An Eagle Story.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
says that Alva Platt, the young taxi
dermist of Lavonia, Livingston county,
has a gray American eagle that has a
history, and was captured under peculiar
circumstances. 1t has been an inha bit
ant of the shores of Conesus lake for the
past two years, and dozens of hunters
have had shots at it without bringing it
down. Last Saturday a tramp was in
swimming near the foot of the lake on
the east side, when this female bird at
tempted no less a feat than the capture
OF a naked tramp. She came upon him
with the intent of war of extermina-
ton. The poor fellow ran out of the
water for his life, pursued by this self
appointed officer, and but for finding a
good club he might have been in a few
moments hors du combat. He states that
he had fierce struggle before he con-
quered. The bird measures six feet two
inches from tip to tip, and it is believed
to have had young eagles near by, which
she was striving to protect, or to furnish
with meal of man-hesh. Two weeks
ago Mr.. Piatt shot at an eagle; a feather
a few inches long was cut, by his bullet,
from one of the wings, and now finds
that this feather fits a notch in the
birds wing. He found bullet in the
birds breast, entirely surrounded by
good sound flesh; also several buckshot,
one of which had almost penetrated the
brain. He will have her carefully
mounted and on exhibition as soon as
practicable.

Al Eagles Defence.

Last week while E. J. Campbell was
Eagedin digging wild ginger on the side
c The Roam, about one and a half miles
,om Cloudland hotel, he found the nest
of gray eagle in fallen tree-top under
the cliff of the mountain, containing one
young eagle. While examining the nest
and its contents, suddenly he heard a
loud noise, and, before he could ascertain
what it was, the old eagle had struck
him in the face with her bill and claws,
and, taking a circuit through the air,
alighted on a tree about 200 yards dis
tant, but in plain view of the nest.
Again the parent bird made an attack,
aiming at his head; but he avoided her,
and she struck him on the arm, making
a slight wound. She returned to her
post of observation, but, as soon as he
attempted to touch the nest containing
the young eagle, she made a third at,
tack, when Mr.. Campbell struck her
with a stick and brought her to the
ground, where, after a severe struggle,
he succeeded in killing her. She mea-
sured seven feet and two inches from tip
to tip Of her wings. The male bird was
not seen. The place was wild, unfre-
quented part of the mountain. 1t has
generally been supposed that the eagle
always built her nest in the clefts of the
rocks, but this one had her nest in a
fallen tree-top, some feet from the
ground, but in a spot seldom visited by
man. This bird is the one known as the
gray or bald eagle.-BakersUjIte, N. c.,

Wheat CrODS.

The New York Produce Exchange Weeklg
gives the following summary: The English
crop is fair; the Germany and Central
Europe crop is an average. The American
surplus winter wheat is quickly available
and large. A short period of sunshine in
the United Kingdom depresses the English
markets against wheat. The French wheat
crop is bad. The harvests of Italy, Spain,

mates. The spring wheat crop in America
has been reduced by excessive heat. India
has ceased to export wheat this year in any
considerable quantity. Australia has but
limited surplusleft for export to United King
dom or Europe, the neighboring colonies re.
curing her surplus. The wheat-producing
area of France is estimated to yield 3-10ths
rather under average; 2-10ths, 20 per cent
short, and 5-10ths, 80 per cent. deficiency,
giving a net yield of say 80,000,000 hectoli-
tres or 2S,000,000 quarters, leaving importa.
ton to supply 100000 quarters, with
economy in consumption say 100000
quarters, or 100000 bushels, which will
not all be wanted at once, but will be spread
over the whole year. The wheat crop OF the
United Kingdom is estimated for 1873 al

A Modern Shepherdess.

A venerable shepherdess was recently
found by some men who were wander
ing in the mountains not far from Nir.
ginia City. She was hot one of the kind
that poets sing about; not one of the
kind that figure in Eclogues and all that
sort OF thing; but SO uare, up-and-down
ness-or rather hef Sheppard allowed
the rest of the world to take care of
itself. She is thus described;
A "woman wrinkled and wry,' and
of three-score years, leading herd OF
from 275 to 900 goats. She was clad
plainly, If not neatly, in an apron like
a school girls, arrnless, and open in front
" simply this and nothing more She
was making headquarters within the en-,
closure of three rough stone walls, five
feet high, with an open wagon cover,
one-half the top and the front being
wanting. Her couch was half blanket
and a sack Of wool for a pillow. The
food on hand consisted Of a pound and
a half of four, which she used by mix
ing it with water and drinking it in the
place of tea or coffee. She had two
dried-up slapjacks, on one of which she
was nibbling. She added to these luxu
ries such portions of the flesh of her kid:
killed by coyotes as she was able to re,
cover. But the boys appear to have
caught the aged shepherdess away from
her home, She told them where she
lived and invited them to CALL 1t wa:
i've miles over the mountains. In the
course of their wanderings they found
the place and accepted the invitation
accordingly, although the mistress Of
the mansion was not at home. They
found there eight pounds of beans anC
about as many of bacon, eight chickens
and nary a rooster among them. Sht
explained this TO them on their return
She got hungry in the spring and killed
the rooster, as the hens were laying anc
she didno care TO eat them up. They alsC
found there a sort of dress and the othel
half of the old lady's blanket. She re
fused to talk much of her history or tcl
her name.

