The account in TIE BEE of the terrible yell of the wild cat that frightened ''HimaIaya" Sherman has brought out many enquiries of your correspondent, ''Was it true:" Well, we say with the New York Sun, If you see it in The Sun, it's so!" If in THE BEE Its SO. But the most thrilling statement of reg ular scare Tas told the by William Shep- ard He said Il was late at B0tsfOrd one night several years ego and fortu- nately found Cicero Beardsley, late also. We had gotton about half way to Gray's Plain when there came the most unearth- Iy yell ever heard. Cicero said, That's a wild cat" He was then upon Leb' a half mile eff. In two minutes he was within four rods of us and, it being ex- tremeIy dark we could not see him. We stopped, he stopped; but he did not stop his screaming. We had not d weapon and expected every moment he would be upon us. Our hair stood up on end, our blood was frozen, We could scarcely walk, yet he kept right at our sides for half a
 illlt, LuGI LC CJJS@tQ dlIGAQ u Us DuA stllI kept up that terrific yell until his beasJly screams were heard last by Us CD the high mountain, High Rock. You may believe we were glad to lose the frightful screams of that beast, We shall never forget that night. He was heard by some of our neighb0rs :" Al0nz0 Sher- man, who lived in Gray's Plain, once called us out after an evening visit with much talk about snakes and wild ani- mals and said, "Here's a wild cat yelling now" He was near 'Wigwam meadow" and he made as much terrible noise as the Goth's and vandals did in pouring down upon "Old Rome!' Buta fox when at his best is, perhaps, not what we ex- pect from the Hast Trump but we had rather hear at any time Sweet Marie, ' or 'Stabat Mater" The last would best suit o. o. W.-IG. W. B.

HOW MR AUGUR WON A WAGER.
COULD "sLING TYPE WITH THE BEST OF
 THEM.

It is not perhaps generally known that
 the genial and popular market proprietor
 of the Hook, Minott Augur, is printer
 by trade, and years ago could "sling
 type" with the best of 'em. A dozen
 years ago, perhaps, while calling at THE
 BEE office, he stood watching the prin- ters set type. His friend, Bennett Black
 man, then proprietor of the market in the
 Street, stood by,aIso watching the work
 MT Augur turned to Mir Blackman and
 said That looks easy. 1 believe I could
 do that" MT Blackman made him a
 friendly wager that he could not, where
 upon Mr .Augur took up a printers
 "stick,' went to a case and slowly but surely set up stick full of type. Mir
 Blackman would not believe at first that he had done the work, but proof was taken and he was convinced. Mir Augur
 began his apprenticeship to the printing
 trade on The New Haven Register in
 l844. He was then 15 years old. HeI worked some five or six years here and then went back home to Woodbridge toI work on tLe farm, as he was not enjoying the best of health. During the war he came back into the city and worked onI The Journal and Courier. They were short of men, and he was a handy man on the paper, doing some reporting and other work. He also worked for a time at HamiIton's College Printing EsCab- lishment, and mastered the difficult art of book work. In 1850 he became 8 newspaper proprietor himself, f,publishiDg The Fairfield County Republican at NOt- walk, under the firm name of Smith & Augur. Mir Augur has always taken a 1 kindly interest in the Icc4l paper, THEI BEE, and has been glad to render assis- -ance to the publishers whenever he could.

EORATI0 '. LAKES WILL.

As predicted by THE BEE there is to be a contest over the will of Horatio \. Lake, who died at the home of his sister, Mrs Samuel B. Camp, January 13, leav- ing an estate of about SI6,O00 and a will disposing of all but 5000 of it by creat- ing fund of it and making Trinity col lege of Hartford, Ct., trustee of the fund, the income of the property to be spent by the trustees of the college for the edu- cation of poor young men for the Pro- testant Episcopal ministry. As will be seen about Sl5, 400 of a Sl6.00O estate goes to strangers to the blood, which it is claimed is against the will being sus- tained. The contest will be upon the ground that MT Lake was mentally un' sound. Beecher $ Garfield have been retained by the heirs, Stoddard, Good hart 65 Graves of New Haven for Trinity college and Huntington & Warner oi Woodbury for the executor.

