In the Fivll of '74. on a dull-looking ;
moniintf, a chum of mine, Tom HayUsc,
and myself left riitiustiur?, en route for
Iudiau C'vilch, eome twenty-flve miles di- ,
tant. Tom was an old miner, and had
V it a ted a claim In irench Uulch early In
tho fifties, from which ho had taken a (rood
many thousnnd dollars and folt eertfrin ,
that there fctHl remained localities In the
Indian Gulch District of Mariposa Co., Col.,
where a man could, at any rate, make Krub j
money, and might, by chance, strike it ;
rieh.'' Koch of us packed a double blanket,
and I took an old shot-gun along in order ,
to somewhat vary the monotouy of beans j
and bacon w ith a rabbit or quail Soon j
after we Wt Plainnbur it betran to drizzle, :
but having once started we determined to i
ketp rijht akitifr. About uixn it clearexl
oil a tnf.ei, ami we halted to take lunch "i
and rest at a deserted cabin, close to what I
had once been a sheep corral. Jrust as we
had lir.iahed our afLer-lunch pipes we were j
Blartk-d by a vivid Hash erf lightning, foV j
lowed almost iuitantaneoufly by a clap of I
thunder, which tnude the riokety old cabin :
fairly shake, i'lasli followed fliish. and :
defeuiup peala of thunder siinultant-oubly
echoed through the adacnt foot-liills. ;
Then canie the ralu, and such raiu I
- I guees we'd better make a night of U
here," said Tom Buyliss, after we had
waited in vain for three hours for it to ;
dear up.
1 perfectly afjrreed with htm, and as we :
bad taken the precaution to bring along 1
Bume biacult, baon and coffee, w e sbirted ;
a Are In the big adobe Ore-place, put the
coffee-pot on, and after patching up tbo
leaky roof as well as we could, prepared .
to make the best of the night.
It must have beeu about 11 P. m. whin j
we were ftfa.rt.led out of a sound sleep by j
loud shrVk of ratirdejl murder! Ui a
ekrUl woman' voice. Our dog was bark
ing furVmsly. I clutched my .hot-gun, ;
and Tom. taking YX. revolver, we ballied
furth to discover the cause of the eries we
heard. Tbe rain had ceased, and a young
moon, aided by the stars, hhed a faint
light over tho plain. Some hundred yard;
away we could Just dlsceru the outline, of
a covered wagon. As we upprnached the
cice became fainter and fainter, nnd ba-1
ru-.bsided b.to a r'.e- of moans, when we
finally halteil, ten yards from the wanun,
and shouted cut: ''What'- the.mattor
t!ere?" ,v
The only answer we r&ceived was the
thrustlrg "of what looked like the barrel of
a Winchester rlrte through the aperturo
for lngresa of the oil -cloth cover of tbe
wagon, and ft request to get out of that
q iick if you don't want some hot lead.7'
ot deriring "to be mle birgets of, we
beat a pea eful retreat toward our onbin.
That tbr wa?on could not get away with
out our knowledge we wr ussuad, as
both of tbe horses were sheltering from
the w Itvd lu ftu old barn closa to the cabin
we were In. Tom, who was somewhat ro
mautically Inclined, insUted that It was a
case af abduction, and that some villain
had stolen aw ay a lovely maiden or fair
vourg wife. L being eomewhat more pro
pjiic, .uggested tbt It was a niexe family
lar between hrs'Mind and wife, aud that
perhaps the old woman had imbibed a
trifle too much. So we talked and specu
lated upon the car until the first gray
atreaks of dawn hflcan to li;ht the eastern
horizon. We looked In the direct iou of
tho waf-ou, and at once discerned sns of
Eft A tire raid been lit on the creek

line of a man's form against the flames.

of a Cowboy.
About tbe 10th of May the foreman of
a cow outfit is m the nearest town, hirfn
hie men and loading a freight ttram wtta
provisions. The men go out to the nea
with him, and two or three days be for
the round up, which la usually to the lattc-1
half of May, the horses are rnusterfa ana
divided among the men. The pomes thrt
have been running on the rane througa
the winter are thrown to with whatevej
fresh colts the outfit has purchased, and
the men nil proceed to the corral. The

the culls and Jaybird ain't been found yet.
Well, throw your tup on that glass-cyea
pinto next to the bars there, and I'll give
yon an old tin too."
While the bos? goes on assigning the horse
Tex coils up his riata, a rope of plaited raw
hide as large as your finger and from fifty
to eighty feet long. On the end of this 13
worked a " hondoo," or a small ring of raw
hide, through which the rope Is doubled,
and he pulls enough slack through it to
make a loop fifteen or twenty feet to cir
cumference, noldmsi the coil to hta left
hand, he grasps the rope just outside the
loop and holds it in his right hand, doubled
back on the loop. Then he throws the
loop out behind htm and shouts to tho colt.

