| took a large spider from his web
under the basement of a mill, put him
on chip, and set him af1oat on the
quiet waters of the pond. He walked
all about the sides of his bark, survey
ing the situation very carefully, and
when the fact that he was really atiOat
and about a yard from shore, seemed
to be fully comprehended, he pros
pected for the nearest point of land
This point fairly settled upon he inn
mediately cast web for it. He threw
1t as far as possible ia the air, and
with the wind it soon reached the
shore and made fast to the spires OF
grass. Then he turned himself about
and in true sailor fashion began to
haul in hand over hand on his cable
Carefully he drew upon it until his
bark began to move toward the shore
AS it moved the faster he the faster
drew upon it to keep his hawser taut
and from touching the water. Very
soon he reached the shore and quickly
leaping to terra frma he sped his Way
homeward, Thinking then that he
might be special expert, and an ex-
ception in that line of workmanship
to the rest of his companions, [ tried
several of them, and they all came to
shore in like manner.

The inhabitants along the Still Riv-

New Milton, have been considerably
excited this winter over the huge
tracks of some strange animal. The
footprints were seen in various places
just alter fresh fall of snow, and re
sembled a cats only much larger. In
the early part of the week James Gid
dings, who lives upon the plain, be
gan to miss some of his poultry, and
discovered these tracks. He poisoned
some meat and placed it at the door
of his hen house. 1t worked to a
charm, for yesterday morning the Of
Tending animal was found in the yard
stiff and cold in death. It was a wild
cat, lynx rufus, of huge proportions,
weighing twenty-seven pounds, and
measuring three feet IN length. His
fur was of a very light color, beautl-
fully notified on the sides and legs
with dark spots. He must have been
very old. as he had not tooth in his
head. Had he been in good flesh he
would have weighed at least forty
pounds. He is now IN the possession of
George @. Jones, who is busy stuff
