there were hogs enough TO go around and
there was no improvement in prices. On

ing the ability of the railroads TO accom-

account therefore was limited. Local
packers bought moderately, and although
trading was prolonged till later hour

Very little change was apparent in the
sheep market. The supply WAS about the
same as for yesterday and so was the de-
mand and the range of values Local

The corn market was firm after an early
spell OF weakness in sympathy with the
decrease in wheat. 1t was influenced also
at the opening by the most favorable re-
ports regarding the growing plant every

ate quantity in sight The trading was
light and largely against privileges. July

The Destructive Jackdaw.

In gentleman's park in the county
of Durham, says an English writer,
number of pheasants are reared every
year. The keeper, on going to feed
them, was surprised to find the bodies
of four of the young pheasants lying on
the grass outside~of the coops without
heads. He made careful search for YER
min, such as rats or weazels, but with
out effect. He left the dead pheasants
for awhile and on his return found a
considerable number more disposed OF
in the same way. He was quite puzzled
and resolved to seek assistance. Fully
20 young ones were disposed of, all in
the same way. After watching a con-
siderable time a pair of jaclldaws made
their appearance and were not long III
commencing their raid on the young
ones again. They quietly dragged them
out from below the hens and pulled
their heads off and carried them to a
clump of trees, where they had their
nest with young ones, and fed them with
the heads. AS soon as the keeper was
tatisfed that the jackdaws were the de-
linquents he shot them.

An Old Shoe an Unsafe Safe.

valued in all at $500, was given away,
with its mate, to poorly dressed young
man few days ago, and now the Ger
mantown police are looking for the
man, the shoe and its contents. Mrs.
Walter Leonard of Germantown was
called to the door by tramp, who ask
ed for pair of old shoes or some dis
carded mems clothing. She told the
man to return later, when her husband
would be home. The visitor called at
the time set, and Mr.. Leonard went to

and found the shoe had disappeared.
Her husband started in pursuit of the

For repeating to General Butler, then
in command of the Army of the James,
disparaging remark made by subor-
dinate concerning the generals military
efficiency an officer i'll Pennsylvania
regiment was promised sound thrash
ing by the officer whom he had reported,
and who, in consequence, had suffered
a bad quarter of an hour in the gen
erals society. The thrashing was to be
bestowed after the war was over, at
their very first meeting, no matter I'M
der what circumstances it might occur.
The. two officers became prominent
civilians in adjoining states. For many
years one of them went around armed
with a revolver, the other with blank
bail bond. Though often i'll this city
where one of them resideO at the same
time, they never met until last Saturday,
and then they encountered each other
face to face in the surf at Atlantic City.
Each had grown so stout as to weigh
over $50 pounds, yet they instantly rec
ognized each other Something ludl-
crous in the thought of such vast spheres
of flesh engaged in rough and tumble
fight may have entered their minds at
the same moment, for they called each
other by name, smiled and shook hands
The feud was thus terninated.-Phlla-
