ON THE BRITISH COAST.

Vessels In Dauger-one Bark Suffers Great
Damage.
LONDON, Dec. 3O.-severe weather has
prevailed throughout Great Britain
since Saturday. the heavy gale being
accompanied by hail and snow, render
ing navigation along the coasts both
difficult and dangerous. All vessels
that could do so, made for havens OF
shelter. Some OF them, however, did
not succeed in reaching port but
wrecked whom almost in sight OF safety.
This was the case Of the British bark
Osseo, Captain Boggs. which sailed
from Taltal. August Is, for Adrossan.
She made the long voyage safely until
this morning when she was wrecked on
the Holyhead breakwater and every
soul on board of her. twenty.four in
all, were drowned. The osseo was
caught in gale in the Irish Sea and
Captain Boggs evidently thought that
he would run into Holyhead and wait
for the storm to abate.
How the accident occurred is not ex.
actly known, but it is surmised that an
extraordinarily high sea lifted her
when she was quite close to the break
water and dashed her upon it, She
struck amidships and Immediately be-
gan to break up, the sea pounding at
her furiously the moment she became
stationary,

lie Tried Hard Not to Accept.
MUNcIE, IND, Dec. 30.-Hiram Tewks-
bury, farmer east OF Montpelier. seems
to havc gotten rich in spite Of himself.
When the Petty Bros, representing
the Standard Oil Company, were near
Montpelier leasing oil territory, NJ.
Tewksbury, being very well known,
was secured by them to assist in leasing
farms. Tho Howard farm, OF 100 acres,
was for sale, but they would not lease
il. The Pettys prevailed upon Mr..
Tewksbury to buy it, telling him that
they would take it of his hands, pre-.
sumably at fair advance over the
price, so per acre.
He bargained for tho land, but the
Pottys could not raise tho money, or at
least did not, and hO made an effort to
prevent taking IL, as he already owned
more land than he wanted ut this
time. Tho Howard heirs insisted,
brought suit for tho fulflIment OF con.
tract, and won the case, To-day the
farm 80 forced upon him yields reve.
nue OF over 500 per day from tho great
amount OF oil it 10 producing. AS re-.
suit, the old gentleman has already got
the money back he paid Tor tho land,
and the oil still flows rs strong Us ever.
Tewksbury promises to soon be the
richest man in Eastern Indiana, as q
result of having something forced upon
him which he did not want.

CATCHING FOXES.
How Portland Man Sets His Traps.


A Portland man recently returned from a
hunting and trapping trip in Oxford county.
He has caught mink and muskrats and one
skunk. He also set traps for foxes and has
some set now. He expects to deceive shy
Renard in the following way. The trap is
placed under water near the shore of some
stream or swamp pool, the approach to the
place having been made through the water
with rubber boots. The trap is placed be-
tween some small tussock of grass and the
shore. On this little island is placed new
bait for foxes. 1t is an odoriferous prepare
tion that smells to the human sense more
like rotten cat than anything else. but
nevertheless alls Renard's conception OF
the delicious. just over the trap bunch
of grass is fastened in the water. making a
false tussock.
Attracted by the smell the fox comes to
the edges of the water. He puts paw ON
the false tussock to step over to the real
tussock and down comes the paw into the
trap.
