so early in life was source OF great sor-
row, not only to her own family but hosts
OF sympathiZing friends and neighbors.
She always seemed very quiet and no
fears were ever entertained OF her doing
any injury to herself or from occasional
ly leaving her alone in the house.
On Memorial day Mr.. and Mrs. Cough
lin attended the exercises, leaving Nancy
as housekeeper, with no thought but
what she would be all right alone. When
they returned she was gone and no trace
left to indicate where or why. The alarm
spread all over town like wildtre aud
searching parties started for the dense
forest back OF the house, extending over
hundreds OF acres, called Park Hill. They
worked until darkness compelled them to
stop, renewing the search at daylight.
Probably hundred men were engaged
and the greatest excitement prevailed.
They came from the north, south, east and
west. Farmers left their work, the road

were discovered near the residence OF Mr..
Coughlin in Chateaugay, evidently made
by a woman the night before and indicat-
ing that she had spent the night, or part
OF it, there. Encouraged by this, the
party soon found more in the highway;
later they caught sight Of the poor feeble
woman coming from some bushes into the
road. She was nearly famished with hun :
ger and fatigue, having wandered for so
many hours without food or rest. News
was carried to the village and church
bells pealed out the joyful tidings to the
still searching parties, which soon re-
turned to congratulate the relieved par

sponded to the great anxiety felt.

His Final EseaueHt,

A Scotch farmer, celebrated in his
neighborhood for his immense strength
and skill in athletic exercises, very fre-
quently had the pleasure of contending
with people who came to try their
strength against him Lord D., a great
pugilistic amateur, went from London
on purpose to fight the athletic Scot.
The latter was working in an inclosure
at little distance from his house when
the noble lord arrived His lordship tied
his horse to tree and addressed the
farmer Friend. have heard marvel
ous reports of your skill and have come
long way to see which of US two is
the better wrestler
The ScOtchman, without answering,
seized the nobleman, pitched him over
the hedge and then set about working
again. When Lord d. got up, "Well, -
said the farmer, "have you anything
to say to me?'
"No, " replied his lordship, "but per
haps you'd be good enough to throw me
my horse. Public Opinion.

ANIMALS DISAPPEARING.

Various species of animal life are
constantly disappearing from the
earth. The squirrels and small
birds are falling before civilization,
the wild animals are being crowded
back by civilization; there is pros
pect that the horse will have to fol-
low the wild beasts and that after a
while no animal will be known
among civilized men except such as
can be used for food. Fifty wears
ago the whale catching industry was
one of the great industries of New
England, but the discovery of min
eral oils killed the business. How
ever ship, the first for a dozen
years, sailed from New London.
Conn.,, last June, for cruise in
northern waters for whales. A
letter from the captain, dated in
September, said that up to that time
not catch had been made. Is the
whale disappearing from the sea?

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

Sradstreet's says the talk of the
Pacific cable to connect the United
States with the Philippines is being
revived in Washington. The cable
is to have four links-from San
Francisco to Hawaii, 2110 miles;
from Hawaii to Wake island, 2044;
from Wake island to Guam, 1893
miles, and from Guam to Manila,
1850 miles-a total of 6797 miles.
This line would touch no foreign
territory, and provisions for outlets
to Asia are provided in the scheme
One would connect Manila with the
island of Formosa, from which ca,
BILE is already laid to Japan and the
mainlind of Asia, and another line
is contemplated to connect Hawaii
with Flemlng's island, to connect
with the projected British cable from
Vancouver to New Zealand. With
thoss lines completed, the size of
the Pacific would be vastly decreas-
ed N the estimation of men.
