A Big Pile of Game-A wildcat.


 A scene which belongs properly to the shores of the New World was witnessed this (Friday) noon in the streets of Hartford, when man was observed walking from the Union depot up to Main street, utterly loaded down with game. Over his shoulders were slung no fewer than fifty rabbits, weighing 2ao pounds and big fierce looking wildcat weighing P pounds.
 The hunter was Benjamin Lunny, young man living at No 29 Wooster street; and he shot all his game in the woods and frozen sHamps of West Granville, Massachusetts border town adjoining the Connecticut bor- der line north of Hartford. In that shoot ing ground Mir. Lunny hunted alone, for a part of three days, having with him full blooded English hound. When he first found the cat, the dog had treed it, and Lunny came up, prepared to attack. The cat, seeing him coming, no longer waited, but leaped down, distance of twenty five feet, directly upon the dog, and with two blows of his formidable claws, and the sim

The Ruling Passion Strong 1n Death.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Mr. John Pope,
 portrait and landscape painter, associate of the National Academy, and member of the Artists Fund society, died at his rooms in Fourth avenue near Nineteenth street, on Wednesday evening, at about half past seven o'clock. On Monday he went to Brooklyn, and on his return was seized by an attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. During the delir- ium of his last hours his ruling passion was more dominant than ever. He called for his palette and brush, saying that he wanted to paint The relative who gave them to him lifted one of the coverings of his bed and arranged it to simulate an effect of drapery in the studio where the painter was accus- toned to work. With palette and brush the dying man began to paint what seemed to him to be landscapes, and as he proceeded visions of exquisitely gradated tones stirred his fevered brain He had found at last. he said, the beauty that all his life he had been struggling for. 'sLet us go to the studio, ? he added, suddenly conscious that he was not there already, and insisting that his wife and two children should get their hats and accompany him. aWe must go to the stu dio,' he exclaimed, when they had prepared

 LONDON, Dec. 3I.-The State trials are wearily progressing The first witness was London reporter, who gave formal evidence concerning the reported speeches of Parnell and others, testifying that they had been de- hvered as they appeared in the papers Counsel for the defence requested the court to allow copies of the testimony to be sup piled daily for the use of counsel, in which request the court acquiesced. Justice Fitz- gerald is said to have privately expressed his despair of being able to go upon the spring circuit owing to the great length to which, in his opinion, the trials would be drawn out. There is but little public interest manifested in the case
 The Tunes says the government land bill has been formed with view of supplement- ing or repairing certain defects in the 1870 act, and that the land bill will not gratify the extreme politicians
 MT. Law, in concluding his speech, said the principles taught by the members of the Land League had been called American prin- ciples, but they might be more properly de- scribed as red Republicanism or Nihllism. He expressed the hope that when this mis- chievous new gospel was abandoned those who it was now his duty to prosecute turn their talents to better account for Ireland's sake He said he hoped the jury would be true to their consciences and return verdict satisfactory to the country. Disor- der, he said must be put down, no matter at what cost. As he resumed his seat there was no manifestation of any kind. The govern ment shorthand reporter was then placed in the witness box to read his notes, made at public meetings attended by the traversers.
 Hennelly is kept in custody awaiting the arrival of the Irish police. The constabulary guard Hennelly's father at Clonbur.
 large number of constables and govern ment reporters who took notes at meetings of the Land League are in attendance at the trial. A barrister has been sent to the west of Ireland on behalf of the traversers to col lect evidence for the defence
 LONDON, Dec. 31.-A dispatch from Rome to the Telegraph says the Propaganda has re- ceived communication from Ireland saying that only three bishops and sixty priests have joined the Land Leaguers. Others have as- sisted at the meetings owing to menaces.
 dispatch from Dublin to the Tunes says There are twenty land meetings to be held on Sunday next, but it is arranged that none of the traversers shall participate in them, nor does Mir. Parnell intend to go to London for the opening of Parliament.
 At meeting of farmers to-day at Enniskil- len the Land League was denounced in very strong terms Several land meetings that had been summoned for tomorrow have been prohibited. The Wexford branches of the Land League will Boycott non- members.

Bold work by Masked Burglars


 NEW YORK, Dec. 31.--Last night the watch man at John A. Beyers grain mills, at the foot of Taylor street, Williamsburg, went out to look after some boats in the WaIlabout canal He returned soon after o'clock, and when he unlocked the door and stepped in- side he was seized by four masked burglars who had forced an entrance in the mills for the purpose of robbing the safe One of the thieves presented a pistol at the watchman' s head and threatened to blow his brains out if he made an outcry or gave an alarm. He mo- ticed that the one who acted as leader of the band and directed their movements wore 8 black mask, which completely covered his face, while the others simply had strips of muslin tied around their faces. They tied him securely to a chair and then proceeded to rob the safe. They drilled two or three holes in it, filled them with powder and blew open one part of it. The vault containing money was not opened. The thieves took out the papers and scattered them about the floor, but did not find anything of value. They then set to work to open the vault con- taining the money, but after working very hard for long time they abandoned their efforts. They robbed the watchman of his watch and pistol, took a pistol from the clerks desk and left. They have not yet been captured.

He replied that as he had not been re-e elected be. could only surmise. The Greenbaek fSeth is only ten mem- bers, including Res Sa. Hyatt Smith of Brooklyn, N Y...Mr Dsssanatyr has not been reelected. There has been great deal of caucusing among the Greenback members relative to their future leader in the House.
 At present it is their intention to make J. Hyatt Smith leader, provided he will accept the position. The Greenbackers are anxious to defeat the proposed funding legislation. They will support MT. Kelly of Pennsylva- nia for the Speakership. The parties in the next House are thus divided: Democrats 137, Republicans 145, Greenbackers 10.
