When the boat reached William-burg both the woman and the girl left the boat and went different diiections only to meet a few minutes after, when the child handed the mon ev to the woman, who remarked 'We i go home now we have done quite well to-day." Both returned to Ju York. YOUK, February Wale the quail eater, sat tliis afternoon to finish his thirtieth brace of biids. He wagered that he could cat a brace of quail every afternoon fur So consecutive days. Two hundred and titty dollars was the the 01 iginal stake, but from time to time it ha- been increased until some or iJ.j.OOO depended on the result.

all of this amount was bet by the oiiginal partLo 10 the wager, however. Walcott said as he sat down that he felt quite as well if not bitter than wren he began the quail diet. Amo'ig spectators to-day were sevcial physicians. Walcott took 7 minutes to clean the bones of to-day's brace. The number of vi-i- tors to the place where the contest has been going on has not been far from ten thousand, aud the match has excited jr.uch interest and comment.

The panther came down on this yard the other night, seized a young steer and sprang with it over the wall. It happened, however, that the brute's prey was tied by a strong rope to a mate, and this second steer hurled against the a and taken from its legs complet- ly checked the panther's progress, farmer, aroused by the commotion, sprang from bed, lighted his lantern, hurried to the barnyard and found his two steers hanging, clothespin lasbion, over the wall, both dead.

The panther's tracks in the snow explained all, and now one more neighborhood i dogs and guns is out aftei this terrible beast. ERIE, February Julius Sevin, a practitioner "of this city for more than a half a century and at one time Erie's leading physician, makes allegation- of shocking cruelty among the in-ane inmates of the State Asylum at Dixmout. Sevin returned a few days fi'j-o, after sojourning eight years 1 as an insane patient.

About eight mind gave way under a sad bereavement and he was committed to Dixmont for treatment.

lie that in le-s than eighteen months he regained his mental faculties and applied for discharge, but was told to bo satisfied where he was All his letters addressed to his family in Erie never went beyond the asylum, and lie lie was subjected to the most bitter indignities. All his pathetic appeals for restoration were unheeded and month after month, vear after year, rolled on without a chance to escape, until some months ago the heart of a young attendent named George Hoeflerwas touched by Dr Seym's pitiful condition and he con-cnted to mail the doctor's letters detailing the of his captivity. The lettess reached his friends here, who had begun to think his infirmity incurable, and the President Judge, William A. Galbraith, interested himself in tho matter. The result was that within a short time the doois of Dixmont were open to Dr.

Sevin. The old gentleman says that one of his companions, a German named Thumb, of Pittsburg, who had recovered but was detained, was bra- tally kicked by a keeper. He fell insensible, and in falling inflicted a terrible gash in his head. In a few days he died, and the superintendent of of the hospital, Dr. liced received a report that Thnnb had died from a fit of epilepsy.

Dr. Sevin alo declares that Mr. Constantino Muustel, an accomplished scholar, wiio is sane as any living man, is the prisoner of his wife's par- mour, who regularly pays tor the husband's support in the asylum. He was sent to Dixmont a. few years ago on petition of the wife.

"Over sixty patients," says Dr. Sevin, "who are sane are confined in Dixmont today, with no hope of release. Oh I could mention instances of men who are imprisoned there and are the victims of outrageous plots. What I have said is not half what I know."

Wendling experiences rreat inconvenience from his inability' to perspire.

Suit brought by the bank Barren's estate led to an examination. For four years the bial has been postponed, and now about to be resumed.

New evidence is said to have been found to prove that Cashier Barren was really murdered at his post of duty. A Michigan farmer watched a three card-mote game, as played by the camp "follower of a circus, and soon saw, of course, that the card with the bent corner was never the picture one when a genuine bet was made on it. By a simple process of reasoning he concluded that by excluding the card which the dealer intended the victim should select, and choosing one of the two others instead, an even chance of winuing could be obtained. lie wagered S'OO on this theory, and won. But he had to whip the gambler aud the stool pigeon in order to get away with the money, as they fought hard against loosing.

A merry sleighing party left Kingston the other night to go to Garden Island where a surprise party was to take place, they drove 'over the lake singing "Peck-a-Boo," at the top of iheir voices, the ice gave way and the rear portion of the sleigh went through. The men sprang out, but the girls were afraid and remained in the sleigh, which settled down until the water was up to their necks. The horses kicked loose and it looked very much like somebody was going to be drowned. Finally their cries were heard on the island and pike poles and planks were brought and the soaked sufferers relieved, Early Monday morning Mr. Peter Killian, of Milwaukee, was by mistake given oxalic acid ly his wife, and within an hour died.
