UNPROFITABLE BETTING.

The lively times which exist around and
about the County Building will be illustrated
by the following: Yesterday afternoon rat
was caught in one of the offices and was
brought into the street to be exterminated
Among the busy lookers-on were o. P. Willis
and Judge Waltz, respectively accompanied by
their "purps." A discussion arose as to
whose dog could make an end to the rodent
the quickest. Of course each thought that
his particular canine was the best rat exter-
minator. After considerable bantering the
gentlemen mustered enough courage to back
their opinions with coin. They bet two bits
a side, and Beam Pixley was chosen stake
holder. As soon as the money was put up,
the rat was let out of the trap and the two
terriers bounced upon his unfortunate ratship
and put period to his career. Now arose
the question as to whose dog killed the rat
The matter was so difficult to decide that
Beam Pixley was further chosen arbitrator
Even he, with all of his wisdom concentrated
upon the subject, could not como to salts
factory conclusion respecting the question;
and as he did not wish to act uniustly by Civ
ing the money to either of the betting parties,
he invited three outsiders into a saloon where
the four bits were drank up Willis and
Waltz are out half dollar, and haven't even

THRILLING ADVENTURE,

Yesterday afternoon a thrilling adven-
ture took place on the Upper Ottawa, at
the Duchess Rapids, about four miles
from this city, a whole raft being car
ried over the rapids at once. Rats COM
ing down the river are toWed from Arm
pYIor down to the bay at Britannia,
which is on the south side of Lake
Duchesne, and Immediately above the
rapids of the same name. Here the
cribs are separated, and one at time
they are run over the rapids by two or
three Of the raftsmen, being caught be-
low in the boom, alter which they are
brought down, and, and in due time run
the slides at the CnaudIere.
Yesterday the steamer Chaudiere
started down from Arnprior with a RAFT
belonging to MIR. Francis, consisting of
nearly a hundred cribs, and upou which
were some thlrty-fYe rafLsmen. A
strong westerly wind prevailed at the
time, but all went well until the steamer
endeavored to make the bay at Britain
MIA, when it was soon found that there
would be a struggle between steam and
man-power and lne force of the current
and wilma as to whether the raft would
be safely harbored or carried bodily over
the dangerous rapids. This was be-
tween 2 and O'Clock in the afternoon.
Fuel was added to the steamers fur
mace, so that more power might be had,
while the raftsmen used their sweeps
with unabated energy to get the raft out
OF the dangerous current into which it
had been thrown by the wind and waves.
The struggle Was not oflong duration,
Tor steadily but surely was the raft
drawn towards the rapids, which are
between half mile and three-quarters
in width and some little distance in
length. When the steamer hands found
that it was fighting against fate TO save
the raft, The haWser was cut in order
that the vessel could save itself from be-
| ing carried over also. At this time the
men on the raft prepared for the work.
Four took to a boat and reached the
shore in safety, the others rather pre-
| ferring TO run the risk of the rapids,
which they were tnen rapidly approach
ing. 1t must have been terrible
moment to the thirty -one human beings
on the bound tlmbers, which were then
beginning to dance and creak on The
angry waters, with the foam-cOVered as
| well as hidden rocks just ahead
There were hurried movements among
the rattsmen, who sought the cribs most
likely TO 60 through in safety, and mo-
ment later an indescribable scene pre-.
sented itself to the few who happened
TO witness it. The raft broke up, quite
number OF them being wrecked on the
| rocks, but the majority Of them held to-
gether, and came out of the trying Or
deal all right, with the men OH board.
Unfortunately, ON one OF the cribs that
broke up were three raftsmen, named
speclively, Jonn Francis, Jean Bour-
geois, and simon Conroy. The two first
named escaped any severe injury, but
Conroy was frIghtlully crushed be-
tween a couple Of the timbers, his right

GETTING EVEN WITH AN INDIAN PRINCE.

