A SCARED FEMALE. A Search fora Terrible Mouse—All the Women Thrown into Fits—What the Doctors Found. New York Times. It was Bottom’s opinion that there exists no more terrible wild fowl than your lion, From Bottom’s point of view this may be true, but had the matter been brought to Mrs. Bottom’s attention she would instantly have decided that the mouse is far more ter- rible than the lion. The latter can easily killa defenseless woman, but his enormous size forbids him to be guilty of the acts of stealthy and invisible wickedness in which the depraved mouse delights. If a Hon should be let loose in 4 room containing sev- eral women, they would know that « violent death threatened them. but they would have no oceasion to jump on chairs and to twist tbeir skirts tightly around thei in order to guard against the fiendish tactics to which the mouse is prone. ‘The latter infamous animal inspires terror not so much-because of his ferocity-and strength as because of his roneness to conceal himself among the folds ot dresses or in the recesses of Jarge sleeves,: there to bide his time for surreptitious biting or for the still moro terrifying pracess of “running all over one.” Women may not like to die, uuless, of course, they are tormented by longings for unattainable bonnets or heart- sick for India shawls deferred, but as a rule almost any woman would rather be torn in pieces bya lion than be confronted in a pub- ic promenade by an adventurous mouse. Of this a signal ‘illustration is afforded by the mouse catastrophe which occurred in Boston last Monday evening. The circumstances were as follows: On the evening in question there were assembled at the house of a leading philosopher a select party of people of culture. Among them was a maiden lady who has been for many years addicted to the illicit composition of poetry, the vagueness and unintelligibility of which has given her a deserved local reputa- tion as a wowan of genius and an apostle of progress, In addition to theanatomical pecul- jarities already indicated, the maiden lady dresses with niuch severity of taste in black bombazine and spectacles, and is fond of car- rying with her botties of smelling-salts and other mediciual preparations, with a view to any suddeu shock which her nervous system anight receive from accidentally meeting with people devoid of culture. ‘While the leading philosopher was reading aloud from recent Concord philosophy, a loud shriek from the muiden lady startled the company. It was at first supposed that the poetic afflatus had suddenly and unex- pectedly struck her, and that she would presently begin to recite a new poem. It was soon found, however, that the lady had been attacked by a violent mouse. For some time she refused to plainly indicate the locality in which the mouse was pursuing his ravages, and continued to dance wildly and to cry: “Take it off! Take it of!’ but after awhile she became calmer, and asserted that the mouse had penetrated to her pocket. An ingenious woman instantly proposed that the cket should be removed and the mouse ‘illed, a proposal that met with general ap- probation. All the men who were present withdrew from the room with the exception of two doctors, who remained to receive the pocket and to puiish the mouse. Two or three ladies of exceptional bravery under- took the search after the pocket, assisted by such hints as to its probable location as could be given by its now nearly exhausted owner. ‘The pocket was one of those curiously con- cealed pockets affected by timid ladies,which are intended to bafile the boldest burglar, and have no immediate communication with the exterior of the wearer, but can be reached. only bya peculiar gymnastic performance, which the masculine eye is never, except by ‘accident, permitted to witness. After much difficulty the pocket was found, untied, and brought to the two doc- tors, with its upper end tightly twisted to [prevent the escape of the mouse. It was a large pocket, and it was thought best to kill the mouse without attempting to disentangle him from the handkerchief and keys with which he was supposed to be in company. Accordingly, one doctor laid the pocket down, on the marble-topped table, and the other doctor prepared to pound it with the poker, while the ladies stopped their ears to avoid hearing the death-shrieks of the mouse, and stood on chairs to provide against the con- tuugency of his possible escape. The doctor with the poker was an athletic man, who had a large tamily of boys, and he pounded the pocket with a vigor which smashed the top. ot the table and jarred a Japanese vase from the mantelpiece." A strange and pungent odor filled the air, and the bioud of the mouse, which seemed to be at times jet black-and at others pale yellow, dyed the marble and dripped down to the carpet, When it was certain that the mouse was completely dead, the two medical men carefully opened the pocket and tnade an ex- amination of the contents. They found frag- ments of au ink-bottle, a bottle of smelling- salts, and a bottle of cough imixture, remains