A VERY SHREWD FOX.
He Managed to Escape From an rs-
land by Stimulating Death.

He Managed to Escape From an ts-
land by Stimulating Death.
A recent writer tells an anecdote
which, though taxing belief, he says is
vouched for by an eyewitness of the
affair. Some fishermen on the west
coast of Ireland were in the habit of
going to a small island a few hum
dred yards from the mainland, in
quest of bait. The island was inhab-
tied by large numbers of rabbits, and
could be reached at low tide by wad-
ing, the water there being only few
inches deep. One morning they went
in their boat quite early, it being high
tide, and on landing saw a dead fox
lying on the beach. TIL efur of the ami
NAL was all bedraggled, and he seemed
to have been drowend. One of the
men, remarking that his skin was
worth something, pitched him into the
boat.
Procuring their bait they returned
to the mainland, and the man who
had possessed himself of the fox seized
him by the tail and flung him on the
shore. As soon as the animal struck
the beach he picked himself up with
considerable agility for dead fox,
and shot off like flash up among the
cliffs, while the men stood staring at
each other in mute establishment.
The men concluded that he had
crossed over tc the island during the
night when the tide was i, low,
in search of rabbits and
finding in the morning he was
cut off from the mainland, coun-
terseited death, with the expectation
OF thereby procuring a passage to the
shore in q boat, an expectation which
was fully realized. Boston Cour-

County Surveyor f. r. Lewis, who was
supposed to have been lost in the tor
nado in the upper woods, re-
turned safe and sound Monday He
was only partially in the storm,
having been on the north edge
of it, but crossed it's entire track
on his return. From his statement
the townships devastated cover about
400 square miles. In this area Sur
veyor Lewis estimates that over 90 per
cent. of all the pine timber is down.
Mr.. Lewis thinks that if this timber
could be cut before fire gets into it the
loss would not exceed SO, 900, 900 or TO-
100000 feet. Otherwise it will be
double that amount.

WIND AND WAVE.
Great Ocean Steamers the Prey of Sea
and Gale.

New YORK, aQct. 13.-The terrible
storm which hSS swept over the Allan
tic and beaten upon the coast has
strewn the shore from Maine to Flor
ida with the wrecks of many craft and
has undoubtedly cost the lives of many
hardy seamen.
The great steamers from Europe had
terrible experience in the gale. The
Umbria and the Augusta Victoria, of
the Cunard line, arrived Monday and
both suffered severely. Four of the
passengers of the steamship Augusta
Victoria have broken limbs to eX-
hibit as record of the severity of the
voyage. Eight others were more or
less injured on the vessel. The vessel
ran into the gale on the 4th and could
not shake it off until the 9th. The
seas ran mountain high and
frequently broke over the bows
of the steamer washing every
thing movable from the decks. A sud-
den roll of the vessel on the widest
day of the storm dashed many of the
passengers down, and when picked up
four We're found to have broken arms
and legs, while eight others were Sc
verely bruised.
Several passengers on the Umbria
were injured also.
