was
put in Jail for like oiiense and 50 unjust
and unmerciful was tho court that the
people arose in their majesty and at their
first municipal election, elected bin
Mayor Of the city. They then proceeded
to the Jail and demanded his release in
the name Of the Commonwealth OF Penn
sylvanla and bore him in triumph, amid
the general rejoicing, to the City Hail,
where he was duly inauguiated as Mayor.
He served term with marked ability,
and was re elected to second term by
an overwhelming majority. The temper
OF the people Of California is getting to
be worked up to pretty much the same
pitch in the case Of Pickett. The time
will soon come when he will be looked
on as a martyr suffering under tyrannical
and unjust sentence, and they will raise
him beyond the power Of the Supreme
Court to molest. Crockett is getting to
be childish irom severe and protracted
aiiiicron and the other judges only de-
sired to hunor him in his peeyi,h petu-
ience. With half the idea Of the true
greatness possessed by Pickett, he would
not have dogned to notice tho act. - Yolo

WOLF GENERALsHIP. -- Our pioneer
method oi hunting wolves Is initiated by
the wolves Themselves, in India, by en-
cilcling II large section Of land ii Col.
Campbell tells the truth. Through a
telescope he saw ut IA distance small
herd ol anlelopes, and further ON a pack
Of wolves sitting together, apparently in
consultation as to the best mode of catch
ing the deer" animals. Soon five o..
the wolves marched oil and cautiously
stationed themselves in circle around
the herd, which did not perceive them.-
One wolf remaired at the original TIA
ton, and one crept up into the midst OF
the antelopes, causing them to run. But
the latter were soon met by one Of the
wolves, aud stating in an opposite drec
tion were met by still another, and SO on
ill they huddled together in fear and
stood in one place. At this stage Col.
Campbell interfered by a shot, which
scattered the wolves and relieved the an t.
elopes. This instance of animal ingenu-
ity is only one among thousands which
have been related, showing that the low
er animals have every. reasoning faculty
that man has, only in lower degroe.

WIDOWS VS.. WIDOW s.-The Los

woman who has once been married nj

who has been muchly married three or
four times, is always called Mr.. Smith {?
Mrs. Jones is widow-grass or proW-
dential-and she can never play herself
Off tor a maiden, but Smith, who has put
two wives into the graveyard and divorc-
ed the third, moves into an adjoining
neighborhood, parts his hair in the mid
die, and sets up for youth who never
promised TO love, honor and cherish a
woman. 1t is all right that Mrs. Jones
should have distinctive aupellation
which should prevent imposition, but is
it not equally right that innocent Mr..
Smith should write his name Widower
Smith in order to prevent any little mis-
understanding in regard t. his matrimo-

a SLOW HORSE.

Ifyou have any sympathy on hand for
which you have no particular use you
may as we'll bestow it upon certain cler-
gyman of New Haven, Connecticut
This clergyman had long wanted horse,
but being afflicted with want not en-
tirely unknown in his profession, the
want of money, has been unable to pur-
chase the desired quadruped. Recently,
however, he came into possession OF Il
fine horse without paying for it. The
clergyman has a friend, sporting gen
tleman, who remarked to him one day
that he had horse totally useless to him
as it was too slow on the road and that
he should receive the animal as a gift. go
To say that the reverend gentleman was
elated would be to express in the most
absurdiy inefficient manner his satislac-
tion and establishment. To get good
horse for nothing was a wonderful stroke
OF fortune, and to get a kind, stow horse
one with a deliberate clerical gait was
best Of all. The horse was sent to him
soon atterward, and its fine appearance
but added to the clergyman,s gratiiica-
ton. As soon as possible II carriage was
obtained and then the minister took the
reins, and drove out upon II popular av-
enue to give the staid horse an airing

SAVED BY a SPIDER.

The following singular escape from
death of Noah Hopkins is related by his
descendants, who vouch for the accuracy
of the incident Mr., Hopkins, over one
hundred years ago, resided in Dutchess
county, New York. After disposing OF
his property he joined the Susquehanna
company and went to live in the far
famed Wyoming Valley, Pa. The In,li-
ans from the lakes became very trouble
some and continued to roam in bands
through the white settlements, ravaging
their stock and crops. One night sud
den and unexpected attack was made on
the settlement 10y large band OF inluri-
ated savages, and the settlers fled for their
lives into the woods and mountains. The
Indians pursued them, their war-whoops
falling upon the ears OF the deienselesS
whites like the cries of wild beasts in
search of prey. After roaming about in
the darkness for some hours, Mr.. Hop
kins mblcd over a large log that lay
in his pathway, and finding it hollow,
crept into it. Here he lay for several
hours. The sun had arisen, and he was
debating whether he had better continue
his march over the mountains, when he
heard the footsteps Of his pursuers near
by and their subdued but animated con
vrrsation. He lelt that his doom was al
ready sealed, and the cold sweat oozed
from his body and brow. Weary with
their long search the Indians sat down
on the very log in which Mr.. Hopkins
was concealed, while their eyes peored
hither and thither, hoping to catch sight
Of some poor fugitive. Mr.. Hopkins
heard the bullets rattle in their pouches,
and gathered from their broken savage
tongue, mtermixed with English words,
| the Intelligence that some OF his friends
/ and neighbors had been captured and
slain. 1t was momeQt Of fearful anM
ETY.. Some of the Indians walked round
to the end Of the hollow log, and seeing
that it was hollow, stopped down and
looked in. Their companions were called
aod they all gathered round like hounds
with their game holed, as if ready to
shoot the moment it emerged. Tho In
dams seemed to be holding brief con
sultation. Mr.. Hopkins was just on the
point OF surreuderng himselfand begging
for mercy on the ground OF his many
kind acts IN former times to the Indians,
when his attention was arrested by u big
spider who was busily engaged in weay-
ing large and beautiful web right over
the entrance. He threw his threads from
side to side with great rapdity, SO that
when the Indians came to look in, they
too, seemed to notice this aelial work,
aud supposed Of course that no one could
DO concealed within. Soon after, they
disappeared. After remaining in this
cramped retreat rs long rs ho could en-
! dure, he came out, and wandered for
many days in tho wilderness, subsisting
upon nothing but the carcass Of II putrid
turkey which he found dead. Ills cloth
ing torn into shrcds, his body laceratcd
he came once more upon the dwellings
OF white men.-N Y lFcekiy.
