and was hanging on for all he was
worth. AS soon as the doe tried 10 run
in any direction except toward the CHI,
the old she eagle would come in ana
head her off by pecking her eyes, thus
compelling the doe to run in the otper
direction. This game was kept up Tor
quarter of an hour or longer, ana
though I could not see all that was go
ing on, am convinced that the female
eagle at last blinded the doe, for after
running about without any purpose for
few minutes she headed for the ledge
and ran right off over the edge of the
cliff, which is more than three hundred
feet high at that place. On the way
down the male eagle unlocked his
claws ana lit the doe complete the
journey alone. Next day when I went
to the side of the mountain found the
eagles gorging themselves upon vension
from fat doe that had both Of her
eyes picked out, and I am willing to bet
my rifle against plug of tobacco that
it was the same doe which 1 saw driven
over the big precipice.
'In all the pictures that are printed
of eagles, the birds are drawn holding
rabbits in their claws, which seems
very funny to us who live up here in
the woods and who know that no rabbit
ever comes out in the daytime when
eagles are abroad, for an eagle is as
blind at night as a hen is, and goes to
roost before it is dark. If eagles cam
not get any rabbits to eat they make
up for the lack by catching every
hedgehog, they can find. 1t is very
funny how hedgehog which is afraid
Of no beast that walks on feet or hoofs,
will run for the woods as soon as he has
a suspicion that an eagle is abroad. The
way the eagle does the job is interest
ing. too. Finding a hedgehog browsing
among the clover Of the meadows, he
swoops down upon the animal and,
digging his talons into the nose of the
beast, snatches it aloft in the air before
any defence can be made. Once re-
moved from the ground the poor hedge
hog has no defence for hanging as it
does by the snout from the eagles
claws, it cannot reach up to strike with
it's armed tail, so it just wriggles about
and gnashes it's teeth while the bird
sails higher and higher until they come
over an exposed ledge. when the eagle
lets go and the hedgehog drops to the
hard rock and is killed. Then the
eagle turns his prey over on its back,
and attacking the underside, which is
free from spines, has hearty meal up
on flesh that no other bird or beast OF
prey has the courage to take"

Michael Riley of Bath, was before
the court, yesterday morning, = to
answer for the disturbance he caused
at the factory boarding house, Mon
day noon. Mr.. Riley was much
grieved at being brought into court,
and as he sought to vindicate himself
before the judge, the tears coursed
down his cheeks and lost themselves
in the wrinkles about his mouth He
said that he was employed at the iron
works, and had been led astray by an
old soldier, who set 'em up for him and
then induced him to come to Augusta.
1t was pitiful tale of misplaced con-
fdence, and the court, not wishing to
punish such penitent victim to the
sacrificial altar, set him free with the
admonition to get out of town as fast
as his legs would carry him, or faster
and he started at once.

SOME THOUGHTFUL SUICIDES.
RemarlxabIe Forethoughf of . Num- Der of Unforfunates on the Eve
 of killing Tlsems elves.

 With similar forethought provin- cial bank manager on his deathbed was said lately to have dictated a tele- gram to headquarters saying: Great ly regret to inform you that died this morning of pneumonia.-(S (Signed) pp. Thomas Brown" An Irishman once confessed that he had contemplated suicide by hanging himself on will low tree overhanging river, near his potato patch, but had given up the idea from fear lest the cord should break and he should be drowned.
