A Fiqdt WA a Wid Cat.

One night last week the canal-boas
commanded by Captain Spooner
Spong was tied up near Seneca. The
tow-boy, youth named John Some
thing, was up very early attending to
his mornings work. Just as he was
lighting his pipe he heard a screech
and a spit, and the next instant q
Wild cat jumped on his shoulders.
The vicious creature got Johns band
in its mouth and began 10 chew on 1t,
when tho boy threw the cat off. 1t
returned to the attack, and he got 1t
and himself into the hay cabin. The
two had a pretty lively scrimmaGe in
there, but the beast was finally over
powered. The boy carried it out, and
by this time Spooner was on hand.
While they were looking looking at it
the cat suddenly revived and spranS
at Spong, who knocked it into the
canal. 1t swan out and again at
tackled him, and it was only by the
liveliest sort of fighting that the wick
ed varmint was finally killed.

POSTMASTER HUDSON
TAKES CHARGE OF THE PosToFFlcE
 TODAY.
He Received Orders to Don the Tosa This Morning, but Preferred to Wait Until the weak's Business
 Was Completed.

This afternoon our new Post master, MT. James NJ. Hudson, takes formal charge of the postoffice here. He received instructions to take control of the business this morning, but owing to the week being so near an end and prefering that the week s business should all be in and in regu- lar order, he decided not begin work officially until today's business closes, which will be about o'clock, or at least when the Register depart ment is closed.
 ! The GRAPHIC stated that MT. Hud- son was in control last Monday. This conclusion arrived from the fact that Mr. Hudson and his son. Mir. Harry Hudson, as first clerk, were seen actively engaged in the work of the office. This, however, we learn, was only training so as to become acquainted with the general affairs of the business when the time for ac- tive work arrived.
 Howevee this may be, Mr. Hudson lis Postmaster today in every sense lof the word, having donned the of fcial toga today.
 For the past few days we have had occasion to hear discussed Mir. Hud- sons appointment, and we do not fbelieve any other appointment could ahave given as general satisfaction; in fact, in all our rounds we heard mot dissenting voice nor met with 9 dissatisfied invividual. We are fperfeetly satisfied that the affairs of the postoffice are in safe hands and the public can rest assured that efficient and satisfactory service will mark sthe new administration.
