Some time in June last Mr.. George
Curtis, living on the Willamette river,
Oregon, discovered in the woods near
his place the antlers Of deer protrud-
ing from'an oak tree eighteen inches in
diameter. Mr.. Curtis had the tree cut
down. and sent it to the Centennial ex-
hibition. II is evident that at one time
the tree was forked, and the deer, in
rubbing his antlers against the tree,
must have been caught, and either died
at the foot of his involuntary hitching
post, or else broke away, leaving his
antlers. Time passed and tree grew, and
strange to say. so closely as to entirely
conceal the place where the fork hat
formerly been. giving !. the appearance
Of being solid tree with the antlers o
. deer growing cut Of iis side, rhi
curiosity has been photographed.

Extraordinary Dogs.

The Ottawa Citizen says that Rev. H.
J. Borthwick has two dogs that spend
the greater part of their time IN fishing.
His house is built on the bank Of bay
where the water has backed in from the
Rideau Canal, and the fish, which are
very plentiful-chub, bass and perch
come up within few feet Of the kitchen
doors.
The two dogs-one Scotch terrier,
and the other cross between Spaniel
and Newfoundland-com fishing
in the morning and spend the whole
day at it. The terrier stands on log,
and when a fish comes near him he
makes a snap at him with his teeth and
sometimes succeeds in catching his prey.
Frequently he gets 80 dizzy from watch
ing the fish that he tumbles into the
and rest himself before venturing on the
log again.
ne tAAtE upE thhSS tlIlCICut yam
he wndes out into the water until he is
all covered except bis head. and remains
very quIet until the fish comes. Ths
strange, part Of il is he never catches
anything. and when the fish nihble a
his nole he becomes so frightened that
lie leaps out of the W. ter. Yet thi:
sport has snch fascination FOR him iha
he rem,ins for hours at a time in th'
water, until he becomes 40 stiff he car

contracted rheumatic pains that make
him howl when he tries to get up afte

self The two animals are curiosity
and they afford considerable amusemen
to the family by their eccentricities.

The exhiIarators" OF Manchester were

of her citizens, commonly known as the
liquOr-dealcrs, have been in conflict with the
city authorities for some time past, in con-
sequence of the city ordinance requiring or
dnary-keepers to pay, In addition to their
license to keep an ordinary, license to sell
liquor. The dealers claimed that the license
of so in the first instance covered all the re-
quirements of the case, and gave authority
to keep an ordinary and to sell liquor with
out any further payment. This point has
been in allegiance for some months, until the
decision OF the Committee on Ordinances
on Friday night, which is in favor of the
liquor-dealers. For this cause that class OF
