He Killed q Deer.

Living in the WILLIAMSBURG neigh
borbood is a superannuated old colored
man named Harrison Jordan, commonly
called 5" the General.' Too old and
feeble to work he spends a good part
of his time hunting. He is not able to
walk much but takes his stand in the
woods near an oak or hickory and
waits until squirrel drops nut when
he goes in pursuit and usually bags the
game. A few days ago while thus en-
gagged an 80 pound young buck walked
up within 80 steps of the old man be-
fore either was aware of the presence
Of the other. He leveled his gun and
blazed away emptying the load in the
neck Of the animal killing him instantly.
It is said that Cleveland is not as proud
of the position he occupies nor is VIM.
Mckinley as jubilant at his big major
ity over Neal in Ohio as that old dar-
key was over killing that deer.

This Is a Fact.
Mr.. Ben Smith tells US of an unusual
and remarkable occurrence. He has
COW and hog that stay together in the
same pen. For several weeks the COW
has been gradually falling off in the
quantity Of milk she gives, while the
hog-one weighing upwards of 100
pounds-has been growing and thriving
in a way that was both surprising and
gratifying to the owner. Recently it
has been difficult to get as much as
quart of milk from the cow while a
gallon or more ought to be obtained.
Mr.. Smith thought some one was milk
ing the COW on the sly and watched to
see who it was. Imagine his surprise
to find that the hog was the guilty
rascal. But he was very sly about it
and only played calf at night or when
no one was around looking. The COW
and hog appear to be very fond of
each other and several times she has
been seen licking and caressing the
porker as she would her own calf, and
upon being separated both seemed to
be restless and dissatisfied until they
got together again.

the credit Of recognizing merit In a
way not now adopted by the civil SER

treasury was bankrupt and the only
means was to capture one from tho
north, and band Of one-hundred men
was selected with the foreman OF q
quarry as leader.
They made raid upon a section OF
the B. & 0. track, tore some OF 1t up;
signuled the first train, and by means
of ropes pulled the ponderous engine
over hill aud down dale. through
woods and over streams. until south.

up this man from the quarry. and by
means OF this exploit he became road
