"A few years ago Maine was the
greatest numbering State in the Union,
but now she is sixth on the list, and the
business is rapidly falling off by reason
of the wasting away of the forests and
the competition of Western men. Ship
builders at Portland say they can get
pine masts and Spars from the Pacific
coast cheaper than they can cut them in
their own woods.
Broken bottles are utilized in Eng
land in the manufacture of cheap Jew
elry, chimney ornaments, and inferior
household glass for the manufacturing
districts. Also for the manufacture Of
emery powder, glass-paper, etc. One
sOda-water-maker in London, last year,
broke, in the process Of filling, corking,
cleaning, and distributing his soda, 100
tons of bottles. This old glass brings
about 10 shillings per ton.

Haps and Mishaps.

While telling tree at Ridgeville,
o., Emerson Chapman was killed in

"A A2-year-old son of Frank Kelley,

Emily Harding, a colored woman
of Franklin, Ky, while in spasm, fell
into the fire and was fatally burned.
"A 4-year-old daughter of Thos. Col
Inns, near Anchorage, Ky, was burned
to death by her clothes taking fire from

Mrs. Lott, of Bloomer, Wis, filed a

A New Breed of Cats.

In the little manufacturing village of
Queechy, Vt, has arrived new breed
of cats. Last spring they made their
first appearance. Several old family
cats, all of them quite aged, gave birth
to litters of kittens of a very peculiar ap-
pearance. They were long haired, with
large legs and long claws and very
heavy tails. One specimen in each lit
ter was raised, so as to see this freak of
nature in maturity, At six months of
age they were very large. Some of them
are striped like lion, others are quite
black. The fur is from three to six
inches in length all over the body; tuft
of long hair rims the ears. The headis
like that of any cat, except the eyes OF
all of them have a wild or frightened
look. At the neck the fur stands out
like wide rullle, the tail is covered with
long fur, and would measure, perhaps,
six inches in circumference. All of
them are very active, and will spring
from the floor.to the top of room eight
OF nine feet high with perfect ease.
When frightened they are disposed to
turn and show fight, and they will not
permit much petting. Philadelphia

A Gigantic Eagle.

Mr.. James Hamilton, who lives near
Butler, in Tyler County, killed a gray
eagle few days ago that measured sev-
en- feet and three inches from tip to tip
of wings. The day before the bird was
killed it made a swoop at little four
year-old girl of Mr.. Hamilton who,
with her sister, was on the roof of the
piazza drying some walnuts, and might
have seriously harmed her had his efforts
not been obstructed by the overhanging
limbs of some shade-trees. When the
child saw the eagle after it had been
killed she exclaimed, "that's the thing
that made a lick at me yesterday"

to friend in this city we get these facts,

room. Such birds are not common in
his ection.-CoIunabuS (Ga.) Times.
