An Unp'eaeant Encounter.
Hartford CourAnt.

Not one man in any twenty would care to go through the experience MT. Timothy Mather had the other day in his garden on Windsor avenue. Butch CT Katzenstein uses the slaughter house on MT. Mather's premises. Lat terly he has had some wild young stock in pasture in the Pipe Swamp lot, and thither his herdsmen went on Thursday to drive down flock. The drovers got to their work in such & lively fashion that they got the steers pretty we'll rattled by the time they reached the slaughter yard, where they were finally herded.
 MT. Mather was in the garden near by when he heard 6 crash, and, look ing up, discovered that he had one of the excited animals for company. He apprehended no danger, but proceeded to open & gate into an adjoining lot to give the fellow 6 chance to escape. As he turned back from the gate he saw that the animal meant mischief, and before he had time to protect himself the rascal had made an ugly lunge at him.
 He quickly adopted Kilrain's tactics and went to grass to avoid the blow, only his hat being caught and torn to atoms. Before the animal had time to renew the attack MT. Nather threw up the sponge and beat . retreat.
 Then the victor stalked into the ad- joining lot, where he defied all corners. After exhausting all means at hand to secure the fellow MT. aJim" Capen was sent for. MT. Capen is known to handle . rife with the same unerring tact that he handles the violin bow, and he soon had the steer dancing . |jig with . rife ball in the brain.

THE FIRST GRENADIRR OF
 FRANCE.
Exchange.


 La Tour d'Auvergne was educated for the army, which he entered in 1767. He served with distinction, but refused offers of promotion, saying that he was only fit for the command of & company of grenadiers. While on & visit to a friend, about the year 179O, he learned that regiment of Austrians was pushing on to occupy & narrow pass, the possession of which would be a great embarrassment to the French. This pass was defended by a strong tower and garrison of thirty men.
 D'Auvergne immediately set off to warn the garrison of its danger. On arriving there he found that the men had taken alarm and fled, leaving in their haste a part of their guns and ammunition behind.
 For a moment the grenadier was in despair then he resolved to attempt the defense of the pass alone. He made his preparations, loaded the guns, and watched for the enemy. The pass was steep and narrow, and the Austrians could enter only in double files, in doing which they would be fully exposed to the fire from the tower.
 It was near midnight when d'Au- verne heard the tramp of fSc' entering the defile. He immediately discharged two muskets into the darkness, ss a warning that the garrison was pre- pared to resist.
 The Austrian commander, finding that his plan of surprise had failed, postponed his attack, and at sunrise called on the garrison to surrender.
 "Say to your commander" the brave grenadier replied, "that the garrison will defend this pass to the last ex- tremity."
 The officer with his flag of truce carried back this message and shortly afterward 6 piece of artillery was brought into the pass. The grenadier opened such 6 destructive fire upon the gunners that 1t was soon abandoned, with loss of five men.
 The Austrian colonel ordered an assault. As the troops entered the deflle they were received with 90 accu- rate and rapid . ire that by the time they had passed over half the distance they had lost fifteen men. They returned to the mouth of the defile. Three more assaults wer6 repulsed in like manner.
 At sunset the Austrians sent . sec ond summons to surrender.
 A favorable answer was this time returned. The garrison would sur render on the next morning, if allowed to march out with their arms, and return to the army unmolested. After some hesitation the terms were accepted.
 DAuvsrgns had accomplished his

Killing a Tigress.
RxohAnRa.

ExchAmGo.
 The notorious Jounsar man-eating tigress has ct last been killed by . young forest officer. This tigress has been the scourge of the neighborhood of ChakrAta, India, for the last ten years, and her victims have been many. On one occasion she seized one of a number of foresters who were sleeping together in hut, carried him of, and made him over to her cubs to play with, and then stood by and watched their gambols. The ghastly tragedy was witnessed by some of the poor mans companions who had sought refuge in tree.
 The tigress called her cubs in cat like and self-complacent manner, and soon the young tigers were romping about and rolling over the apparently lifeless body. She then lay down a few yards of, and with blinking eyes watched the gambols of her progeny.
 In few moments the man recovered herself, sat up and tried to beat the young brutes of. They were too young to hold him down, 90 he made a desperate attempt to shake himself free, and started of on a run; but be- fore he had gone twenty yards the tigress bounded out and brought him back to her cubs.
 Once moro the doomed wretch had to defend himself from their play ful attacks. He made renewed attempts to regain his freedom, but was seized by the old tigress and brought back each time before he had gone many yards. His groans and cries for help were eart-rending but the men on the trees were paralyzed with fear, and quite unable to do anything to assist their unfortunate comrade.
 At last the tigress herself joined in the gambols of her cubs, and the wretched man was thrown about and tossed over her head exactly as our domestic cat throws rats and mice about before beginning to feed on them.
 The mans efforts to escape grew feebler. For the last time his com- rades saw him try to get away on his hands and knees toward large fg- tree, with the cubs clinging to his limbs. This final attempt was as futile as the rest. The tigress brought him back once again, and then held him down under her forepaws and deliber- ately began her living meal before their eyes.
 It was this formidable beast that 6 young Cooper's Hill officer and com panion attacked on foot. They were working up her trail, fifteen yards apart, when suddenly the officer heard & cry of alarm from his comrade. He ran up just in time to see the young man borne to the ground by the tigress.
 The officer fired and shot the beast in the spine, and second ball gave her her quietus. The young man whom she attacked was seriously bruised, but will recover from his injuries.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever.
 A New Home Treatment.
 Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due 10 the presence of living parasites in the lining mem- brane of the nose and custodian tubes. Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be fact, and the re- suit of this discovery is that simple remedy has been formulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafuess and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. N B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an ointment; both have been discarded by reputable physi- clans ss injurious. A pamphlet ex- plaining this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten cents by A. H.

A Hospital built BY Verdi.

The Gazzetta Musicale Of Milan gavo
an interesting account Of the hospital
al Villauova, entirely built and sup
ported by Verdi, the composer. VII
ianova is situated about twenty miles
from Piacenza and in close vicinity TO
the Villa di SAINT Agata, the country
seat which Verdi has made his home
and where he lives in the mi OF a
farmer, abandoning all music from his
thought. and without SO much as q
piano in his house. The new hospi-
tai, an unpretentious but large build
ing, lies in a commanding situation
overlooking the Pc and with a distant
view Of the Apennines. There are two
wings-one for women, the other for
men, and a separate ward is SET aside for
contagious cases: there is also a hydro
pathic establishment, and most elabor.
ate arrangements have been made for
the disinfection Of linen and other
sanitary purposes. An efficient staff
of nurses and attendants is also pro-
vided, and Signora Verdi has made the
housekeeping department her special
care. The large sums required have
been contributed by Verdi, who has
also deposited sufficient funds for the
maintenance of the hospital. The
muniicence OF the great composer is
only equaled by his modesty. The
opening ceremony, which took place
on tho 9th inst, was of the simplest
kind, only Verdi and his family, the
physician, and the Sindaco Of Villa
nova being present. No speechifying
was allowed, Verdi remarking that
the only Inauguration necessary was
the admission of the sick and ailing,
twelve of whom were received then
and there. The Sindaco proposed that
the new building should be called
Verdi hospital, but to this also the
donor objected, and the name Hospital
Of Villanova was finally adopted.