A curious story, by the way, comes to
us from India, says a correspondent.
The VIceroy had received some ohense
from Soindia, and could not avenge it
openly; whereupon he medttated and
took the following deeply deliberated
method OF retaliation; When large
number OF native princes came up be-
fore him to make their obelsance, no
sooner did the offending Scindla enter
than the Vieeroy sprang forward Win
effusiveness and kissed him on both
cheeks. Such contact from an alien ana
a Christian is the EXTREMIST taint ma
tive can receive. Scindia's own wives
would not come near him; in one moment
he sank in the eyes OF all India from a
prince to parlah, and ever since the
poor man has been undergoing purify
ing ceremonials, costing large part OF
his fortune, to cleanse him from the
viceregal kiss by which he was be-
trayed.

A WEDDING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

The Springfield Republican says: Bel
chertOwn was hlgnly excited last week
over an almost tragical wedding OF AM
herst parties, VINO spell their names Fry
ana Boil. The girPs father didn't want
ner 10 marry The man, and SO the latter
took her to the place where her sister
was employed till the wedding could be
arranged. The sister, however, was
also opposed TO the match, being at
tackled by the green-eyed monster, be-
cause the same fellow had previously
made love to ner, and 80 she locked the
bride expectant in her room.
After a nights incarceration she
jumped from the window and joined her
lover at the hotel. The clerk of the hou ,e
drove off turIously Tor clergyman, and
the pastor was just beginning the cere-
mony when the sister appeared at the
window to forbid the bans. The oertiti-
cate was all right, however, and the min
lster concluded to 20 on, but in his ex-
citement he read most OF the baptismal
service, beginning, "Whereas all men
are born in sIn," and repeated the names
OF the couple he last married.
The clerk held the door so that th G
sister couldn't come in. On Sunday the
gif's father came to the church door
and called the minister from his class TO
demand of him why he married his
daughter, at the same time admitting
her legal age. Meanwhile the groom has
lost his place at Amherst, and lett Tor
parts unknown.

Ponds Extract.

We have heard, as well as cXperenc cd many
instances Of the marvellous virtues Of this pro-
prictary remedy, but none more remark able
than the one we are now about to relate. On
the evening Of Sunday, Oct. II, Mr.. John Ross
well known to the whole billiard public as
member Of the leading firm of VIM. II. Griffith
& Co., Billiard Table Manufacturers, Of New
York, retired to rest, seemingly in his usual
good health About O'Clock A. Al. he woke ana
found his pillow and a portion Of his bed
clothing saturated with blood which was still
being discharged from his nose. He arose and
expended some time in his endeavors to check
the hemorrhage, but was finally forced to
arouse his family (he is widower) to his as
sistance. When all the means at hand were
Intellectually exhausted the family physician
was sent for, and he in turn brought to his aid
two other medical practitioners, one of them
an English surgeon of exalted reputation.
During Monday, Tuesday and large portion
of Wednesday, not an hour elapsed without
some new efforts in behalf of the sufferer.
Nothing that ability, skill, or experience could
suggest was spared-refrigerants, cha1ngs,
heavy lacing, strong sjimulants, ETC., were ex-
ternally applied, while plugging, injections,
and scores of interval remedies were tested
all, all in vain; and medical skill admitted
that it was successfully batHed, and there was
no hope. At this time sister Of the sufferer
Mrs. GriGith) suggested her favorise family
remedy-Pond's Extract. "Try anything you
think might help him." resp onded the attend
ing physician, but in a tone Of voice convinc-
| ing to all that heard IL that the patient was
| far beyond human aid. The Extract was pro-
cured, little injected into the sick mans nos
| trils, while a cloth saturated with it covered
his face from the upper lip to the forehead.
The effect was truly astounding. This man
had been bleeding for over sixty hours and
had completely exhausted the best medical
talent available; but, when Ponds Extract
was applied, the hemorrhage was completely
stopped in space Of time not exceeding three
minutes, and the man, as it were, raised from
the grave. Although confined to his house for
| a couple of weeks, and scarcely yet recovered
his usual robust health, Mr.. Ross is compare
| lively well man again, and there has been
no return Of the hemorrhage. Himself and
| family feel assured that but for the opportune
| application of Ponds Extract he could scarce
ly have survived the night through, as he had
already lost over gallon Of blood before the
hemorrhage was successfully abated.

