THE HUNTING SEASON.
From the Pail Mali Gazette. Oct 81.

From the Pail Mall Gazette, Oct. IL.
Although certain changes in the management Of
various packs have to be recorded. comparison Of
the list Of hounds-as published by the FIELD which
may be regarded as the official journal of hunting
men-with those OF previous years shows that more
hounds will be kept in the United Kingdom this
than ever there were before. There al
together exclusive of several scratch packs that do
not care to make their existence known beyond
their own borders. 343 packs Of staahounds. fox
hounds, barriers and beagles. numbering about
10000 couples of hounds and hunting upon ths

Ireland has packs of staghounds (123 coupes IL
OF foxhounds 76l couples) and ~ OF barriers l75S

packs of foxhounds $3.50 couples) and Of beagles 81

packs OF staghOunds (425 coupes, 167 packs of fox
hounds 524 couples), lao packs OF barriers Il 1877

already stated the average number of hunting days
is three a week, the foxhounds averaging more and
the barriers less that the 343 packs may be said

quent one season than they are another. Thus the
year before last hounds were scarcely stopped for
single day, while last season the number OF open
days in some counties less than the number OF
stoppages. The consequence WAS that many coun-
ties overstocked with foxes when the season
came to end, and the enforced delay in cub hunt
ing was ali the more annoying because masters and
huntsmen DESTROYS of letting their young hounds
taste more blood than usual. Nevertheless. in
these districts good use has been made Of the CON-

counties, where it often happens that coverts ara

WAS IT A Whale?
Il Singular Story iOtd by a Norwegian
VesseL- Captain.

IoooCe~CNPt"t"s
New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Rotterdam
steamship, P. Calard, which arrived this
evening, brought Capt. Larsen and eleven
men, the crew of the Norwegian bark Col
umbia, which was sunk September 4, on the
voyage from London to Quebec, in the fol
lowing remarkable manner: The bark was
sailing at the rate of six miles an hour. 1t
was nearly noon, and the vessel was off the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Sud
deMly the bark stopped as if she had struck
a rock, and the crew were thrown of
their feet. Capt. Larsen says that on look.
ing over the guards he discovered about sixty
feet of the white belly of some sort of sea
monster lying almost motiouless bv the
ships side, while the surrounding water was
tinged with blood. He could not zee
enough of the creature to make out whether
1t was an enormous swordfsh, whale, or
the legendary sea serpent. An examination
of the creature was prevented by the cry of
the crew that the. ship was rapidly filing
The captain found that the entire bow of the
ship had been stove in, and that laundering
was inevitable. The crew had barely time
to launch the two long boats and get
away with stock of provisions and a
short supply of water when the Columbia
went down, head foremost. About p. M. of
the same day the crew We're picked up by the
P. Calard. In the f,Il of 1876 the Cunarder
Scythia, just after leaving the harbpr OF
Queenstown, was disabled by the breaking IF
her propeller on q whale. 1t will he re,uem-
bered that the half-sunken schooner Waldo

months toward the Grand banks. II it we're
not for the blood of the sea monster and his
white belly the Waldoboro might be reckoned

SOCIAL SENSATION.

