A curious case bearing on Sunday
travel has just been decided in the Mas
sachusetts Supreme Court. In August.
1876, Mr.. Il. +. Beecher WAS travelling
on the Fitchburg road, when COLLATION.
took place about o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Beecher was injured, and
brought suit to recover damages. The
main question that arose was whether or
no he was travelling for necessity or
charity. Mr.. Beecher testified that his
Object in going TO Boston was to meet q
sick sister on her way from Minnesota
aud that lac bad no other business in
Boston except TO get | is mail and sup
ply Of funds. Tie jury held that lie
was justified in travelling on Sunday. and
the railroad took exception and carried
the case to the Supreme Court. which
hAs decided that there was no evidence
which would justify jury in finding
that the plaintiff vas travelling from nc.
cessity or charity within the meaning of
the statute.

How did the Dog know the Way?

In late number of the Popular
Science Monthly there is very m
decreasing article, which details the
experiments made by certain Ohio
physician to ascertain whether the
faculty which some animals possess of
returning to their homes by nearly
direct course after beng carried to a
great distance by q circuitous route is
TO be attributed to scent. memory or
any other ineligible cause. Every
body, Of course, is aware of the fact a
cat may be put III bag and taken
ever so far away from Its accustomed
hearth, and by ever SO round about q
journey, and yet turn up again in due
time at the old place-its ability to
set back being apparently limited on
~ by lnsuperable obstacles. The sub
Ject OF the Ohio cXperimenters was
dog. The way they went to work
and the result is thus described:
A dog was made insensiblc with
ether at Cincinnati, put into wicker
basket, started on train of the Gin
cinnati Southern Railroad, first south.
west to Danville Junction, thence
east to Grab Orchard, and finally
north to hunting rendezvous near
Berea, iii Madison county. This cir
cuitous route was taken because on n
former occasion when the dog had
returned from q point one hundred
and sixty miles distant from his home,
II was suspected that lie might have
found his way back by simply revers-
ing his course on the railway by which
he had come. At Berea the dog was
shut up securely over night and we'll
ted. The next mor.ing &c was taken
out to a clearing on the top of II
grassy knob at some distance from
the. railway, ard let loose. Without
any preliminary survey he skunk Oft
into ravine, scrambled up the op.
posite bank, and struck first on trot
and then on swift gallop, not toward
Crab Orchard, j. e., southeast, bat
due forth, in n bee line for Cincin-
natl. lie ran not like an animal that
had lost its way but like horse on a
tramway,' straight ahead with his nose
we'll up, rs if he were following an
air line toward visible goal. He
made a short detour to the left to
avoid lateral ravine, but further up
he resumed his original course, leaped
a rail fence and went headlong into
a coplce Of cedar bushes, where they
finally lost sight of him. The report
OF The eXpcriInenters was forwarded
to the owner by rail and on the after
noon OF the next day, after receiving
this report the owner met the dog on
the streets IN Cincinnati, wet, full of
bnrrs and remorsc, and apparently
ashamed of his tardiness.'

The Feelings OF One Freezing.

Jasper Perley, q Cataraueus county

of thorough manipulation and rubbing,
Porley was brought arou nd, when n few

nearly to his normal condition. He
thanked his restorers very heartily, and
gave an account ofhis misfortune, which
affords some inkiing of the sensations
Of people who freeze to death.
When ho felt no longer able TO hold
the reins with any grip. he determined
to seek shelter in the first house un.il

then his arms, sharp pains ran down his
back, and fiaally it seemed az though
his whole body was being CONCEALED,

An OUNCE OF PREVENTATIVE

A Sacramento dispatch says:
the fact that a number of cases Of
small pox have been imported via the
Central Pacific railroad by immigrants
from Chicago, and that four counties
Of the state have become infested from
that source, the state board Of health
has addessed a communication to the
governor, recommending that the over
land immigrant trains be inspected at
Truckee or some point near the boun-
dairy line Of the state, and II any per-
son be found to present evidences Of
varioloid, they and car or cars in which
they are passengers be quarantined.
The cars disinfected, and all other pas
sengers undergo compulsory vaccina-
ton gr~atuitously. The board also rec
ommends the inspection Of express
trains. The governor replies, suggest
ing the posting of inspectors both on
the Central and Southern Pacific lines
and placing Mt the disposal of the board
In addition to the regular appropriation
for Its uses, such funds as are at Its dis
posal to meet extraordinary emergen-
cies. The railroad companies promise
to cooperate with the board. The
board Of health will at once arrange
the detail Of quarantine.
