Dogs, Scent.

Whatever may be the natural scenting properties of a dog, it is certain that great deal depends upon the nature of the land crossed. When hounds run over some of those undrained sedgy fields so often found in the neighborhood of brooks or rivers, they can generally push their fox; but drained and dressed land is not so favorable. Then, again. as far as the fox is concerned, it is a common idea that he leaves a better scent behind him if he be found and well hustled in covert before making for the open, than if he steal off unperceived, in which event the scent is said to be indifferent. Further, the scent fails when fox is getting beaten; hence, when 8 fox starts up wind and is hardly pressed at the outset, he not uncom- monly reaps an advantage when he turns down wind, for the twofold reason that the scent is fainter, and what there is is blown on in advance of the hounds. That scent is shifted by the wind no hunting man needs to be told, and we once saw striking instance of it. The Queens staghounds were in Burnhan Brooches, whence the deer came away into the open, and ran in the shape of letter S. minute or two later the pack came out of the wood, and, there being a side wind, the hounds ran letter S, as the stag had done, but about sixty yards to the left of the deer's actual line. Whether the scent of an animal comes from the contact | of the feet with the ground, or from the whole body, is not ascertained fact; some say that the breath has something to do witl | it. in the case of the fox and hare the body theory may receive support; but with deer | those who say that the tread leaves the scent have certain amount of reason on thei1
 side, as the body is higher than the noses O
 the hounds. If the atmosphere weighs down I III, .@1,, As<.r,er tt steam from an engine for example-seem t' | show that hounds will not run.

SALT LAKE, Utah, May 10.-Angus Can non, Milton Musser and J. c. Watson were sentenced yesterday for unlawful cohabita- tion. Each received the full extent of the law-$3OO fine and six months imprisOn- ment. Cannon said to the court that he had not broken the law, but had lived with but one of his wives as wife. But when asked by the judge as to his future intentions, with a view to mitigating his sentence, Cannon declined to make any pledge that he would obey the law and recognize it's binding force. Musser had his attorney read long arraign- ment of the court, pronouneing the methods of his conviction arbitrary and violation ot judicial procedure. He also declined to pledge obedience to the law or admit his ob- ligation to obey it. Watson pleaded guilty, but would make no promises. There was 6 great crowd in court and some applauded the defiant utterances of the culprits.

 BUFFALO, N. Y., May 10.-The people of Genesee county are excited over the case of a well-to-do young farmer of the township of Alabama who suddenly became insane. His name was John Casey. He was about thirty years of age and was strong physi- cally and mentally until the day before yesterday. He went into the woods near home to chop wood with 8 neighbor named Futile. They had worked for an hour or more when Casey suddenly threw up his arms, uttered shriek and started off on run. He first visited farm house near by, and after smashing open the door, breaking the windows and destroying arti- cles of furniture, started off. He next vis- tied the house of a German, where he as- saulted woman and then turned upon the man, who picked up an axe to defend him self. Casey jumped toward him and the German struck him three times on the head, knocking him down and inAicting fatal in juries.

OBITUAR Y.
Death of Ex.Speaker John s. Rice, of
 FarminGtOn.

Death of Ex.Speaker John s. Rice, of
 Farmington.
 Hon. John s. Rice died at his home in Pennington yesterday morning at the age of sixty-nine years The immediate cause of his death was apoplexy. The deceased was born in this city. He studied law and grad uated from the Yale Law school in 1S40 and in the year 1945 held the position of clerk of the New Haven County court. In his early manhood he was prominent in politics as Whig and at the time when that party was at the zenith of it's power. In 1850 MT. Rice represented the old Fourth Senatorial district in the State Senate, which was then composed of the towns of New Haven, Wood bridge and Hamden. It was in that year that the great contest over the election of United States Senator occurred in this State. Roger s. Baldwin was the Whig and Free Soil candidate and could have been elected but for the | fact that a few Wings refused to vote for \ him and there was no election that year. \ The following year Isaac Toucey was elected. MT. Rice gave MT. Baldwin his earnest sup port throughout this contest. Two or three ! years later MT. Rice married Mrs. Cowles, a \ wealthy lady of Pennington, and removed to | that town which he made his future home. | He was elected to the General Assembly a \ representative of the town of Pennington \ in 1862 and reelected in 1868, '64 and '65 | He was an able and forcible debater and took prominent part on the Republican side in ! the war debates of those years. In 1864 he ! was honored by an election Speaker of the ! House and filled that position with credit tc | himself and honor to the State. At this time ! Hon. O. H. Platt, tLe present United States Senator, and Hen. George H. Watrous
 were members of the House. In the
 winter of 1964-'65 MT. Rice became interest
 ed in the organization of the Continenta
 Life Insurance company of Hartford and was
 it's first president, holding the office for sev
 eral years. Just before the war he made 8 ! lengthy tour of Europe. He was a man o1
 very charming social qualities and his mind
 was we'll stored with "reminiscences of trave
 which he took pleasure in relating to his
 many friends. He was a good neighbo1
 and genial, kind-hearted man. His wife
 two sisters, Mrs. Frederick Trowbridge ano
 Miss Susie Rice, of Brooklyn, and one broth

 Rice, formerly bookkeeper for Barker & Ran

Out After Rabbits - A Strike B1g
 Enough To Stock Museum.
 [Cor. Omaha Bee.l
 Joseph Marshall and Frank, his brother, live in Dsguscahouda, Pa., five miles from this place. A few days ago they loaded their shotguns with fine shot and went out into the woods near their house to shoot two rab- bits they had seen there. The brothers sepa- rated in the woods and hunted hundred yards apart. They had gone quarter of 8 mile or so when Frank heard Joseph yelling at the top of his lungs. Frank hurried in the direction of the cries, and did not reach the spot moment too soon. big she bear had Joseph down in the snow ,and was wrest- ling him aronnd so lively that his clothes were in tatters, and his flesh was in a fair way to be used in the same manner. With 8 shout Frank jumped into the space where the one-sided fight was going on. His ap- pearance startled the bear, and she hastily retreated behind the upturned roots of 8 fallen tree, and disappeared in a big hole in the ground.
 'tI jumped on that tree trunk about three minutes ago to take a look around" said Joseph when he had got enough breath back to talk land I heard funny sort of squeal somewhere about the roots of the tree. I stepped up to see what was making the noise and discovered this hole in the ground. I got down on my hands and knees to examine the hole, when, with roar like 8 mad bull, that big bear came bouncing out of the hole. I wasn't looking for bears and raised up about as quick as any living thing ever moved, and turned to run. I hadn't taken two steps when the bear lit square on my back and sker-r-a-a-sh! went the whole back part of my clothes as if they had been ripped off by stroke of lightning and away I went, fiat as a pancake, ten feet away. My gun flew as much further in any other direc- ticn, and began to halloa like a stuck pig. Before could get on my feet the bear was on top of me again, and was putting in my best hcks to keep her from getting her paws around me when you came up. You can see by the way things are torn up around here that if the interview I had with that bear wasn't warm and lively then there never was lively three minutes spent with bear before. That bears got a family of cubs in her den, and that's what ails her.''
 Charging both barrels of his gun with heavy shot, Josephs brother Frank ap- preached the hole in the ground where the bear had entered. When he was within ten feet of it the bear rushed out to meet him. Frank shot her with both barrels, and she fell dead The two men then searched the den and found three cubs, which could not have been more than day or two old They were the size of Newfoundland puppies The brothers dragged the carcass of the old bear to the village and carried the cubs in their arms. The cubs whined piteously for day or two and then became reconciled to their strange surroundings, and now follow their captors about the streets like dogs.