a Russian Joke.

The old sayins LAT everything finds
use sooner or later is simply borne
& by an episode in Russia's Eastern
progress, which one may still hear re-
lated at times, with infinite glee, by
iome veteran of the Turkish army. While
Bokhara was still an Independent prin-
atty under the terrible Nasrrllah
/ an, a small party of Russian engineer
officers from the settlement on the Syr-
Daria ventured into hostile territory,
the hope of surveying a portion of it
before they could be interrupted. This
ope, however was speedily disappointed
By the appearance of an overwhelming
occe of Bokariote horsemen, who ad-
vanced with the evident intention of at
lacking them. The Russian leader. see
ing his case desperate, boldly assumed
the character of special envoy from the
car to the Amer, and in this character
made triumphal entry into the capital
escorted by the very men who had been
about to take his life Admitted to an
gold watch and silver-handled knife to
the savage despot, as the cars gift of his
"royal brother" and everything was
proceeding with the utmost smoothness,
when the ameer upset every thing by sud-
denly observing that surely the great
car of Ooroos (Russian) must have sent
a letter of some kind along with his
gifts. At this malapropos remark the
self-styled Ambassador turned pale as
death, and already felt his head SIT
loosely upon his shoulders. A young
subaltern beside him, however, with
almost miraculous presence of mind
drew from his pocket-book an old play.
bill of the Alexander Theater at St
Petersburg, and coolly read from it an
imaginary letter of congratulation, wind
lug up by handing it with low bow to
the Amer. The latter, who had already
seen the cars name appended to more
than one official document, was quite
convinced by the sight of the huge
" Alexander along the top of the paper
in company with the Russian double
eagle; and the precious play-bill was
reverently deposited among the royal
archives of Bokhara, where it probably
remains to this day.

Rather Pertinent.

The Dramatic News tells this neat
story of Ed, J. Buckley and Barry Sui
hvan: Sullivan had the good fortune
to " star" in the first performance ever
given in a San Francisco theatre, of
which Buckley was the leading man.
At the first rehearsal Sullivan noticed
Buckley lounging airily and independ-
emily about the place, and mentally
voted him as a stakeholder Cline

posititious stakeholder, chow many

a Fight with a Sh ark

Capt. w. J.. Pattison had quite fight
with the gray man-eating shark which
he caught off Short Beach, Branford, the
other day. The monster was nine feet
four in length, and was as big around as
a four-barrel. His jaws were nine inch
es in diameter, and, after his head mad
been cut off, the captain put his head
between his six rows of formidable teeth
and through his throat. The captain
has been on the water for TWENTY-FIVE
years, but this is the first time he has
ever known of gray sharks visit to the
waters of the sound. When he found
the ugly fellow in MS fish-net, he had
him drawn to his yacht, and grabbed
him by his top IN, as he expresses it.
The shark was decidedly opposed to this
method of treatment, and snapped vic
iously at everything within his reach,
occasionally taking something out of the
gunwale of the boat, and twice biting
the captains leg. Finally his capturer
got line around the monster and hauled
him on deck. Here he took his long
knife and cut bis backbone in two.
Even this severe treatment did not cool
the rage of the man-eater; for two hours
and half afterward, when pine plank
an inch thick was presented to him, he
Immediately bit it in two. The snap
ping of his jaws conld have been heard
a distance of ten yards. He lived four
hours after his backbone had been dis
jointed. He weighed considerably more
than 400 pounds.-NeW HoUen Register.

Night before last a family man on

and saw youth sitting in the moon

The old man made rush, the younc
man drifted out into the shrubbery, and
as he went over the fence, pater made a
good line shot and kicked. Then he car
ried himself into the house on one foot
and sat down and wept, and called TO-

himself for?" And Emeline said, 'Wbv

about it the next night until the moon
went down.-Bmlington Hasokeye.
