THIS PAPER!
In tbe i'tUl of '74, on a dull-looktruj
moruinu:, a chum of mine, Tom HnyHss,
and myself left l'Utiiisbnrz, en rout for
Ii:diui (ialcb, eomo twenty-five mtles flis
tant. Tom was an oid miner, and had
located a claim In lYench Gulch early in
tho fifties, from which he had taken a eood
Biany thoiusncd dollars, and felt certmn ,
that there btGl remained localities In the
Indian Gulch District of Mariposa Co., Col.,
where a man could, at any rate, make tru.b j
money, and might, by chance, "strike it
ri-h." Kach of us pucked a double blanket, ,
and I took an old shot-gun along in order :
to somewhat vary the monotony of beans :
und bftcon w ith a rabbit or qtiail. Soon (
afU r we left Plainsbur it betran to drizzle, .
but having once started we determined to
k,ep right a!ong. About nfxn it cleared
off a trifle, ami we halted to take lunch 1
and rest at a deserted cabin, close to what
had once betn a ahtep cor ml. Just as we j
had llniahed our af icr-lunch pipes we were
etartUdby a vivid Hash of lightning, foV- j
lowed almost instantaneously by a clap of I
thunder, which made the riukety old cabin !
lulrly shake. Flush followed flash, and ;
daafenlng peals of thunder simultaneously j
echoed through the adjacent f Kit-hills.
Then canie the rain, and such raiu I
" I gruean we'd - tter make a night of U ;
here," Tom Kaylips, after we had
waited in vain for three hours for it to
dear up.
I perfectly agreed with him, and as we :
nad taken the precaution to bring along
mime biscuits, baun and coffue, we started ,
a fire In the big adobe fireHiLate, put the j
coffee-pot on, and after patching up the ,
leaky roof as well as we could, prepared ;
to make the beat of the night. 1
It must have been about 1 1 T. m. when j
we were rtartled out of a eour.d sleep by ,
loud shrieka of murder I murder! In a i
skrUl woman' Toice. Our dos was bark- ;
ing furtously. I clutched my sbot-min, :
and Tom, tAking his revolver, we sallied
forth to discover the cause of the cries we ;
heard. The rain had ceased, and a young ;
moon, aided by the stars, shed a faint
light over the plain. Some hundred yards j
away we could Just discern the outline of i
a covered watton. As we approached the J
voice became fainter and fainter, and had :
mibtdded Uitj a Br'.e- of moans, wheu we ;
finally halted, ten yards from the ivaijoa, ,
and shouted ont: "What1 the.mattor ;
there?" . tv
The only answer w received was the i
thrustir 8 of what looked like the barrel of :
a TLnchester rifle through the aperture
fr ingress of the oil-cloth cover of the :
wapon, and a request to get out of that ,
qiick if you don't want me hot lead." j
ot det-iring 'to be made targets of, we
beat a peaceful retreat toward our oabln.
That the wagon could not get awy with
out our knowledge we wr assured, as
both of the horses weTe sheltering from
the w l'id in an old barn close to the eabia
we were in. Tom, who was somewnm ru
mautlcaUy Inclined, insuted that it was a
case f abduction, and that some vdlnin
had stolen away a lovely maiden or fair
Tcmng wife. L beli a somewhat more pro
saic, s'lggested that It win a mere family
jar between hrsband and wife, and that
bernaps the old woman had imbibed a
trifle too much. So we talked and specu
lated upon thecal until the first gray
freaks of dawn beean to liht the eastern
horizon. We looked in the direction of
the wapon, and at once discerned sins of
Bto A lire tiad been lit on the creek
bnk, and we could jixst make out tha out
line, of a man's form ajrainst the flames.
Prescntlv we saw the figure leave the fire
nnd walk slowly in out direction, rifle in
hand We rArefully kioked to our wep.,v
cms, and awaited resulte with ftist-beatiu
lirlngine the relief we felt when, on the
nearer approach of the rifle-bearing form,
we recognized tbe countenance of Pen
Collins, the Marshal of Plait.sbnrg. "We
boh started out to meet him, and after
takirs a puli at a fla-.k that he produced,
and handing it around, he eaid : I got oli
the road few night, got lost in the storm,
j wd had to cuniji out Were you the
I Cha ,s that came around the wagon la-t

