Deer on Ice.

Clay Rice, an old hunter of Lyon
county, Kentucky, went over into the
Missouri swamps, back of the town of
New Madrid, few weeks ago, and
there met with an extraordinary run of
luck in deer shooting. He, with his
son and companion of the latter. killed
ninetysthree deer in as many hours
Rice ascribes his success to a sheet of
water under which the whole country,
by reason of recent storms, rested. At
various points in the swamp lands
small islands or ridges stuck up Just
above the overflow, and upon these
islands the deer congTegated. Shortly
after the arrival of Rice and his fellows
a cold snap covered the water with a
thick sheeting of ice, and as the deer
were unable to run with speed over the
slippery surface the hunters found every
advantage in their favor. Rice on one
occasion killed eight royal bucks with
out moving from his tracks. and on an
other two of the party, having hemmed
in a herd of fifty, killed eighteen of
them. Six of the eighteen were caught
without shot, as they fell on the ice and
remained there, though resisting franti-
cally until their throats had been cut
with a bowie. Many of the incidents
of the hunt were exciting in the ex-
treme, and no painting could do justice
to the picturesqueness of some of the
scenes.

Fire.FIshing.

Captain Squyer, of st. Johns, Florida,
recently gave to party of Northerners
an exhibition of fire-tishing at mid
night. Four men and two women were
slowed away in small boat, which was
propelled by means of a pole. In the
bow of the boat stood the captain with a
lighted lightwood torch in one hand and
a harpoOn or four-pronged spear in the
other. A fat-pine fire also burned in
the bow, casting brilliant light on the
water. The boat was pushed along in
water from one to two feet deep, and its
occupants were able to see the smallest
fish much better than though it were
midday. The glaring light seemed to
blind the fish, who lay motionless on
the sand. A we'll directed thrust with
the harpOOn would be sure to land fine
fellow into the boat. Many interesting
sights were seen on the sand-hats,
among them numerous sheepsheads fast
asleep on their backs. The sheepshead,
as seen at the bottom by a turpentine
light, looks like a little white streak

Save the Rags.

The price of paper has been advanced
from six and one-half to ten cents all
over the country. If this price is main
tanned, the public will he compelled to
pay more for their newspapers. Many
daily papers have already increased
their price from twenty cents TO thirty
cents per week, and weekly papers from
81. so to $500.
The advance in paper can be stopped
if the people will save and sell their old
paper and rags. Three months saving
of rags and old paper by the entire popu-
lation, and selling them in the markets,
would check the advance paper. Rags
are worth three TO three and one-half
cents per pound.
Every newspaper in the land should
appeal to the people in this matter. And
they should also ecOnomize in the con-
sumption as much as possible.
