"Oh, if you want to know," said the man, "1 mob a Bear up yonder in the wood and I had to give my word to him to bring Dobbin back to -morrow, at this very hour, for if he didn't get him he mid he would tear all my sheep to death by aummer."

"What's that there that stands alougaide your sledge?" bawled ont the voice in the wood. "Say It's an old firestunp," amid the Bear. "Oh, it's an old firestump," said the man. • "Such fir -stumps we take in our country and roll them on our idedgert," bawled out the voice; "11 you omit do it youreelf I'll come down and help you."

Damage Done by the Foolish Order of an Anatrlan Commander. Attempts have been made to husb up a deplorable military blunder, says a Vienna letter to the London "Timea," by -which a soldier of the thirteenth Hussars ban been killed, while twenty-six of hie comrades and eighty-seven horses were more orieas injured. It seems that July b0 the thirteenth Hussar regiment, which is quartered at Budsipeate was being inepeoted. The exercises lasted two hours, and were well executed, but when men and horses were quite exbausted from their work, Col. von Illes unexpectedly gave the command for a charge at full gallop. The animals were too tired to answer to the spur. Many of them broke down, others tried to jump over those on the ground, others shied and dashed out of the ranks. All this paased no rapidly that before the trumpet; could sound a halt the ground was strewn with dismounted troopers and injured horse'. Beside the human who haft died, there are three inhere in the hospital who are not expected to recover from their injuriee, thirteen who are reoovering from fractures and ten from 'lighter wonndit. Oat of the eighty-seven chargers which had to ID consigned to the veterinary hospital, a consideiable number will no doubt be unfit for further service. A Settler For Him.

In- stantly Cox, the wit of the House, with a twinkle in his eye, rose and delivered Ma thoughts thus: "Mr. Speaker, did the honourable gentle- man who spoke last speak to idle purpose, or not speak to the purpose? If he did not speak to the purpose, to what plummet did he speak ?" That particular orator never troubled the House again. _1110011110. - Circumstances Beyond Oontrol.

He bad promisedMise Ione and Miss Bertha Stone and Leonard Eaton a day in the moun- tains when huckleberries were ripe, and lase week all four of them started to Aterah Creek. They climbed the mountains near Asaph Run and picked berriea until the sun had almosb hidden itself behind the Bud Eagle Mountains. They were returning down the steep billaide and on a direct line with the place where they had left their horses and wagons. It was nob far from the base of the mountains when suddenly the party heard the loud rAtie of a snake. The reptile was soon discovered and it proved to be a monster in size. It was coiled up and ready for a hard fightr, but three huge atones dropped on its head put an end to ite exist- ence. Ib meatured five feet and seven inches In length, was ten inches around the body, and had seven rattles. While these measure- ments were beingtmade the natio of another onske was heard ohm by. Its hiding place was under the atone on which Capt. Whitney was standing, and its death followed in there order. It had about the same size as the fireb one killed, and had the same number of rattles. The party wee in a rooky ravine, a very uncomfortable place to mee6 a rattlesnake. They were just leaving it when the rattle of a third snake was heard. ' The party retreated rapidlyeand for some distance away they heard the continuous and defiant rattle of what aeemed to be a kin- dred snakes. Capt. Whitney is 66 years of age and is one of the beet known snake hunters in %Yoga county. When he lived at Corning he spent many days in the moun- tains hunting the reponse, and he has cap- tured many rattlesnakes alive with a piece of cord. He says during this lain experience he was soared for the first time. Advice Good, But Unnecessary.
