That Scared u Negro into Fits and Killed
Farm Animals.
Orange county, N. Y, is greatly excited
about 4 mysterious beast which is said to
make nOctural raids around the neishbor
hood. There is only one persona negro
who will swear that he has seen the strange
animal, but there are scores Of persons
who claim to have seen evidences Of his
depredatiOns on adjacent farms, and to
have heard its unearthly screams when
startled by the approach of men. The negro
says that he suddenly met with it at the
mouth of cave on tho farm Of Mr..
Green, and that it stood erect to the
height of seven or eight feet and screech-
ed SD loudly that it frightened him SO bad
ly that he tainted. When he regained his
senses the animal had gone. Parties have
explored tho mouth Of the cave on Green's S
farm, and while they claim to have dis
covered evidences of the whereabouts of
some strange animal they have failed to
come up with it. Yesterday it is said that
a dead dog, with its back broken, was
found near the mouth Of the cave, and part
Of a sleeps skin and cntrails were also
close to the entrance. A party is being
organized to search for and kill the strange
animal, but the negro will not be OF the
party.

THE CENSUS.
The Centre OF Population In 1880.

AUo NcuuO u FOpulNuOu la AooVs
A census bulletin just issued shows that
the centre of population, according to the
censns of 1880, is in latitude $50 o. OS''
north, and longitude $40 3Y 40" west.
The position of the Old Observatory, Mount
Adams, Cincinnati, is Latitude, 800 OG'
26".5 ; longitude. $40 2y 45". The cen-
tire of population for 1880 is, therefore, &c
miles south of this observatory, and SO
miles west of it. That is, it is 9.3 miles
west by south from the observatory, or 8
miles west by south from the heart of the
city of Cincinnati. This places it in Ken
lucky, one mile from the south bank of
the Ohio river, and one and q half miles
southeast of the village of Taylorsville.

A BOYS QUEER STORY.
Going to fsed at His Homo In Cincinl
H0 AWakes In PennsylYania.

NiOlnE I'D kt0O 8C hlS mono 10 C10C10nat
He Awalkes In Pennsylvania.
At very early hour Thursday morning
while tho trackman on duty at Derry
station, on the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was watching the water trough,
he discovered boy about 13 years of age,
apparently lying asleep behind the trough.
The trackman endeavOred to awake him,
but for time he was unsuccessful, as the
boy was evidently under the influence of
some narcotic. The man summoned aid
and the boy was carried to tho station
where they finally succeeded in arousing
him from the stupor. The boy said his
name was Arthur G. Smith. a son of Judge
Fayette Smith, of 43O West Thirtieth
street, Cincinnati, Ohio, and that on
Monday night he went to bed at his home
as usual, and from that time until he
awoke at Derry he remembered nothing.
His story was told in straightforward
manner and is generally credited by the
officers of the railroad, although it favors
strongly of sensationalism.
The boy was brought to Pittsburgh.
Dispatches had been received by the rail
road authorities from the boys parents in
Cincinnati, asking that he be sent home,
and he started from here on the o'clock
train. The boy is very bright lad. He
is neatly and cleanly dressed and evidently
has not been rOughing it. He says he was
chained or fastened in some way to the
track. He cannot remember anything that
happened to him since Monday night, when
he went to bed after having been to a
minstrel performance with his mother.
He insists that hc was carried off by some
one who had been in court before his
father and who had grudse against tho
judge. The railroal officials think inc ran
Oft from home, but be denies it emphatic
ally and says he has no cause to leave his
parents. His story thus far has been
corrObOrated.

In the United States district court, Phila-
dclphia, yesterday, Andrew F. Glcssner, Il
hoy of fifteen, was placed on trial for send
ing obscene literature through the mails.
Glessner was detected by means of dccOy
letter of Anthony Comstock, agent of the
Society for the Suppression Of Vice. 1t will
be remembered that this lad, who was in y
printing Office Of York, was detected
through the Lancaster postoffice, whittier
he sent his publications TO some students
and other correspondents. When his case
was called in Philadelphia yesterday and
laid before the court Judge Butler
thought the lad had been sufficiently
punished, he having be incarcerated
in Jail, and in consideration of
his extreme youth suggested that the gov
ernmcnt abandon the case. Mr.. Valcn-
tine was fully in accord with the views of
the court, and the jury were instructed to
return verdict of not guilty. Judge But
Ter then stood Glessner up and gave him a
good lecture. Agent COmstOck, who was
present and who had pressed strongly for
the conviction of the boy, said the society
he represented should he justified in their
efforts to suppress the publication OF OBJ
scene literature. Judge Butler replied
that the society had been fully justified,
that the objects Of the association were
praiscworthy and should be encouraged,
but that the boy had been sufficiently
punished. The disposition Of the case
seemed to seriously effect Mr.: ComstOck,
who gesticulated violently, and made re-
peated statements of the desire to have
the society justified. Judge Butler indig-
nantly remarked Take your seat, sir.
