thrifty apple and pear trees, was greatly ad-
mired, as was also flock of fine wethers.
A question with regard to the supposed
damage done by the late heavy rains to the
corn crop not yet housed brought out the in.
formation that all those present had noticed
a strong tendency to mold in both grain and
fodder Alter pleasant and profitable in

served, and the company adjourned to meet

An Eagle That Was I'm the Revolution

An Eagle That Was I'm the Revolution.
Fiom the Buffalo Express.
Eagles are not SO scarce as is generally
believed. 1t is said that there are hun
dreds of the great birds in the highlands
near West Point; but though the matter
of Hundreds" may be doubted. there are
many.
Among these is one old fellow that lives
on Turks Head above Garrison. He dates
from revolutionary days, and still bears a
scar made by a British bullet. His habit
of flying sideways and the peculiar droop
of his right wing make him an easily
recognized object.
This droop was caused by the shot of a
British soldier, who. while passing up the
Hudson on man-of war, was ordered by
his captain to shoot the eagle as II scared
quite distance aloft.
The soldiers craftsmanship was good
but 1t cost him his life. A band Of patriots
hidden In the rocks saw the deed, and as
the ship lay well toward the shore their
volley killed the sharpshooters. The wound
ed eagle was cared for by the patriots.

London Lancet. He had formerly been

the only instance in which Siberian

THE WRONG HOUSE.
but n Man In the Same Condition was
Evidently Expected.


The member of congress from-l
won't say where, says a writer in the
Washington Post--is the kindest-
hearted fellow alive. He was going
home very late few nights ago, he
says, when he met q young man whom
he knows. The young man was hope
lessly drunk. The congressman hap
pened to know where he lived, and
kindly guided him home. A light was
burning in an upper window of the
house, and the congressman had no
sooner pulled the bell than the door
was flung open and tall and vigor-
Gus woman appeared. She said not a
word. but she grabbed the intoxicated
young man by the collar and gave him
a shaking that fairly loosened his teeth
in their sockets. Into the hall she
shook him and slammed the door. The
congressman was descending the steps
when the door opened again and his
friend flew out as if flung from cata-
pult. He landed at the foot of the
stairs and the congressman picked him
up. He was very much frightened and
he was almost sober He managed to
gasp out:
I'VE don't live here. We've moved
last week"
That's all the congressman's story,
but l think the really interesting thing
would be TO know what happened to
the man who does live there.

rhe Door Bell I'm Massachusetts,.

The story is going the rounds now of
young man who visited the Tapley
school one day to see a teacher. He
got hold of the fire alarm, thinking it
TO be a door bell, and gave it good
ring. In a few seconds the school chill
dren came rushing by him. and it was
not many seconds before the building
was being rapidly emptied. The man
stood by in dazed fbrt of way and
watched them go by and could not i'm
agine what all the fuss was about.
