A New FORK Fireman's Brave Deed.

In September, 1868, the residence of
James Gordon Bennett, founder of the
New York Herald, was on fire. The ac-
ton of the New York fire department on
that occasion prompted Mr.. Bennett to
place in the hands of three trustees, on
April l3, 1869, 81 500, the income (which
they were directed to use in procuring
annually gold medal, to be struck from
a die, and conferred on the fireman who
may be best entitled 10 that reward. AL
though but ten years have elapsed since
Mr.. Bennett placed this trust in the
keeping of the trustees they have had
made and presented fourteen medals.
Daniel j. Meagher, foreman of a hook
and ladder company, was the last re-
cipient of the medal; the story of the
brave act for which it was awarded to
him being told as follows:
At midnight on the second day of
May, 1878, fire was discovered on the
upper floors of % East Fourteenth street.
The alarm was sounded for station 339.
Foreman Meagher, of Hook and Ladder
Company 3, with his Command, was in
front of the burning building in less than
two minutes from the time. the alarm
was sounded, and on his arrival he saw
a woman partly hanging out of the
fourth story window. He ordered a
fOrty-two feet ladder placed against the
building. This was done, but it proved
to be about ten feet short. He ordered
that it be placed on the highest step of
the front stOop. Fireman Flood assembled
the ladder, which was still too short to
reach the woman. AT this point Fire
man Flood unfortunately seriously in
jured his foot. Severe pain for mo-
meHt paralyzed his efforts. Foreman
Meagher, taking in the situation at a
glance, ordered that the ladder be held
erect and away from the building, so as
to get all the length possible. He then
assembled until he stood on next to the
top round of the ladder, fifty-two feet
from the sidewalk. His head was Just
even with the feet of the woman. He
uttered some words of encouragement,
and in a calm but decided manner di-
rected her to hold her limbs and body
as rigid rs possible. Then, all being
ready, he told her TO drop. She did So
He caught her in one arm, steadying
himself by the power of his legs and one
hand on the top of the ladder. lie
passed her to his comrade, Fireman
Flood, who. notwithstanding the intense
pain he Was suffering, carried the fright
ened woman TO the sidewalk in safety.
For this act Of cool, well-planned and
determined bravery the trustees decided
that the Bennett medal for 1878 should
be awarded TO Foreman Daniel j.
Meagher.

The Dumb Creatures.

The So 600 dogs of St. Petersburg
bring to the city treasury $4,000 per
year, 50 being the tax upon each dog.
A dog washed from passing schooner
recently swan ashore, a distance of
nearly four miles, near Watch Hill
K. l.
A setter dog in Lee county, Ala, at
tackled large hawk in baInyard and
whipped it in a fair fight.
A Bath (Me., cat after several I'M
successful attempts to catch a pigeon,
put corn kennels on the sidewalk before
post, behind which she hid, and soon
had material enough for supper.
An aged dog committed suicide at
Manchester, N. H., by walking into the
water and laying down till the tide
came in and drowned him, notwith-
standing all his masters Efforts to get
him out.
Mr.. Upper, a farmer who lives above
Columbus, Ca, has given us the follow
ing rat story: He was going out to his
corn crib the other morning, he says,
when he saw large rat, with head
erect, carrying full-sized ear of corn in
his mouth, while at the same time his
tail was wrapped around another large
ear which he was dragging behind him.
Friday, gentleman living in Lection,
Ca, had his eyeglasses yanked from his
nose and devoured by mule. A wit
ness of this remarkable spectacle says
the mule seemed to know of the defect
i've vision of the gentleman, and waited
deliberately for his approach, taking off
the glasses and gulping them down as il
they had been delicious morsel of hay.
At New Philadelphia, Ohio, q huge
dog in attempting to scale high fence
into yard, missed his calculations and
landed at the bottom of the well, sixty
Sect deep. The family thought the
water rather "riley" next morning, but
could not account for it. About noon
the hired girl upon looking into the
well discovered pair of cleaning eyes
staring ut her from the bottom. Help
was obtained and the dog drawn up He
was in the well about fifteen hours, and
kept alive by swimming all the time.
A cockatoo who has seen half CEN
tury of shine and shade was presented
by his master three years ago to the zou-
logical gardens, Philadelphia. Upon his
return from Europe recently the gentle
man went to the gardens, and standing
where the bird could see him, called
him by name. The cockatoo at once
recognized his voice, and flew about the
cage in state of intense excitement
When the former master went up to the
cage the bird became almost frantic
with joy The door of the cage was
opened and the bird at once perched
upon the visitors shoulder and per-
formed many tricks which he had
learned in the old days.
