The Wolves Just Laughed.

Sitting in Thede Wyman's store, a little group of villagers in Sebec, Me, talked of wolves, now seldom seen in Maine, but which half a century ago were much in evidence. William Lyford told the story of Seth Browns chase of two wolves on snowshoes.
 "You know Seth" he said. "One of the smartest and handiest men in his day that ever cut timber trees or drove the Penobscot. Up in the Ripogenus re- zion one February he was out prospect ing for timber tracts. The snow was deep, with light crust, just strong enough to hold up man on snowshoes. Coming upon a little rise of land in a timber swamp one day, he saw two wolves little way ahead of him. The crust would not bear them, and they could only wallow along in the snow. Seth would tackle anything that ever ranged the woods He had no gun, but he set out after the wolves with his ax. What did those wolves do but circle round until they got back upon Seth's tracks. You know how in light snow the steps of man in snowshoes will pack down the snow. Once the wolves got to Seth's tracks the slotes (snowshoe prints) held them up, and tn A just ran on them in circle till he gave up the chase. He was so near that be could al- most have thrown his ax to them, and he couldn't get a step nearer. Seth said the wolves sat on their launches and laughed at him when he had to give up and start along. "-New York Sun.

1t Might Have Been.

It seems from the following item con- tributed to the Lakeville Journal by it's Lime Rock correspondent that it was only on the second chance that Canaan was placed on the route of the Housa- tonic railroad.
 Unole James Pierce says: "I can TO- member seeing the survey stakes that indicated the first route for the Housa- tonic railroad. They stood along the east side of the mill pond crossed up there by Hen. Hull's. near the furnace, and so on toward Salisbury. That was nearly 60 years ago. The railroad peo- pie wanted the town of Salisbury to help them some, but it wouldn't, so the railroaders swung off up through Ca naan. I was always mad over that and am mad yet" According to Uncle's statement. Lime Rock came near having e railroad at one time, and would, if the town fathers had not been so conserva- tive.

A Newspaper Fooled.

The Hartford Times has been 'stuff ed." A dispatch from Canaan dated Jan. 2 (this week. says that murder mystery has just been cleared up. In substance the dispatch says that several months ago Salmon Barlow of Canaan unearthed two skeletons on his land and that people who viewed the bones de- clared them to be "Big Mike" Houli han and his nephew Pat Ryan. It fur ther states that last Saturday letter was received from Anthony Slattery from San Jose, Cal. in which Slatrery saws he saw "Big Mike" killed by Fatty" Moulihan and that he wrote the letter because he had seen an &C., count of the finding of the skeletons in newspaper.
 As matter of fact Mir Barlow blow cd up the skeletons on June 3, 1895 and shortly afterward sensational &C., count of the affair and the Big Mike" murder theory was published in the Hartford Courant. The account was copied in the Litchfeld County Leader of June 27 or 2S, 1895, and copy of the Leader reached Antonio Slattery in San Jose few days afterward and he wrote his letter to the Leader and it was published in that paper in July of 1895 in which he told the story that the Times dispatch of last Monday gives to the public as recently received.
 Slattery's story has never been cred tied here as some points in it don't agree with the departure of Big Mike from this place.
 E The New York World got stuffed with the same story.
