A Pipe Line.

The oil pipe line extending from Brad
ford county to Williamsport, Pa, has been
completed, and the pumping of oil into the
pipes commenced. The pipes are SIX inches
in diameter, and the line extends one hun
dred miles over rough country, including
high hills and rugged mountains. Though
there is an actual descent, it requires some
forcing power to overcome the ascents made
by the line of pipes. There are two pump
ing stations at the starting point, oor-
ryyille, and the other at Coudersport, Pot
ter county, 22I miles from Corryville. The
pump at the latter point has to overcome an
elevation of 200 feet, but from that poin'
to Williamsport there is fall of ., 100 feet
The lowest capacity of the line is estimated
at 5000 barrels daily. Extensive refineriei
are to be established at Williamsport, ant
the buildings for one have been some TIM
in progress Others will follow If the pip
line proves a success, and second line !
already projected.

The Boy and the Deer.

How boy captured deer in Kentucky
il thus told by an eye witness. ''ln an
hour or SO we first heard the distant bay OF
the hounds. From the cry, as 1t continued
the deer seemed to be circling around In
the hills, instead of making straight run
for the river as was usual. We remained
almost stationary, not knowing which course
the hunt would take, and the music became
less and less, until we heard the long bay
of one hound only. But to our great JOY,
that voice was coming our way. From the
length of time the game had been afoot,
we concluded that the dogs had become
tired and left the trail, with the exception
of the staunch old hound, whose voice we
could occasionally hear as he unfiinchlngiy
followed the quarry. Nearer and nearer
came the sound. We dismounted, tight
ened cirths and waited Our horses were
as highly excited as ourselves, and we could
with difficulty curb their impatience. we
were stationed on the high road leading To-
ward the village, and the deer was evil

he came, a noble buck, gallantly bounding

the road, and not more than hundred yards
away from us. We put spurs to our horses

as he dashed through the woods. He was
very tired The dogs had pressed him
hard and he had probably run twenty miles
before he arrived at the point where we
met him. Soon the noble old hound came
in sight, and as he saw us he burst INTO such
melody that we joined him AT the utmost
stretch of our lungs. On we pressed, rap

through which the chase seemed fated to
take us. Soon we came To large corn
field, which was surrounded by 'staked

not Jump it, and looked to see where the
deer had gone in. We found the place, and
tearing off the top rail leaped our horses in
TO the corn. Rushing through we arrived
at the other extremity of the field just in
time to see the deer attempt to jump the
fence. The dog was close at his heels and
sprang upon him, and catching him by the
flank prevented his leap. The poor animal
was evidently worn out with his long run,
but he gallantly charged the dog, and leap

point at which he had entered the field.

A Fight with a Bear.

Just at daybreak, we came TO a crossing
of the bayou where We felt sure the bear
must pass on the way to his den. Harvey
placed me, the dogs and himself. A fallen
tree was in my front, and through its inter
laced roots could see in every direction.
Hardly had we completed our ambush
when quick movement of one of the dogs
startled me. But, in moment, noticing
that his looks were directed towards the
cross. / too looked thither, and heard the
sound of heavy animal sauntering slowly
over the sodden ground and approaching
nv lair. In an instant pair of yellow
eyes glared at me, and with as wide look
of surprise as there was in mine. Re

which appeared like a huge, animated black
cloud as he rose up before me. The brute
disappeared with the smoke of my gun, but
in moment was startled by the report
and shock of a second discharge. The
other load of my gun had been accidently
exploded. Looking in the direction that
| the bear had taken, | saw he had run along
the other side of the fallen tree and met al
the farther end the two dogs, when he
! turned about and came toward me at his
most rapid speed and in savage humor.
| Then there was a fearful crash and rush.
The black mass came on, with eyes gleam'
ing, and bewildering me with the reflection
of their glare in the sunlight.

and so instinctively grasped my pistol, but
found it hopelessly entangled in my belt.
| For second. despair came upon me, but q

prompted me to defence for life. Quickly

thrust as the dark mass sprang at me.

Electric t.eIs.

The gymnotus, or electrical eel, Is rather
more serpentine in form than the common
eel, and frequently attains a great size. II
is found in the rivers and marshes of South
America, where the natives fish for 1t in
singular manner. NJ. BOupland describes
scene witnessed by him in one Of the marshy
pools Of Venezuela. About 80 horses and
mules were driven into the water by a NUM-
Der of Indians, who armed with long canes
and harpOOns, prevented them from return
ING to the banks until the object of the bat
tue was attained The trampling of the
horses, and the shouts of the Indians, soon
produced a scene of wild excitement.
Writhing on the surface of the water, and
gliding under the bellies of the horses, the
gymnoti discharged through them repeated
shocks from electric batteries, while che
poor. bewildered brIteS, convulsed ahd ter
rified, their names erect and their eyes Start
ling with pain and anguish, made frequent
unavaiIino efforts to escape. The eelS, from
fonr 10 six feet in length and livid in color,
had the appearance OF great water serpents'
and one in particular was observed which
discharged the whole power OF It's battery
along the belly of horse. In less than
quarter of sn hour the electrical energy OF
/ the eels lecame exhausted, and thou IN some
/ of the horses and mules had been benumbed
and drowned, the greater number scrambled
shore and recovered. The eelS in their ex
hausted state were easily captured The
extraordinary power of the gymnotus was
placed beyond doubt few years ago when
living specimens Of this fish were exhibited
inthe Adelaide Gallery and Polytechnic insti-
tuition, London The eillUstrious Faraday took
the opportunity of experimenting upon it,
and established to his own satisfaction the
identity Of its peculiar power with tia OF
v,ltaic electricity of peculiar intensity
Tie eel he experimental with was only 4o
inches long, vet it produced a succession 'f
shocks at short intervals, affected the gal

WHAT MY LIFE Is LIKE,

My life is like the shattered wreck.
Cast by the waves upon the shore
The broken mast, the rifted deck,
Tell of the shipwreek that is Ger
Yet from the relics of the storm
The mariner his raft will form
Again to tempt the faithless sea
But hope rebuilds no barque for ME.
Ny life is like the blighted oak.
That lifts its sere and withered form,
Scsthed by the ightning's sudden stroke,
Sternly TO meet the coming storm
Yet round that sapless trunk will twine
The curling tendrils of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart,
Not to the passion-blishted heart
My life is like the desert rock,
In the midocean, lone and drear,
Worn by the wild waves ceaseless shock
That round its base their surges rear
Yet there the sea moss still will cling.
Some flower will find cleft to spring,
And breathe cen there sweet perfume /;
For me hfe's flowers no more will bloom
Nv life is like the desert waste,
By human footsteps seldom pressed
The eye no freshness there can trace
No verdant spot, on which to rest
Yet cen among these sands so drear
The stork will tend her young with care
Fen there the notes of joy imrart,
But naught can cheer my lonely heart.

About a Crow.

A tame crow awoke up the summer
boarders at a house at Boothbay Point, Me-,
by getting upon the roof and letting stones
drop from his beak. These stones roil
down the roof and make lively clatter,
which arouses the dodgers in time to enable
them to dress for breakfast. The crow,
for pay for his trouble, steals all the tobac
co mines he finds on the windowsills.
