SHOT WITHOUT WARNING.

Taulbee soon after he was shot muttered
that Kincaid had shot him without warn
ing, but he has always been unable to make
q formal ante-mortem statement. MANY
think that in his delicate physical condition
kincaid was hardly responsible for his
action at the time of the shooting. Certainly
he has been acting strangely ever since for a

probably killed the man who had insult

ing kincaid was in waiting at one of the
entrances to the House of Representatives
for member to whom he had sent his card.
Taulbee made his appearance, and as the
best authenticated story goes, said

'Then you had better be-" is the reply
imputed to Taulbee, who then left the
scene.
kincaid possessed himself of pistol, and
met Taulbee a short time after, on a stair
way leading to the hall of Representatives.
There is no clear account of what occurred
here previous to the shooting. Sam Donel-
son, late doorkeeper of the House, the only
third party present, who was with Taulbee
descending the stairs, has hitherto refused
to say one word of the affair Kincaid tells
in vague way that Taulbee assaulted him.

conylet,s Medal.

Capt. Louis Bieral was discharge d
from AuLuin prison recently aft
er serving his sentence offive years
for shooting Surveyor Beattie in the
coustom house in New York. He
has a history and his nams 10 on the
honor roll of heroes Of the war of the
rebellion. The story OF his bravery
ut Balls Bluff is told in "Dyckink's
History of the War;" and 1t was told
to an Advertiser interviewer by the
hero himself ut the prison gate. It
was all about the rescue of Col. Bak-
er's body ut Balls Bluff. The Col
onel had been shot down by n con-
federate and the latter was killed in
turn by Bieral. Col Bakers body lay
between tho two lines when Bieral run
out of the ranks and picked it up.
The firing WIS heavy and tho
rescuer was shot through the top of
the head, but he lifted the body up
ind carried it into the union lines
amid IL storm OF bullets. President
Lincoln sent for him aiterwurd and
promised him u captaincy in the reg
ular army. Lincoln and Baker were
old friends and the President wcpt ut
the recital of his tragic death.
Bier oil ia now nearly 20 years ofage
but looks much Younger. He Wenrs
n medal on his breast inscribed: Cap
tian Louis Bieral, First California
Regiment, for saving the body OF
Colonel Baker,"
In regard to the crime which he has
just eNpatiated he was not SO COM
muncative. He said briefly that he
was discharged from the custom
house on a false charge ofrobbing q
poor woman of 81, preferred by Sur
veyor Beattie. He snid he was earn
ing $175 per month and did not need
to rob anybody. Ii he had been
simply discharged and no charge pre-.
ferred against him he would not
have made any trouble. He object
ed to the stain on his honor. He
sent word to Beattie that he must
withdraw the charge orsuffer the con.
sequences. No attention was paid
to the demand and he went to his
office and shot him. lie thought lie
had killed him. He blcd profuscly as
lie lay upon the floor an d for sew

AGalIant Deed,

An incident of the battle of Water.
100, heard from the duke himself
was told by Lord shaftesbury, the
philanthropist, to thelate Sir George
Burns, in whose biography it is
given by Mr.. Edwin Holder. At
one moment in the battle the duke of
Wellington was left alone, his aides
ae-camp having been dispatched with
messages A gentleman in plain
clothes rode up to him and said:
Can l be OF any, use, sir?" The
duke looked at him and instantly
said: Yes; take that pencilnote to
the commanding officer" (pointing
yagement.) The note was taken
and delivered, it's benrer galloping
through the thick of the fight to
execute his commission. After the
battle the duke made every inquiry
but never could find out to whom he
vas indebted for. this brave. service.
He told Lord Shaftesbury that he
considered this one OF the most
gallant deeds that had ever come
nnder his notice, seeing that it was
done without prospect of honor or
reward.-London Daily News.

Progress in The Sciences,

NJ. Jansen, from observations
taken ut the summit of Mont Blanc,
concludes that there is no oxygen as
we know 1t in the photospllere, and
that as oxogen would tend to COM
bine with hydrogen and cut off our
supply of heat by absorption, it is
satisfactory to know that the sun is
still fnr from that stage in it process
of cooling.
Some Interesting experiments have

At the recent meeting OF the Amer

A Clam Catches a Mouse.

