PALATKA, Fla, Feb. 4, 1884.-We
left Jacksonville on Thursday, Jan. 81,
at Ga. M, in the large iron steamer
Cygnus for Palatka, Fla, seventy five
miles up the st. John river. Arriving
there at ]. 80 p. m, we put up at the
Laskln Hotel, which IL splendid
house. Next morning we took the
steamer Maham Rec at a. IN. for
Silver Springs, one hundred and twenty
five miles from this place up the
Ocklawaha river. This Ia q wonderfully
crooked stream. 1t took us all day and
night, arriving at the springs In the
morning at 6 o'clock. 1t was very
amusing TO see the steamer plowing
through the water at night with a large
fire burning in light house on the top
Of the boat to give light to steer by.
The light shown grandly OH the largo
cypress woods on both sides of the
stream, and in the daytime, when the
sun shOne out hot, as the boat passed
up the river ii was amusing to see the
alligators, large turtles and snakes run
ming and jumping in the water. We
saw ducks and many other large birds,
and thousand other things 30 amusing
that we could hardly take time to eat
our meals. We returned to Palatka
next morning Sunday at 1.30 a. M,
but did not leave our berths until 7
O'Clock in the morning for the hotel. !
think we will 60 on the steamer to.
for Crescent City and stay there
a few days, and from there we will go
to St. Augustine. The weather il quite
hot The mercury was "A at 3p. H.;
very pleasant indeed. We may stay
all winter. Respectfully, w. B.

A wildcat on the Rampage.

MILFORD, Penn, Feb. &C. d
Keeney, a sewing-machine agent, wa'
driving along the backwoods road In
Dingman township, four miles frou
this village, one afternoon this week,
when large wildcat which was crouch
ing by the side of the road made a
spring for the horse. The latter Was
being driven at a rapid rate Of speed
however, and the wildcat landed on the
buffalo robe covering Mr.. Keeney s
lap. With the butt end of the whip he
struck the animal across the head, and
knocked it back on the snow. 1t in
stantly sprang. for the back of the
sleigh and caught hold of it with its
teeth and claws. Mr.. keeney had all
he could do to keep it from pouncing
on him, and pounded the infuriated
beast with the heavy part of the whip
until it fell back, after it had held fast
for over half mile. The horse had
become frightened, running at the top
of its speed until it had reached the
village, and its sides were tlecked with
foam. The back of the sleigh is bad y
scratched and bitten by the cat and
had it succeeded in reaching Mr.. Ken
ney he would have Jared badly. Ex-
treme hunger is supposed to have caus.
ed it to make the attack. A large num-
Der of wildcats, catamounts and pan
theirs were killed in the woods about
here last fall, but there are still plenty
Of the varmints left.

An AudaciOus Thief.

One of the most daring robberies that
has occurred in Wilmington for some
time happened between 2 and 3o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the following
manner Mrs. s. Redmond Smith, who
resides at No. 1923 West Eighth street,
left her home for the purpose Of coming
in town, and was proceeding along
Eighth street, when she was confronted
by a large, bury negro man just after
she passed Franklip street, who made q
grab for small hand bag or satchel
she carried in her hand. She struggled
with the man, but he soon wrenched
the satchel from her grasp and made
off with it. The satchel contained S75
in money and a check for Sl4, drawn
by j. Ernest Smith on the First Ma
tional B nix, payment upon the same
having been stopped. The money be-
longed to the Provident Society. Mrs.
Smith was badly frightened by the
boldness of the thief, but Immediately
gave the alarm and the officers are on
the lookout for the rascal.

Heading PuddlerS' Return.

Reading Times.
Twenty-one puddlers and puddlers
helpers, of this city, heretofore employ.
ed at the sheet mill of the Reading
Iron Works. and at the Keystone Iron
Works, who went to Lancaster to work
at the Penn Iron Works, have returned
home. One of tho puddlers, who ar.
rived last evening, informed a Times
representative that he and the rest OF
the party went to Lancaster under a
promise from William Madden, the rep.
resentative of the Penn Iron Works,
that they would receive the Philadel.
phia price for pudding, 1885 cents per
ton. The men had been working for
five years according to the Philadel-
phia.. scale, and hencs the offer made
them was very satisfactory. Upon ar
irving at Lancaster, they found that
the Penn Iron Works had been idle
since Christmas, and that the owners,
Messrs. Middleton and Peacock, were
only willing to pay S3.40 per ton for
pudding. The Reading puddlers
then held meeting, and declined
to work for $3.40. Subsequently, while
they were at the depot, ready to return
home, they were offered $685. per ton
for two weeks, and 1874 after the ex-
piration Of that period, but this offer
was also refused. The Reading pud-
dlers we're moreover informed that the
Lancaster men had left the place, but
they found that this was not the case,
as all were still there, and that some of
the puddlers' families we're in great
destitution. The puddlsrs, immediate
ly upon their return to Reading, raised
$500 for the relief of the Lancaster pud-
dlers, which amount was forwarded to
them last evening.

Last evening a white girl known AZ
I" ed.headed Name" and Alice Lewis,
colored, residents of No. lO7 Water
street, were before Squire O'Neill to
answer charge Of larceny preferred
by young man named Levan f.
Walker. The prisoners were repre-
sented by Harry Sharpley, Esq, who
on the cross-examination caused the
prosecutor to admit, that although he
thought he hal lost S27 while he was in
the house, he did moi see any one take
it. The proprietress of the house, Annie
White, was called by the defense, and
said that the only money she saw
Walker have while he was there was a
five dollar note, and that she sowed up
a no in his pocket. The Squire said
he did not think the evidence sufficient
to hold the prisoners, and dismissed the
case,

Returned After Many Days.

On the LIST of last December, a double
barrel gun was stolen from the Rev.
s. T. Gardner, who resides at No. 2l5
East Eighth street, and nothing was
heard of the missing article until last
evening, when his son Edwin, upon
going out Of the house, found the gun
leaning against the fence in the corner
of the yard, evidently placed there by
the guilty thief, whose conscience evil
IDENTIFY gave him no rest until the stolen
article was returned A box of sermons
was also purloined from Mr.. GardDer's
residence, and if.the thief will return
them it will be sense of justice, which
would imply that the heart Of thief
is not so fully scared in his conscience
as to retain what can be of no value to
any one save their rightful owner, but
of great value to him, because they con-
tain the labor of27 years in the work
of the ministry.

Mrs j. w. Sullivan, 2lS West street,
has S:ciian citron plant that attracts
considerab bic interest, ,ow ing TO the large
ctrons it bears, and which are usually
called lemons. MIS-. Sullivan stopped
In at the REPUBLICAN Office this morn
ing with four of these citrons in bas-
ket. Asking us what we thought they
were we Immediately said lemons.
They looked like lemons, were shaped
and colOred like lemons, had a flavor
decidedly like lemons, and though they
were very large we unhesitatingly pro-
nounced them lemons. We were con-
siderably surprised to find what we 30
often took for lemons were not lemons
at all, but were Sicilian citrons-the
citron fruit purchased at the fruit and
grocery stores. One of these citrons
weighed 20 ounots, two of them l6
ounces each, and the smallest 81aounces.
The plant grows in small butter tub,
is some 8 feet high, seven years old, and
was brought BY Mrs. Sullivan from
Williamsport, Pa.
