until he could be identified and an inti-
mate acquaintance made with the
stranger, the gentleman one night placed
set steel trap in his poultry house. The
next morning the steel trap was missing,
and its mysterious disappearance was
the occasion of no little comment and
speculation. During several nights sue
ceeding this event some neighbors of his
heard, at various hours of the night, the
rafting of chains in the air and
ABOUT their premises, which strongly
aroused their fears and awakened
tue dormant elements of SUI
perstition which linger in the minds OF
almost every person. The strange noise
was heard at nearly haf a dozen different
neighbours houses at different times with
10 week. But one gentleman, on hear
ing the rafting near his poultry house
tate at night, had the courage TO get uF,
and with fear and trembling proceeded TO
Investigate it. In his chicken house he
found large owl with its claws securely
fastened in grown men with which he
was unable to fly away. He seized sites,
and, amid the yOciierous rafting Of chains
the owl was killed, and revealed the
missing steel trap securely fastened to
one foot with chain dangling therefrom,
His perseverance and fortitude are to be
admired, as he seemed determined not TO
De frustrated in his business by so small
an impeachment as steel trap.

HELPLEssLY DRIFTING.
Terrible Sufferings of the Crew of the
Schooner Isaac Burpee.

schooner isaac buFp6Gs
BooTHBAY, Me-, JAN 15.-The schooner
Isaac Burpee sailed from st. John, n, b.,
Dec. 9th, with a crew of six men, bound for
New York. She harbored in Boothbay Jan.
9Th and started for New York the next day
(Thursday). The schooner took gale from
the east north east the next day friday, the
Sth, and lost sails and gafts, then being off
Cape Cod. Saturday the gale continued with
great violence, and a terrible sea in the shoal
water, where they expected to go down, as the
schooner was making considerable water and
straining badly in the sea, besides being un-
manageable. Saturday night the wind
changed to northwest and the weather be-
came intensely cold and the wind terrific.
The crew could do nothing but pound the ice
little and that to no apparent advantage,
and they suffered greatly from cold, as every
thing was covered with ice. On Saturday
night the deck load went away, damaging the
vessel considerably, and leaving her with a
list and making her leak worse From Sat
urday night the vessel drifted at the mercy
of the wind, being unmanageable. They
made Seguin Monday, then drifted away
and Wednesday made Matinicus, and, the
wind then being easterly, everything possible
was done to get into Boothbay, but they only
succeeded in making the White Islands this
morning. The schooner, however, was mo-
ticed apparently in distress, and soon after
wards the tug Lawrence went to their assist
ance and towed the vessel into Boothbay.
The captain says: 10ur experience since
leaving this port ON Thursday, 7th inst, has
been terrible, and we cannot tell how we es-
capped. The sea and terrible cold and ice we
had to contend against most of the time, pre-
vented anything whatever being done to help
the vessel or ourselves, and we had great
trouble to keep from freezing. and, as it was,
