At Middletown, Cor -. George A. Chafee was peperidge tree twenty-five feet high (the tree, not the fox.) [t was but the work of a moment to draw a bead on his foxship and land him on the ground, where the dog soon put an end to Teynard’s existence. Mr. Chafee, although an experienced hunter, says he never knew of a fox being found ine tree before. The animal, when discovered, was asleep in an old crow’s nest. The entire game bagged by Chafee and his‘ pard” was one fox, one rabbit, four quail and one cat. How They Bite and Sung. From a Report of a Lecture. -Several specimens of the tarantula and _seor- pion were exhibited, and the difference in their mode of stinging explained. The tarantula de- pair of fangs which are in its jaws. The scor- pion’s sting, however, i attachinent in the form of a fish hook at the end of its tail. One of the peculiar things described was the v in which the spider builds aud uses its web. ‘The nest is in the center of the spiral woven web, and the lines radiating from this center to the xterior edges are really a telegraphic system by which the spider tells when any legitimate prey walks into its parlor, is entangled, and so becomes food for the wily weaver. A Big Gun or a Small Snake. From the Milford Dispatch. Cosmus Eckenrodegwho lives on the Bine mountains, was out hunting on Monday last. Ashe was crossing a small clearing he laid down his gun for a while to. gather some Blue mountain ‘tea. Shortly after he picked it up again, and was startled to hear very close to his ear the peculiar whirring of a rattlesnake, and saw the tail of the szake protruding from He dropped the gun the muzzle of his gun. quickly, but instead of coming out his snake- ship crawled into the barrel again. After fruit- less efforts to dislodge him, Mr. Eckenrode re- solved to fire the gun, which was loaded with powder and shot. “The plan. was very success- ful. and the snake, after taking a trip in the air, came down badly used up.

During the storm of Wednesday of last week, John Suter, while gunning near Watson Island, saw apair ofstrange duoks on the land and went ashore to give them chase. and one of them, catching its wing in the bushes, was easily captured. Its mate flew around the island several times, but would not stay away from its captured mate. Coming closer to Mr. 8. it was struck with an oar and caught. The pair were purchased by Mr. W. A. Hill, of the City hotel, for #10, who has them now contined in an outhouse. They are of a dark-bronze color, with slightly reddish breasts, and when in the ‘sunlight present a beautiful appearance. These ducks have been seen by visitors and sportsmen from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, as wellas our duckers generally, none of whom know their names or have ever seen the kind before. The pair will weigh six- teen or eighteen pounds. Squirrels Swallowed by a Snake. Mr. Tom Wootten, of Wilcox county, Ga., says The Havwkinsville News, brought us last week a dozen yams and Spanish sweet potatoes as specimens of his crop this year. They were very large—in tact, too large for ordinary cook- ing purposes. We were just going to say that Mr. Wootten made more potatoes and oats on the same area, killed more deer and caught more wild-cats and foxes than any man in this county, when we happened to hear of his adven- ture while squirrel hunting in the swamps a few days ago. He had killed nine squirrels, when he saw the tenth, and shot and killed it: About that time he ran upon a huge rattlesnake, which appeared to be out foraging for young: ples He shot the snake, and pang near to it he load of shot took off the snake’s heat about the lower part of the neck. Seeing that the reptile’s body was unusually large, he cut it open and found two whole squirrels therein, apparently having been swallowed but a short time, Mr. Wootten thinks the snake was look- ing for winter quarters, and had filled up on the squirrels preparatory to entering the torpid Rattlesnake vs. Blacksnake. On the otherside of the Santa Fe water tanks, on one side of those gravel hills, at 3 o'clock yes- terday afternoon,saysthe Fort Worth Democrat, a fight occurred between a rattlesnake and a blacksnake. The rattlesnake was apparently on a journey, and the meeting was quite accidental. At first the rattlesnake sought to avoid a diffi- culty, but when the blacksnake pressed the mat- ter he halted and folded his length Into the coil. The blacksnake glided around in swift circles; the rattlesnake never changed its position. But the circle still diminished its size, and as the blacksnake drew close the rattlesnake to grow confused. His rattles cease to give out the sharp sound, and his head drop) as if ver- tigo was seizing him. The blacksnake seized, by ghtning movement, the rattler by the throat, and, winding him up in folds, the two rolied over and over together, and in a few moments the rattlesnake ceased to breathe. An exami- nation of the dead body of the rattiesnake re- vealed a fracture in the ie as complete as it done bya blow with aclub. The rattlesnake measured, dead, five feet and three inches. A Canine Policeman. A mongrel dog which answers to the name ot “Bum” is, or rather considers himself, one of the attaches of the 10th district police station in Cincinnat!. He formerly, says the ‘rer, belonged to an oMcer who served under Mayor Jacob's administration, and became accustomed to following his master and their beat. When his master was discharged dog refused to consider himself dismissed, and still follows the officers who patrol his master’s around on the former beat.

Len Pollard, the Middle Park scout and pros- pector, has been having a new and novel expe- rience with a bear. The Grand Lake Prospector telis the story. It appears that while out alone on the range Leonard struck some bear tracks. Not being troubled with any desires to Interview his bearship, he turned and went in another di- rection, but he suddenly came on to brain, who advanced to meet him. Len sprang quickly into a tree, and was horrified to see Mr. Bear climbing after him. What to do he knew not, but suddenly a bright idea popped into his head. He had lately been reading Robinson Crusoe, and Friday's adventure with the bear came to his mind. To act likewise was Len’s pian, so | he crawled out to the extremity of a limb, and when the bear started to follow, he teetered the limb, and was pleased to see the bear cling as if fearful of falling. The experi- ment had worked so well thus far that he con- cluded to continue the experiment. So, like Friday, he crawled to the extremity of the limb and dropped to the ground, and then sta- tioning himself at the foot of the tree he awaited | the bear. The bear backed to the trunk of the tree, and in thesame manner slowly descended to the ground.

From the Detroit Pree Press. A certain Michigander, who had long suc- ceeded in dodging a creditor, was a few weeks ago cornered in the office of a mutual friend, and the creditor began: “Sir! you have owed me §25 for a year past, and now I want to know what you are going todo about it?” “Well, V'll think It over.” “There will be no thinking it over, my friend. If you don’t pay me I'll sue you.” You will?” “I will, sir!” ‘Then you'll be certain to get a judgment. The party which brings the suit always gets the verdict before a ustice. Knowing this. you will take advantage of me.” “I will.” y well. Now, thi deny that I owe you a dollar.” “You do?” “I do, sir; but in case you want to borrow $25 of me for a week, here it is.” ‘I dun’t care whe- ther you call it paying or lending so long as I get my money.” replied the creditor, and he made out a receipt in full and took the money, At the end of the week he was asked to return the loan, but laughed at the absurdity of tne request. Suit was begun to recover it, the mu- tual friend used as a witness, and the plaintitr received judgment in his favor and had a clean receipt to show for the debt. eee 2 News Briefs.
