Heath, whose residence has been in the
vicinity of Baptisttown for more than
forty years, about two weeks ago became

to grow worse until he became the terror
Of the vicinity. Heath, it appears, held a
mortgage on farm in the neighborhood
from which be received no interest, and
having lost considerable money prior to
this he became dcranged, and arming
himself with an axe and pistol, went to
the premises on which he held the mort
gage and drove the occupants from the
house. Constable Ramsey had consider
able trouble in bringing the lunatic to
Pennington. He was placed in Jail pre-
paratory to sending him to the Morris

of this city, on Friday evening last, by
an invitation from Russell O'Niel, one OF

large number of the braves, their squaws
and papooses, together with number OF
pale faces, already assembled. The beau

language, to accommodate those present
not familiar with the Indian tongue. Re-
citations, readings, dialogues and music
we're rendered by different ones who had

made a very interesting address, after
which all VITO could sat down at the first

CONCERNING PIKE.
A Venerable Specimen Which Attained .
Length OF Nineteen Feet.

A Venerable Specimen Which Attained
Length OF Nineteen Feet.
"From the days oflGesner downward"
said Mr.. Frank auckland, "more lies
have been told about the pike than any
other fish in the world" which may be
said to be the case with most animals
which are gifted with any remarkable
characteristics, whether pleasant or
otherwise. However, the many histor-
ians of the pike have hitherto kept clear
of the supernatural. Were-wolves and
'loup-garou' have no imitators among
the finny tribes. A ghostly pike, with
lambent eyes and distendent jaws, is
too fearful an idea to entertained for
a moment. But if the pike historians
have refrained from enlarging on super
natural water wolves, they have by no
means curtailed their imaginations in
their description of the real fish.
The Mannheim pike, that attained
a length of nineteen feet and was cap.
ured in 1897 at the advanced age of two
hundred and sixty-seven years, having
in its gills a brass ring on which
was engraved in Greek: II am the first
fish that was placed in this pond by the
hand of Frederick H., Governor of the
World, on the fifth of October, $780,"
may certainly claim to be the mostmar-
velous pike on record. Its skeleton
and ring were long preserved in the
Cathedral of Mannheim" says Mr..
Pennell in his "Book of the Pike" but
upon subsequent examination by clev-
er anatomist it was discovered that the
bones had been heightened to fit the
story-in other words, that several ver-
tebre had been added. Another writer,
M. Passon Maisonneuve, gives us furth-
er particulars concerning the ring
namely, that it was of "gilded brass, "
and could "enlarge itself by springs
a highly necessary qualification
| (if its wearer's growth is to be
considered) and one which would seem
not to be confined to this portion of the
story alone. Putting aside such like
monsters, that seem to be, in the words
of Polonius, every like whale" most
veracious historians agree that the pike
rarely exceeds forty pounds in weight
at ali events in these islands. That he
should not be allowed to do so from 9
astronomical point of view is certain
from the fact that young pike or jacl
increases in weight at the rate of foul
pounds per annum during the earlier
portions of his life, but that after twelve
years he dimtnishes each year by one
pound to two pounds, rate of diminu
ton that increases as his age advances

are honest because it's their nature. II
they get wrong their nature beats and
kicks them and pulls their ears till 1t
sets them right again! That's all of IL.
His story is that he hadn't been at the
new place more than week
before he lighted ON the big diamond
kickedit up with his toe. BE no sooner
saw it than he knew it was fortune for
him if he kept il. Then, he says, the
devil entered into him and tempted
him, AID he got on an ALFRED rohcking
bust, and run away TO India to sell the
stone to q rich MahSrajah there. But,
just as he was concluding the bargain,
he ran away again-he don't say the
devil tempted him this time, though.
Then he landed in Australia, and kept
up his joilification untilhe hadn't red
left; but all this time he held on to the
diamond, because it was mine, not his.
So one day he makes up his mind to-
come home, and works his passage
across to California, and then for feaI
lest he should be tempted again, or get
robbed, begs and borrows his way
