THB WOLF AND THE HOGS,
A Ll Xr kLy ' T LUE AROUND A STUMP
/A AN OHIO RIVER BOTTOM.
i ut "I'st I was goin’ to te'l you
about W(l8 a big pie'* 0 f fun I had
one day when PUt hunlin . ou lhe
White-woman bottoms
As I was slip, i n ’ along, hopin’l’d
see somethin’ to shoot, all to once I
j hßa,d - aw y bfi through the woods a
awful groanin’ and “booh! boohin’!”
of hogs. J didn't know what in thun
der was up with ’em, hut i detemin. and
to £ud out. It was a wet, dtizzly kind
of day, and I could get along over the
leaves and not make a hit of noise. -
I scooted along from tree to tree, and
at last I come to a place wlieie that
was about two acres of hogs.
Sich a sight of hogs I never did see.
I’har they stood ami squirmed ahoht,
kiverin’ all the ground. All had thar
bristles up, an’ all was a “hooh, Itoo
ia ; at a fearful rate Thar was
whi e hogs, black hogs, sandy hogs
spotted hogs and hugs of all sizes’
colors, and deg leer, of cussedness
Med' they was just bilin’mad froth
in at the ’ui'Uth and champin’ their
tee'll feaiful. A sort ol steam rose
up otjt’n the wet bait of thar mass of I
tagi l easts, and filled all the country
round with an overpowerin’ smell ol
mad lo g,
\N hat was a causin’ of all this com
motion I was not long in seein’. Thar
in the middle oi the g eat convention
of logo, stood a big oak stump, about
five feet high, and in the centre of
the stump stool a big gray wolf—a
gaunt, tiungry-lookin’ devil as ever I
seed.
He was handsomely need, and
wasn’t in any pleasant fix, as he was
beginniu’ to fiod out. All about him
was a mass of uneasy hair, devi isVi
eyes, frothin' niou ba and gleamin’
teeth. Poor devil! thar lie stood—
Lis tail tucked close between his legs*
ltd bis teet all gathered into the ex
act centre of the stump —and Lord
wasn’t he a sink-lookin' wolf!— lie
seemed to he thinkm’ that tie had sold
himself awful ch-np.
Right close ahout the stump, and
railin’ * r *.g ’ t , s a crowd of
some of the biggest and most onprin
p.ed old .ws 1 evei sot ey s onto.—
Eveiy half mil ute ■n* of thus, big
old she fellows would rail up, git her
f it in top of the -tump and
m <ke a savage snap at one end or
’tother of the wolf, her jaws cornin’
togethei, 'ike fa finx biahe.
The wo!f wouhi whit! round to
WB'i t tlmt particular sow, wltt-n, ot e
on ’t Itr mu. of the s‘.ump would
runko a jilt; o his til, ttt ’so lliey
k> jt the poor row mti y ( cornerul crit
ter whirhn’ round - t .humpin’
up his hack, hnulin in Sis feet and
tail and in evety possible way reducin’
his general avetage.
Alit.ost every instant there was a
charge made on loin ftom some qu li
ter, at and sometinies from three or four
directions to onct. Loid, wasn’t it
hutryin’ tmoe with him then!
WheD he had a moment to rest an
gaze about, all he saw was thorn two
aciesof open mouths, restless bristles,
and fh-ry eyt s. His long, rod tongue
hung out of his open j-iws, and as he
moved his h-ad from side to side he
seemed to have about the poorest con
ceit of his smartness ot any woll I
ever set and. He had got himself into
a nice pickle by trjing to steal a pig (
and lie knowed it jist as well as if he’d
been human, and was ashamed ol
himselt accordin’. No quarter could
h expect anvwbeie in u l l that sea ol
open, roarin’ mouths.
Sich was the noise, and chargin’
and plungin’ and surgin’ to and fro
that I haidly felt safe behind my t’ee
one bundled ) arils ,].
I determined to try au expetiment
tin that woif. I raised my gun end
fired into the uir At ‘be repott the
critter forgot himself. He bounded
trout the stump with the crack of the
gun, but he m ver tetched the ground.
Half a dtzeu opened mouths reached
up for him, and in them lie landed
There wssjio-t one shap yelp; then
lor a rod around was seen flyiu’ strips
ul wolf skin, legs, and hair —for halt
a uiiuit was heied a chruuchiu’ of
bones, and then them old sows were
lickin’ t oh p-, rarin’ up oute that
thar stomp aud prospectin’ about for
more wolf.
’Bout lhat time I concluded the
neighborhood was like y to prove on

A SHO WER OF FISH.
THF INCREDIBLE STORY A CANA
DA SCHOOL IHA CHER TELLS.
A confirmation of the strange report
that a shower of fish had fallen on
the fourth concession of Harwich
Township, is given by a school teach
er of the neighborhood, who in a let
ter to the Loudon Fret Press, testifies
to what he saw as follows;
“Having dismissed the children for
the day, I was returning tomy board
ing place, when, with a side glance, I
discovered romething i grass.—
At first 1 thoi's" 1 Wlie some species
ot rattlesnake, hut upou more careful
scrutiny I found it was a fine, firm, !
froth fiisli of the pickerel sp cisr.—
Having been Brought up At the sea
shore, I knew at once the fish was i
good and picked it up, while wonder
ing whence it came. “My astonish
ment wa incieased, however, when,
stepping on a few yarJs further, I
found auother < qu.illy good. A few
steps further, and one more, and then
I thought I ought to return to the
schoi lrontn for some paper in which
to wrap them. On entering the room I
seized (rather thoughtlessly, you will
say,) one of the pail-, and proceeded
to collect fish. Wiien I had more
tli n halt tilled the pail, I saw a mat:
iu the distance currying seme fish,
aud supposing the mys’ory was about
to he solved, I awaited Ills approach.
I dropped the pail, and full somewhat
guilty for haviug appropriated the
fish, till relieved by his ussuiing me
that he had gathered up, also, those
lie had in the same way, and tie had
just beeu cu ling the laig> et oi them.
“He oln-eived, “These are as good
and i.esh us luuney could buy,” 1
filled the p il, not only to the hiiui,
but up the whole height' ol lie hand
le, mid having deposited my burden,
uatutally, in t! * faun house here 1

