THE LIGHTS ON THE RIVER.

This day began very warm, so skirt
ed along the shady side of the river
during the forenoon, but owing to the
searching rays Of the sun as 1t reached
the meridian was forced to seek for q
cooling shade in the forest. 1t was af-
ter three o'clock in the afternoon when
| started again. Just at sunset of this
day / entered the Paraguay river from
the Cuyaba and at dark was surprised
to see as turned bend Of the river a
row of fifty or more lights that sug-
gested to me that they werethe lights
on board Of steamer coming up
stream. My first thought was that un-
less could run into some nook for safe
ty along the shore. steamer as large
as that must be to carry so many lights
would kick UP such swash and rolling
waves as to sink my canoe Instantly.
Thinking there was no time to lose, 1

thought, favored me, for at the place I
landed there was small narrow
stream that allowed of the passage in
my loaded dugout There I sat for a

hand; but neither hearing nor seeing
the craft, l ventured to push out into
the stream again, and soon found how
badly one could be fooled even in this
far-off wilderness. What had seemed
to be steamboats, lights proved to be
nothing more nor less than a flock Of
birds resting upon some tail swamp
wllows-birds that have power Of pro-
ducing bright illumination. 1t is said
that these birds feed exclusively on the
fire-fies so numerous in that region. I
had often been told of such Species
but these We're the first had ever seen.
Upon my approaching them closely
they took flight and the lights van
ished. Forest and Stream.

New Haven Resident Robbed at Bridge
port.
1t is thought by the police of this city
that an organized band of thieves and
pickpockets have undoubtedly been ply
ing their trade between the two cities
during the last few days.
When Edward Smith of So Grove
street this city, placed his wife aboard
train for this city at Bridgeport Sat
urday evening, he had occasion to use
some money, but discovered that his
purse, containing quite a sum of money
and several valuable papers was gone.
He assisted his wife from the train and
hurried back to the depot, but the
crowds We're dense and he could do
nothing He reported his loss to the
police.
On the same night Mr. Baldwin of
Milford boarded a trolley car on STRAIT
ford avenue for his home. As soon as
he was seated he felt for his purse, but
it was gone. He jumped from the car
and made fruitless search about the
crowds that were congregated there.
His wallet contained S95 in money. The
authorities We're notified yesterday, but
the chances are largely against the own
er recovering his coin.

OFT ON BONDS.

Under $1,000 bonds, Mrs Annie Rey-
nolds Of MontoWese is under the sur
veillance of the law until the next term
of the superior court shall determine
what disposition OF her case is to be
made. Bonds in the case were fur
nished by Frederick Reiser the Edge
wood avenue grocer. The charge which
Mrs. Reynolds will have to answer to
is a most unusual one in the extent of
her doings. 1t is estimated that the
damage which she inflicted on dishes,
furniture and building is about $4,000
In addition to the demolition Of the
above mentioned property she cut down
fifteen peach trees, all laden with fruit.
and cut down ten pear trees and the
large grape vine. The fight was caused
by Mr.. Reynolds accusing his wife of
receiving gentlemen callers in his alb
Sence.

self up and rubbed his right side, the
side on which he landed. He went into
Mr.. Johnson's house and DR.. Lambert
