Can any of our sportsmen beat this
tough story from the Cdnadian Farmer
about man named Cangley, who went to
st. Mary's bay geese hunting. Seeing q
moose on the opposite shore he fred, and
at the same moment porpoise leaped from
the water, and the bullet killed both it and
the moose. The porpoise foated to the
shore, and the hunter used it as a raft to
paddle across to the moose. There he
found the buttet, after killing the moose,
had gone into hollow tree in which was a
store Of wild honey, which was flowing
through the hole made by the bullet
Reaching for what he thought was stick
to plug up the hole, he caught rabbit By
the leg. Rather startled, he threw it
violently from him, and struck coYey OF
eighteen patridges, kill-them all.

A few days ago Judge Handley, of Lu-
zerue county, rendered decision which
will be of general interest if it stands. 1t
seems that Fred. House, a minor, enlisted
and went to the war during the late rebel
lion. His local bounty amounted to $500,
and of this sum he sent home S245. Upon
the return of the young man his father re-
fused to give him the sum, on the ground
that, as he was minor, he had no right to
it. The Court ruled that bounty was not
wages, but gratuity, and as such the
father had no control over it. 1t also ruled
that where minor makes a contract for
his services on his own account, and his
father IS cognizant of the fact, and makes
no objection, there is an implied assent
that the son shall have his earnings, and
unless there is design to defraud the
fathers creditors, the earnings viii belong
to the son.

HENRY CLAY DEAN.

We were gratifed with visit last even
ing from that sterling Democratic ora
tor of the West, HENRY CLAY DEAN
formerly of Iowa, but now of Missouri.
Mr.. DEAN is a fine talker; he has clear
and very decided views on the politics of
the day. He thinks that it is time for
the Democratic party to quit its policy
Of trimming, and must make square
fight ON Democratic platform. The
GREELEY departure taught US bitter
lesson, and We ought to profit by the e1-
perience. Mr.. DEAN in speaking of JEFF
DAVIS letter in reply to BLAINE said,
that while looking at it in party sense
the letter might have beeu impolitic, yet
he admired and commended the spirit
which prompted Mr. DAVIS to write it.
He said that Mr.. DAVIS was an old man
rapidly approaching the grave, and that
while he had held many responsible po-
sltlons, not even suspicion had ever
rested upon his moral character. And
now occupying prescribed position with
forty millions of people arrayed against
him, the e1-Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives should condescend, in a
mean malignant manner, to cast aspGr-
sions upon his character, he was bound to
admire the spirit of the old man raising
his msnscled arm to repel the foul
charge and save the honor of himself
and family-all that was now left HIM
worth saving. Mr.. DEAN will remain
in the city tor several days.
