assault with a dangerous weapon in Ira d.
Sturgis' logging camp on Cold Stream. One
day last week John Hamilton, rough char.
acter from Augusta, seized cant-dog and
without any provocation began beating fel'
low laborer named Warren Withee, over the
head He struck him three blows with this
instrument and then resOrted to his fist to
complete what he declared to be nothing
short of murder. But for the interference Of
the crew he would have accomplished his de-
sire in short time as Withee was seriously
injured. Constable Smith Of Solon went and
arrested Hamilton and on Friday afternoon he
was arraigned before Justice McIntire of So
lon. The testimony was conclusive and the
prisoner did not deny the assault. 1t appeared
there had never been any trouble between
them and nothing was said by Withee at the
time for Hamilton to take offense al. Hewal

sum of six hundred dollars, and in default
was committed to Norridgewock jail, where
he now is. 1t is said Hamilton is an old Of

fully handle, dash headlong after these
hogs over all sorts OF ground, up and down
steep banks, catching one out OK nearly
every drove they scare up. Last summer
they caught over thirty in this manner.
When the lasso is thrown on the head and
feet of hog and he is stretched out so
that he can do no more harm, the boy
gets down from his horse and ties tho
hogs feet with some rope carried along
for the purpose. His horse stands as
firmly without as with a rider, being
trained to that work aud never having
done any other. A wagon is sent for the
hog which is placed in strong pen and
soon tanned so that it can be fatlened for
market. A few days ago the boy was
riding in the underground when he start
ed up deer. Putting spurs to his horse
he got near enough to throw his lasso on
its horns, but he did rot have time to
fasten the other end of his lasso to his
saddle before the fleet footed animal was
off with rope and all. These children
have been riding constantly ever since
they were big enough to sit on a horse.

York Minister.

Nearly every traveller has seen York
Minister, and those who have not are IA
miliar with its appearance, both from
drawings and descriptions. Suffice it to
say that, If a line were fixed on any angle
of the building and drawn tightly round it,
it would Inc Asure about quarter of mile,
and every part of this vast edifice is cover
ed with the richest and grandest carvings
known In architecture. Every period of
design is represented, from the rude
Norman limitations OF the Roman work,
with which the island was even then
studded to the time when The eighth
Henry laid his heavy hand OH monster
les; aud as | write this am reminded, by
referring to date, that this is the fitch
anniversary of the day on which one iona
than Martin fired York Minister and
burned the wonderful carvings of the
stalls and roof. A national subscription,
amounting TO some G65,000, was soon
raised to restore it, but such sum would
have to be more than doubled to enable
contractor to perform similar work at
the present day A second fire aim ost as
destructive broke out in another part of
the vast pile only ii years after. Some
reeollections of this minister are not very
pleasant. The Jews used to keep in its
wardenship a record OF their loans, and
the populace, not remembering that the
borrowers became borrowers Of their own
free will, broke into the cathedral, and
burned all the documents. But, unhappi
~, they did not do this without having
previously committed great and wanton
outrages on law-abiding people. When
Richard /. came to the throne, the "Lion
atsff faI nj Of a ~
and persecution to be perpetrated on his
Jewish subjects. These were very
numerous and powerful in York; indeed,
their principal quarters in Market street
and Laverthorpe were until recently
called Jubbargate and Jewbury. A
simple narration of the massacre seems
hardly credible especially if we remember
that in those times the principal actors
were merely mulct in nominal fines. One
Benet appears to have been the principal
Jew in the city, and his house was attack
ed by an armed mob, and he and his
family murdered. About 500 others,
being forewarned, fled to the castle, and
took their gold with them; and as they
refused permission TO the warden to enter,
the Sheriff perm tied the populace, and
especially their debtors, to attack them in
their stronghold. Hunger overcame them,
but as they could not hope for humanity
from their assailants, they set fire to the
castle, and hid such wealth as conld not
be destroyed Then these poor creatures
slew each other to prevent their falling
into the hands of the enemy, and few,
offering to become Christians, surrendered
to the mob, but were Immediately slain.
Richard, who was in France, seemed to
think the proceeding was hardly iustiflble,
in the interests Of the wrong doors Bel

Bold Feats of Child Riders.

A gentleman who lives on the STAINS.
laus River, close to its junction with the
San Joaquin, told o Mail reporter this
morning what he never would have be-
lieyed had he not known his informant 10
be entirely trustworthy. He said that
near his place are boy and girl, the
former about twelve and the other four
teen years OF age, who frequently jump
into the addle in the morning and ride
al day amoog droves of wild cattle which
would surely gore them to death should
they become unseated. Both carry
lariats, and Il they see calf in the drove
that has escaped being marked they run
on to it, the boy throwing his rope and
catching it by the bead and the girl
catching 1t by the feet, after which the
ears and brisket are duly cut. But this is
not all. On the ranch is large bottom Of
underground, in which roam hundreds Of
wild hogs. OF these the bears are very
ierocious and will fight when pressed the
least bit The children, mounted on
their we'll trained horses and carrying in
their hands the lasso which they so skill.

Visitors to the geological garden have
noticed down in the lower end of the
grounds, a little to the right of the place
here the polar bears are kept, line of
low, rambling buidi Is built against the
fences which separates the ground from a
long strip Of land |, ing between the gar
dens and the New York branch of the
Pennsy lvsnis railroad The last Of these
building is a good deal better than the
rest, being a tall, close, frame shanty of
pine boards and having n door TO it, The
others, smaller, more uneven and without
any doors, are nothing more than mere
sheds or stalls. Always In front Of them
viii be seen pile of clover h.y, with a
half dozen, more or less, sorry looking
hurs es, the sole occupants of the sheds,
feeding thereon. An inspection of these
animals will usually show plethora of de.
fects in the way of damaged eyes or spa
vine1 joints or broken wind all, in the
maj ority Of instances, being the regular
acc ON ailments of old age, and being but
another way Of describing horse broken
down by weight of years, and past his
stage of usefulness. Occasionally younger
animals may be seen in the stalls but these
are also suffer ng from some atfiiction of
body or limb, and stand on the same footing
as the rest "A
These horses, once they get under the
Above described sheds, have all one com.
mon destiny--lhey are to be killed and
| dressed as food for the animals of the zoos
logical gardens. The amount of food con-
sumed daily by the animals, large and
small, is no little. The chief meat eating
auimals are the lions. tiger, leopsrds, pumas
and hyenas. Althogher they consume
alb )ut II, pounds of horse meat day.
Four horses week is the usual average in
keeping up the supply of these animals
slon6. Next in point of heavy feeding
comes the elephants. Their chief food is
hay of which it takes about four times as
much to keep an elephant as it does to
keep horse, the elephant eating about 100
pounds of hay every twenty four hours,
And in order to keep up his appetite the
hay must be the best going. being invsri-
ably timothy of the best grade. Other an
i'm Ia that eat hay are the giraffes, the
camels, the deer, zebra and different an
imals Of the cattle species Most of these are
fed on what is known vs. mixed hay, timothy
and clover. which 10 about 20 per cent
| cheaper than the timothy alone. Two
wagon loads of hay evey week is about
the amount used. Each wagon load is
supposed contain 1900 weight or ton
! and half The price for Ii notify is about
$40 per ton, which makes three tons per
week equal to $50 The mixed hay cost in
the neigh borhoOd of $l8 a ton, thus max
ing the weekly cost Of that necessary
supply $751; which added to the go, gives
the We ky cost of hay alone in tho sum
Of $l14.