; to the end of the rope at full speed, encj
meanwhile Tex crouches on the ground,
' with his weight thrown bnclt on the rope,
! T,A mnv "chanacs ends" with a jerk that)
alniobt break his neok. and then Tex runs
up to him elaok and starts btm again, and
after the performance has been gone
through a dozen times the pony has learned
not to "run on a rope," and the first step
toward his education is accomplished. He
to then named. This Is a subject for des
bate, and Tex finally decides on -Streaks"
as appropriate for a "patat' OT Piebola
horse. Streak la lead out of Uie corrat
and while one of the other boys holds the
rope, Tex takes another rope, and as the
pony runs pas hiai, snares his fbfe foe.
and throws htm on the ground. This sees;
ond rope is passed to another man, who
holds tl so Uiat tie pony is powerless.
Blanket and sndiUo are hitched on, and
the backAmore," a sort of halteT with a
nose piece that will draw tightly when
pulled, is put on. IV) this is added a horse,
hair rope, called a roacarte, and after a
handkerchief has been placed over the
pony's eyes the otter loops aro loosed.
Streaks plungas to his feet and runs on the
macarte. This he flr.'bi even more unpro
fitable than running on the riata, for the
noose pirtce brings him up au stanainri
Whan he is quiet enough to approach Te.t
ties the macarte so as to mate reins and
throws hinwolf into the paddle. Streaks
looks as if he meant mischelf, and the by
etnnders climb up on the corral to be out
of harm's way. Sometimes a mounted
man is at hand to -haze" tho broncho and
keep him from ru unlng through a wire
fence or smashing into a wagon. Tex
reaches over and raises the blind, and then
the fun begins, gt reeks stands still for S
mitnont, and then malujs a mad plunge
into the air and lands on his otulened
fore legs, with bis nose almost on the
grouud. Tex has balanced himself and
returns the compliment with a touch of
the spur. St rea4;s makes a succest-i. n ol
swift plunges, c.lianying ends at every
Jump and striking the ground like a stretJ

We are glad to teport continued prepara
tion on the part of our teachers for their
work. A number of our leading teachers
annually attend the Indiana State Normal
School, the school of the ninth district, to
ovt ieh Cumhria eountv belonts. The supe-
request was In accord with my own opinion
and the institute for the present school
year will be held in October. Id 1883 and
18?4, our Institutes were held in October
anl they were the largest meetings ever
held lu the county.
During tbe year a number of local insti
tutes were held In various districts through
out the county. These meetings of teach
ers, directors and citizens resulted in a
great good to the schools. In several dis
tricts teachers' reading circles were In suc
cesssul operation. This movement Is grow
intr throuohout tbe State and the teachers
of Cambria county must not neglect their
local organizations for mutual improve
ment. Arbor day exeercises have not been
generally observed in this county. A num
ber of trees have been planted in borough
school properties. Cntu scnooi ioia ic
fenced and properly cared for but little
attention will be paid to the planting of
trees .
Tyslology, tho new branch of; study was
lndroriuced to all parts or the county. It
was very Imperfectly taught, however, in
many schools; teachers must now undergo
an examination in this branch and we ex

taught and result more satisfactorily.

Essence of Ttnltie Law.
It is a fraud to conceal a fraud.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
Notes bear interest only when so stated.
The lsw compels no oue to do impossibili

A receipt for money is not at all umes
conclusive.
Prlncpals are lespont-ible for the acts of
their agents.
No consideration Is si fflcient in law if it

Wt;ile g.ving this information, the

Mather courteously showed tish eggs ;
demonstrated how" the currents In the
troughs w-rc controlled .illustrated bow
rggs were couT.texl by measuring the
bulk of a given numl-er in a g as, and
how frv were counted by scooping thera
up ou a flat, fan-like net and guessing at
their number; snapped up startled little
fishes into a glass tule to show what
thev looked like, and seized upon a stray
caddis worm as a subject for digressive
remarks as to how much letter-looking
tie would be when be climb! out of
Ms littlo red house to leome a fly,
and how muih a trout would like him
In either stage of hi existence.
Tho several smelt eggs were de
tached from the murky mass in one ot
the jars and hud in a crvstal saucer in a
few drops cf water. There they look od
like atoms of the clearest glass. Under
the microscope the fish was clearly vis
ible. The eyes were big and staring, and
the ou' lines'cf head, lly, and tail were
dfscernih!,'. l'.ut when it is hatched .ut