of a handkerchief, a collection of keys, and a pair of spectacies, tugether with a yard meas- ure of the kind which rolls up with a spring. ‘There was, however, not the slightest indi- cation of a mouse, and it was decided that the accidental breaking of the spring of the yard measure had produced the noise and meve- ment within the pocket. which the maiden lady had mistakenly attributed to the furtive mouse. That unhappy lady was straightway up- braided by everybody for giving a false alarin of mice, and was requested by the wife of the philosopher to take notice that her table and earpat were irretrievably ruined. Of her feelings it is unnecessary to -speak, and it is doubttul if, in the whole range of Concord philosophy, there is anything sufficiently vague and unintelligible to affor real comfort, “ Sey het any PITHY POINTS - As to the Orderine Off of Sale of the Baltimore & Ohio Tickets Via the Pennsylvania. The One Issoe Of, and the Yew Issue by the Now Ronte 0a, In No Time—What the @. P. Agents Have to Say About It. ‘The Baltimore & Ohio’s lightning express, direct from New York, arrived yesteraay morning buts few moments late, showing that the obstacles thrown in the way of the road in passing through Philadelphia have practically been overcome. As that portion of the track upon which so much delay has been occasioned by alLsorts of expedients is included within the decision making it a joint track, it is probable that the intimations of the Court were such as to lead to a cessa- tion of the hindrances and thus escape a caso of contempt. There appears to still exist considerable misunderstanding as to the sale of Baltimore & Ohio tickets on the line of the Western routes out of this city. The cir- culars and special and other dispatches which have been sent here aud published during the week have been such as would naturally lead to & confusion in the minds of the tray- eling public. Just what right rival lines had to order off of sale the Ballimore & Ohio tickets on Western lines is not quite evident and not generally understoud in this city or throughout the West. Under the vid order of things, when the passenger via the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad to New York had to change into Pennsylvania cars, the various roads forming connection with the Baitimore & Ohio issued their Baltimore & Ohio tickets with coupon attached, which was taken up by the Pennsylvania Road. It was this coupon which was ordered off of sale, or rather circulars were sent out stat- ing that they would not be honored for passage over the Pennsylvania Road. This, however, could not stop the sale of Baltimore & Ohio tickets, as the Western lines, being entirely neutral and naturally de- Siring to control ail the business they could. frum the four trunk lines, would not favor any one road at the expense of another, This being the case, orders were immediately issued to ticket agents to make Baltimore & Ohio tickets to New York read via the Balti- more & Ohio’s new line instead of the Penn- sylvania, as before the Baltimore & Ohio had opened te New York. Immediately follow- ing this, the different roads centering in this city at once ordered new issues of tickets expressly for the new line, covering, as a matter of course, all intermediate as weil as terminal points, The persistent manner in which the fact of the tickets being ordered off of sale has been kept before the public and the various forms in which the story has been told, is unquestionably the efforts of a rival line to embarrass the business of the new line, and, asa matter of fact, the in- quiries as to whether the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad really had any tickets on sale at all have been quite frequent. In order to ascer- tain from the General Passenger Agents direct, as to the issuing of the new tickets, ealls were made yesterday at the passenger departments of the different Western fines, Mr. St. John, of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacitic, stated that he_had as a matter of course followed the Pennsylvania’s in- structions as to the taking off of its issue of tickets over the Baltimore & Ohio Railway between Philadelphia and New York, and immediately afterwards he had acted upon the request of Mr. Lord, Gen- eral Passenger-Agent of the Baltimore & Ohio, to make the tickets of that road good over its new line between the cities named. This left matters esity nearly as they were, and Baltimore & Ohio tickets were on sale as they always have been over the Rock Island route. Mr. St, John further stated that the new issue of tickets for the Baltimore & Ohio Kailroad were printed and have been sent out to all stations on the line of the road, and that, owing to this issue being exclusively for the Baltimore & Ohio, and as regarded through business from Chicago east, the representation was very much larger than the road had ever before had on_the Rock Island. Dropping in_at the office of Mr. Woods, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, he stated that the tickets of