An Elephant StrangIed.

The elephant Chief, who has killed
eleven men. was executed at the viii
ter quarters of Forepaughs mena-
gerie, in Philadelphia, sunday last.
lie had exhibited dangerous symptoms
for several days, and 1t was deter
mined TO kill him. How 10 kill the
brute quickest was the question to be
decided He had upon former oc-
casion proved himself safe against rifle
bullets, and after some dellberatlon
it was determined 10 strange him TO
death. The dangerous and difficult
task of putting Il rope about the
elephants neck was promptly assuln-
ed by Adam Forepaugh, Jr. y rope
half an inch in diameter and twelve
feet in length was sent for, and the
intrepid Snowman stepped fearlesSly
into the stall occupied by Chief, who
was in a frightful rage, and could
have crushed him with single stroke
of his great trunk. But happily the
habit of obedience at the moment
prev allied over the brute'S rage, and
with a deft movement Mr.. Forepaugh
slipped the big rope over the beast s
trunk and hitched it with slip-knot
over lllt NShNICi I'oi VI IiiS III ~ - YIN.
over the jugular vein Four feet of
the rope was left dangling upon eth,
err side, and having accomplished
this. the most dangerous part of the
business, Mr.. Forepaugh rushed out
of the stall. Two of the trained ele-
phants-Bismarck and Basil-were
then brought in and one placed on
each side of the Chief. Chains were
attached to the ends of the rope about
Chiefs neck and they were fastened
securely about the shoulders of Bis
mark and Basil. \ keeper took pc
sition at the side of each of these ele-
plants, and at sign from Mr.. Fore
paugh gave the word to them, and
the mammoths started on run in
opposite directions. The shock threw
Ghetto his knees. The two trained
elephants pulled the rope taut. The
moose closed tightly over Chefs jug
ular vein and windpipe. He struS-
gled with a great CONFUSION for a
moment, and then rolled over dead.

A Farmer SwlndIed Out of SLIGO.

| Mr.. Charles Salmon, a farmer of
Frederick county, Md, was made the
victim one day last week of several
sharpers who visited his place and
adroitly swindled him out of nearly
81, 100. One OF the men represented
himself to be son of a DR.. Motter, of
Hagerstown, and the other Il son Of
the late eI-Gov. Hamilton, and con-
sequently a relative of Mr.. Salmon,
who was related to the Ex-Governor.
Mr.. Salmon is about 7S years of age.
The alleged Hamilton. it seems, sue
ceeded in playing upon the credulity
of the old gentleman through his pre-
tended relationship, and finally in
duced him by certain repi esentations
which excited his cupidity TO go TO
Frederick in his company and borrow
one thousand dollars from the Central
National Bank. When the money
was paid him something in connec-
ton with the transaction aroused the
suspicion of the cashier that perhaps
all was not right, and he warned him
TO be careful of strangers and cited
number of cases of recent swindling.
Mr.. Salmon replied that he was all
right and that the man he had with
him was relative OF his He further
stated that he wanted the money to
purchase some machinery. The two
men left the city in a carriage. and
when they arrived at q very lonely
place on the road between Newman
ket and Monrovia. and where there
are no houses within at least a half
mile, they were met by a confederate
of the so-called Hamilton, who carried
in his hand gambling arrangement
of some kind. a stop was made and
the two men got out Of their carriage.
Hamilton and his friend soon engaged
Salmon in game OF chance, believed
by some to be crap, by telling him he
could win a fortune, and when they
succeeded in inducing him to stake
all the money he had on his person,
amounting to about 1,045, one of the
men exclaimed: Il have won: the
stakes are mine. and grabbed the
money. The two confederates then
hastily entered their carriage and
drove TO Frederick, where they re-
turned the team to the livery stable
and then took flight, but in what
direction is not known. Mr.. Salmon
made known his experience as soon
as possible, and a number of his friends
Immediately went in search Of the
men, but as yet they have been unable
to find their trail Mr.. Salmon ap-
peared so excited and so much cha
grined over the manner in which he
had been swindled that he was unable |
to explain satisfactorily how the men
succeeded SO easily in getting the ad- !
vantage of him He is man of |
means and stands high in the commu-
nifty. The alleged Hamilton, it seems,
first represented TO him that he was |
in that vicinity for the purpose of |
buying horse, and afterwards said |
he wanted to purchase a farm. BY |
these and other statements he gained |
his confidence One of the men is |
apparently about 30 or 80 years of |
age. has black mustache and dark |
hair, and is rather delicate looking
The men appeared to be we'll posted |
in regard TO the standing of Mr.. Sal
mon and his relationship with the |
late Gov. Hamilton. There has not |
been a single trace of the sharpers
found vet.

CHRISTMAS.

The Christmas time has come again,
and where is the man or woman who
isn't glad that it is almost here! What
sort of person is it that doesn't be-
lieve i'm Christmas and in the joy and
happiness that it brings? We know
il isn't boy or a girl-we can hardly
believe ii is anyone that has ever been
a boy or girl We don't believe any
one can be found in our own commu-
nifty who doesn't take any stock in
Christmas. Well, then, let us all be
happy. Everybody ought to be happy
"a little bit, anyhow. We don't be-
lieve there is a single, solitary person
i'm this neighborhood but has some
reason to be glad and thankful at this
time
But while each individual may be
happy in his own way, there is some
thing else he can do. He can make
some one else happier. Ie rich, give
literally to the poor and destitute,
take some of your plenty and brighten
up the lives of the needy and suffer
ing; don't be selfish. but be charitable
and generous, and see what joy will
come to your own soul in return. le
poor. if you have not money or pres
ents to give, contribute love and kind
ness to some neighbor who maybe
would rather have gentle words than
gold and friendliuess than silver. Is
there not some who can be helped by
YOU in this way or that? Let us all try
TO be
Unselfsh,
Generous,
Charitable
Loving.
And in the proportion that we
strive in these things we will be
Happy.