The work had occupied t ail mi hour.

ed with fi-h that she had picked up
mi a similar way. This giil teported

which she c e!d net coev- niently car
re to the lo use.
‘The lady, wi'h her maids, pre.
pared the fish the sane* evening tor
drying and smoking, am! they were
su j (ted to this process next day.—
The circumstance, you will admit, i
unique, apart from its strange sur
ronn'imos, and I cannot nut thiuk the
correspondent of ti e Rondeau Eeus
did not err much in tejsn mg r.

Whoever has habitually 'tended
circuses in this country remeuiheis tbe
Conrad brothets, acrobatic clowns,
and their comical peifoimaete, in
which one pretended to be dead, while
the other tumbled him about. They
recently went to Germany. The Lm
dou Era contains tbe following; One
evening the eldei Conrad fell to the
gn und alter a ptetenried i low, and
was turned and returned, a- usual.—
Hi- arms and legs were je ked, he
was struck and kicked and dragged,
but pn sei ved a steady impassibility
Suddenly in expiessiou of <iis ress
could be noticed though the gmtesque
ly painted iiiieameins of bis brothei,
who hasti.y dropped on his knees mid
placed his hand upou ih° heart of his
inanimate clown, exclaiming, ‘‘Mv
poor br ther is dead!” A this the
audience only laughed. “Gentlemen,”
said the distiesseii man, with terrs in'
his voice, “I a--ure you that lie is
dead. Then, irking him tendeily in
his anus, lie bore trim from the ar na.
Toe crowd appeared struck with the
natural manner iD which the bereft
clown expressed grief, arid applauded
him vigorously as ha departed. There
were loud encores for 1 oti , but nei
ther presented himself. Death had
been more thotoughly simulated than
ever beto- **.

; A MAN WHO SA WA MULE DIE.
THE TEA OIC EVENT WHICH OCCUR
RED ON THE SOUTH FORK OF
YUBA RIVER.
“Aint it a curious thing that nobody
ever sees a mule die? remarked an
old teamster in Humbert & Webber’s
saloon. “No man living ever saw a
mule die, I e’pose?”
Thus remarked Mr. Daniels, light
ing a fresh cigar. “Iu 1850 I was
mitring on the m.uth fol k of the Yub ,
i and it emue my turn to conk for my
j gang. We took turns ea.-h weofe.
; you know. Well, I was going to show
how eqnrnim cal I could run the cora
| inissary. I whu' and bought a peck
i of dried appies; they were all stuck
together in a lump, hut I got ’em
jammed iu to tire pot, poured in some
water and started the fim. Presently
a lew of ’em began to rise up to the
top ot the pot, and so I skimmed ’em
of! and put ’em in a pan. Pretty s. on
sou e moie bulg *d up, und I skimmed
them ofi and put ’em in the pan.—
The first thing I know, after I had
skimmed that blasted pot for awhile,
I had to got another pan, and then
nuother, and by the litno I’d got four
pari6 heaped up full, dung my - kin i.
theie wasn’t mure appies in the pans
than there was in the pot. That is, I
thought so at ttie time- 1 kept get
ting more pans and buckets anl lard
cans, anH all the while plumb fright
ened to death for fear some of the
hoys would c0..,e in and see how ex
travagant t was, for i had been bio win’
on how cheap I could run tile ines.i.—
The blasted apples stilt kept a vomin’
out of the pot. Ipm some papers out
on the floor and covered ’em with
f r <ilt, “hd, by Jove, the place looked
like a Santa Ola,a fruit drying estab
lishment, and the pot was stiil hiiin’
full.”
“What has that got to do with a
mule dyin’f”
“VI ai a minute, I’m cornin’ to the
mule Finally I got desperare ami
dumped over twelve hushes of apples
back of the :tabin, behind a tree. Iu
ahoul an hour I heard a devel of a
noise, ami ran out V\ hat do you
suppose I foumi? Why, a four hun
dred dollar mu e kickin’ in the agon
ies of death, i’he apples all gone*
lie mule nearly so. He was swelled
up like a balloon, and the first thing
I knew he busted. Pledge m word,
gentlemen, lie exploded like a giant
powder last, an I brought the whole
canipt to the place. I kept stid; they
could not fiud the mule, and it cost
'em 810 to advertise a reward for him

weeks alter wards they caught cou.
pie of Gr-asers hanging tound, and
they pu it up that they sto e the ii.ule,
so they hung ’em. I was there, hut

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
The corpse of a man was found in
a cellei in Essex street Wednesday
afternoon, and on Thursday afternoon,
Lou Samuels identified the body as
that of his missing father. Prepara
tions wore at once made to gtvo the
dead man decent burial. Thecoroner
gave a permit, and the body was tak
en to the home of tho family, which
was draped in morning, aud tho fu
neral wes announced for tomorrow
and the burial plot s. cure l iu the
Jewish Ceiuetory. Last night, how
ever, an incident ocnuried which not
only startled the family, but gives
the coroner more work to do. Young
Louis Samuels, while walking along

A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness;
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction;
An erring lace which here and thsm
Enthralls the crimson stomacher;

A wiuning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestous petticoat;
A caie'oss shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility,—
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in eveiy part.