the Baltimore & Ohio Road had_ not been at any time taken off of sale on his line, although, pursuant to the request of the Pennsylvania Company, he had taken off its issue of tickets in connec- tion with the Baltimore & Ohio and in- structed his agents to sell all Baltimore & Ohio tickets via the new line between Phila- delphia and New York. 3fr. Woods’ clerks at the time were busily engaged in sending out the Baltimore & Ohio’s new issue of tickets, and allof them will be in the hands of agents before Monday morning. Mr. Chariton, General Passenger Agent of the Chicago & Alton, was found at his office, and, in | response to the question as t the ticket situation on his road, said that he had promptly followed the in- structions of both r. Farmer, of the Pennsylvania Road, and Mr. Lord, of the Baltimore & Ohio; that he had ordered off of sale the Pennsylvania issue of the Baltimore & Ohio tickets between Philadelphia and New York, and had immediately there- ufter, in compliance with Mr. Lord’s request, instructed his agents to seli Baltimore & Ohio tickets _via_its new line from Phil- adelphia to New York. As regards the new issue of Baltimore & Ohio tickets, Mr. Charlton stated that they were all out and in the hands of the ticket agents on the en- tire line of the road. At the office of Mr. Stennett, General Passenger Agent of the Chicago & Northwestern, that gentleman was found just ready to leave, but courte- ly remained in order to explain the et matters on his line. He, tov, as a Matter of course, had responded to the Pennsylvania request to. discontinue the sale of Baltimore & Ohio tickets teal- ing via the Pennsylvania from Phil- adelphia to{New York, and also, pursuant to Mr. Lord’s request, had sent instructions to i agents to sell the Baltimore & ickets via the new line to New York. ‘The new issue of Baltimore & Ohio tickets were bemyg received from the printers and would be sent out on Monday, Mr, Hansen, General Passenger Agent of the Ilinois Cen- tral, stated, as did all the otner gentlemen, that his line was most friendly to and desir: ous of securing all the business it could from the different trunk lines, and, this being tho case, he had extended the same prompt at- tention to the instructions of the Pennsyl- yania as he had to. the instructions of the Baltimore & Ohio; that he hac ordered the Pennsylvania’s issue of Baltimore & Ohio tickets off of sale in accordance with Mr. Farmer's telegram, and had sent word to his agents to sell Baltimore & Ohio tickets yia its new line to the Eastin response to Mr. Lord’s request. As the form of tickets In use on the Illinois Central is such as to permit their adaptation for any of the Eastern routes, the coupon from Philadelphia to New York was simply changed froin the Pennsylvania to the new line, and the new, issue of tickets were in reality on sale the day the change of routes was made, In reference to the matter of bagrage checks, orders and telegrains in connection with which have been rather frequent the past few days, the situation is about the same asit is with the tickets, Passengers will find no trouble whatever in checking their baggage through from ail points on the Western roads, the check being now Baltimore & Ohio via the new fine to New fork, instead of via the Pennsylvania, as before the change went into effect. The probabilities are that but afew days more will be devoted to confusing telegrams, or- ders, and the like, and, all things considered, the Baltimore & Ohio’ has opened its new line from Cnicago to New York with a greater success in prompt running of trains and handling of business than is usually the case, and indications point unmistakably to the intention of the Baltimore & Ohio to con- tinue the equal in every respect of any of the trunk lines, ANOTHER MURDER.

SPRINGFIELD, III., Dec. 11.—The sensation- al stories published concerning John F.

Burrill, are not true in fact, and were not made by affiunt. Affiant doth fur- ther say and depose that the lady referred to as a ‘trusted servant” took charge of tho houso of said affiant about one year ago at the solicita~ tion of herself and husband, agreeing to board the family fora certain sum to be paid month- ly, and since that time she bas been continu- ously with them, and that her conduct bas been of the most exemplary character, giving the said affiunt the utmost confidence in her probity and chastity. Affunt further swears it the statement that ber‘children were cognizant of the shame being brought upon their family and thelr father, and joined with ber in demand- ing a new order of things, is utterly fuise and devoid of truth. She further swears and deposes that she has not now, and never has had, any reason for thinking that any improper intimacy existed between the said John F. Bur- rilland the party referred to. Affiant further swears that the said John F. Burrill bas ever been toherakind and indulgent husband, and that tho statements made by her were made at a time when she was greatly excited, and that she now desires to retruct thein. Hannagd F.
