His Great Luck,

While hunting near Salmon river re.
Gently Sidney Woodland fired Mt and
killed partridge, and OH crossing the
river where tho bird fell he stopped to
pick 1t up when something warm and
OF mucilaginous consistency fell up
OH his head. This he soon found was
honey, and upon examination discovered
that tho bullet from his gun had pcne-
trated bee tree after passing through
tho partridge. He returned to the house
and secured three large tubs and two
milk cans and some pals, all of which
he filled with honey.
While securing the honey he noticed
n peculiar movement of the tree. which
seemed TO expand and subside at inter
walls. Passing to the other side wide
seam was apparent, and he learned that
the tree was hollow. From this he sue
ceeded i'll extracting 80 coons, which
had taken mp winter quarters therein,
the peculiar movement of the tree hav-
ing been caused by tho united breathing
Of the coons.
Nor was this all of his remarkable
adventure. for on attempting to cross
the river the leo gave way, and he was
Obliged TO swim for short distance.
When ho arrived at his home, he had
about 15 speckled trout in his coat peck
cts. and a few had found Judgment in
his boots. -Watertown Standard.
