A Queer Case or.Iasanitr.

There is Mt the present time confined
in the Otsego County hcuss a young man,
whose peculiar symptoms puzzle the
superintendent and the attending physi-
clans. A number of Ycars ago he was
convicted under the nalncsof John Ward
for larceny, and sent froA that county
to the reformatory at Rmira. After
several years he became insane, and was
sent back to Auburn, anG from thence
he was sent back to OtseSo county last
June. When Mr.. Burnside went after
him, they told him that BE would need
no watching, that he cNdld leave him
anyv here and would end him in the
same place when he retu: I'D. be it one
hour CT one day from the time he left
him. AT the first stop tie train made
after starting for home, Ward got up,
and, upon being asked whkt he was 90
ing to do, he said he was going to stop
there. Mr.. Burnside restr.'ned him,
and from that time to this not one word
has passed his lips, and he has rad. no
move as though he krew h. was
passing arould him. Upon arriving
In Utica Mr.. Burnside, for fear the
might try to escape, took him to the
station house, and lockedS him up In a
cell, after which he went out and PR
cured lunch ar took 70 him. W.rd
reached out and took the lunch ON
his hand. and when he &C .urned
five hours afterward, he Stood holding
it in the san position be had left him.
He will do nothing of his own voi'tien,
he has to be dressed and fed. You can
take him out and stand hita up against
q tree, and he will stard sthcre till you
come after him again; sit kim in chair
and he sits there till yOushelp him up.
He appears to be in good health, but as
he seems unable to swallow AIS setuals
at times, he is evidentlyswaax. He is
about twenty-four years cid and very
prepossseslng young ;ran p lock at He
shows no signs of inSkEasy visitors al
most invariably taking x for visitor
to the institution. The doctor and
superintendent both asrce that there is
nothing put On about 1T Tut that It is q
peculiar phrase Of insanity, and the
saddest part IS that no oac knows where
he belongs or where biz Parents reside.

Mr. DEAR SoS-Your letter of last
week reached as yesterday, and enclose
$l3, which is all ] have by me at the
present time. may sell the other shote
next week and make up the balance OF
what YOU wanted. will probably have
to wear the old buffalo overcoat to meet
ing again this winter, but that don't
matter SO long as you are getting an edu-
cation.
I hope you viii get your education as
cheap as you can, for it cramps your
mother and me like Sam Hill to put up
the money. Mind you, don't complain.
know education comes high, but ]
didn't know the clothes cost so like
sixty.
/ want you to be so that you can 90
anywhere and spell the hardest word. /
want you to be able to 90 among the
Romans or the Modes and Persians and
talk to any of them in their own native
tongue.
| never had any advantages when I
was boy, but your mother and 1 de-
cided that we would, sock you full of
knowledge, if your liver held out, re-
gardless of expense. We calculate to do
it, only we want to go as slow on swal-
low tail coats as possible till We can sell
our hay.
Now, regarding tat boat. padding
suit, and that base ball suit, and that
lawn-tennis suit, mind. | don't care
about the expense, because you say
young man can't really educate himself
thoroughly without them, but / wish
you'd send home what you get through
with this fall, and III wear them through
the winter under my other clothes. We
have a good deal severer winters here
than we used to, or else I'm falling in
bodily health Last winter tried to 90
through without underclothes, the way
| did when was a boy, but Manitoba
wave come down our way and picked
me out of a crowd with its eyes shet.
In your last letter you alluded to get
ting injured in little shazing scutfie
with pelican from the rural districts
don't want any harm to come to you,
my son, but if | went from the rural dis
tricts, and another young gosling from
the rural districts undertook to haze me
| wOula meet him when the sun goes
down, and / would swart him across the
back of the neck with fence board,
and then would meander across the pit
of his stomach and put blue forget
me-not under his eye.
Your father amt much on Grecian
mythology, and how to get the square
root of barrel of pork, but he wouldn't
allow any educational institutions to
hazehim with IMMUNITY. Perhaps you
remember once when you tried to haze
your father a little just to kill time, and
how long it took you to recover. Any
body who goes at it right can have
good deal Of fun with your father, but
those who have sought to monkey with
him just to break up the monotony of life
have most always succeeded in finding
what they sought.
/ amt much of pensman, so you will
have to excuse this letter We are all
quite well except old Fan, who has
galded shoulder, and hope this will find
you enjoying the same great blessing.
Your FATHER.

been experimenting with it for several
months, and finally got careless. No

VAR Davfs,s Two Transactions i'm
RObGafA Consolidated.


