Food for Eoxas.

Mir. Perkins, Daniels, of Waterford, lost some time ago plump turkey from his poul try yard, killed, as he supposed, by large owl which had been hanging about his prem. ises for several days. He found the mangled turkey few days after in clump of bushes near his house, and taking it home he filled the carcass with poison, carefully replacing it in the spot where it was found. Nothing came of the trap he had laid for the cunning owl, and finding the turkey undisturbed g fortnight ago, he took the poisoned body and ried off when the spring thaw came The re. suit has been that within the last week the bodies of five foxes have been picked ur within few rods of the river bank, poison. ed, it is supposed, by the prepared gobbler -Neeo London TeEe0yan1

Guilford, in common with many other places, is short of coal, owing to the suppo- sition that, as in several previous winters, a supply could be shipped from New York with out very much delay. Fortunately the storm of last Saturday cleared our harbor of ice, and the schooner Menunketuck, Capt. John Seward, cleared this afternoon for New York in tow of tugboat, taking cargo of char coal and wood and expecting return cargo of pig iron for J. s. Spencer's sons, who are nearly out of that commodity.
 The storm of last Saturday caused very little damage here, although there was an abundance of water upon the ground and ger of being carried off.

|r r 4[ Superior Court-Cfvf1 Sfde-Judge Culver.
 This court came in yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. tA
 Judge Culver denied the motion to erase from the docket the case of Morris vs. Peck ham, elsewhere reported. It was not an ap- peal in abatement as stated. Counsel for plaintiff moved to impound the books, but the alleged partnership not being confessed the court would not grant the motion. One hun dred dollars additional bonds were ordered on or before March 1, unless the plaintiff could satisfy the court that the present bond was sufficient.

Clark for plaintiff i; Hull for defendant. In Bull vs. Hine the same question was raised, the copy being wrong in the same particulars The court allowed the pleas.

New York Letter to the Philadelphia Ledger.
Private letters from London bank
ing houses, by this days mail, are
throwing out danger signals" with
reference to the prevailing craze of
the British public for investments in
Mexican bonds and stocks, the prices
of which are rapidly approaching
without any visible reason. For ex-
ample the 3 per cent bonds, which
were down to z not long since, are now
up to 26 and %, with continued eager
ness to buy. Some authorities are
endeavoring to arrest the upward ten
dency by alleging that, as the Mexican
government will be utterly unable to
pay the 100000 900 annual subsidies to
whichit stands committed to the vari-
GUS railway schemes that have been
undertaken by jay Gould and Gen.
eral Grant" the outcome of the whole
thing will be a seizure of the Mexican
seaports by the American government,
in order to enforce the claims of its
citizens, in which case it is asked what
would become of English bond and
stock holders? This, however is look
ed upon as borrowing trouble" and
John Bull, just now, with plethoric
pockets and consols up to 1921, is in

What he is after are investments that

his capital, and these he is bound to
have, no matter how he may be warn

nnlnnel Crafts j Wrirht. Who was

Colonel Crafts j. Wright, who was
the room mate and college chum of
JEFF Davis, and recently entertained
him at Chicago, gives the following
version of the ~pettic0at story:
THE truth Of it is that Mr.. Davis
and his wife we're not travelling togeth'
err at all. he aud a party otgentlemen
we're making their way towards west
ern Texas, on horseback, and were far
in advances of Mrs. Davis, who, with
her sister aud servants and escort,
we're travelling in ambulances. On
the night before their capture they
had heard that they were being follow
ed by banditti, who believed that they
we're carrying away with them all the
Confederate funds, and so they halted
to let the ambulances catch up with
them, which they did Tents we're
then pitched, and the party retired
for the night. Mr.. Davis slept with
his boots on, ready to jump up and
mount his horse &C any moment. 1t
is true that he had taken off his coat.
Well, during the night Wilson's Mich
igan cavalry came up on one side OF
and the Wisconsin cavalry came
up on the other. Each mistook the
other for rebels, and they commenced
firing. Mr.. Davis was, of course
awakened by the firing, and knowing
it was impossible tor any Confederate
soldiers to be there, he jumped up.
Knowing that he was captured. he
thought he might effect his escape
during the confusion, but if he found
that impossible, he decided that he
would stop further ~bloodshed by Civ
ing himselfup. just as he started to
leave the tent, Mrs. Davis reminded
him that he had forgotten his coat F;
and an old cOlored aunty picked up
Mrs. Davis shawl and he threw it over
his shoulders. Mr.. Davis was much
more feeble then than he is now, and,
fearful of the chill OF the air of the
gray of the morning, he kept the
shawl about him. He started out and
tried to find his horse, which he had
left tethered near the tent. But be-
fore he had left the tent the cavalry
men had discovered the identity of
one another, and had surrounded the
little camp with a guard. OF course,
everything was done in less time than
it takes to tell it. Well, Mr.. Davis
found his horse, but it was mounted by
a Wisconsin cavalryman. He then
determined to haunt the shawl in his
horses face in the hope hal he would
real back and dismOunt the cavalry
man, and then be could mount him
and escape. Just as he had removed
the shawl from his shoulders for that
purpose, he found that another caval-
ryman was right behind him. Seeing
then that escape was impossible, he
gave himself up. That is the truth
about the capture; but so far as his
being in Mrs Davis petticoats is con
oerned, thatis simply ridiculous"

AN INTELLIGENT REPTILE.
At Great Risk Of Death to Itself
n Snake Saves a Child's Life.


Carson New Appeal
81 want to tell you how my ohild's
life was saved up in the mountains
the other day." said an old farmer who
came into the Appeal Office yesterday.
"You don't mind an item with a
snake in it do your" Hearing no
reply, the old man continued: Last
Tuesday | was coming down from the
lake with my little girl, when | stopped
the horse aud got out to get a drink at
a spring, my bottle having given out.
While 1 was drinking the horse got
frightened and dashed down the road
with the child in the wagon. l only
had twelve girls, and wouldn't spoil
the set for worlds. Well, | gave up
the horse and child for lost, but | fol-
lowed them up, and presently found
the horse right on the edge of a preci-
pice, at a dead standstill. He couldn't
move an inch. When | got closer |
thought that a trap had caught round
his fetlock and one end had also caught
round a tree. | went to pull the strap
and | jumped about ten feet, for burst
me clear open if is wasn't a rattle
snake that was holding the horse. He
had wound his tail around the horses
leg and his neck was turned three
times around a sapplmg and his teeth
were fast in the wood. He was twelve
feet long sir, for | measured him right
then and there. A few pounds more
strain would have snapped the snake
clear in two. l got the horse away
from the p%recipice. And | might as
we'll tell you the whole truth. The
snake wasn't over five long, for when |
took the strain off he came right back
to his natural size. You know how
elastic a snake is. The child is four
years old and wasn't in the least
frightened. If you put this item in
the weekly send me four copies-I
want EN- for relatives in the east"
