Desperate Battle Between Man aud DOG.

desperate Battle Between Man aud Dog.
A New York journal relates thrilling
6ght between savage Siberian blood -
hound and its keeper, near that city
The hound is owned by ex Judge Troy,
Of Brooklyn. The dog is named Satan
and wGs confined in a large iron cage
which his keeper, E. Ha,Iing, entered
to feed the brute. Haering set the pan
OF water on the floor.
The man saw that Satan was in one
Of his worst humors, a1d turned to 60
out OF the cage. He had no sooner
turned his back than the animal sprang
upon him. Haering threw himself to
one side, but the dogs paws struck
him on the shoulder, and dog and man
fell to the floor together. Haering
sprang quickly to his feet, and the dog
jumped at him and gunk his teeth into
the mans right arm.
Haeripg, quick as lightning. pitched
the dog over on his back, and was Just
going to jump on his paws, as the brute
recovered himself and sprang for Haer-
ing's throat. With one hand Haering
grasped the dogs leg, and with the other
caught him by the upper eyelid, and did
not let go his hold until he had torn the
animals scalp to the back OF the head.
The dog fell back with Haering on top.
Both got their feet, and Haering sprang
for the gate OF the cage.
The dog dashed at him again, and
Haering clinched the brute and tried to
shut his teeth into his shaggy neck
He failed, but caught the dogs ear with
his teeth and held on until he had cut it
of, and then he hurled the brute to the
floor and fell himself.
Haering then threw himself on the dog
and set his teeth into his throat, and at
the same time grasped the dog by the
upper jaw with his right hand, pressing
down the lower jaw with his left arm
until the flesh at the sides of the dogs
mouth was torn by the strain. Dog and
man struggled about the cage for at leas
five minutes.
At last they reached the door, and
Haering, still keeping his teeth fixed in
the animals neck, lifted him up aud
pinned him against the side of the cage.
Then with his right hand he unbolted
the door of the cage, and got outside.
Haering is severely injured, but is re-
covering. The dog has been poisoned.

Military Skaters.

The corps Of skaters, force peculiar
TO the Norwegian army, has been lately
reorganized, and consists now of five
companies, each OF 110 men, which in
time Of war can be reinforced by calling
in 270 skaters belonging to the land
wehr. The men of this corps are armed
with rifles, and can be maneuvered upon
ice OF over the snow-felds OF the noun
tains with rapidity equal to that ofthe
best trained cavalry. The skates they
use are admirably adapted for travelling
over rough and broken ice or frozen
snow, being six inches broad ard be-
tween nine and ten inches long. In as
cending steep slopes the men take O
zgzag course, tacking up the mountain
side as a ship does against head wind.
As an instance of the speed at which
they can go, it is mentioned that last
winter a messenger dispatched from
Roeraas at three o'clock in the morning,
arrived at Drontheim at $50 in the
evening of the same day, having, conse.
quently, accomplished 100 miles in eigh.
teen and half hours. 1t must be add
ed, however, that Roerass lies some
1000 feet higher than Drontheim, so
that the course of the skater was down
hill the whole way. On the return jour
ney the same man took fitty-four hours
to reach Roeraas from Drontheim, but
the route he took led him over very
rough ard broken snow-felds, which
rendered great caution and slow skating
necessary,

An Icelander, Maioc Urch by name,
had two tame seals at his home near
Portsmouth, N. H. Mr.. Urch's seals
were his pets. They were us tame as
dogs, and dearly loved children to visit
them at their tank. A short time ago
one of the seals died. The other seal
was very sad at the loss OF its compan-
ion, and kept calling out in low, piteous
cries. Mr.. Urch, after while, conclud-
ed to let the living seal 60, so that it
might swim out to sea and find COM
panion. He took the tank to the river
and let the seal ont. The seal swan all
over the river, very glad to be free. 1t
came up alongside several boats and
frightened the boatmen with its peculiar
whistle. Soon, however, it swan back
to where its tank had been. The tank
was not in its former place. The seal
was in distress, and kept moving about,
crying all the time. When it at last
saw the tank on the river.bank, it flop
ped across the beach and got in it,
showing by it's manner that its Joy was
great. Since then the seal has kept in
the tank, refusing to leave it for any
body.

BnlMer's Last Poem.

There is no death! The stars 20 down
To rise upon some fairy shore,
And bright In Heavens jewelod crown
They shine foreyeTmore.
There is no DEATH The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flower.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hanging moss they bear;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the vleWless air.
There is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
For coming Of the May.
There is no DEATH An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loved things away,
And then-we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-lille voice whose Joyous notes
Made gla& these scenes Of sin and strife,
Sings now an Everlasting gong
Amidst the trees OF life.
And when be finds smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taiut or vice,
He bears it to that world OF light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With Joy We welcome them the same,
Except in Tin and pain
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundlees universe
Is life-there are no dead!

Fail Calves.

If the farmer has warm and comfortable
stabing for his stock he will certainly find
that fall calves can be raised more cheapiy
and with less risk than those dropped at any
other time. We took occasion to urge this
idea in these columns some two years ago,
Since then we have been forced, by circum,
stances, to raise good many calves at other
seasons; and we have become more than ever
convinced that the ideas then advanced were
correct We prefer calves dropped in Sep,
TENDER to any other month, for the very good
reason that calves then escape the intense heat
of summer; and during the winter season they
can be pushed" with grain, and in the spring
are ready for the young grass as soon as 1t APP,
pears. The professional breeder likes fall
calves, too, but for the additional reason that
they SHOW" at the September fairs as calves"
when, in reality, they are onl va few days short
of year OLD, and as "yearllngs," when they
are really close to two years old. 1t would
seem that there are tricks even IN the farmers
