minutes, and soon the dog had
enough of it and started TO come
out Mr.. Roush removed the net to
let the dog out when pop" comes
the cat after. Not having his net
ready, he put his foot in the hole to
keep her i'll until he could arrange
his net. A few rips from her ter
rible claws tore his strong leather
boot into smithereens, but he hastily
placed his net and she darted out and
into it, An ordinary wildcat would
have been safe, but not so with this
one, One or two rips with her
claws and the net began TO give
way. She was fighting viciously,
and Mr.. Roush finding his prize
about to escape he deliberately
threw himself on her and dexterous-
ly slipped another net over her, then
throwing her across his shoulder he
started for home. Arriving there
late and being tired, he dropped
the cat into II wash-boiler which he
covered with board and set il
aside of his bed. During the night
he heard n commotion in the boiler.
and, looking up, he found that the
animal had again freed herself from
the net, had pushed the board aside
and was about to spring out at him.
A tap on her head with his hand sent
her back. The lid was fastened and
the animal retained until he had his
iron cage prepared for her reception
which still remains her prison house.
Mr.. Roush occasionally removes
the partition and allows the ami
mails to exchange courtesies, but he
keeps constant watch over them
for fear they do each other injury.

Capturing a Wild Cat.
CHARLES RoUSu. THE VETERAN HUNTER,
CAPTURES TWO sINGLE-HANDED.

Charles Roush, of Freeb urg, aged
~ years, and oldest son of Simeon
Roush, decd, now has in captivity
two large, vicious-looking wildcats
captured by his own hands. Not
withstanding his advanced age he is
n man that can still stand wonder
ful amount of fatigue, and although
he has the physique of pioneer,
one would hardly believe that be-
hind his mild countenance lurked
the crattiness, courage and determi-
nation that makes him remarkable
man. We have all heard of Simeon
Roush, the great hunter how he
was able to follow his houndsa Il whole
day on foot, and be with them Mt
the death of the deer or fox that
had lead them hard chase. Chas.
Roush, the hero of this article, is n
man who inherited all his fathers
traits in this respect, and, armed
with his old rusty, fint.lock musket,
(Which he still carries and claims to
be the best gun in the world he is
n man, who in his prime would have
been n typical pioneer and n leader
among men like Boone, Brady, Crock
ct and Kenton.
We drove to Freeburg on Friday
of last week for the express purpose
of renewing our acquaintance with
the old gentleman, see his pets
and learn the story of their capture

n bushel OF steel traps--l.., ses in
size from twenty pound bear trap
to the common rat trap. Piles of
fat pine, skins, hatchets, knapsacks,
nets, &c., ornamented the room.
Upon entering his sleeping apart
ment we found the objects of our
search, viz, two monstrous, lean,
lank, vicious-looking wildcats, strik-
ing and blowing like adders ut every
move we made. Their prison house
consisted of II common store box
with iron bars in front and Il peti-
tion in the middle. On top of the
box lay three guns. The one an
army carbine and the other two old
ilint-lock muskcts with muzzles
like meat stands. One of them
much resempled the gun used by
Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Wrinkle.
We picked it up, and removing the
leather cap, opened the hrc-pan and
found it full of powder. 1T isn't
loaded is it, we remarked. 20, yes,
he never shoots except to kill was
the response. We replaced the
leather cap over the breech and
carefully laid it down while fond
memories of our childhood days,
when we too carried such weapon
to kill the wild pigeon crowded
each other in their pace. But alas,
and sad to say, that royal game
with the gun of that period has
passed away.
The story of the capture of the
animals is most interesting, and es-
pecially the last one was II most
dangerous undertaking single hand
ed. This cat is the largest and most
savage he ever owned, for she is
utterly unapproachable and must be
fed with II stick. Her meat is fast
ened to the end of the stick and
passed through the bars. Without
the slightest movement of her blaz-
ing eyes which are constantly riyet-
ed on the visitor, her foot comes up
like II flash of lightning and the meat
disappears under her launches. Even
this friendly act seems to anger the
beast and her appearance is simply
terrible. Mr. Roush captured her
about two weeks ago. The hard
winter had driven her out of her lair
and the hounds came across her
track on Shade Mountain. The cat
becoming Hard pressed took to q
hole in the rocks. Mr.. Roush, who
is always prepared for such emer.
gencies, sent one of his dogs ioto the
hole after the cat and then. aot y; his

MARCH.

