Attacked by Wea.els.

Delos Lante, an Elk county, Pa,
farmer, has been annoyed greatly this
winter by weasels in his poultry yard
and houses, the bloodthirsty little ami
mails having killed his fowls by the
score, aud defied all efforts to trap
them. On Saturday the l4th ult,, Mr..
Lante was walking through stony
field on his farm, and saw a weasel run
into big heap Of stones piled loosely
In the middle of the field. He had II
walking stick, and, going to the stone
pile, began to throw down stones to get
at the weasel or scare it out. Presently
Il weasel jumped out, and he struck at
it with his cane. 1t did not run away,
but sprang at Lante's thTost-the spot
a weasel instinctively tries to seize.
The farmer struck at it again and hit it,,
but it returned gamely to the attack,
and, whether In answer to a signal or
not the farmer does not know, weasels
OeSdn 10 swarm out vi TIC stoHc piie,
on all sides. and In second were spring
ing upon Lante. climbing nimbly up
his clothes, trying to reach his face.
They bit him with their sharp teeth,
and finding that he would be unable to
keep the savage little blood-suckers
from fastening their teeth in his neck
without help, he shook them off as best
he could and started at the top of his
speed fer home. The weasels followed
him until he scaled the fence. His hands
were bleeding from dozen wounds,
and If he had remained to fight the wea-
sells they would undoubtedly have over
powered and killed him. In the after
noon Mr.. Lante returned to the stone
pile with two men, two guns, and a
dog. They routed out the weasels and
killed thirty-a colony which had been
devastating the entire neighborhood for
year and more.

A Convenient Tramp.

A sensational occurrence took place
near Wadesboro, N. c., on Tuesday
evening. A tramp called at the house
occupied by two ladies and asked for a
lodging. They ut first refused his re-
quest, but finally agreed to lock him in
closet, where he was to remain all
night. About - o'clock the ladies were
walked by negro who had come into
the room. He threatened to kill them
if they made an outcry, and demanded
money, which one of the ladies said size
would get. She then went to the closet
and unlocked the door, when the tramp,
who hearl the whole conversation,
srrang out, pistol in hand. The negro
started to run, but the tramp fired, kill
ing him instantly. Shortly after it was
discovered that the supposed negro was
white man, who had blackened HIM
self and invaded the house. He was
recognized as near neighbor of the
ladies.

Isracl Cook, a farmer, of Springfield.
Prince Georges county, Nd, was swim
died out of $500 in Baltimore by bunco
sharpers last Friday. A young man
engaged the parlor in respectable
clearinghouse OH Lombard street near
Penn street last Thursday, saying
he was an artist, and had to have quiet
place to take the portrait of an old gem
tlenen from the country. Mr.. Cook
came to town Thursday to sell and buy
goods. Walking down Sharp street
Friday, spry young man tapped him
on the shoulder and extended his hand.
Mr.. Cook was surprised. but the young
fellow hastily treasured him, and told
him he was former school-mate and
friend of his son. He got him into
saloon, and finally into the house OIL
Lombard street, where the confederate
was. This latter told the young man
that his "ticket" had drawn $l0l, and
paid him 800, reserving 81 as reserve
fund, rs he styled it. The new acquaint-
ance OF the old farmer then got to play
ing game with chips on printed
cloth, and when he got tired announ-
ced that he had lost $4,000. Mr.. Cook
and his young friend then left the house
together. On the street the latter an
nounced that he had sure way TO "beat
the game" and asked the farmer to 90
in with him. The farmer said he had
$500 in bank, and would draw it out.
This he did, and handed it over 10 the
young man, who said he would &c to
his bank and draw 81 900 for the purpose
of going back and "beatiug the game.
The old man waited on Howard street
an hour for his young friends return
before he came TO the conclusion that
he had been swindled, and he then went
and reported it to the police. The land
lady of the clearinghouse oil Lombard
street states that the young man who
brought Mr.. Cook to the house and
went away with him returned a few
minutes after their departure, and he
and the pretended artist went away to-
gether laughing. This is the first game
of bunco carried on in Baltimore since
1880. The operators are believed to be
from New York, and Mr.. Cook to be
their only victim Baltimore San.
