A Le0D for Life.

From the Rochester Express, June a.
The stream known as Pine creek has long
borne the reputation Of one of the most
prolific of trout streams. During the latter
part of last week our townsmen Henry
Morse and William Kimball having received
favorable reports ofths May fishing, started
for their favorite summer quarters. After
half days fishing they filled their baskets,
and in capital spirits set out for their lunch
ing place. The spot chosen was ledge of
a precipitous bank Of rocks, shaded by a
giant hemlock tree about thirty feet above
stream, and bounded on all sides, save the
one facing the water and rather narrow
passage way, by an unbroken rocky wall
ten or twelve feet In height A sufficient
number OF trout were soon dressed the
lunch basket was taken from its place of
security, and blazing fire kindled to cook
the fish. But as the heat began to increase,
a colony of rattesnakes grew uneasy, and
determined to investigate the cause OF their
disturbance.
Kimble at this time had descended from
their elevated position in quest of some
Bordeaux, while Morse was busy cooking
the fish. The snakes, several In number,
had crawled meanwhile from their hiding
places and we're sounding the ominous
rattle, familiar to man and beast alike as
the certain precursor of danger ahead.
But the cracking of the twigs in the fire
deafened the sound. 1t was not until Kim
ball was climbing upward that he took in
the situation and apprised his brother
sportsmen of his danger. The snakes stood
coiled, and prepared for attack. Morse
sought hastily for way of escape, but the
reptiles stood in bis path, and, save the
deep pool far below him, he was hemmed
in on every side by prscipituous wall of
rock. His face blanched with fear, but his
resolve was soon taken, and, leaving rods,
luncheon basket, and we'll filled creels, he
sprang with a bound into the pool thirty
fesn tsss )W.
Ecsu nately, his decent was attended with
no more serious results than thorough
drenching, for the water was deep, and
being an expert swimmer, he found no diff
Guilty in regaining foothold on the opposite
shore, on less dangerous ground. Both
Morse and Kimball by this time concluded
they had had sufficient experience for one
day, and, without rods or fish baskets, with
the bottle of claret as their only consola-
tion, they lost no time in taking the nearest
route for their hotel.

Story Of q Cat.

Col. Stewart Wortley. an English officer,
tells the following story of cat whose ac-
quaintance he made during the Crimean
war: "After the French troops had taken
the Malakoff, was sent into it on duty and
found an unhappy cat baynoneted through
the foot and pinned to the ground. I took
her to my tent; she was carefully tended,
and every morning taken to the doctor to
have her wound attended to. Four or five
days after I was too III one morning to get
up, and puss came and scratched at my tent
door. took no notice, but not long after
the doctor came to say that mine was a
wise cat, for she had come to his tent and
sut quietly down for her foot to be examin-
ed, and have its usual bandaging. She was
watched to see what she would do the next
morning, but she declined wasting her time
scratching for me, and went straight to the
doctors tent and scratched there. She was
very affectionate animal, and 1t was alb
surd to see her following me all over the
camp with her tail carried stiff in the air."

Bearing upon and conlirmatory of
the charge against the late General
Cass, i herewith submit an editorial
taken from the Washington Star, an
Independent journal, and the ablest
and most influential one published in
the Capital:
'Gen. Lewis Cass, after Gen. Jack
son, was the great "Thundercr'' of
the party, Under jackson, Cass was
Secretary Of War. Cass' collection,
as extra allowances, illegally, of $6S-
100, and his organization of o compa-
ny for speculation in western lands,
arc notorious. We're they creditable !?
AS Secretary of War, Gen. Cass had
advantages which no mere citizen
could have. He had opportunities of
securing for his company a monopoly
OF the most choice tracts of land; to
learn when they would be put upon
the market; to secure them and then
to raise the price, and to sell them to
purchasers forced to buy. 1t is well
known that in western land specula-
tons Cass amassed his ample fortune.
Did Cass' crime elicit from the
Democracy any manifestation of
horror-even of Indignation? Did
Gen. Jackson demand his punish
ment? Did not both, i'm effect. in
dorse and approve it? Gen. Jackson
subsequently, made Cass minister to
France. The Democracy male him
first Senator of the United States.
next nominated him as their candi-
date for the Presidency, and then
made him Secretary of State. Under
the Democracy .Belknap would be in
the line of promotion"
| have to submit to an intelligent
public that the statements of these two
great journals, backed up as they ev-
identity are, by the official data are
entitled to as much credit, at least. as
the simple denial of the OttumwaI
Democrat. Very respectfully,
