The Largest Oak.

The Antiquary says that the largest oak in
England is that in the parish of Cowthorpe
West Riding of Yorkshire. 1t is hollow, and
some forty men could stand within its trunk.
1t is believed to be about 1900 years old. The
Cowthorpe oak, which stands on the land of
Andrew Montague, a great proprietor, is
larger than the Greendole oak at welbeck.
A few years ago the boughs extended sixty
feet from the trunk.

An old farmer OF bradford County,
Tenn, had desperate struggle with
two wolves, which he found in hit
befht .
A few mornings ago White went
out to the barn to feed his stock. Az
he reached the barn he heard an un.
usual commotion inside.
Thinking some of the animals had
broken loose, no did not open the
door, lest they should escape, but
squeezed himself through large ap-
erture loft by n broken board.
AS soon as he entered, the uproar
increased, and he saw in the middle
of the burn floor hoifer which had
torn herself from the stanchion by
main force, and broken one horn in
the act.
Clinchirg to her muzzle was a large
gray wolf, with its long, sharp teeth
fastened in the animals nose with q
bull dog grip, while another was try
ing to hamstring the poor creature.
The believing of the heifcr, the
snarling of the wolves, and the rat
ling of the loose barn floor made a
dcafening sacket, and the human in
truder was unnoticed.
Old Whites anger at the attack on
his stock overmastered all feelings Of
prudence, and, seizing q pitchfork, he
prepared himself for on attack.
No sooner did the wolves preceive
him than, maddened by the taste Of
blood, they turned from the heifer and
attacted him.
AS one of the infuriated animals
sprang toward the old man, he dealt
tia mighty blow with the fork send
ing it into corner.
But the other animal caught its
teeth in the old manss right coat
sleeve, and in such close quarters that
the weapon was Of no avail,
Alter kicking uselessly at the ani-
NAL he grasped its throat with his
left hand and checked the wolf until
it let 60.
Then selling again the pitchfork he
dealt y well direcled blow and broke
the leg of one of the animals, which
then lodged through the hole behind
him and limped off bowling with dis
may.
The other wolf held its ground
and whenever an opportunity was Off

4 TEXAS STORY.

Texas preachers are said to be very
eccentric, and their mild unnatural
ness has given rise to u great many
remarks and a few stories. The fol-
lowing narrative was told us conf
dentially. by slanderer:
A minister arcs, before large au-
dience, took his textand began preach
ing. A brisk firing of pistols began
on the outside Of the church.
Brother Deacon said the minister,
i believe those fellows are casting IL
situations at me. lii fact, l am
very nearly convinced he continued,
as piece Of rlastering fell from the
wall close to his head
4 think, parson, that it refers Il
some one else, replied the deacon.
The minister raised a tumbler Of
water, and was in the act of applying
it to his lips, when the glass fell shat
tered by a bullet.
This is an innuendo no longer, said
the minister, wiping the water from
his vest This is what | term an un-
m!stakable thrust. The congregation
will please sing while I 90 out and
investigate this matter. Is there an
other preacher in the house?'
Yes said a man, throwing down a
stick which he had been wkittling,
arising aud pulling at the waist of
his pants like man who had Just
Strengthened up after setting out a
row of tobacco across ii broad field.
Got on an extra?'
yes,
'Unlimber.'
The whiting preacher handed over
a large Remington pistol, which the
inSulted preacher took and, drawing
one from his belt started out. After
going out there was an immediate i'm
proyement in the firing business. 1t
was decidedly more lifelike, insomuch
that the deakins sat working their
fingers. After while TIE minister
returned, and placing an ear and the
nostril and a half Of nose on the
pulpit, remarked: He that hath
ears to hear, let him behave himself.
The sermon then proceeded without
interruption.

SURGERY EXTRAORDINARY.

School boy essays tell us Of the ex-
traordinary intelligence and sagacity
of the dog, but yesterday we learned
of a stronger manifestation of reason
or instinct which is it?] than was
ever portrayed in boyish composition.
1t seems almost incredible, but it can
be VERIFIED if necessary, by person.
al visit.
David Hussler, residing on Eof1
street; between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth, south side, owns a
setter dog which had always been no
ted for its intelligence. SOME time
in December it was badly injured by
sleigh, which ran over his right leg
badly bruislng and perhaps breaking
it. But now comes the singular part
of the story. From want Of attention
modification set in the woundedl limb,
and the intelligent brute ghawed it
off, actually amputated it. But the
gangrene crept up, and twice more
the dog performed the surgical opera
tion, neatly gnowing off his leg. The
last time the bone protrhlcd,. and he
gnawed it off even. The final opera
tion removed the gangrene portion
and the dog is now in a fair way to
recover.
This is really tho most extraordi-
nary case on record. We often hear
foxes and mushrats amputating their
limbs to free themselves from traps,
but never of sucha a surgical operation
as this. II any one is inclined to bs
skeptical, he can remove his doubts
by calling on Mr.. Hessler, and see
ing for himself. f.--Wheeling Regis
