An otter Story.

A curious instance of animal in
stinct and attachment in an otter
is related by a Cork correspondent
Of the London Field. Some time
ago in that city man caught a
live otter. Bringing the animal
home, after some time he succeeded
in tanning it and trained it to fish.
One day he took it to the river for
swim, and while there it killed
some fish, but succeeded in getting
off the strap to which it was at
tached. After waiting some hours
in a vain endeavor to induce the
animal to leave the water the owner
gave up in despair and returned
home. Late that night, while in
bed, this man heard scratching at
the front door of his cottage, and
to his great surprise when he
opened tie door in walked the OF
ter. which he then secured. The
most remarkable feature of this
story is tne fact that this man
lived abo.,t mile from the river
ard that his cottage was one in a
row..

One Pair of Arms, One Pair of Legs
and Two Men.


The experience of Captain Rob
ert Benham during troubles with
the Indians in Ohio in 1770 is one
of the strangest in the history of
Indian warfare. The author of
ssThe Ohio River" gives a descrip-
ton Of it. "IIaving broken through
the line of Indians during battle,
Benham made his escape, though
wounded by a musket ball in both
legs near the loins. He reached
an immense fallen tree, crawled
under it and lay Still through the
ensuing night and the next day in
bitterest pain.
con tie evening of the second
day he shot a raccoon on tree near
by, hoping by some means to get
and cook it. At the crack Of his
musket the sound Of a human voice
reached him. In a moments time
he reloaded and awaited the In
dams approach, resolved to fight
to the last extremity. The voice
sounded nearer.
sWhocvcr you are were the be-
seeching words, answer me- And
at the words a borderer, shot
through both arms, came into sight.
"'The comrades were unspeakably
pleased each to find the other, for
between them they had pair of
arms and pair of legs, and there
fore some hope of life and escape.
AS best he could, Benham dressed
all the wounds ard then proceeded
to cook some food. All that could
be done with arms and hands Ben
ham did, cooking, loading and firing
the gun.
ellis comrade, having the rims of
a hat placed between his feet by
Benham, waded into the river and
secured. sufficient water for their
needs. He also drove wild turkeys
near enough to Benham to allow
him to bring some down, and then
he kept tossing them with the toe
If his boot toward camp until they
were within Benham's reach. By
the same means he kept MS partner
supplied with wood.
"When the wounds healed and
The men could travel they camped
at the mouth of Licking river in
the hope of being picked up by a
passing flatboat. Near the last of
November a boat was hailed, and,
although it took some time to prove
that they were not such savages as
their appearance indicated, they
were taken on board and carried to
Louisville"
