Indeed ho gave evidence of bis ability until liis resignation of his office of chief of the general, staff in.

He gave certificates from two prominent New York physicians stating the tru th of his claim, 1 gave him a check for seven thousand five hundred dollars.

The time made was about five pounds * minute or three hundred pounds an hour. Allowing time, liberally, fo: emptying the receptacles, stopping for repairs, meals, and so on, the machine could easily work ten hours a day and would gather three thousand pounds at a total expense of not more than three dollars per day, making the total cost of the picking for each bale one dollar and fifty cents.

The -queerest loss by high water ever beard of in the Fine Creek country wkero diaastrons floods are common, was th a t of SoleyFerenbaw, of Kettle Flats, writes a Ilailey'B Mills (Pa.) cor' respondeiu of tho New York Sun.

Ferenbaw is s hunter, mil,ho got It into liis head last spring that he cquld make a good thing by raising boars for the market, the an­ imals to bo delivered alive or dead, ac­ cording to tho taste of tho buyer. Act­ ing on that idea ho bont all liis ingenu­ ity as a trapper in Capturing boars alive,/ and his first pi;lzo was an old she. boar and her two cubs.’ Ferenbaw bad built a big log inclosuro on tho Oats near his cabin, and ho turned his boars in it. At different times since his first capture lie added eleven other bears, young and old, to his first capture, Of these, three cubs, whose mother iho cnuld not get, died for want of proper nourishment. Ono old heah Worked a hole between two logs'lb efforts to escape, got his head fast in U and choked himself to death. Two yearlings £ot in a light over their din­ ner,'one day. One was killed by his Combatant, but tbo latter was so badly hgrt that lie had to bo shot. That left Ferenbaw with bis original old bear and her two cubs, grown to fat. and glcssy fellows big as a Newfoundland dog, and four other hears of various sizes. Ths big rains 6f a week or so ago raised tha creek higher than it had ever boaa known -Before, and a mill dnn> two or three hundred yards above Ferenbaw’s bear pen broke away. The water rushed down, covered tho fljtts and carried away the pen, bears and all. Tho old Wars, i t is supposed, succeeded in stem­ ming the food and escaping to the woods a t favorable points along the creek. The two cubs, however, were drowned, their bodies being found in a pile of driftwood three wiles below Ferenbaw’s when the water abated- Ferenbaw valued his beam a t from filff to fitfi apiece, tie wilt rebuild j>ta pea and begin restocking it a t once.
