\ YOUNG mechanic recently got married
to the girl of his choice, and the happy
pair went to housekeeping. After the
honeymoon was over the young wife as
covered that her hubby's temper was none
of the sweetest, and that attempts at moili'
tying him by sweet smiles and kisses were
generally flat failures while his dander was
up; so, like a sensible young woman, she
resolved on another plan of action ana
soon had an opportunity to try it. Hupp!
was rather captiaus about his steak, ~
she made no excuse. It's tough sara
hubby, and its not cooked half enough!
The young wife smiled, but made no de-
tense. Then hubby got fearfully mad ne
Fitted his plate, and dashed ii on the tioor;,
with the remark; Curse that steak!
His wife raised up her plate, too, ana
dashed il on the stove, with the remark.
p" That's metz Hubby stared at the plate
at his wife then at the floor, and Said
=" Why, Eliza, you should not mind me: II
| am little hasty, / soon get over !"
And 50 he did.

The Ballard (Ky) NecS says While
Mr.. Joseph Terrell was sitting in his back
porch, about dusk the other evening, he
noticed two rats coming from under some
wood close by. Noticing something Pc
culiar about them, he paid close attention,
and discovered that they had straw in
their mouths, one rat at each end. The
rats went down toa little pond in the yard,
laid the straw down, took ii drink ot
water, picked up the straw and marched
back in the same way they went down,
Just before reaching the wood Mr.. Terrell
killed both rats and upon examination
found the larger and older rat had been
totally blind Mr. Terrell says the old rat
was very fat, and is satisfied the other
rats have been feeding him on young
chickens and turkeys, as well as watering
him. Mr.. Terrell voucheS fox the truth OF

Mr.. George Schumacher, who arrived in
town yesterday from Snake Valley, We
learn the following particulars: When
tho news of the Indian scare first reached
him he and his party went out q short

some Indians. They found the redskins
badly scared and the Chief, Kohnistar.

morning of the 10Th instant Murphy,
Cleveland and some thirty others rode
up and remarked the morning was cold.
bu: it would be warm enough before
long. They then declared their inten-
ton to hang ten of the Indians under
the protection Of Schumacker's party.
Their motive xas not given, as they
simply said they deserved hanging and
they were going to hang ten of them. This
rather summary proceeding was stopped
by Schumacher aud his party, who
wouldn't allow it, But for their deter
mined action Cleveland. Murphy 4 Co.
would undoubtedly have hung the IN
fortunate redskins. Mr. Schumacher
assures US that the Indians were per-
fectlv innocent of all attempt or intent
to get up an instruction, and when they

A mocking bird, An exquisite warbler,
owned by Colonel J. E. Elliott, came to
it, death in singular manner on Thurs-
day afternoon last. On that day. after
the Colonel had listened to its melodious
notes for some time, he retired to his
room for the purpose of writing. Having
finished his labors he again thought of
his pet, and went out on the piazza in
tending to feed it. Upon taking down
the cage he was shocked and grieved to
find the unfortunate little songster lying
upon his back on the bottom. its breast
and neck (from which the feathers had
been plucked) all torn and bleeding. and
its head twisted completely from its nat
ural position. A lady who lives in an
adjoining house explained the mystery.
She, while sitting upon her piazza. no.
ticed bird very much resembling a
mocking bird flying around and occa-
sional!y alighting upon the cage as if
wishing to communication with the other.
Suddenly as Pet came near the bars
the stranger dashed forward his claws,
caught its little victim by the breast,
seized the neck with its strong bill, and
suddenly letting go its hold on the cage
revolved round with lightning rapidity,
by which means the poor inmates neck
was as completely wrung as is that if
fat chicken by kitchen scullion. Both
the Colonel and his lady we're very much
attached to little Pet as they had
named it. The other bird belonged to
a species known as the " loggerhead."
and it is not q very generally known fact
that they invariably attack hooking
birds when in their vicinity, and always

they are bieAer pills indeed to the clergy.
Judge Routheir dismissed q case of the
kind at Sorsl last year on the ground
that . priest speaking from the altar
was not amenahle 10 the law for his
language. But the Court OF Revico re-
versed the decision and awarded costs.
The clergy naturally look with dread
upon laws by which their weapons Of
offence may be rendered powerless.
Moreover, the liberals are determined to
clip the claws they have found so
dangerous. They are favorable to the
abolition of the law e1empting church
property from taxation and are doubtful
of the question of titles. They are OPP
posed to farming out juvenile criminals,
and they look with a favorable eye upon
the Institute. 1t will be seen that should
the liberal party obtain ascendancy in
this province the effect upon the Church
would be a heavy material loss. The
claim of supremacy. then, had to be
sustained. at whatever cost, but it was
never imagined that the struggle would
be carried to that bitterest of all bitter
ends, an appeal to England.
This showing justifies the conviction
that Jesuitism in Canada is quite as in
dustrious in asserting its peculiar ideas
and purposes as it is in the United
States.

Location Of the Lick Observatory.

The site for the observatory and tele-
scope-one of the grandest enterprises
contemplated by the Lick trust-has
been decided upon by Mr.. Lick and His
new Board OF Trustees. The point Sc
lected is the summit of Mount Hamilton
i'll Santa Clarn county. The mountaia
is situated some twenty miles east of the
city Of San Jose, and It's base is now
easily reached by several good roads. As
a condition to the selection, Mr.. Lick
asks that the county OF Santa Clara con-
struct first class carriage road to the
summit OF the mountain, and he ex-
pressee his willingness to take bonds Of
the county, and advance money for the
purpose, il Necessary. to facilitate the
work. The altitude Of Mount Hamilton
il 4,44S feet, and the scenery from tho

turesque, vni..e the fact that its apex il
above tho reach Of fogs, renders it pecu-
liarly adapted to Astronomical observa-
tions. Professor Whitney states that
from its summit broader scope of vision
can be obtained than from any other
peak in the State. The San Jose papers
cordially indorse Mr.. Lick's proposition,
and if they reflect the local sentiment,
there 10 no doubt but the proposed con-
aition will be promptly complied with.
The donation for the observatory is $500

LIGHT BREAKING I'm UPON THE DARKNEss-s
TERRIBLE STORIES ABOUT THE SUSPECTED MUIR
DERER NOW UNDER ARREsT--ANoTHER ATTEMPT
TO BREAK JAIL.
CoNooRD. n. H.. Oct 2i.-LaPage, the sus-
pected murderer of the schoolgirl Josie Lang
maid, made another desperate attempt to es-
cape from the jail at this place, last night, and
was placed in irons. Thei conviction Of his
guilt is deepening and it s desirable to hold
him.
Terrible stories are told OF the past life of La
Page. Three young girls have stated that they
were chased by LaPage previous to the Penn
broke murder. His wife, who s described as a
woman heart-broken and worn out by grief, says
that about five years ago he knocked down, &C.
yereiy beat, ,ravshed and left for dead his sister
IN law. Previous to this he was arrested for
desperate fighting and escaped while his legs
were being tied. About two years ago he s said
to have gone fifty miles and outraged a cousin
and fled with horse.
Strong evidence has been gathered to connect
Larage with the murder Of the Ball girl, and
birch withes, such as he is an expert at making,
were found beside her body and also that Of Jo-
sic Langmad LaPage has been known to chase
girls in St.Albans, and his wife says that he has
made attempts to rayish his daughter, fifteen
years old, since living in Suncook, but was pre-
vented by her interference. She states that they
have all been afraid of their lives.
