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. Paul Pioneer Press.

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.
