Gil to be held in Baltimore about the 18th
instant. for the purpose of deciding what is
to be the future of the First Congrega-
tional Church, Baltimore, which has long
been without pastor
This church which is located in one 81
the most select residential sections of Bal
timore, has been in sore financial straits.
Not far away from the First Cougrega-
tional editice is located the Associate Re-
formed Church. which. like the other has
suffered loss in membership and receipts
for several years, and last fall a PROPOSE
ton was made by officers Of both organiza-
tons that consolidation of the two be
made.
The First Congregational people declined
to accede to this, but as there seems to be
but little prospect for the body to exist un-
less aid can be secured from outside, it has
been deemed best to have representa- tive
ministers and laymen of the denomination
to meet at an early day and discuss the
entire situation.

Swimming Cats.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat

FROM the New Orleans Times Democrat.
II read a description the other day of the
retrieving cat owned by a sportsman on
Metairie Ridge" said a planter from the
south coast, and while the case was GER
tainly remarkable, 1t is completely eclipsed.
in my opinion, by a family of swimming
cats owned by Capt. Bosco of Tarpon
Island. Capt. Bosco is well known in New
Orleans. where he occasionally comes to do
some trading, ard is immensely popular
with the crowd that goes down to the
Tarpon Club for periodical outings. He is
the kingpin fisherman Of Bay Adams, and
as quaint and original character as you
could find on the whole coast.
His swimming cats, about which start
ed to tell you, belong to feline tribe that
has lived at the captains place from time
out of mind. There are at present perhaps
a dozen all told. and they have apparently
lost every vestise of the natural antipathy
of their species for water. They will wade
urhesitatingly through the shadows on the
Leach. hunting for small fish, and three or
four will actually swim out to nearby lug
gers to get oysters. Like all cats, they are
very fond of that kind Of food, and when
the captains lugger comes in from visit
to the beds several of them are certain to
Jump off the landing and swim to where it
lies at anchor. 1t Is very strange to see
them come scrambling on board, meWing
and shaking themselves and seemingly as
indifferent to the wetting as so many setter
puppies.
How they developed such an extraordi-
nary trait don't pretend to say, but it has
probably been q matter Of gradual evoIu-
ton. Capt. Bosco don't remember when his
cats began to go into the water, but 1t was
many years ago, and with each generation
the natural aversion must have become
me If they developed web feet in the course
of time"
