NEWSPAPER.
The new year, concentrating the compile.
ton of the first century OF our Independence
and witncssn g the election of president and,
for the first time In our history, an entire ma
tional house of representatives, Will be one OF
splendid possibilities both to journalism and
the country,
THE GLOBE VIII avail Itself Of the former, by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and full !;
by impartial comments on the news OF the
hour by candid, honest discussion OF the Is
sues OF the day by tull reports OF local occur
ronces, and correspondence both local and
general; by agricultural readings, market re-
ports ana by selections both grave and gay
In word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE live newspaper, indispensable TO the
farmer and business man, to the politician and
student, TO the Office, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly In store fol- it, we shall on our part,
as In times past advocate the principles and
policy OF the republican party, as we under
stand them and, to that end, we shall labor to
make ii better and purer by combating its
errors and exposing the wrong.doers in It's
ranks We shah favor and strive for real ad
ministrative reform, n sueedy return to specie
payments, an honest maintenance of the ma
ions pltghted fatth,a purer and better politics.
a faithful and economical administration OF the
government, municipal, state and national, and
shall support only honest, capable men for
office.
as an earnest OF the future we can only point
10 our course In inc past. and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
dcavur To make THE GLOBE better and better,
ana more and more worthy or support with
| each succeeding month. What The GLOBE
has been during the less than three years OF its
existence Is well known, that IL has been fully

A Canadian Woodchopper's Fight with
Lynxes.


JAMES CALwELL, of Fort COulonge,
Pontiac, Canada, thus describes recent
adventure, as follows
started for Mr.. Geo. Brvson's shanty
to do piece of work had agreed to do,
and on my way back to the shanty l got
lost. After leaving Coulonge kept the
main road as far as Mr.. Armstrong;
hotel, then, wishing TO take a short cut
through the woods, l put on my snow
shoes and struck north, thinking that l
would reach the shanty about five O'Clock
p. M, but after travelling for some two hours
after night felt assured l was lost, and
being much fatigued and hungry made
up my mind to remain in the woods till
morning
After cutting some dry wood with my
axe, which was lucky enough to have
with me q had my shanty knife that had
often proved friend to me before), /
made some shavings, but when began TO
search for match to light the fire none
despair. But feeling that fretting would
do Inc no good, l commenced tramping a
hole in the snow, and then procured some
spruce branches. After getting a sufficient
quantity gathered, placed them in the
i1plC udd tulIipCtt. L tHCu put my SAoW-
shoes under my head for pillow, and
taking my overcoat and putting it over
me, went TO sleep, but after being asleep
for some time, | woke up in a great fright.
heard some most dreadful noise, like
that of child crying, but on listening l
knew it To be the cry of lynx.
Being afraid OF it attacking me, l
crouched down in my couch as low as
Ia lint; in, mi 7 a,,J
the cry of another lynx answering, and so
they kept up their noise for over thirty
minutes, when, as l suppose, they smelt
me. They then began to approach me,
circling around as if to take me by sur
prise. | rose to my feet, and taking my
AK in hand, determined to sell my life as
dearly as possible. In an instant one
sprang at me, but was lucky enough to
put an end to his fighting with blow on
the head from my ak. But while en-
gagged in combat with the one, the other
sprang on my back, and not being able to
use my AK, l endeavored to pull out my
knife, but my hand was so cold that
dropped it in the snow, so | had to use
my hands as lively as possible to make it
release its hold, but before could master
1t, it had all my coat and pants torn off
me, and my back SO scratched as TO make
me feel faintish After fighting for about
thirty minutes l succeeded in choking it
with much trouble. After the fight was
over put on my overcoat and got my AK
and knife, determined not to Sleep any
more that night. When morning came
skinned the brutes, and then put on my
snow-shoes, and retraced my tracks till /
reached a farmers house, where got my
breakfast and pair OF pants to take me
to Coulonge, where l purchased a suit of
clothes from friend and got my wounds
AIRED for.
