A BRAVE WOMAN.
A New York Lady Attacks and Kills q
Fierce wildcat.

Fierce wildcat.
DEPOSIT, N. Y, March IA few days
ago, early in the morning, Field Cox, living
at Dansville, Susquehanna county, Pa,
heard a great noise in his dooryard. His
wife ran to the window while Cox was put
ting on his coat, and shouted that strange
dog was fighting with their dog. Cox hur.
ried out to separate the combatants, and
was surprised to see that the strange dog
was wildcat, its gaunt appearance indicat
ing that it had been driven in from the
woods By hunger to seek food. He had no
gun. and ran to a neigbbors to get one.
While he was gone Mrs. Cox saw that the
wildcat was getting the best Of the dog
which it had torn so badly with its claws and
teeth that blood was pouring from it in
streams. The dog held gamely to the fight
and Mrs. Cox, being unable to induce him
10 run from the wildcat, picked up stake
frcm hay rigging and went to the dog s
aid. The wildcat turned from the dog and
sprang at Mrs. Cox, who met the onslaught
with a blow with the stake which Knocked
the furious animal back ou the snow
When her husband returned with the gun
he found the wildcat stretched dead in the
yard and his wife caring fos the wounded
dog ..
The severe weather has forced The gene
ally willy and shy catsmount to extrem
measures in procuring sustenauce in thu
Delaware Valley hills recently, and many
have fallen victims to their necessities. A
very large one was captured on Monday
near Stephens Point, on the Jefferson branch
of The Erie railway, but until forty sheep
had disappeared in the neighborhood. A
man named Snow followed its tracks to a
den in the rocks on the Wright farm, and
set two strong traps at the mouth Of the den.
He did not 90 to the spot again until Mon
dav. Then he found an enormous caia,
mount caught in both traps, one on the
right fore leg, and one on the lett hind leg
Even thus handicapped the animal showed
fight. After peppering it with pistol shots
without killing it Snow dragged it and the
tire ps mile through the snow to the house
The wildcat was still so ferocious that it was
thrown into the cellar with the traps at
tached to it. The next day it still showed
fight, and a rife was procured, and the AMI
maj shot through the head and killed. Six
pistol balls were found in its head.

The Names Most Frequently Mentioned In

WASHINGTON, March THE gentleman
whose name is most frequently mennone
in connection with the English mission Is
ex-senator Thurman, of Ohio. 1t is posi-
lively asserted in well.informed quarters
that he will be rendered the position.
In case he declines, it is understood that
he will be appointed to fill the hrst va,
caucy occurring on the bench Of the United
States Supreme Court. The strong person
al friendship known to exist between
Secretary Bayard and Judge Thurman is
referred to as an assurance that the latter
will have position Of high honor
under the new administration. The
name of ex-senator Pendleton is
also mentioned in connection with the En-
elish and French missions. 1t is more than
probable that both Thurman and Pendleton
will serve the administration in high csPac.

some quarters that the President will refuse
10 accent Minister Lowell's resignation and
retain him at the Court of St. James.
The view is taken in some quarters that
Assistant Secretary ofthe Treasury Charles

pensable mar" and will remain, but this IS
doubtful 1t is reported that Mr.. Bissell, Mr..
Clevelands law partner, will succeed him,

BRACE UP.

Mr. CLEVELAND has been inaugurated
and the country still lives. The politicians
have declared to the contrary time and
sga,n, but the people knew there was moth
ing in it. He says in his address he will
govern the people not from the standpoint
OF partisan, but as citizen. This likely
viii be the case. There is one thing in his
remarks that should particularly commend
itself to everybody, and that is its eOnser-
vatism.
Now that the change in the sdministra-
ton is fully conSumsted, and there is little
more to do politically for the next four years,
how would it do to turn a new leaf and drop
politics 60 to work and try to make some
money! The country is not going to the
ID, that is evident. So there is some
thing yet to live for. The land is contin-
uiDg to bear its crops in the good old way
despite the crosking Of certain individuals,
the people are multiplying and consuming,
storehOuses are empty, and merchants must
rey,euish or 90 out Of business, so with all
these conditions in sight there is the
best kind of prospect for
making money if al hands will
e:chsw politics for the nOnce, and put their
shoulders to the wheels Of business enter
prise aud push manfally. Let the money
come out Of the bank vaults and seek in
vestment in productive industries and i'm
progements. There is good return for it
if the owners viii but Danish their fears and
doubts and brace up, Brace Up is good,
and the REGISrER cOmmends it as q good
tonic to its thousands of readers, no matter
Ehat their persuasion or condition.
