A Sailors Sleigh-R

Detroit Free Press.
A sailor, named John Bates, hired
a horse ard cutter Tor turn around
the city Of Detroit, and he had not
been out over fifteen minutes when lie
came back 10 the barn, leading the
horse, and said that the cutter was
down there somewhere" in About a
Hundred pieces. He did not want to
pay its fall value, and being taken
before justice. he was asked to state
his case.
"Well, you know" he commenced,
as he rolled his quid TO the other
cheek, Il chartered that craft for a
crlise around lown."
"Yes.n
81 got aboard, battcned down the
hatcaes, and gave the horse a free
sheet. He wanted TO mn dead be-
fore the wind, but | hauled him up,
cased off the booms a little, and got
the wind on the quarter
Then he went, did lie ?"
"Yes, sir, he fuked. We passed
Point Betsey flying, and though |
saw other craft taking in sail, | kept
the topgaliant sail hung out and kept
her steady"
do you mean the horse ran
away p inquired the justice.
"Yes, sir, do. | threw the wheel
over, took a pull at the halyard aud
hauled away at the sheets, but she
was pointed out to sea, ind old Davy
Jones couldn't have swung her a
point. | tried to shorten sail. but
she rolled in so much sea over her
bows that she loundered.
"The cutter was smashed, you
mean"
Eyes, sir, she went down stern
first, and went overheard and was
picked up by steam barge wearing
blue buttons, who charged me with
scuttling the craft. | want to do the
fair thing, Captain, but I'm blowed il
this ere skipper ought to send out
craft loaded by the head and no in
surance on the cargo"
He finally agreed to paw a sum
satisfactory to all parties, and when
he handed over she money! he re-
marked
"Well. | suppose | can anchor up
and forge ahead. | havn't dropped
anchor in this kind Of a harbor for
ten years before, and | am going 10

The Polar Bears Cunning, !.

According to the Esquimaux the seal
constructsits abode beneath the aurface
of the ice in such a. manner that il can
enter it from the water below; mere the
young seal passes its infancy, and when
the returning heat Of Summer has de-
stroyed its igboo, or dwelling. the young
seal is old enough to take care of itself !;
but this mode of lodging its youth be-
meath the ice is we'll known to- The bear,
who, with his keen scent, esoon, detects
the whereabouts of the. seals nursery,
and, in order to gain entrance, makes
spring and comes down heavily on the
top of the igloo, crushes it in,e and i'm
mediately seizes the young seal with its
paw, ,Hereit might, be supposed the
hungry bear at once devours its prey
but 30, it is far too wary to do SO; it
knows fun well that where baby is,
tthere must oflnecessityn,bs q mother,
and that she will q be- in search of heI
darling; therefore, the bear scrapes the
snow away from the seal hole, and, hol
ding the young seal BY the fippers, al
lows it to founder about, and when 1tht
mother approaches the bear slyly draws
the young seal toward it until the ole
one is within, reach, when he seizes hel

shaft as the upper Barnesville seam,
which is the Cumberland seam Of Guern-
sey, Noble and Washington Counties
If few feet had been bored below the
bottom of the shaft without finding the
Wheeling seam, we might have serious
doubts. in regard to finding it at all. AT
Somerton, in Belmont County, its hori-
zon was passed through in boring, and
no coal was found. In several counties
between Meigs and Belmont it is subject
to great changes, and it often disappears
altogether. There are certain areas
where it is continuous and UNIFORM
where shaft might be sunk to it, with,
q strong santecedent probability OF find
ing the seam in good development; but
as rule it is not safe to sink shaft to
find this or any other seam of coal in
Ohio, without first making trial boring.
Besides the seam supposed to be the
upper Barnesvilie, Or Cumberland, seam,
mined by Mr.. Jones, near Darlington.
and by Mr. Mehl, on Negro Run, there
are two well-defined seams higher up in
the hills-one about 100 feet above
Mehrs seam, and the other about 70
feet higher. Both of these have been
