Aunt Lake wa3 the scene of quite a combat the other day. A parly of huotera from this city stirred up a wild cat and after a hard light managed to kill it. They say the cat handled the dogs roughly, anj fought with a fierceness, courage and desperation only known to this species of animal. There are one or two other wild cats prowling around this lake, and it would be well if Ashing parties would keep a good look out, or they may come home with a cast of features few persons would desire.

A few months ago Mr. Evans and some English capitalists were in Poughkeepsie prospecting ill view of the location of the Hudson River Bridge at that place. They then expressed a desire to locate the largest iron works in the United states at Poughkeepsie, and yesterday it was currently reported that an organization having that end in view had effected.

Kxlcji'iion of Wallkill Valley Uaihvay, The Coeymans Gazette of Saturday last says: party of engineers are surveying a short distance west of our village with Uu: intention of extending the Wallkill Valley Railroad to Albany.

We regret that the line of this road is not laid out along the west bank of the Hudson, instead of where they are now surveying; but lids road will be better than no road at Tile Fruit Peddler. peddler is the personification of cheapness. His attire is never very expensive, his steed is generally less costly than that morsel of cheapness, the canal horse, and the mechanic's cunning hand lias spared his wagon from ornamentation. His manners, wo regret to say it, but the truth must lie told though the heavens fall, rival bis wares in cheapness. Yet be is a favorite with housewives who look after the pennies and let the dollars take care of themselves.

His mortal enemies are the legitimate fruit dealers. They treat him with contempt, and if they speak of him at all it is only to bemoan tlie degeneracy of the age which permits him to travel about the highways of the city underselling He pays no store rent, quoth they, and can afford to sell cheaper than we. Their plaintive murinuriiigs fail to impress tiio women folks, and the huckster who comes to them with peaches and berries, which he will sell at prices away below those of the regular dealers, finds ready customers. They do not like his dress, his maimers, his equipage, but cheapness covers a multitude of shortcomings. If his language be less refined and his manner be more uncouth than the established dealers, they excuse him when they recollect that yesterday he sold peaches for eight cents a quart while his rivals asked fifteen.

The fruit peddler after all is a great conservative force. He has been ostracised by the regular dealers until lie sometimes seems to ns a After all he is what the legitimate dealers have made him. In return he insensibly acts upon and makes them somewhat conservative in prices when, if he were not, they would bo radically radical. So we conclude that the much abused and much abusing fruit peddler has his use Daily Times. Wiltwyck Hour Co.

They intend to eouie as target company, with sixty or sixty-five men in their ranks, and no doubt will make a line show. The name is familiar to a great many of our citizens, and wo hope an escort will be tendered, and all other favors shown them that will aid in making their visit pleasant.

An elevator took us up one hundred and fifty feel and ihcn we passed up a flight of stairs to the top, three hundred and twenty feet high, where we had a tine and extended view of the whole city and surrounding country. During this visit we made a more careful examination than before. The paintings are very numerous, and some are really fine works of art.

We paid a visit to the school houses of the different countries, and also saw miniature residence of the The Persian houses are qnitc fine; that is, these specimens. There was a printing press that printed on both sides of the paper at once, folded and placed each on a pile without being touched by the hands of man. It was done entirely by ma- printed papers with great dispatch. On (lie 16th we left Vienna and departed for Munich, passing through a country that gave us many beautiful landscape views. The road for some distance ran along the banks of the Danube, and as the moon shone brightly, it nowloubt made the view much more beautiful than it would have been by the light of the sun.

We passed through many cities, each of which are noted in history; one of them, tiie city of Enis, the walls of which are said to have been built with the money received for the ransom of Richard Cceur do Leon.

CHURCH. A Known ISow 9t fintiseli. reunir lawyer of this citv, who went to Long Branch, lias returned possessed of much valuable information. While on the sea coast, he made the subject of crabs a particular study, and can now tell why crabs can navigate both ways, and which end they Lite with. He is particularly posted in regard to their powers of execution in the way of biting, having had a practical experience in that line It is said his impromptu, in a deep basso, Captain, help! help! this crab doth bite! was admirably rendered.

