How long Can the Cat stand Ito

There's a cross eyed a in a certain
Main street drug store. Like some
other homely creatures, the cat is re-
markedly intelligent, and the store
keepers have not been slow 10 turn its
sagacity 10 account. In this as in
other drug stores the people around
the soda fountain are continually drop
ping their cha ,ge on the floor.
The eat has been trained TO skulk
about the soda fountain, and 10 run,
catch and swallow all coins dropped by
customers before they can pick them
up. of course the customers can't de-
mand the money Of the druggists. In
deed they seem rather amused at the
cats strange appetite for metal, not
suspecting any design in it.
Every night about IL o'clock. Just be-
fore closing for the night, the druggists
administer "A powerful emetic 20 the

ouo rfah -o-o,

A year or Two ago there were among
the boarders at a mountain summer
hotel a celebrated botanist and a Ger
tain pretentious rich woman who liked
to make it appear to the guests that
she was very well informed on all sub
jects. The rich woman affected to take
an interest in the researches Of the bot
anist among the fora Of the mount
aims.

lady. you find almost all the mountain
flowers around heref'
'Ihave found a great many. ma'am,"

Tense. He testified as to when he first
saw the note, also to DIR. CoreY's being
in the habit of keeping a cash account,
and the cash book introduced showed no
minute of the $500 said to have been re-
ceived by him.
Thursday was used mostly In the put
ting in of dispositions from parties for
merly of Hardwick, showing that DIR. Co
rey did not write his name TO the note
when and where the plaintiff claimed also
that on June 6, 1888, during the after
noon, DIR. Corey was attending the fun
eral of DR.. Dustin of Craftsbury, and was
not at Hardwick, as the plaintiffs have
claimed on the other trials and will claim
on this. The defense is proceeding on
the ground that either the name was
forged or that pencil marks above the
name were erased and the note written
thereon.
Friday was occupied in putting in the
testimony of Hon. L. II. Thompson, w.
d. Crane, II. b. Cushman, clerk, and
others as to the appearance of the note
when first seen, and as to the erasure of
some lead pencil marks between the first
and second trials. DR.. Norcross was eX-
amined and testified as to the doctors be-
ing accompanied by him when at Hard
wick and that the doctor did not call for
Carrie Bridgman at all. The law of evil
dence has been most vigorously discussed
thus far. The case is still on trial at this
writing with prospect of continuing a
daV or two more.

The counsel engaged in the trial are
Bates & May of St. Johnsbury, j. G.

will be remembered that this is an action
on a note purpOrted to have been given

again in 1889, when there was verdict
for the plaintiff, after which the case
went up to the supreme court on eXcep-
tons and was remanded for trial. The
case was opened with the testimony of

and brooded over the matter until his
reason was upset, and he repaired to
the cemetery and took strychnine.

dressed to his parents a eve on
Hartung, who, it is said, had driven
him TO commit suicide. Hartung dis

This was three miles Of the finest

Cortez Co. Whilst it is very I'M
fortunate for the Cortez management
to be put to this large expense, yet it is
not near so bad as il some poor COM
pany or individual had to do it. The
county has not been called upon TO
spend a cent on the roads nea Cortez

Thomas Wren explains itself:
WASHINGTON, June 3, 1891.
Thomas Wren, Esq.-Sir: / have
received by reference from the Depart
ment your letter Of the 18th ultimo,
addressed to the Secretary Of the In
terror, and asking to be informed il it
is proposed to Immediately enforce
the regulations which you learn through
the press have been issued by the
Department requiring all persons cut
ting timber upon the public mineral
land in Nevada and several other
States to procure permits TO do SO;
which you believe, will assuredly re-
suit in many prosecutions and great
hardships to a certain class Of poor and
ignorant wood cutters, If strictly IN
forced before a sufficient time shall
have been allowed for these petty Of
tenders and also the wood purchasers
to become informed Of these regula-
tons.
You will find herewith a copy Of the
regulations issued by the Department
May 5, 1891, under the Act OF March
1881, amendatory Of Section g., of the
Act of March 8, 1891, repeating the
timber culture laws and for other pur-
poses.
You will observe that the former
Act OF June 3, 1873, and the rules and
regulations Hereunder, relative to cut
ting on public mineral lands for sale
still remain in force. All cases of cut
ting for sale in violation Of the pro-
visions of the said Act Of June 3,
1873, or the Act OF March 3, 1891, COM
ing TO this office, will be disposed OF
as they arise with such action as may
be appropriate under these acts and
the rules and regulations Hereunder.
The said Act OF March 3, 1891 takes
effect atthe date OF its approval. 1t is
not in the power of this Department to
delay the execution Of a law after it
takes effect but the recent rules and
regulations have been distributed and
will be promulgated as widely and
rapidly as possible. Very respectfully,
T. II. CARTER,
Commissioner.

Remarkable vitality.

In the death OF Judge Edwards a
singular Ease of nerve and vitality is
brought to light. 1t appears that
early in the evening his son went to
his bedside to administer medicine to
his father. The patient said that he
was feeling very badly, and Incl
dentally mentioned one or two small
bills which he thought ought to be
paid. This was the only intimation
his son had that perhaps death was
not far distant. Dwight then left the
room and lay down on a sofa. He
was very drowsy, having been watch
ing by his fathers sick-bed a long
time. Dwight had been reclining but
a few minutes when he heard the first
shot. Hastily arising he started for
his fathers room, and had gone but a
few steps, when he heard his father
exclaim "Oh my God" after which the
second shot was fired, which was prob
ably the one taking effect just above the
left ear, passing clear through the
head. The fact that with a bullet in
his brain he still had the vitality to
cry out and fire another shot is re-
markable.-Carson Appeal.
