This is an action Of trespass for a truck wagon,
that is. an action to recover seventy-fve dollars,
the alleged value of a truck wagon. wrongfully
taken by the defts and converted to their own use
The wagon was seized and sold upen an execu-
ton for debt. The plf, claims that such property
is exempt by statute from attachment and seizure.
Truck wagons are so exempt, but the defts.,
claim that the wagon in question was not Of that
character. The question to be decided therefore,
is whether the wagon was truck wagon, or
carriage of different kind. 1t had been used
principally, according to the testimony, as a
stage wagon and for carrying the mails. The
parties live in Albion. Under the instructions
given by the Judge, the jury found that it was
not a truck wagon, and gave their verdict for
defendant accordingly.

COMPARISONS are OdlOns.

The parties in Washington who have
been trying to abolish the Presidency,
sent to English Minister Thornton,
among others, to get his views as to the
proper form of government to substitute
for the present. Sir Edward replied as
follows: SIN reply to your letter Of yes
terday, I must express my regret that
it is out of my power to give you the
details for which you ask. 1t must in
deed be supposed that my duties here
are very light if I could find time to
write what would require so much
thought and labor as to the relative
merits of the Government of the United
States and Great Britain. The question
reminds me of the phrase which L had
to copy so often when a boy, that Com
PARSONS are odious, and it would ill
become her majesty's Minister TO enter
upon the discussion of question which
might lead to such comparison"

Hunting the King of Beasts.

The favorite plan adopted by lion
hunters IN Algiers for Turing their prey
is TO select favorable plot of level
ground below commanding eminence,
where the hunters, armed with rifles,
conceal themselves. A stake is driven
into the center of the plot, to which a
kid is tethered. It is about 2 in the
morning, and the moon full and bright.
About twenty minutes delay, and the
heavy silence of the place is broken by
an ominous sound in the distance. It is
not quite howl, but a greatly magni-
fed imitation of that long wailing cry of
a lonesome cat in the dead of night.
Then the moon reveals dark object
among the heavy grasses and shrubbery,
and then the form of the king of beasts,
whipping his launches with his fluffy
tail, and leisurely following the scent.
The piteous bleating Of the doomed kid
accclerates his pace, and when within a
few feet of his victim he crouches down
to gloat over the prospective meal. He
advances, and with stroke of his paw
nearly dispatches the kid. Almost dead,
it attempts to crawl away. Then the
lions feline instincts are apparent. He
plays with the dying kid as cat does
with half-dead mouse. While he is
thus engaged the hunters take steady
aim at point near one of the fore shout
ders or behind his ear. He sends up
terrific yell, and rolls over dead.

The Sagacity of Wild Geese.

The large focks of wild geese which
are constantly passing over the town are
frequently shot at, but they generally
fly at too high an attitude to be reached
by the leaden missiles. Sometimes,
however, the shots take effect. The
other day we were watching flock fly
ing southwark, when the report of a
gun was heard and we observed one of
the geese begin to fail slowly. The
others, perceiving that their comrade
was wounded, uttered shrill cries of dis
tress, and about dozen of them flew
under the wounded bird, budding to-
gether so that their backs formed sort
of bed upon which the wounded one
rested. They buoyed it up for some
time, the others meanwhile looking on
and manifesting their concern by utter

Scarlet Fever.

The Boston Board of Health has is
sued circular prescribing certain pre-
cautions for the prevention of the spread
OF scarlet fever, from which we make
the appended extract
Scarlet fever is like smallpox in it's power
to spread readily from person TO person. It is
highly contagious. The disease shows it's first
signs IN about one week after exposure, as a
general rule, and persons who escape the ILL.,
ness during fortnight after exposure may
feel themselves safe from attack. Scarlet
lever, scarlatna, canker rash, and rash fever
are names of one and the same dangerous dis
ease. When case of scarlet fever occurs in
any family, the sick person should be placed
IN room apart from the other inmates of the
house, and should be nursed as far as possible
by one person only. The sick chamber should
be well warmed, exposed to sunlight and we'll
aired Its furniture should be such as will
permit OF cleansing without injury, and all ex-
ira ARTICLES, such as window drapery and Woelen
carpets, should be removed from the room
during sickness. The family should not mingle
with other people. Visitors to an infected
house should be warned OF the presence of a
dangerous disease therein, and children, espe-
clally, should not be admitted. On recovery
the sick person should not mlngle with the
well until the roughness of the skin, due to
disease, shall have disappeared A month is
considered an average penod during which
isolation Is needed. Tie clothing, before
being worn or used by the patient Or The nurse
should be cleansed by bolliDg for at least one
hour, or, II that cannot be done, by free and
prolonged exposure to outdoor air and sun
night. The walls of the rotm should be dry-
rubbed, and the cloths used for the purpose
should be burned without previous shaking.
The ceiling should be scraped and whiteued
the floor should be washed with SOAP and
water, and carbollc acid may be added to the
Water-one pint to three or four gallons"

COLE YOUNGER.
Painting Pals in the Minnesota State Pris-
On-The Transgressor,s Road

RalntIng rails IN the Minnesota State PriS-
On-The Transgressor's Road.
This is the home of the Younger
brothers. Naturally the Mortified trio
were the much sought after of the con-
victs yesterday. I brought up the rear
OF the first party to arrive, and Bob,
looking up from his work, caught my
eye, and with q pleasant twinkle in his
own. nodded recognition, and, when 7
had advanced, extended his hand and
asked how l had been. He seemed as
Indifferent as ever as he continued his
work of piling up pals, remarking,
"This is good exercise, you see," and
smiled.
"You look fat and we'll, I remarked;
and he does, very much so.
"Yes. I've been sick; but we have
plenty to eat, and are as well treated as
could be expected"
His arm is still stiff, and always will
be. Cole has entirely recovered from
his wounds, and even his left eye, the
nerves Of which were paralyzed by the
passage of the ball which is lodged be-
meath the right eye, does not trouble
him. He finds his "sublime life" in
revolving pals upon sort of spindle,
and applying the first coat of white paint
by rapid process. Jim, who conversed
but little yesterday, revolves machine
by which the pals are grained, while,
after the bands have been painted
brown by another mechanical process,
at which red headed convict assists,
Bob piles the pals up in regular tiers.
They occupy the first three cells on the
lower tier at the right of the main en-
trance, and all look as though they were
stall-fed-fat enough to kill. Sheriff
Barton was the party yesterday, and
the prisoners seemed right glad to see
their big-hearted guardian when first
captured. The Captain wears heavy
gold cham, a present from Miss Henri
eta Younger, received not long since.
1t was formerly the property of Col.
Younger, the father Of the boys, and is
token now OF the kindness on his part
to both sons and daughter.
Cole seems more depressed than when
last talked to him, just before sentence
was pronounced at Faribault. He APP
preciates that he is to great extent the
cause of the punishment that is inflicted
upon his brothers, since" he led them
into a course of unparalleled crime

Something New i'm Surgery.

DR.. Holmes, Of Helena, Mon, recent
ly removed trmor from the left side of
Mr.. B. T. Herrin of the size of an ordi-
nary apple. While the operation was
being performed, Mr.. Herrin was read
ing the news in daily paper and was
not aware that the knife was being used
until the tumor was placed on the table
before him. The method of destroying
sensibilty was this: The doctor took
ball of snow, added to it teaspoonful
of table-salt, and applied this freezing
mixture to the tumor until the surface
was white. When the knife was used
the tumor was insensible.
