DEFEATED BOTH CoMMITTEEs.-Mr. Cox, OF
New York, to-day signaliy defeated both the
committee on ways and means and the apprn-
priation committee. BY a special order fixed
last week, the ways and means committee was
given to-day for reports from that committee.
Mr. Cox antagoniZed the committee with the
census bill, and although Speaker Randall aided
chairman Wood the House gave preference to
the census committee. Finding that the ways
ana means committee had been beaten, Mr.
Haze, In the absence OF Mr.. Atkins tried to have
me House consider the legislative apprOpria-
llon Dill; but this also failed and the census
committee was assigned the floor. 1t was re-
lnarkea as rather strange that in the closing
nays OF srSsion, with a rush OF real work on
nand, tnat the two most important committees
OF lne House had not strength enough to pro-

Doctor,s Fight with IA wildcat.
Bangor (Me.) Whig, March l4.l

DR.. C. +. Ware, of Bucksport, had
rather an exciting experience with n
loup-cervier last Tuesday evening. Some
of his friends had been spending the
evening at his house, which is situated on
Seminary Hill, and at about 9o'clock the
Doctor took a small lamp and started for
the cellar after some apples.
A portion of the cellar is used for pill
ing wood, and as he neared the bottom OF
the stairs he heard footsteps, and then
some of the wood ratified down, as If a
man was moving about in the cellar.
Raising his lamp in order to get better
view, the doctor advanced few steps,
when he saw huge loup-cervier that had
made its way through basement door
that had been accidentally left open.
Eie picked up stick to club the animal.
but it Jumped from one side of the cellar
to the other SO rapidly that he could not
strike it. He then went up stairs and
procured revolver, and after telling the
folks to keep the sitting-room door closed
he returned to the cellar.
This time he found the loup-cerviei
pcrched on the edge of the coal bin ano
shot at it, when the animal jumped tc
the top of the woodpile, some fifteen feet
distant. The Doctor then tried another
shot, and as the lamp chimney fell off
leaving him i'll total darkness, he wa'
obliged to go up stairs and get another
lamp. On his return to the cellar ht
fired two more shots, when the lamp
chimney again fell off, and while in the
dark the loup-cervier bounded past hin
and ran up the stairs and start
ed up second flight, but be
ing unable to proceed on &c
count of door, he came down again ant
rushed into the pantry. Here he pcrchct
himself upon a large oil-can, where he re
mained until the Doctor fired anothe
shot, when he started out of the pantry
and, being attracted by tn light comm
through window over the sitting-roon
door, he made a jump for it, bu
h fell back again and ran down cellar. iii
course was marked with blooo
which was flowing quite freely
and, after procuring a lantern, tn
Doctor followed him to the cellar
where he again fired, when, much to hi
disgust, the conclusion put the lanter
out. He went up stairs and lighted
again, but on his return he found thu
the loup-cervier had disappeared, and, ;
there are no tracks leading from til
house, it is supposed that the amin,
crawled under the wood and died.
was quite remarkable that during tt
Z whole fight the loup-cervier did not a
tack the Doctor.

A CANADIAN LOCKOUT,

In 1865 the United States abrogated
the reciprocity treaty with Canada, since
which time our goods have to great ex-
tent been admitted free Of duty. For
the intervening thirteen years the Cana
dians have enjoyed no corresponding ad-
vantages of free trade with the States.
The lumber and one or two other trifling
interests, which led 10 the abrogstion of
the treaty were probably somewhat hene-
fted by that act, and as for the interven-
ing time Canada remained virtually open
to the producers and manufacturers Of
this country, no very marked change
took place in the commercial relations oi
the two countries. The advantage, how
ever, was mostly on the side of the States
Now this is all changed, On the l4tf
inst. new tariff bill Was passed by the
Dominion Parliament, and has become
law. This bill virtually shuts out
American bread stuAs, and vii
drive our manufacturers Of hat
and caps, sewing machines, irol

solid for free trade, opposed the bill, still
clinging to the hope that the Unite
States would return to some degree OF re
ciprocity, and are bitterly opposed t
the duty on breadstuffs. They admit
however, that some increase of the tari
was necessary as means to raise NOR
revenue.
Mr.. Tilley, the Canadian Minister Q
Finance, in discussing the recently passe
bill, said that larger proportion OF Ca'
ada's revenues must be derived from I'll
United States than from England, and

ABOUT twenty wears ago some gentle
men whose love Of the chase exceeded
their discretion. brought two pairs OF red
foxes from Virginia and turned them
loose in Tennr,5ec with the expectation
that they would multiply their species
in that section As these animals are rs
prolific as rabbits, every female adding
her quota Of about forty to the fox popu-
lation annually, the promoters Of the en-
terprise were no, disappointed in their
expectations. But the farmers were, for
the foxes increased to such an extent
that they have now become the terror OF
several counties, appropriating for their
own purposes the choicest poultry OF the
barn-yards and seizing upon tender pigs
and lambs the moment they venture be-
yond the maternal vigilance. They prove
to be altogether too willy for sportsmcn,
dogs or traps; and now, while the sturdy
farmers see their pork and poultry disap-
pearing, they call down lnaledictions on
the heads OF those men who instituted
the propagation of foxes, and cry to the
Legislature for relief The only remedy
the law-giyers can propose, however, is to
offer reward for their seal ps, and if there
is one thing more than another that will
inspire fox to sit on his launches and
laugh with immoderation it is the sight
of proclamation offering reward fol
his pelt.

that of the latter, but this expectation
had not been realized. The Canadian
Government was in favor of a reciprocity
of tariffs in the hope of judicious re-
ciprocity of trade, and when the United
States are willing to take off any portion
of their duty We are ready to meet
them" The new tariff it is estimated
will add about 81, 200, 900 to the revenue,
and, to a greater or less extent, American
industries must suffer for the follies of
American legislation, The Canadians
are already rejoicing over tidal wave
of prosperity at the expense of the
United States, and they have causes.
