A BABY,S ADVENTURE.

In the year 1S49 there died in the
town Of Greene. Me-, an old man named
Thomas, who had a thrilling wolf story
of his own to tell. though the experience
was too early for his memory. he being
at the time a baby in arms. Mr.. George
J. Narney relates the adventure in the
Lewiston Journal Mrs. Thomas was a
fsherman's wife who lived in the town
of Brunswick, Me-, where BOwdOin
College now stands. At one time when
her husband was in port. but could not
come home. she started on foot for
HarpSwell, a distance Of ten miles. to
see him, carrying her youngest child in
her arms. Returning. with a load of
fish on her back as well as the burden of
her babe, she heard a wolf howl in the
forest, and terror quickened her pace.
though she was already fain to sink with
fatigue.
She was midway of the five miles of
unbrOken woods when the howl of the
wolf again smOte her ear, and this time
other voices, one after another, joined
in. The pack had gathered on her trail,
She must climb a tree, one would say
but she didnOt. She did not even throw
away her fish.
The wolves gained upon her moment
by moment, the great gray wolves OF the
North, that stand as high as a man
when they rear. 1t was a mile and a
half to the nearest house when she first
caught a glimpse of the approaching
demons.
She had for the last two miles walked
at her utmost speed, it was now time to
run. Yet she still held firmly her babe
and her fish.
\ quarter of q mile more. and swiftly
as She had passed it, the wolves We're
within a few yards. She could see their
white teeth and hear their lab0Tin@
breath above her own. She lOOSened
and threw down a single fish. and ran
on. The pack soon discovered rare
game, and fought together for its pos
session.
BY the time it was eaten the courage
GUS woman had got a quarter OF "a milo
in advance but the pack was soon at
her heels again. Another fish checked
them, and their snarls and yells as they
again fought each other for bite Of the
soyOry fresh Goldfish hurried The labOTi-
Gus flight of the weary woman.
Her babe. annoyed at the shaking it
received from the rapid pace, at length
cried Justify; calling the wolves TO Te-
neWed pursuit. In vain the poor mother
tried to soOtlG her infant. but another
fish thrown was followed by a fresh
fight ana precious delay Of the pack
Again and again this action was re-
peated until at length the barking Of
two dogs alarmed the wolves, while the
almost exhausted mother ran past the
friendly brutes to the door OF the farm
house, thrown open to receive her.
The great dogs were trained TO their
duty. and no sooner was the fugitive in
the house than they also retired in good
order to the same safe stronghold, leay-
ing the foilcd wolves to rage outside.
and to fail before the guns that were
speedily brought TO bear upon them.
The weary mother found safety and
rest. but whether she saved any of her
fish tradition does not relate.

The rifles were loaded without delay.
but the brutes, thoroughly frightened,
skunk off, and, when the miners had
tOiled some distance. they looked back
and saw the survivors feasting upon the
two that had been killed.
Such a meal was doubtless all they
wished, for awhile at least, and they
showed no disposition to trouble the
men, who, finding themselves sossingu-
larly and happily released from their
prison, bent all their energies toward
reaching their homes.
y long distance remained to be trav-
ersed, and they had a most laborious
task before them, but they pressed for
ward and finally arrived at White Oaks.
and concluded to adjourn all further
prospecting in the mountains until the
coming of more favorable weather.

CAUGHT IN THE TOILs.-SOme curl
Gus instances of retributiOD nave occur
red from time 10 time. In May, 1862, "a
weaver of Nottingham brought home
loin OF veal and told his wife to cook ii
for dinner. As he did not return 20
that meal, she put the veal aside, un-
touched. III the evening he came back
and gave her a steak to prepare Cor him,
saving that he did not care for the veal
then. After eating the steak he COM
planned of horrible pains, and finally
died of commissions. The meat he had
brought in the morning he had rubbed
with poison, hoping that his wife would
eat it, and she had fried the steak in the
drippings of the dish intended for her
destruction. In England, while two
divers were employed III removing the
remnants of a shipwreck, they found a
tim case full of sOvereigns. Both seized
it and struggled for its possession, until
one contrived TO smash the window in
the others helmet The unfortunate
man was drowned, and in hauling his
body to the surface. it became entangled
with The air-jUbe of the other and broke
it. The murderer was found dead be-
side the treasure he had wTested from his
victim. whose fate he shared.
