A Fox In a Fix.

A fox hunt in New York State.
near POughkeepsic, few days ago,
came to au end in the following Sin.
gular manner. The fox took to
the woods in which was IL ledge of
rocks, and in the rocks was fis.
sure fourteen inches wide at the
outside, and just large enough at
the other end for rabbit to crawl
through. The opening or tunnel is
cone shaped. When the hunters
reached the ledge the fox was found
to be firmly wedged into the assure
by the hips, where he had been
been driven by the hounds. All OF
the hunters vainly cndcavored to
extricate the animal.
1t WAS becoming dark aud the
party concluded to return to the
woods the following morning with
n crowbar and pick. At sunrise
the party was on hand. SO was
the fox, alive and well. Several
vigorous blows with slcdge ham.
mcr failed TO loosen the rocks,
which like vice, encompasscd the
fox. A strap from u hunting bag
was wound around the fOrelegs of
the fox and also around the end of
a crowbar. Two OF the hunters
took hold of the end of the crow
bar and used it as n lever. The
forclegs of the fox were literally
wrenchcd from the sockets. Rarely,
if ever, a fox makes II cry of pain,
but in this instance plaintive wall
was uttered 10y the animal. To put
an end to it's misery It was shot.

Drink Pure Water.

First in Importance, in the SAM.
tary regulation OF q household, is
the securing of wholesome water tor
drinking purposes. Too great care
cannot be exercised in this, for most
of the malarial disorders incident to
our semi.tropicai climate arise from
neglect to purify the water used as
drink.
In this city, the water generally
consumed for this purpose is rain
water, collected from the root and
kept in a cistcrn. Now, it is oUvi,
Gus, that besides water, this cistern
will also receive all the dust and ac.
cretions accumulated upon the roof
during dry weather, and further,
that these accretions are for most
part organic and decomposable mat.
ter blown up from the streets, fully
capable of tainting the water and
rendering it unfit for use. In neigh
borhoods where pigeons are kept
the noxious quality ofthis root wash.
ing is greatly heightened.
Besides the organic matter col
lected from the air by the rain in it's
decent, and that already spoken OF,
there will be the bodies of numerous
lara insects that make the cistern
n Breeding piace-and the decay of
these give rise TO gases of highly
noxious nature. Again, as water
is q great absorbent of gases, espec.
tally of ammonia, sulphurretted
hydrogen and ammonia sulphide,
and as most cisterns are placed quite
close to the outhOuscs-there will
DO found additional and most of the
cistern water employed in this city.
The publication of cistern water
being any easy and inexpensive mat,
ter, there is no reason for the eyiS.
tence of the evil referred tn. All
cisterns may be kept in perfect con
,ition in the following manner:
LIST. Where practicable, the first
water coming from the roof during
a rain, should be diverted, from the
cistern, until the roofwashings are
carried OIL. This will lessen to a
great degree the amount of cistern
impurities.
I'd. To clear the water, six pounds
of lime TO every loco gallons should
be immersed in the cistern. This
precipitates the organic matter, pre-.
vents the growth Of fungi aud breed
ing of insects, and neutralizes all
acid gases absorbed or already gen.
Grated.
Sd. To absorb noxious gas, sack
of coarse, fresE burned charcoal
should be lowered SO as to rest mid
way in the cistern-the proportion
being at least 10 pounds for every
1000 gallons of water. At the end
of every month the charcoal should
be taken out, allowed to dry, fairly
ignited, Queuclied again, we'll wash
cd from ash and replaced.

Terrible Adventure on a French Rail-
road.

A painful accident occurred on the
Northern Railroad just as the mixed
train from Paris to Lillie was moving
ont Of tho Care de St. Just, near Ameins.
One of the guards, while jumping on
the footboard Of his van in the rear Of
the train, slipped and fell between the
van itself and one of the tirst-class car
rieges. He, however, seized the coupling
chains and grasping them with the en-
ergy of despair, shrieked for assistance.
The adjoinining compartment was occu-
pied by Count de Ceste and Viscount de
Canissy, who happened to be looking
out of the window at the time Of the
accident and who Immediately shouted
to the guard to stop, but the train was
by this time rattling ahead at rapid
pace and it was impossible for voices
to be heard. They seized the cords OF
the alarm signal, bnt as fate would have
it the apparatus was out of order. Be-
lieving that the guard would be unable
to hold on much longer they deter
mined to go to his rescue and at the
risk of their own lives they left the car
riage and compelled by the jolting of
the train to cling to the footboard,
dragged themselves along it until they
reached the back Of the compartment.
There they were horriIied to SEQ the
unfortunate guard dangling in semi
conscious state from chains. His feet
were fearfully lacerated by contact with
the ground, and still he clung on in
stinctively, unable, however, to move or
even, apparently. to notice the pres
ence of the two passengers who had so
heroically come to his aid. 1t was evil
dent that his strength was fast failing
him and that he would soon drop under
the wheels from sheer exhaustion. They
therefore dashed forward and grasping
him by the arms dragged him up on the
buffers and thence to the foot-board
How they managed to regain their car
riage with their almost lifeless charge
is a mystery. They did so in safety,
however, and the train soon afterwards
entered Longueau. A telegram was
despatched to the Amiens hospital aud
thither the sufferer was reno, ed in a
precari0us condition, his feet having
been literally worn away up to the
ankle.-Galignani's Messenger.
