Close Quarters With a Bear.

The Alexandria CMinn.) Post gives
the particulars of hand to hand fight
between Mr.. Eli Archer and black
bear, at Lake Mary, in which Mr.. Arch
er came out second best. Mr.. Archer
had fred two bullets into brl1in, when
they came to close quarters. The con-
test was short one, when Mr.. Archer
precipitately retreated. He received
some very severe injuries, one of his
hands being badly lacerated and cash
an inch long cut through his upper lip,
besides his clothes being nearly all torn
off. He would undoubtedly have been
killed but for his dog. Several of his
neighbors went out next morning and
found the bear had died during the
night from the effects of the shot he re-
ceived from Archer's gun.

Dear woman, in the dream of life,
Adorned with every winning art;
AS mother, daughter, sister, wife.
She melts the soul, she charms the heart
Without her, wha. were lordly man?
rainless cloud-a iruitless tree
A world without sun-a plan
That ever incomplete must be-
Her fost'ring care, devotion love,
Seem inspirations from above.
In childhood's hour, beside her chair,
She calls the fragile form:
She clasps her tinny hand in prayer,
Safe sheltered from the storm. at
Yet man, ungrateful man, the dart
OF falsehood hurls with skill; $3.50
And when he's won woman's heart
He seeks its love to KILL
Her lot is to be tried though pure
To sigh, to suffer and endure.
Oh, mothers of race unborn,
Ills yours 10 speak those grand deere es
That herald in the promised morn,
The waiting worlds Hesperides.
Ye are the moulds of heralds strong
Who guard and glorify our lives;
The seas ii song, shall roll along
Beneath the splendor of your smiles.
The beautiful and good shall reign,
The sinless Eden bloom again.

WESTERN UNION RAILROAD.
Annual Report Of the Operations of the

Annual Report Of the Operations of the
The annual report of the Western
Union Railroad has just been publish

operations Of the road during the past
year. The line is controlled by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail
road Company through the ownership
OF 81, OO1 600 Of it's Sd, O0O,0 600 Of stock.
Its road extends from Lake Michigan,
at Racine, southwestward 212a miles to
Island, ILL.,, and was not changed in
length during the year 1874, for which
the last report is given. At the close
OF that year its equipment consisted of
81 locomotives Gall coal burning), IL
frst-class passenger cars, l sleeping
car, l business car, baggage, mail and
express cars, 416 box and caboose, 81
stock, 80 flat, 48 coal cars-in all SCI
train cars, and two service cars, to wit:
a derrick and a pile driver car. The
original cost Of the road is charged in
the general account at 100000 to
which are added charges for improve
ments and extensions amounting to
about million more. It is represented

Frauds i'm Canned Goods.
From the New York World.

The frauds in canned goods extend
to every branch in this trade, since the
manufacture now includes almost every
kind of meats or fruits in general use.
In pursuingthe examination of samples
the cannin aof CLAIMS is not of the most
importantg the trade in this line is
very large, Out of seven specimens
taken at random the lowest amount of
solid contents Of pound can was 7a
ounces, no liquid, and the highest 81
ounces solid contents, no liquid. In
the same number of two pound cans the
poorest sample contained 13a ounces
solid contents, no liquids, and the
In the packing of salmon the results of
examination have been the most favora-
BILE of any, the average being nearly up
to the standard, and in one or two sam
Piles the one pound cans contained c7er
II ounces solid contents. In the one
pound cans of prepared Holsters the
same fairness in preparation was found
in the average, although in the two
pound cans there was great falling off
the poorest sample giving 81 ounces
solid contents, and the best "a ounces
solid contents.
One of the most important articles in
use is canned or condensed milk.
Owing to the absolute necessity OF this
kind of goods being fully up to the
standard, and also from the rivalry
thus engendered, there has been fewer
complaints concerning this kind of
goods than any lately examined was 49,
ounces solid contents in pound can,
and the highest, Is ounces solid con-
tents in can of the same weight.
Careful examination of seven differ
ent specimens of canned mushrooms
revealed the fact that the variation in
she solid between the ightest and the
heaviest was 1-8 ounces or about IL IL
per cent, and further that the difference
between the solid contents simply drain
ed of the water and after they have
been squeezed dry varies from 2 to 234
ounces, the poorest specimen after
squeezing gave 7-8 ounces solid con-
tents, and the best 3-S ounces solid
contents.
Another article of large consumption
belonging to the home trade is canned
corned beef. Although this article has
been but lately introduced, the frauds
in packing are already extensive and
notorious. The examination of num-
Der of cans purporting to contain GER
tain quantities of corned beef resulted as
follows: One six-pound can, weight,
gross, pounds 1 ounce, weight Of
can 49, ounces, net contents,
IS pounds 81 ounces-short,
49, ounces one four pound
can, weight, gross, pounds / ounce,
can 10 ounces, net contents 3 pounds z
ounces-short, 9 ounces; one 2-pound
can, weight, gross, 2 pounds 2 ounces,
can 8 ounces, net contents l pound 10
ounces short, ounces. So extensive
has this evil become that to keep tae
trade from being destroyed the can
packers have called a convention. which
will meet at Philadelphia on Tuesday
next, and at which some uniform meth
cd of packing will be decided upon.

