HARD on poor folks Though the weather has been mild and the cost of lnel to the poor has been comparatively light, still there has been a large amount of suffering on account of no ice money lieing in circulation. There are nearly 25,000 men along the Hudson and inland who depend for sustenance for alioiit two months of the winter on the few dollars they earn in the ice harvest.

In a full crop year about $500.000 are expended in storing it. To keep this amount of money out of the pockets of the poor makes many cases of want. Every branch of business in the River towns feel the lack of money and mourns the The most of the men who work on the in the summer depend ou this ice work in winter, and with them the most of the is felt, as the past fall was a poor one for them and many quit work with a store bill to them in cold weather.

They wagged with their a farewell to the tail-eml of the Sunny South, set their fins in motion and soon were in the Gulf Stream on their way Dorth, Un Friday a lone fisherman at Sandy Hook cast his net into the sea and caught the four shad that had enjoyed such pleasant swim in the warm Gulf stream. The fish were shipped lo yesterday they were eaten and pronounced par excellence. The backs were broader than the shad usually caught in the Hudson River, and the fact that they were taken off Sandy Hook at this season of the year is an ndd occurrence, and shows how foolish tiie lish were to leave Florida before other Northern boarders there began to leave for home. In my opinion some fish are as dumb as some men I hall.

It Extraordinary, Yet It Well aud True. Christopher Snyder, of Kingston, is the owner of a cat that is 19 years old. Though deaf and somewhat inactive, puss is in good health. It lives mostly on milk. Mr.

Sny der tells a number of auecdotes about the intelligence of this cat. He was the owner of a little dog. The dog and cat be came great friends. When an enemy of the cat came in the yard the dog would fly at it and drive it away. During the battle the cat avoii Id waik gravely in the rear of the dog, as though urging it on.

After the enemy had been vanquished, the eat and dog Avould touch noses, and then trot hack to the house, side by side. The had the mischievous habit of killing chickens at one time. A little bantam lien Avas the mother of a brood of chickens. The cat would stealthily watch the chickens and At hen Mr. Snyder was not about, jiounce on one and kill it.

One day when the cat was ying in wait near the coop, Mrs. Snyder raised the coop and let out the bantam. The little lien mother had been watching the cat through the bars of the coop for several days unable to protect its young, and the moment it was free it sprang at the cat with great fury. The charge was so sudden that puss was entirely taken by surprise, and after a slight defense turned aud ignorainiously fled. The bantam pursued the cat for some distance.

Ever after Avhen a chicken came near, the cat would look at it as much as to say: You play that game and walk out of the way. BUSINESS J40TICES. CHEAP EXCURSION TO MONTREAL.
