He Fought a Catamount.

KINGSTON, n. Y, July 26.-Sam
uel Merrill, a young Philadelphia
who is spending part of the sum.
mer in the Catskill Mountains, re,
ports having had desperate battle
with a catamount.
AS he was crossing the noun.
tains near Bataviakill the beast
dropped from the branch of a tree
The suddenness of the attack felled
Merrill, who is a robust young
fellow weighing about 100 pounds.
Over and over man and beast
rolled, the claws of the catamOunt
deeply imbedded in Merrills
clothes and tearing his flesh.
He could not free himself from
the clutch of the beast sufficiently
long to grasp stick or stone, but
he finally managed to get pocket
knife out and plunged it in the
catamount's neck.
The blood which gushed from
the wounded beast nearly blinded
the young man. The fight, how
ever, was practically over, for the
animal was soon in the death
thrOeS.
The catamount weighed about
thirty pounds. Merrill will take
the skin home with him as trophy
of his first visit to the Catskills.

An Exclamation.

For the edl6cation of. the members of the Adelphi club the writer will state that he visited the office of the JOURNAL AND COURIER last evening intending to adjust the differences existing between the Two clubs in an article in this mornings paper, and having bsen shown the foregoing arti- cle written by one of the Adelphi's mem bers, will add right here the substance of his intended article. First, I will state that the Star Baseball club that was, is no more; that is the one that played the Adel- phis under Manager Mix last Saturday has been reorganized. Some of the members of the club, being dissatisfied with the way in which things were going, expressed their views since the recent game in 8 way which was not approved of by the late manager and he has resigned, much to the liking of the remaining members. But three men followed him, and those left think 1t was better so than to play with men who did not try to play ball. A new manager has been elected and the three vacant places will be filled, and when all arrangements are completed the Star baseball club will be glad to play the Adelphis just one more game in order to show them that they know hoy to treat visiting club and play ball too. But the writer almost forgot to say that the Adelphis fairly won last Satur- days game, as all who saw the game know. Long live the Adelphis and the new Stars!

 NEW YORK, July 19.-The stock market today opened at au advance of half to 2k per cent. in sympathy with sharp rise in prices in London. The foreigners sent buying orders, but as soon as these were executed the bears made a fierce raid and assisted by advices of the renewal of the bank troubles in Denver and vague rumors of trouble in St Louis they speedily brought about decline Of to 615 points, the latter in General Electric which touched 5l15. At about this time some of the bears covered freely and a rally en- sued, but still latter there WAS renewed spell of weakness and several stocks broke badly. The the room traders.

FISHERMEN,S YARN.
Duel With a Swordfsh-Both Par
 ties Stabbed.

Duel With a SWOrdfsh-BOth Par
 ties Stabbed.
 SToN1NGToN, July 19.-Swordfsh are unusually plenty off this coast this sum- mer. The fishermen hunt them with har- poons, epesring them from the decks of some small .sail vessels. The fishing smack Mattie and Lena has arrived here after four days trip about Block island with sixteen large swordfsh averaging 300 pounds each, and an exciting story of a struggle for life between Henry Cheese bro, one of the crew, and wounded and maddened swordfsh.
 Cheesebro had harpooned big fish of Montauk Point, and after waiting the usu- al length of time got into small boat to bring the apparently exhausted fish to the vessel. As soon as Cheesebro approach ed him and commenced hauling in the line the fish awoke from his torpor and started in to battle for his life He began Cheesebro's boat on coming to the sur face. Missing his aim the fish dived again for second attack.
 It ws now too late for Cheesebro to re- treat, and defenceless, in the frail cedar yawl, he awaited the onslaught He was kept in suspense but moment. When the fish shot out of the water once more he drove his sword completely through the boat from side to side The sword en tered the boat about three feet from the bow on the port side and came out through the thin plank on the starboard side. Cheesebro had retreated to the stern of the boat in time to avoid the vio- fence of the fierce fish and thus escaped injury.
 His plight was seen from the schooner, and the vessel headed for the scene of the conflict. By constant bailing Cheesebro kept his frail and disabled craft afoat until succor arrived. A blow on the head finally killed the fish, and Cheesebro's peril as sword fisherman was over for this time. The fish weighed 338 pounds

