A Minnesota Wolf Story.

Mr.. Oliver Siers, a young man who
lives about five miles south of Rochester,
Mimi, says the Post of that place, had a
thrilling adventure Sunday night, Dec.
20. He was going home rather late in
the night, and in walking along a track
through some timber he met big wolf
in the path, which, instead of running,
stopped in iron. of him aud showed fight.
The wolf snarled and parked and was
quickly reinforced Ivy others, till Mr..
Siers was surrounded. He didn't like
TIE surprise party who had so uncere-
moniously invited themselves bit, and,
having revolver about him, lie fired
into his guests and hit big fellow, who
yelped and fell dead. That broke up
the party. He could not see another
wolf, but could hear them scattering
through the brush. He then went on
toward home, and few feet farther along
he was met by couple more of the
beasts, and had the good luck to shoot
another of them. He was then within q
few rods of his home, which he reached
without being further molested.

An Infant Attacked by a Cat.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says that as Mr.. Daniel Jones
family, in James City, Va, was break
fasting in the kitchen about twenty-five
yards from the main dwelling, one of his
daughters went to look after Mrs. Fanny
Linmans baby, three weeks old, that had
been left snugiy covered up and slowed
away in the enjoyment of its usual morn
ing's nap. The little infant was found
screaming convulsively and covered with
blood. Apet cat, that had evidently run
Mt the sound of footsteps, was found un-
der the bed, blood being upon his throat
and forelegs. Two thoughts at the same
time occupied the minds of all present
one to care for the baby, the other to go
for the cat. The cat order was prompt
ly obeyed "Off with his head" The
baby, being washed, presented CHASTITY
appearance. One arm, shoulder, face,
eye, and one side of the head were ter
rlbly scratched, and the skin upon the
head so torn and lifted as to expose the
skull. DIR. Hankins was called in, and
the little fellow is now doing well, with
prospects of recovery.

A Southern War Secret Revealed.

Hon. Alexander II. II. Stuart and
Capt. John n. Ope are rival candidates
for seat in the Legislature of Virginia,
and made speeches at a political meeting
held in Staunton on Monday. A CORE
spondent of the Richmond Dispatch
says that among some personal remin-
iscences related by Mr.. Stuart in his
speech was one connected with the
peace negotiations of the late Confeder-
acy that has never been made public.
He read note from Hon. Judah p.
Benjamin, dated March %, 1864, asking
him to come to Richmond for an inter
view with President Davis on business,
the subject of which was too important
to be committed to paper. He went,
and was informed by President Davis
that the Confederate Congress had voted
secret service fund of So, 100000 in
gold to be used in creating peace SEN
timent at the North. After looking over
the whole country the President had
selected Mr.. Stuart as the man for the
mission. He was to sail for Nassau and
thence for Halifax, and there, from the
border of Canada, could operate on
prominent men. The fund of SO, OOO,-
600 was to be ut his absolute disposal,
and he was not to be required to furnish
vouchers for its disbursement. Mr..
Stuart declined the tender, and G. T..
Clay, of Alabama, and two other gentle
men were appointed. The Greeley
correspondence and the "To whom it
may concern" of President Lincoln fol-
lowed this mission.
