Strange and Fatal Accident,

A peculiar and fatal accident hap
pened recently to man named Dun
ham who lived in Kechi township, Sedg-
wick County, Kan. A farmer named
Martin had killed number of hogs,
which he left hanging in his yard over
night. In the morning one was gone,
and in looking around for some trace
which might reveal the cause of its dis
appearance, he noticed, a short distance
from his house, something strange
propped against rail fence, and on in
vestigating found his hog hanging by
the gambrel stick around the neck of
Dunham.
The thief's neck was broken, and he
had evidently been dead some hours.
The supposition is that while climbing
the fence Dunham's burden had slipped
and caught his head in the moose formed
by the two legs and the cross stick, and
the heavy weight had instantaneously
cracked his neck.-Kansas City Star.

New zealand,s Wild Horses.

"Aboard the ship that carried me
from New Zealand to San Francisco
were six thoroughbred New Zealand
horses" remarked 7. Harding McLaurin,
wealthy sheepgrower of that British
possession, soon after he arrived at the
Grand Pacific hotel. "And the owner
expects to accomplish wonders with
these animals. 1t is strange thing to
many that good horses should be bred
in New Zealand. dare say that when
I get to England, and when 1 relate
various matters, my friends will answer
with stare of incredulity. AS point
of fact the vast plains to the north of
my place-Otago-ar the homes of
great herds of wild horses that roam
about as fearlessly as did the mustangs
or broncos of your western plains.
''Are they better horses than the mus
tangs? Well, they are as far above the
American article as the pure blooded
Arabian is above an ordinary draught
horse. They are large and well built, and
there is no uniformity of color. They live
upon the rich tassocks and peelie grass
that abound on their once volcanic fields.
s'The New Zealand wild horse is a
hard one to break, but once brought un-
der control he makes q magnificent driv-
ing or carriage animal. Cheap too. I
have seen beautiful fourteen hand horses
sold for fifteen pounds to be used for
coaches. Breeding with imported stock
produces a variety such as would be well
adapted to America. Just now sheep
raising is the great industry of the isl
and, but predict a great future for the
horse trade" Chicago News.

A Muskrat Tran.

Jim Candee, an old Lyme trapper, has
caught an unprecedented number of
muskrats this year. He sinks half barrel
near the runs of the rats to the level of
the ground, half fills it with water, and
then on floating pieces of boards in the
tub places small pieces of carrots. When
the muskrat jumps in after the bait he
can't get out, and he leaves the trap set
for another victim. Mr.. Candee has
caught as many as six rats in single
barrel in one night.-Hartford Times.

Walked from His Winters SIeep,

A Ledyard boy on Monday discovered
a woodchuck in heap of leaves in an
old tree and pulled him out. He was
curled up, with both forepaws pressed
closely over his eyes. When his paws
were pulled off his eyes he did not open
them, but yawned and gaped rs heavy
sleeper might be expected to do. The
animal could not be aroused from his
dormant condition until he had been in
a warm room for several hours. New

The r.eaves.

No leaf as yeti though like a-wraith Of snow
The white bell flowers have burst theil
sheathing green
And yielded to deep violets, and the sheen
OF those faint primroses that early strew
The garment of the earth. Verdure below,
But meier budding leaf to come between
Our eyes and the blue ether, broadly seen
Through tracery of beeches, stretching low
From mighty rafter boughs-the sere brown
OF woodland palaces, where rocking high
The solemn rook in sable chorus weaves
A twig into his nest, and yet more nigh
A wild bird sings of love among the leaves
The leaves that are to be when spring is by.