CLAIMS, being an old settler here.
Lately hehad n pail fulllying longer
than he expected; becoming dry,

prevailing with them at such times.
After all had retired to bed, in the
still hours of the night, an unfortu.
nate mouse wandered over the pail.
The mouse's tail was too great a
temptation for one of the CLAIMS,
who Immediately seized it and closed
on it rs in IL wise. A terrible racket
ensued and Billy, waking up, saw
the white shell of a clam dancing up
and down oil around the room.
Billy, who has been frequently warn
ed unless he put less spirits down to
keep his spirits up that he might
see imaginary objects, began to
think that he fully realized the stu

he had killed the mouse the clam
still held on to the tail.-Union City

Colonial Thanksgiving.

ofspecial use and quality" "lor sue
cess and safe return of the Pequot
expedition, success to the conference
Mt Newton, and good news from
Germany" and "sad condition OF
our native country"
Throughout the continuance Of tie
Provincial Government the procla-
nations of thanksgiving were issued
by the royal governors. This action
was sometimes taken, however. upon
the suggestion of the General Court.
When the Stamp Act was repealed in
1866, the House Of Representatives
desired Governor Bernard to appoint
a day of general thanksgiving, to lie
observed throughout the province.
A proclamation was issued, appoint
ing July oath for the festival.
Upon the termination OF the Pro.
vincial Government, the Provincial
Congress issued the thanksgiving
proclamation direct to the people.
In 1774 the first Congress held it's
session in the Westinghouse ut Cam
bridge. October 22d of this year it
appointed Thursday, the fifteenth OF
December, to he obrerved rs n day
OF Thanksgiving.
1t had been the invariable usage of.
the royal governors to append after
their signature the formal ejacula-
ton, God save the King!". 1t was
not added to the Congressional
proclamation Of Iva.
Tho following year, 1875. the
Council, or tho upper house of the
Provincial Congress-, in session ut
Watertown. appointed November
23d Us a day of public thanksgiving
throughout the Colony. This pro.
clamation was signed by the several
members ofthe Council, and beneath
their signature was added the pray
err, "God save the People" The pro-
vince still retained the old title of
Colony"
In the following year, 1776, the
Congress acted in behalf of the
estate" for the first time, and since
then the proclamations have closed
with the prayer "God save the Com
monwealth OF Massucllusetts!'

and the other very inferior quality.
He handed the.case to Won Moltke,
who, after examining the cigars for o
long time, silently helped himself to

chancellor. and he remarked to some
one near at hand: 'tWhen l saw Won

Suits Against Railroads,

The income Of n good corporation
lawyer is fur above that of the best
paid Judges. The interests at stakes
are enormous. The Grand Trunk
Railroad company was compelled to
pay 45, 900 for personal damages
to u passenger in one case. The case
was tried three times, and on each
trial the jury increased the amount
ct damages. II the man had been
killed the full amount of damages
that could have been recovered
would have been only $4,000. If a
man loses u leg or a hand or IN eye
he may get rs much damages for it
as his heirs could get for his whole
body in case of death.-New York

Put to Flight by Porcupines.

Although it is a fact that there are
porcupines in this part of the state,
one il so rarely seen that few people
are aware of it. John Weeks OF
Friendship has lived on farm there
for forty years, and it was not until
a few days ago that he had any idea
that he was living neighbor to such
a thing as n porcupine. He was
digging potatoes in one OF his fields,
when dog that was with him sud-
denly bristled up and made a dash
for a row ofbushes along one edge
OF the field n couple ofrods away.
The dog came out of the bushes as
suddenly as he had dashed in, and
with him was n little animal which
Farmer Weeks had no difficulty in
recognizing us q porcupine. Tie
dog was yelping at the top of his
lungs, and lost no time in getting
AWAY from the spiny little beast he
had SO inconsiderately attacked.
His nose and head were filed with
quilts the porcupine had shed. Farm
er Weeks, provoked Mt the pligh t
his dog was in, rushed upon the por-
cupinc, which remained ut the edge
of the bushes, every quill erect, and
attacked it with his hoe. The little
animal sqealed and shook itself I'M
til its quilts ratified like castancts.
Instantly two other porupines came
running to it's aid, and they looked
80 fierce and belligerent that Farmer
Weeks beat a retreat and followed
his dog, who had gone yelping home.
After the farmer and his family had
pulled the porcupine's weapons
out of the dogs face and head,
Weeks took his gun and went out
to shoot the porcupines. He sue.
ceeded in killing one OF them, but the
other two got away.-Hornellsville
