WILDCATS IN CoLoHEsrEB.

The Desperate Encounter Which Two
 Farmers Had With Them-Connec-
 tieut Wildcats Losing Ground.
 Connecticut is not alone in getting reputa- ton for desperate encounters with real live, wfde-awake wildcats. in the following tele graph dispatch yesterday from Colchester N. Y. says:
 L. Dobson of Colchester, N. Y., has lost a large number of choice fowls recently. The closest watch for several days failed to re- veal any clew whatever regarding the thief, though couple of laying hens were found dead in the hennery, spite of the close sur veillance that the farmer had kept up. A couple of large sized cats had been seen to enter the coop, but suspicion did Rot point to the felines.
 A night or two ago Farmer Dobson and one of the work hands, hearing the disturbance, went out stealthily to catch the depredator.
 A pair of gleaming eyes looked down from perch on the men, while ugly growls and other portentous signs startled them not 3 little. The catamount did not wait to be attacked, but leapinR to the shoulder of Dob son, began to scratch and bite viciously. After a pretty lively kind of fight the men killed the feline, and were about making an examination of couple of dead fowls that were lying on the ground, when another wildcat made for them.
 Dobson says he never encountered SC vicious and desperate an animal. It olung to the farmland like grim death, and Dob son could not use either oudgel or shotgun for fear of wounding his com panion. The cat was finally choked to death in rather unusual way. In its excitement to draw blood the ugly brute got it's head under thu long flaps of the mans ulster pocket. Throw ! ing the end of his coat over the pocket, tn, l cats head was completely covered, and ther ! the throat was caught through the heav! coat and squeezed until all life was extinct | The carcasses of the two cats weight 5' pounds. The last one killed weighed 31 }. pounds. A third wildcat was shot by Dob son the next morning few yards away iron ! his house.

HIS NEW FIELD.

Pastor Evans Letter of Resigna-
 ton.
 Rev. P. S. Evans ot Fair Haven has sent the following letter to his people, who with deep regret part with him:
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. go, 1889. To the Grand avenue Baptist church:
 Bear brethren-I beg herewith to tender my resignation as pastor of the church, to take effect after the first Sunday in February. It is already known to you that have con- scented to assume the position of superintend- ent of mission, in the service of the Connec- ticut Baptist convention.
 It is hardly necessary to say that this DO. sition was not sought by me, and that, in- deed, my first determination was to decline it and remain with you as long as it might please you to content yourselves with my ministry In my final decision 8 sense of duty, and not any personal preference, has influenced me.
 The severance of the pastoral relation is at all times painful-to one, at least, of the parties. If this should be painful to you, it is even more so to me. Did I suppose that my leaving would seriously embarrass the church even for a little while, I should not presume to take the responsibility on myself. But am sure some man will be found, who will more than supply my lack of scr vice, and under whose leadership the church will attain larger increase and prosperity. In looking back upon the period of my pastorate-only two months over three years T see that little has been accomplished o1 all that seemed to me, at the beginning, pos sible of achievement.
 In membership we have little more than held our own. Only in the last few months has any effort been made toward removing the church debt. It might as well have been at tempted two or three years ago. Until this is an accomplished fact you will not be in 6 position to attempt what you so much need enlarged accommodations, especially for youl social meetings.
 You have suffered not little by removals this is incident to all churches and particu' larly those who are struggling up towards permanent establishment. Yet my convic' tion has been constantly strengthened that there is hopeful future before you.
 Of that future the happy harmony prevail ing among you is the surest augury. Patient continuance in well doing, and an increasing confidence toward God will surely bring you that reward of success.
 desire to assure the church of my warm appreciation of the constant kindness l and mine have received at your hands. Youl intercourse with us has been marked by un- failing consideration, for which we shall al. ways hold you in most grateful considera' ton.
 Yours in Christian love, PHILIP s, EVANS.

How She Secured . Play and Manager
 MaeGeachey a Ssar.
 One sunny morning last summer, Selens Fetter, who is the star of "The Tigress' company, now playing at the Hyperion, was hurrying down Broadway, New York, in quest of 8 prominent playwright. She encountered Charles MacGeschy hasten. ing up the same great thoroughfare anxious to overtake well known actress, who had just started from her residence near by, to take boat to the seaside.
 "Ah, where are you going in the same haste as myselfs" he asked.
 ''To look for a play" she said.
 "And am after @ star for play have, he rejoined. "Perhsps neither of us need hurry any further"
 Then he told her about the dramatization Ramsay Morris had made of his new novel, which had just been published, and was the rage of the city and watering places. She besought an immediate reading of the play that very noon, which was granted by MT. Morris, to whom Miss Fetter at her request, had been conducted by MT. Mac Geachy.
 At the conclusion of the reading the three signed a contract to produce the dramatiza- ton, with Miss Fetter and the author as stars and MT. MacGeachy as manager. The play then bore the same name as the novel, but the title was soon after changed to "The Tigress."
