DEE2t IN SNOW PITS.
Imprisoned in Corrals of Their Own
Making —Easily Tamed.
From a gentleman recently down from
the mountains the Appeal learns of the
strange wild experiences of various sorts of
animals last winter: ‘‘Deer, when
caught in a blinding snow-storm, huddle
together and tramp round and round in
a circle, beating down the soft snow, so
that when a very heavy fall occurs during
say twelve hours, they find them¬
selves iu a snow pen, with walls above
them, and if they commence to tramp
on top of several feet of snow during a
storm, they often find themselves in a
corral of snow, with a wall surrounding
them to a height of ten or twelve virtually feet
when the storm clears off, being
imprisoned in a snowy prison pen, from
which escape is impossible until the
spring thaw of the season.
“There lives an old miner on Canon
Creek, in Sierra County, several miles
above Braudy City, who was taking a
stroll near his cabin last winter after one
of the heavy snows, when he came across
one of these deer pens in the snow, and
there imprisoned were seventeen deer of
various sizes. They were iu a circular
pen of snow, with walls fifteen feet high.
Upon the man’s appearance the deer be¬
came quite excited, ami huddled together
and dodged frem one side ef tho pen to
the other. However, as hunger came and
upon them they became more docile,
the frequent visits of the miner, with
boughs and buds from adjoining trees, food,
which he threw into the pen as
caused the deer to become regular their pets,
and to watch for the visits of pro¬
tector. After awhile the man placed a
ladder in the pit, and spent a great deal
of time in handling his pets. Occasion¬
ally he w r ould take one out for food, as
meat became scarce, and in this way
used up several of the deer, but he has
most of the deer yet in a state of domes¬
tication. It is said he has a deer ranch
in his mountain home, much after the
fashion of a cattle ranch on a small
scale.”
The Appeal is also a
similar band of deer was found in one of
those deadly snow pits near Washington,
Nevada County, and was likewise res¬
cued. The streets of Downieville were
enlivened last winter by the appearance
of deer which were driven from the
mountains down to the river towns by
starvation, and domesticated by kindness
and food. As the snow has been disap¬
pearing many carcasses of deer have been
found where they have perished heavy in and the
deadly snow corral, The
sudden snows of the past winter have
caused fearful mortality among the deer
which did not escape to the lower
altitude.—Marysville (Cal.) Appeal.
Paper Money to Balance Gold.
Do you know how many $1 bills it
takes to weigh as much as a $20 gold
piece? Driving out to White Bear
recently one of those walking compen- the
diums of useful information sprang
above query, and the opinions that it
elicited show a remarkable range. One
member of the party, whose business is to
handle money in large sums, after pro¬
found thought, suggested that the mun-
her would be from 1.000 to 1,200. Others
guessed down the line to oOO, but no one
Fess than that number. After all had
placed themselves on record, the com¬
pendium stated that the number was
thirtv or thirty-one. according to their
condition as to dirtiness and age.—[St.

FACTS FOR THE SICK!
A Letter from an Eminent Di¬
vine in Regard to the Best
Medicine in the World.

Wonderful Cures.
Atlanta, Ga., January 2, 1890.
Six months ago, at the request of a
friend who was interested in the sale of
King's Royal Germetuer, I made a writ¬
ten statement of the benefits I had re¬
ceived from the use of that medicine. In
that statement I expressed the belief that
it would cure me entirely of catarrh.
Within the last two months I have re¬
ceived letters from every quarter of 1 he
nation calling on me for further informa¬
tion iu regard to my health. It has been
impossible for me to made write privately to
each person who has this request,
aud I am therefore under the necessity ct
making another public statement.
I am free from catarrh. I believe that
I could get a certificate to this (fleet from
any competent medicine physician. the I have used
no within last six months
health except is King's Royal Germetuer. My
better than it has been in thirty
years. I am in possession of information
which warrants me in saying that the re¬
lief which 1 have experienced from the
use of the medicine is not more certain
and radical than that which it has
brought to hundreds o; persons in Geor¬
gia aud other States.
I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that
the effects of this remedy upon my wife
have been even more signal and wonder¬
ful. She has been almost a life-long in¬
valid from Nervous Headache. Neuralgia
aud Rheumatism. In a period of thirty
years she has scarcely had a day’s exemp¬
tion from pain. She has been using Ger-
rneteur about two months. A more com¬
plete transformation I have never wit¬
nessed. Every symptom of disease has
disappeared. She and appears is happy to be aud twenty play¬
years younger, child. as
ful as a healthy We have persua¬
ded many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of them is
that it is a great remedy.