twelve miles from here, wfth a cra.y
woman that I had to take to Napa, r-he
. finiet enough, and I Uok lo trouble
to haii-l-cntl her, but somehow the thurIer
ecmcd to rin the very old boy with her.
Juf-t as I had decided that it was no ne
going any fnrthor in tbe rain, ar.d was
tnlun; to make the poor woman as com
fortable as possible, she sprang on me from
behind and clutched mo by the throat
wifa both banc1.!", and it was all I could . o
to stop her from choking me to death, for
eho's a woman that weighs ore hui drtd
and sixty or more, and these crazy folks
are an stroi- "8 mujes for a spurt- At
last, however, I fchook her off, was pio
cet die to rut on lhe bracelets, when she
ycilcd nt blue murder, and I guess you
be:i.rd her."
We returned wiih Hen and took a look
at the crazy virago. She was a Mexican
woman, alout forty years of age, and sttl
wart as a man. Wken she saw u she tor
fisted that she had been stolen from home
by brigands, and got so excited that we
left, and, wishing Collide Rood luck with
his nnoanny charge, started off on our
road to Indian Gulch and fortune. A
month let ns out there, a we could not
even strike pay dirt, but I shall always re
member that night at Mie de.eited cabin.
BREAKING THE BRONCHO.
A Ko-UsUo Sketch f one th" 1utl
of e. Cowboy.
About the 10th of May the foreman of
a cow outfit la m the nearest town, birmp
hie men and loading a freight tvam wltn
provisions. The men go out to the tzncU
Ith him, and two or three days before,
the round up, which la usually to the lattt't
half of May, the horses are mustered and
divided among the men. The ponies thaj
have been running on the ranae througB
the winter are thrown to wttli whatever
fresh colts the outfit has purchased, ana
the men U proceed to the corral. The
boss first attenda to the riders who were
With him the year before. i
Tex, what dirt you ride T"
Coon, Scurro, Pete, Loco, Gotch, Paddy
all there is here. Red Cloud waa sold with
the culls and Jaybird ain't been found yet.
Well, throw your tup on that glass-eyea
pinto next to the bars there, and I'll give
you an old nn too."
a.-.iietrieroviBoeBonassJgningthe horse
Tex coils up bis 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,
I and he pulls enough slack through it to
' make a loop fifteen or twenty feet in cir
1 cumference. Holding the coil in hia left
1 hand, he grasps the rope just outside the
! loop and holds it to hii right hand, doubled
i back on the loop. Then he throws the
i loop out behind him and shouts to the colt,
who maka a dah along the side of tha
I corral Ai ha passes Tex throws the loop
! overhand and lerks it tant as it falls ove
1 the pony'e head. The frightened colt runa
; to the end of the topo at full speed, and
meanwhile Tex crouches on the ground,
1 with Mb weight thrown bnck on the rope.
! The pony "changes ends" with a jerk thatl
almost breaks his reok. and then Tex runs
I np to ham elaok and starts him again, and
! after the performance has been gone
i through a doxen times the pony haB learned
not to "run on a rope," and the first step
,..ri yc twVnenthm la accomnlif hed. He
to then named. This U a subject for des
bate, and Tex finally decides on "Streaks"
', as appropriate for a "painty at piebold
: horse, Slreik la lead out of tie corrat
' and while one of the other boya holds the
, rope, Tex takes another rope, ancl as tha
I pony runs past him. snares hia fofe foe,
andihrows bimontho ground. Thie sec
ond rope la passed to another man, who
' holds U so that Oio pony is powerless.
Blanket and sadillo are hitched on, and
the backAmore," a sort of halter with a
iose piece that will draw tightly when
pulled, ie put on. To this is added a horses
hair rope, called a ruacane, nuu
handkerchief has been placed over tha
pony's eyes the other loops aro loosed.
Streaks plnngss to his feet and run? on the
xnacarte. This be finds even more unpro
fitable than running on the riata, for tha
noose piece brings him up all standing,
"When he is quiet enough to approach Tex
ties the macarte so as to make reins and
throws hinuiGlf into the saddle. Streak
looks as if he meant michetf, and the by.
standers climb up on the corral to be ouf
of harm's way. Sometimes a mounted
man is at hand to "haze" tho broncho and
keep him from mnidug tlironh a wire
(Ann nr smiiMbiiisr into a wagon. Te
reaehes over and raises the blind, and then
the fun begirs. Streaks stands still for a
rnoLnint, and then mokes a mad plunge
into the air and lands on hid stiffened
fore legs, with bis nose almost on the
grouud. Tex has balanced himself and
returns the compliment with a touch of
the spur. Streams make a succession ol
swift plunges, clianing ends at every
Jump and .striking tho ground like a street
paver's rammer.
The boys shout encouragingly, "Sit Urq
fleap, Tex." -California him," "Hang and
rattle," -Set hlui afire," "Look for a
prickly pear to liht on," "Mind that
prairie dog town." Te.x plies spur and
euerto, shontirg "I-i-c-a-a," a tallsmaiiic
word of much rt-ptte among "broncho
busters." Streak this that bucking is no
use, and he suddenly rears and falw ox?T
backwaril, driving i he horn of the saddle
into the i-ToMi il. He looks to enjoy the
fight of Tex'.- 1'.: -I. .-a h'xiy. but Tex la
s-trtiidirtr by hir 1 end with the coil of the

