 Office.
 Henry O'Neil, who has been removed from the office of constable by the selectmen, proposes to do business at the old stand and declares that he can legally serve writs and exercise the other func- tions of the office of constable notwlth- standing the selectmen's action. He claims to have consulted high legal au- thority and declares that the selectmen have no right to release his bondsman until the year for which he qualified has expired. Mir O'Neil says that he could easily have secured another bondsman, but refrained from so doing by advice of his counsel. The selectmen make light of the threats of O'Neil to bring the matter before the courts.
 Mir O'Neil says he has no feelings whatever against the selectmen, they having notified him three months ago to secure a new bondsman.

A UNIQUE Rctifsr.

At a recent meeting of the Natural
History Society DR.. Thomas s. Stevens
entertained and instructed the members
by an illustrated paper on rotiieT' a
microscopic animal that IS among tae
rarest in the group. 1t was first discog-
cred by a Russian microscopes, next
found twice in Philadelphia, once in Hi
nois, and some years agoin Trenton. 1t
has now been re-discovcred here.
The creature is unique in several par
ticu'ars that would be of but little inter
est to the general reader, but which fill
with inexpressiblc joy the heart Of the
devoted microscopic, who IS happy when
he is prying into the little brain or the
larger stomach Of the animal.
The little creature is blessed above the
human beast in having two stomachs,
which it can ill with other animals, and
apparently enjoy itself by diges.ing them
in spite Of their wriegling. But in con-
nection with one Of the animals stom-
achs a dscoycryhas been male in Trcn-
ton that has never before been made in
any part OF the world-otherwise it
would not be discovery. This pouch
is internally lined with a dense and wool
" coating of vibrating hairs. These
strange internal appendices appear to be
unknown to any other than the Trenton
rotifer, and are, therefore, Of great inter
est in a scientific way.
Another pleasing poiut, pleasing both
to the animal and to the microscopes, is
that the rotifer has 20 means Of seeking
its food nor Of creating currents in the
water that shall bring food to its double
stomach. 1t can only rest on a small leaf
or other object, hold its mouth widely
open and wait for Providence TO ill it by
means of some wandering animal that
shall blunder into the trap and be done
for; because once in those jaws there is
no escape. Trenton az. ~ S,ate O.

Paper Kade From Legs.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is such a keen
observer and accurate and able reporter
that, if he were old enough, he might be
suspected of being the bright boy in the
children's story of "Eyes and No Eyes,
"Growed Up lie always brings back
lots to talk about from his travels and
voyages, even his little ones. Speaking
the other day about his recent trip over
the Rome and Wateytown Road, he said
"Let me tell you about the most in
terestiug thing which l saw in my trip.

gathered from all the hospitals and pest
houses. slun.s and reservoirs Of misery in

with them serious epidemics and fatal
plaques, and the paper mill was the last
place that any man would want to take
anybody to, except mis- creditors, aud he
would take them there upon the chance
that he wculd get rid of part of them
from the diseases which they might con-
tract.

Wild Hogs in Arizona.

Roaming over the lands Of the Lerdo
colony, seventy miles south Of Yuma, are
droves Of wild hogs, variously estimated
at from one to three thousand in num-
Der. They are descendants Of tame hogs
placed on the ranch when Thomas II.
Blythe was part owner, about thirteen
years ago. After Biythe's deeease and
subsequent reversion of his interest to
General Andrade, the hogs were turned
loose and allowed to 80 at will over tho
rich bottom lands of the Colorado River.
A few generations transformed them into
SAVAGE beasts. who would attack AMI eat
man if they had the opportun-
ity. They subsist chiefly on the wild
potato, a tuber which grows the size Of
a walnut and in great profusioa. The
present owner of Leldo, General An
drade, conceived the idea of having the
hogs caught and the meat cured for the
use Of the colonists.
Operations were begun about year
ago, and though not conducted on a
large scale have proven successful. The
hogs are caught in circular corral about
thirty feet in diameter, having a trap
door. Plenty Of bait in the shape of
corn and potatoes is scattered about the
entrance aud also buried in the canal. A
band Of hogs are attracted by the bait,
enter the corral, commence roofing for
the buried corr and potatoes, and when
the right spot is struc', by them the trap
door falls and they arc prisoners. The
hogs arc fed while before Strengthening.
Their meat is Of fine quality and the lard

2 brief statement Of facts. The tuberous
begonias, after several years OF trial, both
in this country and in England, have
been found unable to stand full exposure
to bright sun for any length Of time, the

A species of corn especially adapted 10
Kansas is being distributed by the United
States experimental grass station in that
State. It is called Jerusalem corn, and
the plant grows to the height of about
three feet and resembles broom corn or
sorghum. The grain is white aud an
swers every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and bet
ter bread and is delicious when boiled,
after the manner of oat meal. In wet
weather it runs to stalks aud grows six
feet high without any grain to speak Of.
1t produces best when the season is dry,
and after the plant gets start it is said
to be absolutely impervious to the In
fuence Of drought and hot Winds Cti-
