NUMBER A..


A gentleman of Hartford, Connecti-
cut, was annoyed, and so was his wife,
by the calculating audncity of veto
ran rat, which dciied every means that
had been taken 10 keep him ont of the
house, lie even gnawod his way into
the sugar bowl. The lady put il next
night in secure place and placed
tightly over the bowl its ssolid earthen-
ware cover; but next morning il was
apparent that the rat had been in the
sugar bowl again. He had lifted up
the cover. He treated steel traps and
wire traps with contempt, and stuck
to the getting II good fill of il
every night-liftiIg or the cover to
get into the bowl. Finally the bowl
was covered and then placed in a tight
round wooden box, on which Il cover
was also snugly fitted; but in the
morning it was found that the rat had
been there and got OF both covers.
He was at last captured 10y placing
sugar on Il newspaper stretched over
barrel of water, the paper being cut so
as to let him fall in.
Another resident of that city being
troubled with rats, set large circular
wire trap, to which there were two
doors, one inside the other, and so
placed as to fall down firmly after the
rat got in. \ cunning old repent,
managed to hold up the inner door,
lifting it on his back, in such II way
as to enable him to get out after eat
ing the cheese; and this he did night
after night, until an additional wire
was so fastened across the door as to
prevent him from lifting it, and so he
was caught. He was placed finally in
II tight room and n cat let in. She
"tried him on" but he whipped her,
and she fled from him. One after an
other, six eats borrowed from the
nei@hbors, were let in to tackle" that
rat, and all of them showed the white
feather. The rat was finally killed by
knocking him on the head.

In response to resolution of the
House Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads, calling upon the Secretary of
war "for information as to the saving
in expenditures resulting to the Gov
ernment from the construction of the
Northern Pacific Railroad" Mr. Me-
Lane, Chairman of the committee, re-
ceived communication from Secre-
tary Ramsey, inc!osing Il report OF
Gen. sherman and n report of the
Quartermaster-Gen The latter is
voluminOus, and goes into the details
of various contracts for military trans
portation made by the Government
during the past 10 years. 1t states
that the total cost to the Qartcrmaster's :
Department for transportation over
the Northern Pacific Railroad during
the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1877,
was $7l $50 Il, and if the same trans
portation rates had been applied in
1869, lone year before the Northern
Pacific Railroad was opened between
any points in the Department of Da-
kota,) the Government would havs
saved over 800, 900, that the Quarter
masters Department paid fully six
times rs much for transportation to all
parts of the department now reached
by railroad as it has since the railroads
were constructed, which should indi-
cate n saving to the Government of
over S3,0O0,000 in the cost of mill
tary transportation duringth lOyears
the Northern Pacific Railroad has been
in operation. Six days per 100 miles
for mule transportation and eight days
per 100 miles for OK transportation,
in the Department of Dakota in 1869.
The Northern Pacific Railroad prob
ably transports stores as long dis
tance in one hour as the wagons and
teams did in one day, and delivers
stores at their destination in much
better condition.

most destructive, and in short time
came together. A cloud which was
conical In shape came to the ground
near the grove travelling eastward.

thing before it demo olishing farm
houses, barns and other buildings and
carrying some Of them bodily for hun

The Eruption OF Coiima.

The volcano of Colima, near the Pa
cilic coast, directly west Of the city of
Mexico, was in active eruption in the
forepart OF May. The first symptoms
of activity were manifested on the
first. a dispatch from Mexico, dated
May 5th, says: The eruption at night
is full of splendor and grandeur. Last
night lurii flames shot up from the
crater or the volcano, Illuminating the
darkness for miles around. lncande-
scent stones are also thrown up, to-
gether with showers of ashes, which
darkcn the atmosphere in daytime.
The fire, smoke, ashes and stones are
accompanied with dreadful subter-
ranpan thundcrings and frightfnl and
unearthly noises under the volcano,
together with quakings of the earth.
Inhabitants of villages and towns in
the vicinity of the mountain are in
state of panic and wild terror They
are indeed in danger in ease OF flow
of lava.
Colima Is l. GOO feet high, and forms
the southwestern extremity of

the following picture of the arrival of
Capt. Noyes' vessel from China:
This morning about ) o'clock, the
bark C0tOmn, Captain Noycs, arrived
ut Flanders dock from Hong Kong,
having on board 250 Cinnamon, most
of them intended to work on the rail-
roads. AS soon rs the vessel was made
fast to the dock the babel commenced,
and was kept up without the inter
mission of II second until the last coolie
had left the wharf. The Custom House
officers took charge of the bark as soon
rs possible, and then the search for
opium commenced, the Johns all the
while jabbering and clawing lills lot
of monkeys. Fifteen of the Cinnamon
were taken to the Astoria boat and
shipped to one of the canneries, where
they will probably have some Oregon
sense thumped into them before they
grow much older. The rest, PIG. were
stood all talking ut once, waiting for
their worldly goods to he packed on II
truck; and rs soon rs one was loaded
the entire mob made grand rush for
the truck, all intent on riding upon il.
Then the fun commenced between the
driver and 20 or 80 celestials, and fl
nally ending in the truckman driving
off with load of Cinnamon and an
other load running alongside, for fear
something would get away. About
fifty young wharf rats added their mite
to the general confusion by jostling
and chatling the coolies, pulling their
pig tails at every opportunity and
pocketing everything they could lay
their hands on. The COiomo brought
700 tons of merchandise, mostly rice.