Sudden Termination OF Matrinaouia l
E"0agensent-A disappointed audience
Mysterious Disappearance of the Bride
Elect.
CENTERv1LLE, QUEEN ANNE COUNTY, Nd,
September ga somewhat romantic en-
gagement, disappointed audience that had
assemble to witness the wedding ceremony,
the mysterious disappearance and probable
snicide of the bride elect and the sudden de-
parture of the groom that was to be, are the
elements upon which rumor has built up
quite sensational story In this vicinity dur
ing the past few days. The lady referred to
is Mrs George w. Taylor, an eminently re-
spectacle widow of great wealth, IGN stand
ing, stylish ana attractive. She has long
been distinguished as woman of culture
and rare personal charms. She entertained
handsomely, was greatly admired, and, it is
said, has refused more than one desirable
offer. In the circle in which she shone so
brilliantly. she aas regarded by some as &C.
centric, but her freaks were not of such a
character as to affect in the slightest her
standing or position in society until Thurs
day evening.
Among other admirers of Mrs. Taylor was
j. w. Merchant, the superintendent of the
LADY, estate, and the intimacy between the
two eliminated in an engagement of mar
rloge. Thursday evening was the time ap-
pointed for the wedding, and the Methodist
Protestant church at Centerville as the place
for the ceremony to take place. The church
was brilliantly lighted at the appointed time
and the edi6ce thronged. The clergyman
was in the pulpit and all was in readiness
for the nuptials, which were, however, de-
| layed by the non appearance of the blide. A
hurried consultation with the minister en-
sued, and the audience was subsequently no.
| titled that the wedding CEREMONY would not
take place at that time. Tue visitors quietly
dispersed, the lights were extirguished. and
since that time the episode has furnished
material for gossip, and various stories are
in circulation in respect to the singular af-
fair. . ...- ..f 80
After closing the church the minister
called upon Mrs. Taylor for an explanation,
but she refused to see him or any one else.
She remained in her own apart ments until
Sunday night. at which time she left her
residence and has not since been seen. On
her bureau was found note intimating an
Intention of com hitting suicide.
Mr.. Merchant purchased q ticket for New
York yesterday, and left for that city on the
early train.
It is possible that there has been an elope-
ment, but as Mrs. Taylor had no one to con-
suit in connection with any contemplated
matrimonial venture, her friends are at q
loss to explain her remarkable and mysteri-

Francisco.
San Francisco Chronicle, August %.
A large concourse of people visited the
Golden Gate Park conservatory last night
to pay their tribute of admiration to the
Victoria Regia, tho wonderful colossal lily
which blooms in the night only. This was
the first appearance of the second flower, the
first one having faded. A raised platform
has been constructed to afford better view
of the pond. on the surface of which repose
the gigantic circular leaves, with their Gu
1ious raised rims. In the center of the pool
rested the wonderful lily, its Wilderness indi-
eating that it was at the first of the three
stages of its life, which endures for three
days. Tonight the lily will be of beauti-
When the flower begins to bloom it exhales
q delicious pineapple odor which is plainly
discernible. The present flower will bloom
for the last time tomorrow evening, and
one of the three buds which have made
their appearance under the water
will open into floral loneliness
on Monday night. The appear
ance of the leaves on the water is far more
striking when viewed by artificial light than
when seen in the daytime, and an open opera
glass will, in the evening, show the colors
and proportions of the lily far more distinct
ly than the uaaided eye. large proportion
of the crowd which thronged the building
last evening were ladies, there being about
one hundred of them, and as many as could
be conveniently accommodated. Most of
them expressed the greatest admiration for
the marvellous leaves and flowers.
Besides the Victoria Regia the aquatic de-
partment of the conservatory is also in pos
session of specimen of the rare Nymphia
Divoniensis, night-blooming, rose bud
water lily, which is quite as uncommon as
its giant cousin. All the other plants grow
ing in the pond are wonders in their way,
notably the lotus of the Nile, which Is, how
ever, out of bloom for the season; also some
specimens of the Egyptian papyrus; the first
known material from which the product
axes its name.

An Eve on q Spree.

An Allegheny physician, who, in his way,
is great wag, tells story of North Side
gentleman who for years has suffered from
periodical attacks of what in medical par
lance is known as superorbital neuralgia.
Qulnine proved of no effect, and the sufferer
was almost crazed with pain. A kind heart
ed old lady living in the neighborhood OF
the patient informed him that if he would
cut the affected nerve with q pair of scissors
or knife it would give him no further trou-
bic. 1t SO happens that the superorbital
nerve is the one which controls the action of
the eye lid, and when man is in liquor
this nerve becomes paralyzed, and it is this
that gives drunken person such comical
expression about the eyes. The neuralgia
patient no sooner heard what he supposed
the welcome news from the old lady than he
repaired to a closet, and, with a jack knife,
parted in twain the offending nerve, and he
now greets his friends with his right eye as
sober as Quaker in Quarterly Meeting,
and the left in highly intoxicated con-
dition.
