Six Days Of Exciting Chase After Prai-
RE Wolf
South Bend (Ind.) Tribune. Feb. %.

South Bend Und.) Tribune Feb %.
The readers of the Tribune will re-
member our several times mentioning
during the past three years the terrible
depredations made on flOcks of sheep
on Harris Prairie by gray wolf. The
wolf was often seen, but was so sly that
hunters seldom got shot at her. Twice
her htters were captured, but she
escaped, and her inroads on the fiocks
IN that vicinity have aggregated a loss
to the farmers of over 81 900, as Mr.
Michael Smith estimates.
On Wednesday of last week some Of
the old hunters assembled for the pur-
pose Of giving her chase, and it was
agreed to keep up the hunt until she
was captured The hunt continued all
day Wednesday and far into the night.
The dogs routed her out Of her lair, but
she was SO feet-footed . that she soon
distanced them: and, though seen sew
eral times, no one got shot at her On
Thursday morning the chase was re-
sumed. Some times the Welf would be
found near Edwardsburg, and then
again down on the prairie, running,
though, most always in a circle. On
Friday Mr.. Michael Smith got sight Of
her running across one Of his fields,
and was within a few rods of the game,
but unluckily had left his gun short
distance Oft, and was armed with only
anax Saturday morning John Shrimp
and his companions started her from
the top of a nay-stack on the Catholic
farm. The chase was kept up all that
day and also on Sunday and Monday.
lo1y off chr Il
Mr.. Smith woods, which we're surround
ed by the entire hunting force Fon
Quimby's hounds started her up and
pertinaciously pursued her until she
finally attempted to break from the
woods near where Quimby was station
ed. He discharged both barrels Of his
gun at her One slug went directly
through her body, from which the blood
spurted IN great stream, and running
a few rods she dropped dead in her
tracks.
The wolf measured about three and
one-haif feet in height, and was over six
feet long. Her favorite method Of kill
ing sheep was to run with the flock,
grasp sheep by the neck with her laws,
suck the blood, and then pounce on an
other and another until her appetite was
satiated She has been known to kill
six Or eight sheep in one night, and had
become such terror in the neighbor-
hood that sCme of the farmers sold their
focks. The farmers were so rejoiced
over the capture and death of the wolf
that they made up purse of $40 for
the boys, and naturally look for the
County Commissioners to do something
in the matter.

The Troy IN. " Standard says
Joseph Waller, and his son Frederick,
who keeps a barber shop on Second
street, near Madison, are we'll known in
the lower part of the city, and are con-
sidered among the most respectable Of
our French citizens. Joseph has lived
in Troy for many years and reared his
family here. The family have never
been able to live without working hard,
but by honesty and industry they push
ed themselves above the average Of
mankind. A few days ago Mr.. Waller
received French paper from Canada,
in which was recorded the death of a
John Waller, in New Orleans, January
f. The paper also asked for the where
abouts Of Joseph Waller, who it is said
was the only heir Of the deceased, whose
estate was valued at $15,OOO,OOO Mr..
Waller thought the matter over and re-
membered that about forty years ago
his cousin, John Waller, left Canada for
the south, since which time he had not
heard from him until he read the no
tice in the paper sent him lately men
tioning his death. Mr. Waller procured
the services of Arthur Valois, a French
lawyer of Cohoes, to visit Canada, to as
certain the facts in the case and to
prove that he is the Joseph Waller
wanted. Mr.. Waller and family nave
become greatly excited over the good
news, and it is feared it will impair the
old mans mind. We hope the news is
true, and will soon know the truth of
the matter. Mr.. Waller says he is GER
tain that he is the lucky man. The
case will be looked forward to with in
terest by our citizens. It is seldom in
deed that man can become Wander
bilt or Stewart in a day.

pecially the holding Of Bulgaria as Sc
curitv for indemnity were inadmissible.
The Ministers empowered Count An

Comparing 1877 with 1872 we find
that the imports from the United States
have increased about "a per cent, while
those from Great Britain have dimin-
ished 35 per cent. Considering the de-
cline in the price of merchandise, the
quantity Of goods imported from this
country must have greatly exceeded
that in 1874, when the value was slight
ly larger. The exports from Canada
have been generally smaller than in
the preceding year. There was, how
ever, a small increase, Of less than
81, 100000, in the exports to Great Brit
ain. The exports to this country were
valued at $25,775, 245, which was &c.
100000 less than during 1856.

Our neighbors of the dominion of
Canada are tardy in the preparation of
their full trade and navigation returns
The figures for the fiscal year 1867
have just appeared. The grand totals
are: Imports, $99,327 .962; exports,
$50, 1893. The excess Of imports was
thus twenty-three and one-half million
or almost 81 per cent. The imports
show an increase of six millions over
the preceding year, and the exports a
decline of five millions. The imports
into Canada have followed very nearly
the same course as that part Of our own
foreign trade. They reached a maxi
mum in the year 1873 and 1874, and
have since declined, but are now show
ing signs Of recovery. The exports on
the other hand have declined from
ninety millions in 1873, to seventy-six
millions in 1877, and the figures of the
last report are the lowest since 1871
We believe the course of trade was not
more favorable during the last half Of
the calendar year 1877. The trade Of
Canada with the United States increases
quite steadily. It is exclusively an in
crease Of imports into Canada however.
Last year the value of American goods
entered at Canadian ports was $51, 312,-
$50, which was more than So per cent.
of the whole value of imported goods.
Moreover, it was an increase of $5OOO,-
600 over the value in 1856. The great
change that has taken place in the
source from which Canada obtains
goods is shown 10y the following figures

REcovERING-The condition of Paul
Koerner, who shot himself ou Tuesday
night, was much improved ssterday,
and strong hopes are entertained for his
ultimate recovery, although the ball
has not been extracted. Should be re-
cover he ought te bs sent to the Insane
Asylum and kept there, as, when be is
under tho influence Of liquor. he Is
liable TO kill anybody who interteres
with him. In conversation with
couple of gentlemen who visited him
yesterday. Koerner stated tina. some
time ago he received letter from Ger
many telling him that certain SUN Of
money for his use bad been sent 10 his
brother, who ia a clerk in the foreign
letter department Of the San Francisco
Post Office. He wrote 10 his brother
twice about it, and has failed to elicit
any reply. His idea was. if he receive !!
the money. to change bis residence and
associates. in order TO build up new
name for himself Falling to hear
from his brother and seeing nothing
ahead Of him bu. misery and destitn-
ton, he sought his own life. and says
be will do 1T again as he has nothing
for which he desires To live. His great
physical strength may bring him safely
out of his present dilemma. but as his
dementia is liable to return upon him
al. any time when he takes to drink. he
should be kept in some sanitary insti-
tuition. He is sltogether too handy
with weapons, and will be apt to put
somebody to trouble if suffered to run
at large.

THE Coal TRADE.-Shipments of
coal to San Francisco thus far the pres.
ent year have been very light, owing
mainly to the partial stoppagc of move

mine during the changing of the route.
Total receipts at San Francisco from
January lst to February 18th, accord
ing 70 the Journal Of Commerce, have
been only 4, 300 tons against 81, $50
