HOW TO KILL CAT AND Nor HURT HER
FEELINGS. the cat in box large enough
to turn round in and not feel stifed. Then, for
grown cat, put two tablespoonful of best
chloroform on handful of cotton batting. Put
in the cat first, shutting the lid of the trunk;
then open the lid wide enough to slip in the
chloroformed cotton, and Immediately close it.
Now, asks the Burlington Hawkeye, could
anything be more considerate and humane? Be
sure and have the box large and we'll ventilat-
ed, so that the doomed cat twill not feel
stihed." Nothing is more annoying to a chic
reformed cat than close, sitting atmosphere.
Cats have been known to die from the effects
OF chloroform administered to them in tight
sitting box. The best box for the purpose
should have bay window in each end, and
should be ventilated by the Ruftan system !;
and there should be large hole cut in the side
of the box, so that the cat could come out and
get something to eat and drink when necessa-
ry. Then you should have the chloroform
carefully deOderized, SO as to remove any IN
pleasant or noxious flavor, and it should be
dropped on bit Of perfumed cotton and laid
away in one corner of the box, within easy
reach, where the cat could 60 and smell it
when he felt like it. In the course of some
ten er twelve years, the cat will pass gently
away,

to France that they regard the construction of
a second line of fortresses as hostile STEP
This second line of fortresses is intended to
create an artificial frontier line between Ger

country is open to invasion. This pretension
on the part of the Berlin cabinet is simply
monstrous. The French have as good right to

HARTFORD, Conn.,, March 1O.-The salt of
the city of New York against the New Eng

Court TOR the Southern District of New York,
which was argued last December before Judge
Shipman, was decided to-day in favor of the
defendants. The suit was brought for an in
junction to prevent the steamer Maryland from
being run as railroad transfer boat between
Jersey City and Morrisania as part of the
new through line between Boston and WASH
ington, via New York and New England rail-
road, which goes around New YORK by water,
the city claiming that it was ferry, and by
the Montgomerie charter no ferry could be run
to Morrisania, which is within the present limit
of New York, without license from the city.
The court dismissed the suit, on the ground
that the Maryland was not ferry boat within
the meaning of the charter.

A warlike Graft.

On last Monday morning, the 18th
inst, the usual peace and quietness of
our Seashore villa was suddenly
awakened by the unusual report of some
very large guns, ,emansting seward, and
upon glancing in that direction discov-
cred rather rakish and warlike looking
craft sailing into our port under full
spread of canvass and with flying colors.
After q few moments, however, this
stranger Was proven to be the American
sloop Of war Martha NJ, from Mobile,
under the immediate and direct COM
mand of Commodore J. r. Lassabe.
The Martha NJ. left Mobile few days
since on cruise of general recreation
and pleasure along our beautiful Shore,
and among the many islands which
abound in our sound. We learn that q
huge and most delightful time is being
spent BY these pleasure seekers. The
party composing the crew Of this sloop
of war is comprised of the following
named gentlemen from Mobile: Messrs,
J. B. Mcmillan, Weems, Sheffield. Mar
shal, and Others whose names we failed
to secure. the whole being under the
command of that well known and dis
tingnished officer, Commodore John R.
Lassabe. Success to you. gentlemen.
