A New Breed of Cats.

In the little manufacturing village of
Queechy, VT, has arrived a new breed
of cats. Last spring they made their
first appearance. Several old family
cats, all of them quite aged, gave birth
to filters of kittens of very peculiar APP
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 head is
like that of any ca, except the eyes of
all of them have a wild or frightened
look. AT the neck the fur stands out
like a wide ruf1le, 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 foor,to the top of room eight
or nine feet high with perfect ease.
When frightened they are disposed to
turn and show fight, and they will not
permit much petting .-Philadelphta

The Dog as a Draught Animal.

Dogs in the North are harnesSed in a
number of ways. The Esquimaux run
their dogs abreast. On the coast of
Hudson's Bay they are harneSsed by
many separate lines into kind of band
or pack; while in Manitoba and Saskat-
chewan, they are driven tandem. The
number constituting train is generally
four, though three and even two are
used. The train of dogs are attached
to the sledge by means of two long
traces, between which the animals stand
in line, the head of one dog being about
foot behind the tail of the dog in front
of him. Each one is fastened to the
traces by a round collar of moose-skin,
which slips over the head and ears, and
rests upon the swell of the neck. This
collar buckles on each side to the traces,
which are kept in position by back
band of leather, buckled under the dog S
ribs or stomach. The back-band is gek-
orally decorated with little bells, as is
also the collar, and many ribbons, por-
cupine quilts, fox tails, and beads are
lavished upon it. Great care is taken in
turning out train of dogs in good style.
Beads, bells, and embroidery are freely
used to bedizen the poor brutes. A
most comical effect is produced by this
finery placed on the person of dog new
to the harness, when he is invariably the
picture of fear, resembling a chief
mourner in the garb of 90 PantaloOn;"
and the ludicrous effect is intensified
when the victim happens to be young
in wears, and still retains the peculiar
expression of puppyhood. 1t is safe to
assert that, in the North, the whole ca
nine race haul sledge during the win
ter months. There is no exception of
age, sex, or condition; from the mi.er-
able mongrel to the thoroughbred Es-
Guimaux, all are destined to howl under
the drivers lash, to tug wildly at the
moose-skin collar, to haul until they can
haul no more, and then to die.-WJgni-
pea Letter to Chicago Tribune.

Novel Mode of Burial.

Last Saturday Mr.. Joseph Rankin, a
farmer, living in Ellis County, began
digging a well. After digging some six
feet he came upon the skeleton of man,
all the bones being present. Going some
two feet further down he unearthed the
second skeleton of man, where he
found several old Spanish coins. No
traces of coffin were visible in either
one of the graves. Mr.. Rankin's curl
osity being aroused, he proceeded, and
had dug but a few feet farther when the
third skeleton was brought to light.
Here, though there was no sign OF a
coffin, there were piled around num-
Der of rocks. The bones of the skeleton
were complete, and around the ankle
aud wrist there were silver bands, while
several unique trinkets of gold and sill
yer were found adjacent.-DalIGs (TcT.)

A Gigantic Eagle.

Mr.. James Hamilton, who lives near
Butler, in Tyler County, killed a gray
eagle few days ago that measured sew
en- feet and three inches from tip to tip
of wings. The day before the bird was
killed it made a swoop at a 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 INSTRUCTED 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 lick at me yesterday"

to a friend in this city we get these facts,
