FOX CLIMBED A TREE

Astonishing Performance of a Sup
 posed Coon, Near South Canaan.
 Frank Passini and his hired man, in South Canaan, went out into the woods coon hunting a few nights ago, attend ed by a we'll trained and intelligent coon dog. They had been in the woods but a short time when they heard the dog signalling that he had treed his game On approaching the spot where the dog was on guard, they could plainly see the outline of the coon in the branches of the tree, and by methods well known to coon hunters they dislodged the animal, which fell to the ground, when, to the amazement of the hunters, it proved to be fine grey fox. They captured it alive and took it home. The occurrence was so unusual that neighbors and other hunters were disinclined to believe the fox actually climbed the tree, but the captors, whose veracity is unimpeacha. ble, maintain that such was the case with this particular fox, at least; and since the catch certain experienced woodsmen remember to have heard that certain breeds of foxes will climb trees when closely pursued.
 The incident is not after all, so re- markable as that of the rabbit, related by a nameless Nimrod. The rabbit, said Nimrod, being closely pursued by a dog, escaped destruction only by climb ing tall tree and taking refuge in the topmost branches.
 "Impossiblel" said the skeptical listen CT. Rabbits don't climb trees"
 "I know they don't' admitted the un- abashed narrator, "but this one had to. |"

Pheasants in the Garden.

Looking from rear window in his house, last Friday morning, Rev. E. C. Gillette was surprised to see a pheasant in his garden. He watched the bird as it strutted about, and while he was won dering how the bird came to be there. he was astonished again to see another pheasant emerge from behind clump of vegetation and join the first one. The pair made themselves at home in the garden for some time, but an hour or so later they had disappeared. MT, Gillette thinks they must have wandered from their accustomed haunts in some remote woods, in the night, and return cd at their leisure the next day, The circumstance shows, however, that al- though they are rarely seen nowadays there are still some pheasants left in this region.

They do say men in this county are pulling out their hair by the roots, in order to make themselves eligible for membership in this Club.
