A Chance for Inventors.

A locomotive man-eatcher is adver-

we suppose, development from the

eOw-catcher is areasonably efficient con-

practically only as basis of suits for
damages against railroad companies;
and often more valuable thus than they
ever were or could have been, had they
never made The acquaintance Of the cow
catcher. 1t will be interesting to know
what kinds of devices will be offered to
the Russian Government. We have
in mind a considerable class of
inventive geninses ON this side Of

would take great delight in de-

How Was This Toad freed?

A remarkable incident occurred at
Brown & Halls saw-mill last Saturday,
whilst pine log was being sawed up
| into lumber. The outside slab and one
board had been cut off, and while the
workmen were turning over the log
they were surprised to see large toad
poke, his head out, of hole in which he
was Embedded, and where he had bare
ly escaped being cut up by the saw.
How the stranger got there is a mystic
ry, as he was completely encased in the
wood, with no possible means of ingress
or egress. As the log was the fourth
or fifth from the butt of the tree, his
position must have been at least fifty
or sixty feet from the ground, and he
has, no doubt, grown up with it from
infancy, being, probably, hundreds of
years old. The animal was quite Fat
and nearly as large as mans hand.
BE was perfectly blind, but when taken
from his bed he made use of his limbs
to crawl away. The tree was perfectly
sound, with the exception of a decayed.
spot of about a foot IN length below the
hollow place in which he was Embedded.