Ilomc Again. The uptown lawyers have returned and are now getting ready for County Court, which will convene on the 8th of September. will also be quite likely to prosper somewhat more than they have for the past month, and no doubt soon the well-worn speeches called forth by the Lilliputian efforts of counsel will be heard issuing through the open windows and doors of the offices of those men who have been chosen to decide the law, though they are not supposed or required to know anything about that which they are to decide. A Lively Wedding. Poughkeepsie is a lively city, but not a particularly pleasant one (o celebrate a wedding in unless all hands are as the following item from the Eagle will demonstrate: There was a lively wedding in the first ward one night Inst week.

The happy pair were united in wedlock at ahouljD P. M. Almost immediately after the brother-in-law of the bride made his appearance somewhat intoxicated and just as the bridal supper was ready, lie signified his opposition to the marriage by upsetting the tea table, and smashing the crockery and driving the bride and groom up where he locked them in. He then drove the guests from the house. The dominie who united the couple a little thought go first and they do say lie made about the quickest time on record.

Thegueris showed much feeling over Ihe Nad I'nur of Mistaken Confident e. There is a young man who is a clerk in the lower part of the city who has achieved a reputation as a heart smasher among the ladies, and indeed when he arrays himself in stunning attire, with the jauntiest of neckties, nobbiest collars, showiest jewelry and hair a la mode, he is an object to awaken the tenderest feelings in tiie female breast. Well, a few days ago our young gentleman had a vacation, and, like Lavender Man, resolved to spend it in the country, where ho expected to make havoc among the unsophisticated maidens. As a preliminary to making himself utterly irresistible, before setting out he invested a good share of his past salary in fancy cutis, neck-ties, collars, a pair of fashionable kids and a brilliant set of shirt studs, besides borrowing several handsome rings of an accommodating jeweler with which to adorn liis shapely hand. Arrayed in gorgeous style, with immaculate shirt front and beautifully brushed hair, our gay gallant set out for Kerhonkson, the scene of his anticipated career as a lady charmer, he having Leon informed that lie would find there any number of impressible damsels.

In due time he arrived, per stage, at the hotel where he expected to dine, and carefully unwinding a dainty handkerchief from around his delicate throat, which he thus aimed to protect from the disfiguring touches of old Sol, and removiug the rings which he wore outside of his gloves, the young man touched up his toilet and went to dine. A repast suitable to such ail immaculate being having been finished, the youth again prepared to set sail, carefully readjusting the handkerchief, as lie supposed, about his throat. Just as lie was about fo start off', however, he was astonished by the tumultuous appearance of one of the hotel handmaids, who in loud and excited voice demanded, And what does yer mane by earn in' oil our napkin 1 Does yer think we give our napkins away because our dinners are The crestfallen youth slowly undid the white euveloper of his neck and mournfully banded it to the Biddy. In his eager anticipations and fond dreams of conquest he had absently appropriated a napkin by mistake for his handkerchief. He lias returned since and thinks next year he will rusticate somewhere else and not borrow any jewelry.

Letter From ding: in Lit rope. A other interesting letter has been received from Mr. Gus Hayes of this city, who is traveling in Europe. Mr. Hayes lias visited nearly all the noted places of Europe, and has made a tour of Vienna, visiting the Exposition several times.

He writes as We arrived at Dresden safely, having passed through a very heavy rain storm ou the route, and innde a to the Green Vault in the Royal Palace. There are some eight rooms that contain a vast collection of artistic objects, perhaps the richest of the kind in Europe. There are bronzes, ivory carvings, mosaics, shells, corals, figures in gold and silver, engraved stones, carvings in wood, alabaster figures, and those of wood and A beautiful figure was a carved piece of ivory, one foot by six inches, that contained hundreds of figures of nieu and women at different occuprtions. Wc saw a pearl large as a lieu's egg, and a piece of onyx 6 2-3 inches by inches. After tliis visit we returned to the hotel, and in a long walk at night saw a great deal of the city, with a line view of the river Elbe.

On 30tli of Jul we visited the picture gallery, and there saw one of paintings, the which is the gem of the collection. There was also a line painting by Ibmibrant. Had a sail up the Elbe, and saw ihe summer residence. There were many gondolas on the stream and the scenery is especially fine. The mountains are studded with liotres and castles.

which give them a very picturesque appearance. On Friday the 1st of August we had the pleasure of meeting Willie Dubois of Roiuloul, whom wc found standing in front of the hotel. After exchanging congratulations and a short talk we parted, but met again and passed the evening together. On the 2d, we left Dresden and journeyed toward Prague, passing through the beautiful valley of the Elbe, where the scenery in some places is very line. This country is called the Saxon Switzerland; on the tops of the high mountains could be seen the old ensiles so famed in romance and history.

