There Is a boy in fancy County,
No. who has a record which perhaps
few. If any, old hunters can match.
He killed a deer with a marble True,
the marble was shot from gun, but
still the occurrence may be ranked
among the most unusual of hunting
events. The lad was out in the woods
shooting, and had exhausted his supply
of shot. he had put into his muzzie-
loader, a single-b barrel gun OF the old
pattern, charge of powder, when he
discovered that his shot pouch
was empty. The boy had In his pocket
2 marble which he use as ''taw" IN
playing the common game. The mar
BILE exactly fitted the muZzle Of his
gun, and, hardly thinking what might
result from the experiment, the young
hunter dropped the ''taw" down on
the wadding covering the powder.
Strange things happen down in the
Bull Greek hills, and on his way home
the boy came upon q deer, which az
close range stopped and challenged
mis- aim. The adventurous scion of
good hunting stock leveled his gun,
pulled the trigger, and brought down
the game, the marble boring hole III.

which Mr.. Davitt put with a view of
eiiciting whether there have been any
negotiations for an alliance between
Great Britain and the United States,
or whether Great Britain had offered
to mediate in the Cuban crisis, Mr..
CurZon said these questions were of
such a nature that it was inexpedient
to reply to them.
Mr. Curzon replied that Mr.. Davitt's
questions were inopportune, which was
received with loud cries of hear, hear