A. (. BAKERS AD

Did you yer see such stupidity and Rip
 Van WinkIe" negligence! We just picked up late issue of this paper and find that A, G, Baker is still talking about holiday goods" Goodness gracious haven't we changed our ad since them How time flies, why we would almost rather be caught late at our own funeral than be guilty of squan,
 deUing money printer for advertising unreasonable goods, yet how in the name Of George Washington and common sense is a Free-born American citizen and a statesman, and 8 Patriot, and 8 "Gentleman and scholar" expected to look after all these lit tie things, and heep the Hindlings split fine, and the wood pile out of the hands ot a re- ceiver and authentic record of the ebb and flow of his cash account. The snow off the front walk and path shOveled from the hired girl to the clothes line. The ashes sifted and and the office cat cOmbed and jed, and keep reasonably near the head of the Bible class, while the affairs Of the world are in such chaotic unsettled state. Every civilized na- uon upon earth walking about with a chip on both shoulders and our own coun- try's flag liable to be fired upon at any moment. The air just filled with wars and rumors of wars and fellow liable to be called upon to leave the plough in the through and his dress suit at the pawnOrOkers, and shoulder his pruning hook and fly to his country's rescue at the boom of the first gun, and then there are the Ar menian Atrocities and the Cuban insurrec
 uon and the perpleXities of the TransVaal and Lord Dunraven's charges and the bond issue, and the silver question, and the bread and butter question in his own family. All of which subjects call for deep thought. No sir, say he just can't do it. If he grasps all these with an earnest and patriotic resolve he is bound to neglect either the office cat, his ad, or his religious duties. Now please take notice that we are not booming holiday goods any longer, but we have an enormous stock of goods on hand and coming in tor the spring trade. Our additional show rooms en- ables us to display such an assortment ot furniture as was never before exhibited any where in this vicinity. We bought heavily in floor mattings last tall before the advance in prices. They are now beginning to arrive and we can show you over 50 different pat terms in the best and prettiest cotton warp mattiugs you ever saw, and at prices away below what you can get the same thing for in NY We carry carpets in stock now and can give you good values and good assort, ment to select from. It is useless to enumer- ] ate any articles of furniture for we have got every thing. A fine line of Children's Carri- l ages will be in and placed on our floors in a l few days Now situated as we are we can | certainly handle goods on much smaller
 expense than they can be handled in the
 city. We have a stock that has been selected
 with great care, and we want you to see it be- | fore you buy. That's all we ask.

A drowning man would have little use for method of rescue which would re- quire days. 4 dyspeptic doesn't want to bother with a remedy that is going to take weeks to show it's beneficial effects. The Mount Lebanon Shakers are offering a product under the name of Shaker di- gestive cordial which yields immediate relief. The very first dose proves bene- ficial in most cases; and it is owing to their unbounded confidence in it that they have put 10 cent sample bottles on the market. These can be had through any druggist; and it will repay the aF- fllcted to invest the tri1ing sum neees- sary to make trial. The Shaker diges- tive cordial relieves by resting the stom- ach and aiding the digestion of food. Laxol is the best medicine for children. Doctors recommend it in place of castor oil.

YANKEE ENTERPRISE.
AMERICAN GOODS FOR SIBERIA.

A reporter of this paper, having
 heard indirectly that Marcus c. Hawley,
 president of aawley Brothers Hardware Co.,, of San Francisco were engaged in an outside venture of considerable magnf- tude, interviewed the gentleman 8 few days ago fol the purpose of giving the facts to this report. MT Hawley at first declined to say but little about it, but up- on being told that it had become general news gave us the following facts. That for several years they had been engaged in supplying the Russian government more or less general merchandise but within the past two years it has increased largely till this year they will send three large vessels to Eastern Siberia. On Sat- urday last they dispatched one of the largest American clipper ships now in service, the ship W. J. Rotch, with 2600 tons cargo. The commercial value of the cargo was as follows:
 Agricultural implements pgs, sI45 Arms and ammunition IS pgs 5s0 Bread 33s5 lbs, 70 Canned goods, s cs, 6s Canned meats, 50 cs, I45 Flour 2,251 bbls, 5000 Cordage D pgs, 50 Hardware 3H pgs, 3572 Canned fruit IA cs 405 Dried tIuit 2450 pounds, I49 Lumber Is 900 feet, 200 Beef, 9G00J0 pounds, 46L5o Salt 9040 sks, 2362
 Total, S38,338
 All of these goods were paid for in American gold before vessel sailed. This is the largest shipment ever made of beef and flour in one vessel to that coast. The enterprise was of such a magnitude and so important to the interests of Califor- nia that the daily papers of San Francis co, illustrated same by a large cut of the vessel as she appeared loading at the wharf. Hawley Brothers loaded the vessel entirely themselves.
