was
TOTALLY DESTROYED By FIRE
about 4o'clook pm. The fire wa.
discovered in the southwest corner
of the mill. The alarm being Civ
Ell, every effort TO extInguiSh the
fire was employed, but without
avail, for in less Than five minutes,
owing To a strong westerly WIND
blowing directly fiom The fire
through the mill, the whole -struc-
ture was enveloped in flames.
Their two-story office near the mill
was also destroyed, but the books
and
VALUABLE PAPERS WERE SAVED.
Their lighthouses and planning
mills and twelve hundred and fifty
thousand feet Of lumber were saved
by their three tug boats ard their
immense Knowles pump situated
iii a brick building adjoining the
mill.
The steamer Sarah came down
from Loglown, a village near by,
aud did excellent services towards
saving The property. Their
wharves, together with about
2,500,0 900 FEET OF LUMBER,
valued at $4,000, we're destroyed.
The mill was valued al $4,000
and insured for $4,000. There was
no insurance on the lumber.
The disaster throws out OF EN-

NEW STYLES IN DOGS.

MastIfTs, Bulldogs and Terriers Have
Taken the Place OF the Pug.
Now nothing is so scorned as Spitz
or the pug. The huge mastiff, the
bulldog, the bull terrier or the fox ter
rier are Ia mode. The little Blen-
helm has a certain cachet, because the
United States is, in a roundabout way.
connected with the Marlborough
family. The bulldog, when at all
amenable to the wilcs of mankind, is
gentle and very affectionate, although
it looks so wicked. But of the entire
procession of smart dogs the fox ter
rier undoubtedly, metaphOrically and
really. takes the cake. His body
should be entirely white and only one
half his face and ears should be
marked; his tail should be bitten of
just after his birth, and in time few
hairs grow on the end of it that arc
plumy in effect The fox terrier is
frightfully nervous, consequently no
is not good dog TO take out driving,
as he wants to meander all over the
carriage and have you stop while he
exchanges greeting with any large
dog he may notice on the sidewalk.
He has a weakness for large dogs II
he goes out for walk he loses no OPP
portunity to ingratiate himself with
blOOdhOunds, mastiffs or NewfOund-
lands. His overtures are seldom met
with enthusiasm, and he is apt to be
sat upon materially after the first
greeting, but this does not daunt him
or affect his belief in human nature,
as developed in great size. Men Of
his size he cares nothing for.
1t is at hOL-e that the fox-terrier is
seen at his best. He adOres children
and spools of thread; he endeavors to
swallow a bonnet-pin with the samo
ease that he does chicken bone. He
has rooted likes and dislikes, and he
knows when he is being spoken to
whether his name is mentioned or not,
just as well as he knows the difference
between ginger-ale and champagne.
He is not a greedy dog. but he is a
dainty one He sympathizes with you
in your woe by a series of most exuber-
ant kisses, and when you are glad
about any thing he dances about you
wildly, expressing his great glee at
your Joy. he will let a small child
tear him to pieces, will walk on two
legs or on his ear to conciliate the
baby. but from grown person permits
no cOntemptuous triAing. even with his
tail. His memory is good He never
forgets friend or foe. and he has a
fine set of teeth with which to revenge
himself. He is as mischievous as Puck.
but as faithful and loving as only dog
can be. am speaking of that which
know, and my acquaintance with a
fox-terrier is more than intimate. it is
chummy. Philadelphia Times.

A CATS sAeAcITY
The Kcone Delight Taken by It in the
Killing of a YearlIng.

Killing Of a Yearllng.
Speaking OF intelligent cats, VIC
owed one when we were camped on
the Big Sandy river who knew a thing
or two. The Doctor was not hand
some; none of us thought that, but in
a country where one saw only Indians
and coyotes week in and week out, a
cat was good companion for man
who had to watch the camp when tho
others were away with the cattle.
The most noticeable thing about tho
Doctor at first blush was his face and
his eyes. There was a white spot
over one eye and half of his face which
made him look like a bald-faced
horse. To add to the odd effect
caused by this blotcA. the Doctors
eyes were Of different colOrs. Ono
was green and the other a sort of
brown. But if the Doctor was not
noted for his beauty he was much re-
spected on the Big Sandy. and no little
consideration was shown him in look
ing after his wants. It is certain that
as far as provisions went he always
Jared better than any man in tho
camp.
Ii there was one thing which tho
Doctor and the rest of US took a lively
interest in, it was the killing of a year
ling to get fresh meat 1t may be
supposed that fresh meat was not
] scarce in a cattle camp, but this was
not true. 1t was not often that the
/ few men who watched the herd found
time to do any Strengthening So when
it was decided to kill yearling there
was an unusual stir of interest among
/ the men.
The Doctor in short time got to
know so much about this operation
that at the first sign Of preparation he
gave expression to the widest gles.
! As soon as one of the men began to
sharpen his knife the Doctor climbed
a fence post and on top of it began a
series of crazy antics. He raised his
back, with hair standing up like por-
cupine quilts, and howled until the
men started TO assoc a yearling Then
the Doctor became a four-legged fiend.
With a wild scream he leaped from the
post and ran before the horses, tum-
bling over and over, clawing at the
ground and tanglfng himself up with
the horses feet.
But when the yearling was caught
the Doctor became still more violent,
and his actions were simply demOni-
acal. Not till the yearling was killed
did he become calm, and then the con-
trast was startling. He walked around
the PROSTATE animal with an air of the
keenest delight, always ending his
celebration by leaping lightly to it:
back and sitting there, purring softly
and looking cOntented with the world
and every thing on its surface.-N Y.