We have entered the month of
March. the first of Spring in name
at least. Ordinarily it is the most
disagreeable of all the months-cold.
snowy and stormy, but we imagine
we need have no anticipation of any
heightened interval of Arctic vista
tions, since, having had snow con-
continuously since the latter part of
December, the fields covered with
the fieecy material TO IA depth of sew
eral feet, and roads blocked fence
high, it is likely the supply in cloud
land is pretty well exhausted. Feb
ruary was indeed u wintry month.
Its snow storms were frequent, and
its temperature clung close to zero.
The several months which old Win
ter has kept mantled in robes of
spotless white were hard upon the
homeless, while the severe aud sud
den changes which have shadowed
the season have left their memen-
toes in many caugh aud cold, and
are marked by grief which garlands
many grave. Still the season
breathed rocompense in smiles
gladness to the growing grain, and
Joy to many happy heart which to
the answering melody and brilliance
of music and moonlight gaily glided
over the sparkling snow. March is
a blustery, windy, tickle month
Rough, cold and boisterous as he
usually is, March is nevertheless
welcome. Rude and clustering,
with whirlwinds and fierce storms
in his train, he clears the atmos-
phere, dispels the snow and brood
ing miasma, dries up stagnant pools
fraught with death, and rushes into
the forest arches and chases away
the vapors that rest " or1 dark

is always blusterer. A March
wind is proverbially drying one,
and it takes up the moisture left by
melting SHOWS with an astonishing
rapidity. And these winds also fer
telize the farmers fields. As they
rapidly remove the water from the
surface more comes up from below
by capillary attraction, bringing
with it the plant food it holds in
solution. As this in turn is evoporat-
ed, whatever it contains is left in
the soil within reach of the roots of
the crops. 1t is therefore very fool
ish to fret about March weather.
However disagreeable it may be, if
we look with believing eyes we can
see that every dispensation of ma
ture is ever working for our good.
The origin of March is traceable to
the Romans, who regarded it rs the
first month of the year until the
style was changed in 1852.

The other case was I


Wagner VS.. Spring tov-np.
history of this case briefly stated is
rs follows: Some time in the sum-
mer of 1890, the plaintiff in this cas- @
was moving his traction engine and
thresher to the farm Of Mr.. Mitchell.
In going there the plaintiff was COM
PEELED to pass over II wooden bridge.
The plaintiff went ahead and direct
ed the way over it, but when the en-
gine got on to it the bridge broke
down and the engine fell to the bot
tom of the creek, doing considerable
damage. For this the plaintiff sued
the Township of Spring. The Town
ship claimed that the plaintiff was
guilty of negligence, that ho should
have examined the bridge, &c, but
since the traction engine has its
rights upon the highway, the town
ship supervisors must afford them
rs much protection other vehicles,
and il becomes the duty of the SUI
pervisors to examine their bridges
thoroughly and completely if they
wish to escape damages. The jury
in this case rendered II verdict in IA

An exchange fig ures it out for the farm
er IN this way: If tho farmer will make
a little calculation he will find that if his
harvest brings him, say IL bushels of
wheat to the acre, and his plan is to pay
cash as he goes, his expense will be less
than if his crop gave him 16 bushels to
the acre and he ran accounts on long time.
There is another advantage that m
along with the ready pay SYSTEM. 1t will
promote diversified farming and the far
mer will always have something that he
can be turning. into cash. The wheat can
90 to market when the harvest is done,
oats barley and corn are always in de-
mand, cattle will always find a market,
hogs and poultry never look for buyers;
butter, cheese and eggs will find custom
ers every week in the year, small fruits
and vegetibels command the market in
their season. There ia not n month in the
year but that the farmer may have pro-
ducts to turn to cash, and when he goes to
the store to trade the discounts secured by
the day down buyer add to his profits and
reward.

jamestown Alert Several of the hobo
element were found drunk yesterday and
the night before, on alcohol. These men
evidently got alcohol from some place or
places in the city. For 81 cents enough
alcohol can be purchased which, when
mixed with water, will make a compound
equal in quantity to $3.50 worth of whls-
key. This alcoholic mixture makes a
crazy, furious drunk and incites men to
deeds that beer and whiskey do not. The
police have a sample of this alcoholic mix
ure and it is terrible stuff to lodge in the
human stomach. Policeman Draper has
had one or two experiences with alcohol
toughs recently that make him declare
that a beer or whiskey drunk are ten times
easier to handle. These alcoholic inc
briates instead of doing their drinking in
a saloon out of sight and concealed from
the street, take their bottles to the street
and drink it there or in some place where
people are passing by. The town pump
and alcohol make a combination that is
hard to excel in toughness.
