White Deer.

It has always been a superstition
among the hunters Of Pike county, Penn,
that to kill white deer would take
away all good luck from any one so
thoughtless as to fire the fatal shot.
White deer are among the rare animals
that roam the woods. They are SO rare,
in fact, that many people believe them
to be myths. Old hunters declare that
they have seen deers as white as sncw
bounding over the Pike county ridges
in years gone BY, and relate instances
of the fate which overlook men who
were so rash as to kill them. Awell-
known resident of the county expresses
his sacred belief in the superstition, and
relates singular incident to show how
we'll founded it is.
White deer, he says, are all gone
from our woods now, the last one having
been killedin 1872 by Hornbeck Sinner
and two others. That deer was well
known to all the old hunters, but of
course none of them ever raised gun
against it. Hornbeck Sinner moved
away from this county about the time
| the war broke out, made some money in
| the army, and bought the Exchange
| hotel property in Wilkesbarre. In 1879
he was worth $80, ,000. He was a good
hunter, having learned how while he
lived along the Lackawaxen. While
camping up on the Shohola in the fall
of '72 with Il. e. Bevans, of Port Jeryis,
and Henry Frank, think his name was,
| of Luzerne county, they heard that the
white deer had been seen over near
Greening's. In spite OF the protests Of
| the local hunters with them, they de-
termined to drive the ridge for the
deer and kill it. They succeeded in
starting the deer, and all got a shot at
| it, killing it and bringing it into camp.
Not long afterward Sinners health be-
| gan to fail, although he wBs as rugged
and strong as an OK before, and still q
young man. He died lingering death
two or three years afterward. You all
know that he was brought to the old
homestead up the river and buried. II
was found that within year or 60 he
| had become involved financially. He
i died in the midst Of domestic trouble,
and out Of the fortune he had in 1872
there was hardly anything left. His
/ property In Wilkesbarre- was all run
down, and was scattered at public sale
| in 1874 Henry Frank failed in business
and died with q malignant disease, with
scarcely enough money to bury him de!

A Chance for Inventors.

a Louisiana sugar planter writes to
the Scientific Amsyscan that there is
great need in the South for machine
chat will crush or grind up shucked
ears Of corn, as they come from the
field, into coarse meal Of corn, cob,
and husks, and do il rapidly. Hc is
aware that there is q machine that will
crush corn in the ear thoroughly, one ear
az time what he wants IS something
chat will receive bushel of ears on
nubbins at once, and crush, say,
twenty bushels an hour. One Of the
great troubles OF sugar planters, he
says, is the preparation Of food for their
mules. To crush corn IN the ear with
existing appliances, the corn has to
be husked, costing much labor, and
there Is apt I'd be great loss OF small
ears. A fortune awaits the inventor Of
machine to crush by the wholesale
corn, cob, and shucks together" Here
is chance for inventors
