A Fata11y-scared Cat.

A singular thing happened the other day at the house of MT. James Wilson, on Old Mill Hill. The family cat, fine animal to which all were much attached, was in the yard when the dog came upon it suddenly. The cat sprang up a tree and clung to limb quiver- ing in every muscle. The dog was called away, but the cat made no effort to recover itself and continued to cling to the limb and tremble. An attempt was made to rescue it from it's unpleasant position by means of window, but failing in that MT. Wilson went up into the tree after it, but it seemed unable to hold itself and dropped to the ground, where it went into a fit and then lay trembling as it had done ever since frightened by the dog. It finally attempted to crawl up the steps to it's usual sleeping place, but could not, and was carried there and laid down by MT. Wilson. It continued to quiver in the same unnatural way and soon died. It is supposed to have been case of death from pure fear.-Bridgep Standard.

A Modern sIacob.

A Modern s1acObs
 [Philadelphia Telegraph, Paris Letter.l
 was recently told by young French gen. tleman (the son of the Prefect of La Ro- chelle) one of the strangest romances of real life that ever came to my knowledge. Some four years ago peasant boy who lived on a farm near the town of Clermont-Ferrand saw and fell in love with the beautiful daughter of gentleman of good fortune and position, he being at that time seventeen years of age and the young lady just sixteen. This new "Claude Melnotte'' was so madly in love that he went straight to the house of the young girls parents and demanded her hand in mar riage. The father treated the preposterous proposition with goodnatured scorn. 'Come back when you have an income of $4O, 900 (20o, 900 francs), |" was his answer, s'and then we will see about it." The infatuated youth took him at his word, and forthwith set to work. Now one of the peculiaritles of the town of Clermont Ferrand is scarcity Of water. There is no river near it, so 1t relies for it's swater supply on springs and wells
 Under these circumstances spring IS Valu- able piece of property and commands rela- lively high price. So the young peasant lover set of for an adjacent mountain, there to search for hidden springs My informant said that he had honey combed the whole side of the mountain with his works, constructing at one point tunnel over two miles in length. All this was executed with his own hands. He works from dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes of his own planting, and never spendsso much | as sou upon mug of beer. Every Sunday he goes to mass in the town. after which he proceeds to the house of his lady-love, to ask | if she is married or likely to be. On receiv- l ing a response in the negative he plots con- tentedly homeward, and starts out afresh to | his toll on the morrow. This life has contin- ued now for full four years. Up to the pres | ent time he has discovered three important l springs, each of which he sold for $5, 900, but, though now possessed of what for man | in his condition of life is wealth, he abates none of the hardships of his existence. He | has one fixed idea, namely, to become the possessor of fortune sufficient to enable him to claim the hand of the object of his blind l passion. Yet no one who knows the parties even imagines that the young lady will ever consent to marry him. She is now twenty years of age, and is pretty, refined and ac. | complished, while he is a coarse, unlettered peasant, without even physical comeliness, as | he is short and thick-set with broad stoli6 l countenance What will be the end of his dream,- wonder? :? Will he go mad or breal his heart the day that he finds his beloved either married or betrothed? Or will he die | some day of pr1vation and overWork, with 2 vision of success before his eyes?

The Caucusess


 Middlesex county was the first to report gate They were in favor of Ingersoll or Simpson for delegate at large and appointed a committee of three to confer with New Haven county on the subject. David Wright, of Westbrook, presided at the Middlesex caucus.
 The New Haven county caucus had busi- ness on its hands, and after an hours sit ting the members came out of their room looking heated and thirsty, having been hopelessly divided among the names of Parsons, Gallagher, Plunkett Simpson of Wallingford, and Durand of Derby. They gave it up for the night and resume the de- bate in the morning. A strong probability is that the choice will fall either upon ex-Gover- nor Ingerson or Mir. Simpson of Wallingford for delegate at large, and Gallagher for coun- ty dele gate.
 New London county had protracted ses- sion also, and nominated Thomas M. Waller for delegate at large, but chose no county delegate.
 Windham agreed, for it's part of the Sd dis tFict, upon David A. Wells for delegate at large, and MT. Greanslit for county delegate. Whether the gifted Waller would come out ahead was a question of much interest in the throngs of solid Democrats in the Hobbies of the Allyn.
 The First district goes for A. E. Burr for delegate at large. Hartford county has it's caucus in the mornin.
