At the conclusion of the game between

teams at Harborne, on Saturday, MIR, Il,
b. Lowe allowed his dog, which ia a
beautiful black and tan Australian ter
TieT, to play the victorious team for
about quarter of an hour, As soon as
the dog was brought on to the feld he
seemed anxious to get ut the ball, and
when all was ready and he was let loose
among the team, in q few seconds he got
the ball, which was covered by net,
firmly between his teeth, He lodged
the players with great agility, and when
surrounded held the ball tightly between
his fore feet, and try as the players
would to obtain possession their efforts
were in vain.
Then seeing an opportunity, no would
dash off toward the goal stumps with
his two legged opponents in hot pursuit,
Passing, drihbling, and long kicking did
not prevent him getting the ball, and
once the net was between his teeth it
was futile to try by kicking or pulling
to release the ball. After about quar-
ter of an hours play" which caused
the spectators much amusement, tho net
on the ball was torn and sport was aban-

News has Just reached Liverpool Of
the arrival at Sierra Leone, west Africa,
of remarkable specimen of the ostrich
tribe, which the people Of that colony
have seen for the first time. The ostrich,
which is ten feet high, has come from
central Africa, and walked distance Of
at least 600 miles to the British colony.
The bird was sent by the great Moham-
medan chief, Alimamy Samadou, to Mr.,
Alfred l.. Jones, of Liverpool, who has
the coRling establishment at Sierra
Leone, 1t came down with caravan Of
the Alimamy's headmen and traders,
who arrived in the British settlement
with their produce, ivory, gold, etc.
1t is q most unusual circumstance for
an ostrich to be found in central Africa,
and when 1t reached Sierra Leone the
whole population turned out to soc It,
The traffic of the streets was stopped,
and the governor had to send q special
company of native police to escort 1t to
the Sierra Leone COalipg company'a
premises, AS the Alimamy Samadou is
a great Mohammedan, it is thought that
the bird may be regarded in some re-
ligiOus connection.
Knowing the great reverence the Ali
many has for Queen Victoria and the
English people, it is the intention of
Mr., Jones to offer the bird to her maj
esty as present from the great Mahom-
msdan chief. The ostrich, it is said,
will be sent over by the next African
steamer to Liverpool, London Stand

The introduction of a new saw for
lumber is to bs nQted--an upright maple
ment, thin like handsaw and having
direct steam attachment, at each end Of
1t steam cylinder, each of which has
but single steam port. The upper
piston draws the saw and the lower
piston up aud the lower piston draws
the saw and the upper piston down, each
piston drawing the saw, but neither of
them pushing 1t, this causing the saw kt
all times to be rigid, SO that very thin
saw can be employed.
Below the lower cylinder are heavy
pair of balance wheels, these giving a
steady as well as uniform motion to the
saw, and to these balance wheels are
connected q pair Of rods, the upper ends
of which connect with knuokle joint
at the lower end of the saw, thus throw
ing the lower end Of the saw out as it Is
going up and against the log as it Is
coming down, The log carriage is OPP
Grated by the same engine that runs the

A SCOTCH Tenant,s arlevanees.

Mr.. Hope Johnstone, Of Annandale,
who owns one of the largest estates IN
the south of Scotland, has raised an aG-
ton in the Dumfriss sheriff's court
against one of his hill tenants which Ia
exciting great interest in the north, Mr.,
Hope Johnstone sues the tenant for pay
ment of the last half years rent amount
ing to e4eb,
The tenant pleads that he Is entitled
to retain the sum due because the land
lord has violated the agreement cOnGern-
ing the burning of heather, with the OBJ
ject of providing additional cover for
game, the result bearing that the ten
ants sheep had no young heather to eat,
He also pleads that he has suffered
severe losses in consequence Of the
landlords keepers having killed down
Weasles, hawks, owls and smaller birds,
owing to which there has been q plague
of Voles, which have eaten up the pas
lures, The case is regarded throughout
Scotland as a test action, and If the ten
ant is the winner, then landlords who
sacrifice everything to the preservation
of game are likely to have bad time of
it.-LondOn Truth,

gether on the evening Of Aug, %, aud
they went to the house Of the Rev. MIR.

the father of the girl, alleges that il was
done through fraud and perjury, the
young husband having made oath that
he was twenty-five years old, and chat
his prospective bride was over eighteen

performed, it is alleged that the girl re-
turned to the home Of her parents, and

The cattle were feeding in a email

sea of fire down upon them. The an
imals staTapeded, but they ran in the
wrong direction. Before the cowboys
could turn the maddened animals the
herd was surrounded by flames, The
cattle huddled iu the center Of clear
ing, about a mile square in extent, and
the cowboys thought they might remain
quiet and eventually escape, Showers
Of cinders and sparks fell upon the herd,
however, and presently steer ran
amuck among its companions, goring
them with its horns and believing
frightfully. The other animals broke
and ran in all directions, Many Of them
dashed into the midst of the flames,
where they persisted in horrible agony,
Others ran into the burning forest
near where the cabins had stood, and
paused to drink at q water hole, but the
fluid was scalding hot, and the poor
