A Fighting Owl.

LII the breasted a certain owl not far
from Plymouth, in England, the mater
nal instinct is something remarkably
strong and unrelenting, as a savage fight
she recently had with two men album
dainty shows. Near a farmers house in
an elm tree lived this owl, with her
mate and q numerous family Of young
ones After a time, the parents preyed
SO frequently and disastrously upon the
farmers chickens in the yard neal by
that two of the farmers sons resolved to
get rid of them. One of the SONS climbed
the elm tree and captured two OF the
young owls, which he had kept some
days, when, oil showing II of them to
a friend in the yard, the mother sWooped
down upon him and inflicted with her
bill, a e blow upon his head. He
dropped the young bird at once, and
with a stick attacked the mother, but to
little purpose, for she wounded him in
one eye SO severely that he had to with
draw from the field, and will probably
lose the sight Of his eye. Near by, at
the time, was the wounded Young mans
father, who thereupon killed the two
young birds, when he and the other son
were Immediately attacked by themother
owl. and both were wounded badly in
the neck before the fight was over.

LETTER FROM PROF. cLINGAN
Some More Rich Strikes in the Montana
District.
Editors Of The River Press:

Editors Of The River Press:
] suppose that you and all the rest OF
the mining company will be glad TO hear
that Dutro has struck it rich and has got
as big a thing III the quartz line as there
has been discovered in the Belt noun
tains.
We are Just midway between the rich
strike of Hughes and others at the head
of Carpenter creek, and the big mines
of the Montana district, at Neihart
city. There has been so far six locations
made for the company. The leads run
from three to ten feet III width, all
seeming to be true fissurc veins. We
have the Green IL Weathcrwax, Carrie,
Blue Cloud, Flora, and Big Snowy. All
have free milling ore SO faras developed.
There has been no galena found i'll the
camp SO far, which fact will OF course
add greatly to their value, rs it does not
cost over half as much to work the free
milling as the smelling ores.
The assays we have got run allthe way
from S25 TO $500. The Green & Weather

THE SCHOOL-BOY.

We bought him box for his books and toy :,
And a cricket bag for his bat
And he looked the brightest and best OF boys
Under bis new straw hat.
We handed him into the railway train
With troop of his young compeers,
And we made a. though it were dust and ram
Were filling our eyes with tears.
We looked in his innocent face TO see
The sign of a sorrowful heart;
But he only shOulder"d his bat with glce
And wondered When they would start
Twas not that he loved not as heretofore,
For the boy was tender and kind;
But his was a world that was ali before
And ours was world behind.
Twas not his futtering heart was cold,
For the child was loyal and true;
And the parents love the love That Is old,
And the children the love that is new.
And we came to know that love is flower
Which only groweth down;
And we scarcely spoke iOr the space OF an h our
As we drove back through tho town.

New YORK. May 3.-A report reached

Yesterday. that a mutiny was in progress
ON board the ship 0realla, lying near Bed
loe's Island, and that many persons were
killed. The following are the facts: The
brig Orealla, loaded with cargo consigned
10 Bowring & Archibald, encountered very
severe weather while in the middle pas
sage, about forty days from Liverpool. On
March the 18th severe westerly
gale struck her and carried away her
backstay, leaving her in comparatively
helpless condition. When in longitude
1850 and latitude 50:l4 she fell in with the.
-R-sneb schooner e4s--iai-, hoNiTssr F"1>--- o''
Milo to st. Pierre Miquelon. The latter
vessel was in a diSmastcd and sinking con-
dition. The crew. consisting OF the captain
and thirty-eight men, were taken on board
the Orealla, which reached this port last
night and anchored in the Lower bay.
Early this morning, while the crew were al
breakfast, dispute arose about solhr
tritlinp matter, and ended in fist hSht.
few hours later the quarrel was re-
sumed. during which James keogh, an
English seaman, aged 22 years, was STABBED
in the left breast by Michael Murphy, the
boatswain. The wour- ed man died in ten
minutes. Murphy VIZ, badly cut in the
wrist and thigh. He said that he and
Keogh fought duel with dirk knives, and
that the wounds were received and given

partment took charge of Keogh's body.
The police boat was dispatched to arrest
Murphy. Both men we've sailors ot tie
