On Monday evening, John A Stevens,

the stage, will appear at Harper's Theatre
in bis great drama 1.-THE Unknown" The
play has been very successfully presented
in the east and at ST. Louis and is highly
praised by the leading papers, as possess

A Strange Bedfellow.

sAPRoPos of hunting and fishing, did
you ever hear of a wildcat taking pos
session of spare bed in an inhabited
cabin. Such a case really occurred this
winter in this vicinity, at the herd-house
of Overholt & Grouse. A Mr.. Burns had
been left in charge, and for several
nights, after he had retired, was dis
turbed by scrambling noise in the
chimney, followed by the sight of two
glaring, fiery eye-balls in the opposite
bed, and when he Burns )moved or made
a noise the low, fierce grewl of some wild
animal was heard. This kind of thing
occurring for several nights in success
sion, so discomposed Burns that he final
ly vamoosed the ranch, and for some
time the intruder had things his own
way. With plenty of fat beef and veni-
son in store he must have come to the
conclusion that he had struck comforta-
BILE quarters. John Garrison, a miner,
hearing of the circumstance, made his
way to the herd-house, determined to in
terview the beast that had taken posses
sion. When he arrived at the ranch,
about four O'Clock p. M, he was some
what surprised to find the animal in
bed and disposed to fight for the
establishment, but at sight of the
gun the miner carried he flew up the
chimney and into the brush. Garrison
hung around until dark, then went to
bed, placing his gun where he could
reach it, and quietly waited for Mr.. Cat.
About ten o'clock he heard scrambling
in the monstrous chimney, followed by
the sound of stealthy footsteps across the
floor and the sight of the flaming eyes
peering out at him from the spare bed.
John carefully raised his rifle, took as
good aim as he could in the gloom and
darkness at the shining orbs and fired.
The report of the rifle was followed by a
Northern Ohio journal. [volume] (Painesville, Ohio) 1872-1896, 1880-04-03
Animals That Love Music.

Music affects animals differently. Some
rejoice, and are evidently happy when
listening to it, while others show unmis-
taxable dislike to the sound.
For some years my father lived in an
old hall in the neighborhood of one of
our large towns, and there saw the in
fluence of music upon many animals.
There was beautiful horse, the pride
and delight of us all, and like many
others, he disliked being caught. One
very hot summer day l was sitting at
work in the garden, when old Willy the
gardener appeared, streaming with per-
spiration.
stWhat is the matter, WillyP''
s.Matter enough, miss. There's that
Robert, the uncanny beast; he won't be
caught, all l can do or say. I've give
him corn, and one of the best pears off
the tree; but he's too deep for me-he
snatched the pear, kicked up his heels,
and off he is, laughing at me, at the bot
tom of the meadow
"Well, Willy, what can l do? He
won't let me catch him, you know
cay, but, miss, if you will only just
go in and begin toon on the peanner,
cook says he will come up to the fence
and hearken to you, for he is always a
doing that; and maybe can slip behind
and cotch him.
/ went in at once, not expecting my
stratagem to succeed. But in a few
minutes the saucy creature was standing
quietly listening while l played &c Scots,
wha hae wi Wallace bled." The halter
was soon round his neck, and he went
away to be harnessed, quite happy and
contented.
There was a great popularity about
his taste for music He never would
stay to listen to plaintive song. I soon
observed this, If l played :. Scots, wha
hae,'' he would listen, well pleased. II
l changed the measure and expression,
playing the same air plaintively, he would
toss his head and walk away, as if to say,
'sThat is not my sort of music" Chang.
ing to something martial, he would re-
turn and listen to me.
In this respect he entirely differed from
a beautiful COW we had. She had an
awful temper. She never would go with
the other cows at milking-time. She
liked the cook, and, when not too busy
cook would manage Miss Nancy. When
the cook MIXED her, it was always close
to the fence, near the drawing room. Il
1 were playing, she would stand perfectly
still, yielding her milk without any
trouble, and would remain until ceased
AS long as I played plaintive music-the

The Alpine Horn.

The Alpine Horn is an instrument
made of the bark of a cherry tree, and,
like speaking trumpet. is used to con-
vey sounds to great distance. When
the last rays of the sun gild the SUBMITS
of the Alps, the shepherd who inhabits
the highest peak of these mountains takes
his horn, and cries in a loud voice,
g Praised be the Lord" AS soon as the
neighboring shepherds hear him, they
leave their huts and repeat these words.
The sounds are prolonged many minutes.
while the echoes of the rocks repeat the
name of God. Imagination cannot pict-
ure anything more solemn or sublime
than such a scene. During the silence
that succeeds, the shepherds bend their
knees and pray in the open air, then re-
pair to their huts to rest The sunlight
gliding the tops of these stupendous
mountains, upon which the vault OF
heaven seems to rest, the magnificent
scenery. around, and the voices of the
shepherds sounding from rock to rock
the praise of the Almighty. fill the mind
of every traveller with enthusiasm and
awe
