BEAVER DAM IN NEW JERSEY.
Curious Conflict Retween wild AMI
NAL Life and Agriculture Near
a Great City,

Mr.. Justus Won Lengerke recorded
in our columns two years ago the dis
covery of a colony of beavers in the
wilds Of New Jersey, a region from
which the animal was supposed to have
been exterminated long ago, says For
est and Stream. The precise location
of the colony Mr.. Won Lengerke judi
ciously withheld, for he was apprehen-
sive that the beaver would prove q
temptation to the trappers. But now
the animals have revealed their where
abouts and forced themselves into pub
lie notice By reason of their beaver ma
ture and the activity and enterprise
which it has prompted. They have
built dams and overlooked the ada
cent farm lands, and landowners have
at last become tired of destroying
their work, and are now seeking some
measure of relief. At Mr.. Won Len
gerke's suggestion. the New Jersey leg
islature passed d bill for the protection
of beaver; and the aggrieved farmers
are thereby restrained. Taken alto
gether, this is a very curious conflict
between wild life and agriculture
within two hours of New York city.

CATS LONG JOURNEY.
Covered Four Miles Eight Times to
Get Her Kittens Back to Her
Old Quarters.

"And the cat came back. I believe
that is the name of a song popular
some time ago. but | have evidence of
the fact that there was never a truer
saying" said c. 7. Chichester, of SYRIA
cuse, n. V, to a Washington Star man.
"A friend of mine in Syracuse conducts
a brewery, and a grocer friend pre-
scented him with an old cat and four
kittens that had very recently been
born. The old cat and little ones were
carried to the brewery and securely
locked in. The next morning the cat
and kittens were on the front porch Of
the grocery store waiting to- be let in.
How do you account for that? The
grocery was four miles from the brew
cry. and the kittens were too weak to
walk even a few yards. If the cat car
ried them back in her teeth she must
have done so n at q time, making
eight miles for each kitten and 80 miles
for the entire litter, or else she relayed
them, carrying one a little distance,
then going back after the next. and so
on, until the last one had been deposa
tied in her first stopping place, and so
on in short distances until she reached
the store. You can figure out the dis
lance she travelled in this way"

GIRLS MAKE SCENE.
One Rushes Into Store After the other and
Creates Disturbance. @

About a month ago two young
women of this borough had some
words between them. 1t was said
that it arose from jealousy. Last
Thursday night one went to Mr..
Behne's store and purchased some
cakes. Without any warning the other
girl, accompanied by a friend. rushed
into the store and made a scene,
knocking over a coffee grinder and
scattering the cakes over the floor.
That wasn't enough, it seems, for
the aggressor seized one OF the others
fingers in her mouth and held it be-
tween her teeth. The other caught
her assailant's nose between her thumb
and finger, thinking to make her
loosen the finger and that being use.
less. the pain became SO great that
she screamed.
Mr.. Behne then took q hand in and
stepping from behind the counter
ordered the girl to let go Of the finger.
She did SO and she and her friend left
the store. The girls nose bled freely,
it is said, no doubt due to the pain
and excitement. Her finger was bitten
quite deep IN both sides of the upper
and lower teeth of her assailant. who,
If she could hear the name given her
by those who witnessed the attack,
wo1ld be ashamed. The finger was
very painful and what the result will
be, is not yet determined. 1t was re-
quested that this be- published in the
News as several reputable citizens
advised her to have it done. Parties
were seen last evening who confirm
the statement.