Two black eagles were recently caught
in the mountains north OF Santa Bar
bara. The sportsman waited until he
saw the parent BIRDS sailing down the
valley and then robbed the nest, which
was thirty feet above ground, and was
built OF sticks as thick a. mans wrist.
With some difficulty he secured the
young birds, then about three weeks old
and OF the size of large chickens. He
got down before the old blrdS re eturned.
When the captives were six weeks old
they could d spose of jack-rabbit at "a
meal without indigestion. A coyote
visited the house and destroyed all the
chickens. The eagles were then in the
cnicken-pen, and on the next morning
the coyoLe returned to get some more
chicken. ole OF the eagles engaged him
IN combat, and held him with It's taLons
until the sportsman heard the outcries
and shot the thief. The full-groWn birds

SALEM WITCHCRAFT OUTDONE.

The young daughter of Elijah Mich
OILS, blacksmith Of Herdstown, N. j.,
is afflicted in the most singular and mys-
terious manner. She predicted evil on
her fifteenth birthday, which befell on
the 18th OF October last, and since that
date she has been bed-ridden and par
alyzed. AT times there ahpears under
the counterpane of her bed the
presence OF rat, rabbit
or a cat, swiftly moving
from place to place and eluding detec-
ton. In vain Is the bed stripped, or the
patient removed to another place; the
"presence" is only powerless 10 act
when the mother sleeps with the child.
The physicians, no less than the clergy,
and the common folk OF all the country
side, are baffled. Crowds come daily to
see The mystery. On one recent occa-
sion, Mr.. Richards, Mayor of Dover,
held his stiff hat above the "presence, !"
and the hat received blow that
crushed it. Violent blows have been
gwen to the hand, to CANE, and to other
objects held out over the place where
the "presence" was, and, needless TO
say, attempts to grab the presence have
failed. ALI the while the girl lies moan

in the bed would be plainly such as to
show that the mysterious movements
were not caused by her. The girl

fifteen days, and for some weeks past
she has only received a little milk daily,

CAPTURING WHITE WHALES.

A New Y ork Sun CORES spondent has a
very interesting account of the capture
of white whales tor the New YORK ana
COuey Island aQuariums from their ma
tive hauuts at the Isle aux Condress in
the St. Lawrence, seventy miles below
Quebec. Here a little French colony
make business of spearing porpOises
tor their oil, taking now and then a white
whale, the larger OF which are preserved
| Tor the aquariums as they are required
| from time to time. These whales are
timid, stupid creatures. In pursuit Of
| small fish they run up close to the shore,
and the fishermen corral them by plant
| ing stakes at distances nearly two feet
| apart, in a line enclosing a parallelo-
gram a mile in width, and extended
three-quarters Of a mile from shore sea-
ward. AS the tide recedes, the whales
find themselves within this inclOsure.
One of the big whales could sWoop
down score OF the stakes by single
dash at them, and there is even
room for him TO dart between with
out touching them; yet SO cowardly is
ne that these slender distractions suffice
to turn him. He Will rush seaWard to
within a yard OF the fence, then wheel
in wild alright and dart back towards
shore, and SO aimlessly exhaust himself,
WUlle Iu0 WaGSE Is COu5LduGly growing
more and more shallow. Al last ne lies
helplessly stranded. None have ever
been known to break through the bar
rier and escape. The boxing up and
transportation of these big fish to New
York Is a great labor, and it often takes
thirty strong men several hours to
get one Of the monsters into his travel
ing case. Once IN his box, water has to
be poured over the backs and blow holes
of tue imprisoned whales every five min
utes. That waLer.pOuring, by the way,
Is monotonous and tiresome job, which
must be continued without tintermlssion
during the next ninety hours, While the
whales are being carried by schooner
TO Quebec, thence by rail via
Montreal aud Albany to New York.
The water in which lhey lie must not
cover their Dlow-hoIes, else, as they have
not room to move, they would be unable
to rise and breathe, and would, conse-
quently, drown; yet, they must be kept
constantly wet. So, their boxes are
tight only as far up from the bottom as
their eyes. Above that line there are
cracks for the surplus water to flow off,
and a man must stand over them until
they can be got into tank, dipping
from the river while IN the schooner, or
from hogshead wnen in the cars, and
drencning them all the time.