IN DICTATION MUSIC,
New Haven Pupils Were Ahead at the
 WnrIHSa

New Haven Pupils Were Ahead at the
 Worlds Fair.
 Professor Jepson, who has just returned from the worlds fair, reports that the ex- hibit of music written from dictation by the pupils of New Haven's public schools excited special and marked interest for It's excellence and superiority. In fact, in this department New Haven was way ahead. From 1,500 to 2,0OO selections written by New Haven pupils at dictation, being five of the best productions from each room in each school here out of the mass, were sent to the fair. The New Ha- ven exhibit was incomparably superior to many shown.
 Said Professor Jepson: From Kansas some of this music of the pupils was re- corded in photographs and could be liss. ened to. It was quite good, so far as it went, but on the whole rather crude. But, really, music written from dictation is the only kind to exhibit from the schools. am glad to be able to say that in this line speaking of musical exhibits I would say I was much pleased with what heard in the Fiji leland section on the Plaisanoe. After listening to the singing of their na- tive airs. heard them sing sAmeriea" to native words, and 1t was very we'll done, I assure you.
 GAS to the fair, 1t was just wonderful. l attended the centennial, but it did not begin to compare with this exhibit at Chi csgo. The success of this fsir is greatly heightened by the work of electricity and one can hardly estimate the growth that will be obtained by this power in the fifty years to come. visited all the large build ings and the state buildings and saw con siderable of the exposition and was greatly pleased and surprised"
 Professor Jepson is stopping at his cot tage at Stony Greek, but is in the city ire quently experimenting the construction of a house on Howe street for his own occu- pancy.

MARTYRS TO HEADACHES.
The Experience of" Miss Louise Lincoln Tucker, Q Boston
 SalosWOman.

The women who are martyrs to sick headaches are numbered by thousands, and among the victims none suffer more than the employees in stores and shopp, says the Lynn Sunday News.
 Their work Is confining, the hours are long, and the surroundings are often such as to aggravate any tendency to headaches. The experience of one of the best known clerks in Chandler & Co., large store on Winter street, Boston, is worthy the at tention of all who are similarly situated.
 Miss Louise Lincoln Tucker has been employed in this establishment for the past four years, and during that time, as for years before. she has suffered with sick headaches to such an extent as to compel her many times to leave her business and return to her home in West Roxbury.
 So violent have these attacks been that she has often been unable to walk from the store to the depot, and has been compelled to call a carriage.
 This succession of tortures continued until last March, when Miss Fuckers at tsntion was attracted by the story of an- other woman's experiences, published in 8 Boston paper.
 She had spent large amounts of money on physicians. who had been unable to re. Heve her sufferings. She decided to try the merits of the highly extolled Paine'i celery compound.
 She took it without the knowledge of he1 family or friends.
 But the change in her appearance soor attracted the attention of the members o1 her family and her business associates and, thoroughly convinced, she one day told how Paine's celery compound had wrought for her the cure which physicians had been unable to accomplish.
 For the first time in the years of her em ployment she had gone through an entire month without a return of the attacks, and not only q relief but an absolute cure has been effected by the compound.
 So grateful is Miss Tucker for the cure in her case, that she is willing to let all who suffer, as she did, know of the only rem edy she ever found.

ANCIENT SNAKE CATCHERs.

The Time When Bounries Were Paid
 for snakea' Tails and women Fig ured as Their CaptOrs.
 The seasonable snake stories call to mind, says the Norwich Bulletin, that there were days when venomous snakes were commoner than now, and when snake hunting was bounty getting busi- ness, as fox-hunting now is in some places.
 The rocks and glens of old Norwich
 were renowned as haunts for rattlesnakes in particular; Rattlesnake Den and Rattle snake Ridge are still reminders of those fabulous reptiles which grew to the size
 of mans wrist and to the length of three or four feet. "Waweekus Hill"-as they
 called 1t in those days-xas famous for
 theee reptiles; and the story goes that e
 cunning violin player of Eye earlie tyme"
 once went to that hill with his instrument
 and entieed large rattlesnake to follow
 him into the town street, fascinated by
 his music.
 The town early put 8 bounty on thete
 reptiles. In 1720 this bounty was four
 pence per head, and that year seventy-six
 were charged to the town, twenty eight by
 one Moses Woodwork. In 1721 the seasons record was 16O, the
 widow Woodworth claiming premium for twenty-three, and David Knight, jr., for twenty-eight.
 The following year 123 were brought in, Stephen Woodworth claiming bounty for forty eight.
 In 1724 David Wentworth was rewarded for twenty-nine of the sixty-nine killed. By 1728 the returns had dwindled down to forty-eix, and of these nine were credit ed to the widow Smith. Two years later the town voted "That whosoever shall kill 8 rattlesnake within | this township at any time within one year ensuing except in the three summer months | and produce one joint of the bone and its | tail, shall have two shillings for each snake SO killed"
 At this an earnest search for rattlers be- gan, so that in 1731 the number claiming bounty was nearly 300; in 1732. over 1S0; in 1733, 174; in 1734, 63, and in 1735, 54. Evidently things were not strictly &C., cording to Hoyle, for December 15, 1735, ! the town "voted to pay four shillings apiece for rattlesnakes next year. No pay | to ba given unless the snake be shown within twenty-four hours to the selectmen or to two indifferent neighbors." In 1736 nearly e29 were paid in bounty, 112 snakes being presented. The following is memorandum of one | of the selectmen of those shown to him: l May, 17s6. An account of rettIesnake tails brought 70 me, ,1OSEPu PERKINS