In California, in the days of the Comstock
excitement, while all kinds of wildcats
were being foated on the market and
rapidly bought by an discriminating
public, Mr.. Davis bought a claim.
This claim did not cost Mr.. Davis much,
whatever it cost the public, and it was
known bv the name of the : Bobtail
Consolidated The speculative Mr.. u.
organized company and sold some of
the stock. To particular friend of his
he sold large block of 10000 shares at
81 per share.
For sometime the mine amounted to
nothing, and after few 25-cent assess
ments HAD been levied the stock would
really not have been cheap at gift.
For this reason Mr.. Davis and the
friend to whom he sold the 1000 shares
as good thing were not on speaking
terms. One day, however, the friend, to
his utter and complete establishment, re-
ceived note, asking him to call at once
at the residence of Mr.. Davis. He went,
and found Mr.. Davis in bed The table
was covered with medicine bottles, and
Mr.. Davis looked as if his head had been
roposing in a sack of -four.
Jim, said Davis, in hoArse and
feeble voice, !" did you a dirty trick o
few months ago in selling you them ere
Bobtails, for | knowed you couldn't af-
ford the money. and heaven knows
they've not brought me no luck.
ssWell," said Jim, " what has been
done cannot be undone now" at the
same time gazing compassionately upon
the sickly form of the PROSTATE Davis.
No, no, " urged Davis, /" done you
wrong. The doctor says | haven't
many hours to live, and before | die

done YOU. Where are them sharcsg''
Got em down at my office, y was the
reply.
.sYou bring 'em up here as soon as
you can. = said Davis, and I will give
you the money that you paid for EN-"
Muttering expressions of grief, and
with eyes rapidly becoming moist with
| tears. jim rushed off to the Office and
brought up ssthem ERE shares. = The
shares were handed to Davis, who, with
an expression as If it were his last earth
| " transaction. handed his friend SO, 0O0.
Il never thought you meant to do me
wrong, said Jun, speaking as If ne was
about to choke, .sand / hope you will
soon be better, old man. !" Jim then re-
| tired with his hands full of grcenbacks
and his eyes full Of tears.

The circus Il popular because Il Is
the amusement 0f the masses, and as
cIrcuse$. like ali things else. increase
In popularity la accordance with the
degree Of merit possessed BY them, it
isa natural result that one circus must
be the most popular, aud consequently
the best, and 30 It Is. The circus now
the most popular is the Sells Bros.
Monster 50-Cage Menagerie and Great
Four-Ring Circus, which will exhibit
at Russeliville, on Thursday, Oct. and.
Why IL IL so we propose to tell Iii this
article. In the first place, the Big

world Of wonders "a be seen with 10
other show anywhere on tup OF earth;
IL las the largesl and best menageric
ever collected anywhere, which emf
braces all the known types of zoology,
including all and excepting none.
There is not more than one chance In
lifetime allotted 10 d man la which lie
eau see all the known qnadrupeds OF
the brute creation. Chief among The
various attractions to be witnessed In
the great menagerie may be mentioned
a pair of huge hippopotami. mann

which sweat huge drops OF blood at
every pore. Another rare aud very
singular feature Is The giratiies 10 be

requiring The best care, and the utm Isl
attention. There are several other ami
niais almost as curious; aud ii may be
safely said that the tens of thousands
OF animals 10 be seen are certainly all
rare, strange and wonderful.
There Is a striking feature connected
with the menagerie, which, by the way,
occurs to US now. The auditor who
enters the menagerie tent is 10th to
leave it, even after the music strikes
up for the grand arenic performances to
begin. We find ourselves now in the
same bOx-we want to say something
of the wonderful Touring show, but
we find IL almost impossible for us to
tear ourselves away from the Great 90