of the losses growing out of the disas-

last winter. The losses by banks and

A Dogs Ken,orse.

Dtluk dCCuOUOlACO w Wh1h OuU OGlOIG
breakfast with two sky terriers, it was
my custom to wash their feet in tub
kept for the purpose in the garden,
whenever the weather was wet. One
morning when took up the dog to car
ry him to the tub, he bit me SO severe
II that I was obliged to let him go. No
sooner was the dog at liberty than he
refused food, declined to go out with
any of the family, and appeared very
detected, with distressed and unusual
expression of countenance.
On the third morning, however, upon
returning with the other dog, found
him sitting by the tub, and upon COM
ing towards him heimmediately jumped
into it and sat down in the water. At
ter pretending to wash his legs, he
jumped out as happy as possible, and
from that moment recovered his usual
spirits.
s"There appears, in this instance, to
have been clear process of reasoning,
accompanied with acute feeling, going
on in the dogs mind from the moment
he bit me until he hit upon plan of
showing his regret and making repara-
ton for his fault. I evidently occurred
to him that I attached great impor-
lance to this foot-bath, as if he could
convince me that his contrition was sin
cere, and that he was willing to submit
to the process without murmur, I
should be satisfied. The dog, in this
case, reasoned with perfect accuracy,
and from his own premises deduced a
legitimate conclusion which the result
justified. London Spectator.

Silver RESUMPTION.

DR.. I.inderman states that the Treas
ury has now about Sc, 600, 600 IN silver
coin on hand. It is estimated that dur
ing the months of July and August
about 100000 of silver fractional
pieces will be coined, which will use
about 371 tons Of silver. It is esti-
mated at the Treasury Department that
if the crops should turn out well it will
take about $40, 900 Of silver frac-
tional coin to permanently substitute
silver for fractional currency, as con-
templated by the act of January last.
and, if the crops should fail and bust
ness should not be on a prosperous
basis, that 100000 OF silver coin
will be necessary. The opinion at the
Treasury, however, is that, FROM the
present outlook, it will be feasible to
substitute silver for fractional paper
currency during the coming fall.

Thus, though there was slight de-
crease of 1.3 per cent. in gross receipts,
the large decrease OF 12a per cent. in
working expenses so much more than
balanced it that there was an increase
of no less than 81 per cent. in the net
earnings, and notwithstanding the in
crease of quarter in the annual inter-
est charge, the surplus more than
doubled, growing from $4,000 in 1873
to $110, 900 in 1874. This surplus was
equivalent to q per cent. on the capital
stock. No dividend has ever been
made, but there was in 1874 an expen-
diture of 81, 1916 for new equipment.

y ocean, near new -Zrffiand. A few
days later the Boston Bark, Della NJ.

vessels were received in this city till

story in regard TO them. At n Of

the sole survivor of the three crews

they had become becalmed in the
vicinity o Aucklanl Islands and
had laid there together several days.
They were bearded one night by
cannibals, who came in large num-
bers, overpowered the crews, plum
dered the ships and scuttled them.
The men were carried prisoners to
the shore and furnished food for the
horrible feast of their captOrs. No

Wallace were attacked by Il band of
Cheyenues, about FIVE miles south of
Buffalo, on the Smoky Hill Division.
The troops defended themselves well
but were outnumbered and compelled

closely followed by the Indians. a
number of the latter were killed or
wounded. Three soldiers and five
horses were killed. On arriving at
Buffalo, the commanding officer at
once telegraphed TO Hays, and a train
of FIVE cars filed with soldiers and
their horses, were sent TO their relief.

the band, but it was doubtless quite
