''I wouldn't think it would interest anybody, but you're wel- come. It wag thirty years ago we moved into tile backwoods, forty miles frotit t,vory where, almost. Our nearest neighbor W118 five miles away. We didn't go to town only once in a loug tithe—when we had milling to do, or were obliged 'o go. Once our matches gave out., in be- tweeu tinges, and, my husband was tl )w- 1 sick and couldn't go to town. I ti led faithfully to keep fire from nue lural to another, and when I was done cooking 1 covered up the coals in the flee -place with a bed of ashes; but one morning when I got up and fixed to cook breakfast every spark of the fire was cut. There was no help for it. I had to go to the next neighbor's aud borrow fire. A ten•mile walk before breakfast ain't the most fun in the world, ex- cept to folks that does it Lir amvse- ruent. I had two little babies then, one 5 months old and one three years, and I left my husband to look after them the best he could, and took my bundle of pine splinter's and hurried away. ' I got along all right going there, but it took me a long time, and 1 was so anxious about home, knowing that the child- ren were hungry, you know, and I didn't stop to sit down, but just lit one or two of my ping splinters and started out at once. I carried the bundle of spliuters uuder niy arm, and would put a new one in every tilne my torch began to burn Iow. "I hadn't got mole than a mile front our neighbor's house when I heard it lung. wild scream in the woods over to my right. It fright- ened lee almost to death, for I thought it was a woman being hurt or perhaps murdered, and I stopped and screamer), too, hopit.g she would hear and answer. Would I have gone to her ? \Vhy, of course I would. 'What else could I have done? You gentlemen most think women a ()neer tot. Rut I didn't hear any answer though I waited some limp, nod shouted again and again ; so 1 mended my torch and went on. I had gone about half a mile, I should think, when I heard the scream again It was a long, shivering scream, different from any- thing I heard before, and I was cer tain now that it was the cry of a wild animal. It was much nearer me This time, and on the left. Tho animal,whatever it was, had crossed the road, and was following me aud circling around me as I went. "0 he yes; of sourer -I •was fright- ened 1 I hall grown accustomed to hear wildcats and wolvee, but this wits a new experience. I started running, and I was so light, and ac tive that I could run fast. I kept it R up for at least a quarter of a mile, aud then 1 paused a woweut to get lily breath and to listen. Nut twee• ty yards behind rue a huge yellow crouture sprung across the road, and the uext moment I heard its scream agaiu. "1 811W ruuuing W 15 useless.

At last it disappeared for a little while and I began to think it hadgiven up the pursuit, but when I saw it again it was crouched on the limb of a tree just above the road, waiting for me to pass under. I stop- ped right where I was. I don't sup- pose I could not have walked another step to have saved my life. When the panther, (for that's what it was of course,) saw me stop it leaped from the limb to the ground, and began playing all around me, with all the kittenieh motions you ever saw. It would lie down and roll over and over, looking at me all the while, and then it would jump up and claw at the dead leaves, and lash its tail, acting just like some playful kitten you have seen about your door -yard. Two or three times it crouched, and I thought it was going to spring but it changed its mind,and went toplay- ing again. And all that time 1 just stood there and didn't move. I couldn't move, in the first place, and then I saw that it wouldn'thave been any use. 'l'he only )notion I made was to put two or three splinters into tuy torch, for even in that awful place 1 thought of the fire being out at hoiue and the babies witho.lt any breakfast. "All at once the panther began ieaping clear over me. What pees- essed hill to do it I can't imagine, but he would crouch and spring, and go over it like a ball. 1 stood it esteem and of cordial relations from friend to friend. Under these these circumstances the system of low spying and vile anonymous in- formation now so freely resorted to is of no utility. But the contrary opin• ion seems to prevail in your commit- tee and elsewhere, and I have tens dered my resignation. I have work- ed often late into the night to make the national printing office what it is, and my work will stand my answer to the calumniators and fanatics who have sought my ruiu.

THE PRINTING BUREAU SCAN- DAL INVESTIGATION. OTTAWA, Aug. 28.—The7investiga- tion into the Printing Bureau scan, dal was eontinned before the public accounts Committee yesterday. Before Mr. Wallace swore Arthur W. Croil, the proprietor of the Na- tional Publishing and Electrotyping Company, this letter was read after messages had been despatched to Mr. Senecal's office : OTTAWA, Aug., 56, 1881. To Clarke Wallace, Esq., M. P., Chairman Public Accounts Com- mittee: I have held myself at the disposal of your committee for several weeks, contrary to the formal prescription of my doctor in order to furnish my desirable informatiou as to the pure chasers and as to the expenses of the Government printing office, I should have been able in one sitting to have given that information, and immedi- ately thereafter to have taken the rest I needed. But I see that the committee is not anxious to secure that information. I can no longer delay complying with ny doctor's ore dere. It would haye been easy to convince the committee that all the contracts were honestly and scrupulously made, and that no com- mission or advantage for myself or others was stipulated for or taken into consideration. In any event it would have been easy to prove that the purchases were made for the Government at lower pricee than any private individual could have made them for himself, but that was not, it seems, what the committee wanted. According to my understanding of t}I�IAVG, ills Cff l 'ery ce re4f, es also the oath taken by employes, forbid the receiving from the Government of any other remuneration than the regular salary. But it docs not fore hid, it cannot forbid, testimonials of QUEER NAMES. A gentleman in Boston has Made collection of odd names, and has oma curious ones ou his list.
