ENCOUNTER WITH WOLVES

Waupaca, Aug. II. - Report
comes from the town of DAYTON of
a terrible encounter of man with
seven wolves. He is farmer, and
owns large herd of sheep. He
went to drive them home the other
night, and in passing a swamp he
heard a snarling and barking. He
had taken an old musket along,
thinking perhaps he might shoot a
partridge or some small game, and
had loaded it with No. 4 shot. Not
feeling unsafe, he advanced toward
the sound, and there he saw two old
wolves and five three quarter-grown
whelps wrangling and fighting over
the dead body of a sheep. He got
to within two rods of them before
they heard him, when he fired into
their midst. Immediately the whole
seven came bounding toward him,
and before he had time to climb
tree they were full upon him. He
reversed the gun and used it for
club. The fight lasted an hour. and
SO savage and ferocious were the
wolves one after another Of their
number received a death-stroke
from the old musket that they
pounced upon their fallen comrade
and proceeded to devour him; at
this juncture the farmer would rush
in with his gun and kill another,
hauling one or both of the dead bod
les back to the tree near where the
fight took place. He did this, he
atterward said, to save their carcass
es, as there is a bounty Of 81 on
each wolf killed in Waupaca coun-
ty. After the half hours skirmish
the seven wolves lay dead at the
farmers feet. He was unable to car
ry their carcasses home, so he took
out large knife he had in his peck
ct, skinned the whole seven, saved
their seven skulls, and to-day APP
piled to the County Clerk for his
SIT bounty, besides obtaining fair
price for their skins. During the
fight he had every bit of clothing
torn from his body, his hands and
legs badly bitten, and the lower
part Of his ear snapped off.

RESCUED FROM DEATH.

The following statement of William ]. Cough
lin of Somerville, Mass is so remarkable that
we beg to ask for II the attention of our readers
He says: I'm the fall of 1876 | was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs followed by a
severe cough. L soon began to lose my appetite
and flesh. L was SO weak at one time that !
could not leave my bed. In the summer of 1877
] was admitted to the City Hospital. While
there the doctors said had hole in my left
lung as big as half dollar. l expended over a
hundred dollars in doctors and medicines. Twas

RACING FOR LIFE.
HOW 4 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER PRE-
VENTED A TERRIBLE DISASTER.

Deeds of daring are never scarce
in frontier settlements, and the news
ratherer. who is always in search of
the sensational and interesting,
every day meets with incidents
wherein the heroic nature Of man
stands in prominent relief. Only
Yesterday The Journal contained
the particulars Of a locomotive trip
during which great dangers were
unwaveringly faced, and now anoth-
er act of bravery Of railroad en-
gfneer deserves attention. At Pan
tano Wednesday afternoon the brake
of a flat car loaded with ties be-
came loosened in some inexpllcable
manner, and the car began to move
down the steep grade toward Glen
ega. A by-stander jumped aboard
and endeavored to tighten the brake.
He, however, found them unmana-
geable. Another tried and failed.
A regular brakeman then boarded
the car and quickly discovered that
the brakes were out OF order. The
car by that time had increased its
speed to nearly twenty miles an hour
and to remain upon it would be al
most certain death when the first
washout was reached. He, there
fore called to the other two men on
the car to Jump, and this they did.
Engineer Frank Shaw at this time
was sitting on his engine at Pantano
and attached to his locomotive was
a car filled with Cinnamon. He at
once realized the terrible result, il
this runaway fat Car was allowed to
proceed unchecked on It's way, for a
score or more Of laborers were en-
gagged far down a deep gulch in the
Cienega Pass strengthening the
braces of a broken bridge that span
ned it. They would not be able to
hear the approaching car, and il
would soon crash through the weak
ened timbers and probably crush
many beneath its weight. As these
thoughts flashed through his mind
he pulled wide open the throttle
valve, and started in pursuit of the
fast receding car. 1t was race fol-
life and Shaw was soon laundering
down the track at sixty miles al
hour, with the carload of terrified
Cinnamon behind him. The flat
car ahead was increasing speed al
every turn of the wheels, and the
grade there is very steep. The 10.
comotive, however, kept gaining
and finally Shaw, placing the lever
in charge of his fireman, crawled tC
the cowcatcher, and, taking the
heavy coupling rod in his hand
stood in that perlious position wait
ing until the car was reached. The
chasn where the men were work.
ing came in sight, and still the fu-
gative car was two hundred yards
away. He called to his fireman tc
open wider the valve, and the labor.
ing engine made a lurch that show.
ed she had felt the increased vol
ume of steam. They sped on with
lighting rapidity. The space be
tween them gradually lessened
Shaw stood with rod in one hand
and a coupling pin in the other
Finally the few feet that interviewed
disappeared, and with a dexterity
that comes from practice and coo
brain, the coupling was made. Tht
locomotive was reversed, and the
train came to a standstill, and with
id fifty feet of the bridge. This is
the way one man saved many lives

THE Tyre bird might probably be
called the Australian hooking bird,
for besides its own peculiar note, it
initiates the song Of other birds,
and even human voices. A saw
mill was at one time situated among
the Australian mountains where
these birds were known to have
their haunts. On holidays, when
the mill was stopped and all was
still, from out the wild, unbroken
forests came sounds of human laugh
ter and singing, barking of dogs,
even an imitation of the rough, ras-
pingnoise OF the saw,mingling with
notes of all kinds Of birds, and at
intervals the sharp, shrill JuUen-
bullen, which betrayed the Tyre
bird as the initiative singer. Eff
forts have been made to raise the
young of the Tyre bird, but they in
variably droop and die after a few
months of captivity.

THE FAMILY SCRAP-BooK.-

THE FAMILY SCRAP-BooK.-In
many papers which you do not care
to preserve you will find items OF
interest which are worth saving.
To meet this case, make a scrap
book. You can get from Junk
dealer, some old books with good
bindings, as, for example, old blot
tiers, day-books, journals, ETC., OF
defunct firms, or public reports OF
all descriptions. Always index the
contents of your book. You will
find it tedious work, but it is worth
a mine when done. 1t is not bad
plan to cut slips from policical pap
ers from time to time, which rep
resent your views politically. a
back look at these will give You an
idea of how men change, and will
tend to make a man less partisan.
On all accounts a scrap-book is in
valuable.

The SHAAIRoCK.-A learned writ
er in the New York Tribune in

held sacred as an emblem of the
Persian Triads. In the fifth cen
tury-says history-St. Patrick
was sent to Ireland as a mission

leaf to illustrate the doctrine of the
Trinity. The people, accepting
the doctrine, ever after commem-
grated the event by wearing a
bunch Of this grass on the saints

turned from Europe, brought back
from Ireland the veritable sham