One of these was the castle of Prince Lobkowits, in which it is claimed Rienzi, the Tribune, was confined. We soon finish our rambles in Prague, and the 3d of August found us, very tired, in Vienna. Oil Monday the 4th wo visited St. Cathedral, which was erected in 1359. One of the towers is 115 feet in From one of the pulpits a crusade was preached against the Turks.

We also saw the tomb of Frederick Ilf. Ou Tuesday we paid a visit to the Exposition, and found its length 750 metres, while it was some 350 feet to the lop of the rotunda. We managed to make a tour of the main building in one day, but it was necessarily done hurriedly. II is impossible to tell what we saw there. The finest display perhaps is made by Austria, China, Egypt and Russia.

We saw a set of jewelry owned by the Countess Dudley valued at 181,400,000. What should she do with them? We looked carefully for (lie Van samples, but could only Ibid one lone pint bottle of wintergreen There was a grand review at this place of some 50,000 soldiers; the Shah was present, and a great many other notables. We paid a visit to the church of the Augustines, and there saw a piece of sculpture by Cunova. Near by was a uumber of silver vases in wbicli arc deposited the hearts of the Princes and Princesses of Austria. We managed lo find our way in the Treasurer's Chamber without a pass, and there saw the coronation regalia of Charlemagne (so said) and those of the Emperors of Austria, Napoleon I.

and the King of Italy. There was a great diamond that weighed 133i carats, and an emerald that weighed 2,780 carats.

S. Railroad, arc greatly indebted to your valuable paper for some of the good comforts they enjoy. It is a welcome guest in their families, and 1 can assure you from close observation that its perusal is a work of delight, pleasure and profit in the estimation of visitors from the different cities of the stale. It was my happy lot to spend a few days with most agreeable and sociable companions, mostly from the Empire City, in tiie beautiful and picturesque village ot Pine llill. some 30 or 40 miles from Rondout on the N.

K. S. Railroad. Two miles north of this place is a ridge, known in the past as Monkey Hill, but to be known and called in future as Beacon Ridge. Edmond Dwight, a New York gentleman, was the first to suggest th'e propriety of driving the monkey without the reach of refinement and civilization, and to this all gave their assent and said The name Beacon (which is also the name of a beautiful mountain in Wales) was suggested; this was accepted, with Ridge added to it.

Miss Hattie Dwight of West 19th street, N. constructed a beautiful flag, of white material trimmed with blue and bearing upon it in fine red letters Hie new name of that Ridge so dear to the inhabitants of Pine Hill, and to all the lovers of nature. Mr. Editor, we are firm believers in (he Red, White and Blue. Wednesday of last week was set apart us the day when the new standard should be planted upon Beacon Ridge, and tiie Red, White and Blue made to wave in the pme atmosphere of the Catskills.

From 40 to 50 good natured people, ladies and gentlemen, parents and children and a few devoted lovers, were conveyed to.the base of the Ridge, whence they climbed the steep road, with sufficient courage to shout nowand then Excelsior. After having reached the summit, provisions rich and plenty placed upon mother lap and lean assure you that no bashfulness or any kind of timidity interfered with our diligence in fortifying the outward man. Lunch being over the banner ceremony began. The flag was raised, fastened to a pole from 30 to 40 feet high, and can be easily seen by hundreds of the inhabitants of Ulster, Delaware and Greene counties. This was done amid the hearty rejoicings of all present.

Appropriate addresses were delivered by the Rev. Frederick Evans and Mrs. L. Devcreux oi New York city. Three cheers were given to the orators of the day.

A hearty vote of thanks and three cheers were given to Miss Hattie Dwight, who was unavoidably absent. The National Hymn was then sung. A motion was unanimously carried that a brief report of the day's proceedings be sent to the Editor of th Kon- dout Freeman. The services were of the most interesting character. Monkey llill is no more, except amoug the things of the past; Beacon Ridge lias taken its place and as long as it raises its majestic head, as if anxious to compete with the highest peak of the Catskills, may its new name remain.