Tbe county Institute was held during tbe
last week of November, 1885. Unfortu
nately for onr teachers the first severe snow
storm of the season prevailed during tbe en
tire week, and the attendance was not up
to former years. Our live, progressive
teachers fully realize the importance of the
Annual Institute. T!ie attendance has
been gradually Increasing and we are In a
position to know that the county Institute
has done much to Improve the character of
the work of our schools. Local institutes
and educational meetings may more directly
aid inexperienced teachers, yet our annual
county institute is Instrumental In quicken

ly to have the institute for 181 held before
the general opening of 'the schools. This
request was in accord with my own opinion
and the Institute Tor the present school
year will be held in October. In 1883 and
1884, our institotes were neia in uciouer
ani they were the largest meetings ever
held iu 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
ing throughout the State and the teachers
of Cambria county must not neglect their
local organizations for mutual improve
ment. ArW dav excercises have not been
generally observed in this county. A num
ber of trees have been planted in borough
school properties. Until school lots are
fenced and nroperly cared for but little
attention will be paid to the planting of
treps.
Tysiology, the new branch of: study was
indroduced In all parts or the county. It
was very imperfectly taught, however, in
many schools; teachers must now uodergo j
an examination in this branch and we ex-
pect to see the subject more thoroughly ,
taught and result more satisfactorily. j
During the past year I made two hnn

have been attending our State Normal

Our teachers have generally been earnest
and faithful in their work. It is true, there
have been failures on the part of teachers,
yet I fully believe thstour teachers did bet

low salaries and unfavorable surrounding.
Uachers are seeking to do their duty and

working just as hard and doing as much j
good as the more Tavored teachers in town j
and borough schools, but these successful ;
teachers generally seek for positions having i
better wages and lonaer terms. .
It is to be regretted that so many of our j
most successful teachers quit the profession, j
When our people take a correct vlpw of
schools ani the work of teachers they will
appreciate the labors of the trne teacher
and proper remuneration will follow. There
is no class of people do'ng more good for
the welfare of 1 umanity hnn the common
school teacher.
It requires constant and crntinued pre
paration nn the part of teachers to keep
pace with new measures and methods of
school work. "He must upward still and
onward who would kppp abreast of truth."
'New occasions teach new duties; Time
makes sreient good unennth ; thev must
upward stilljand or.ward who wonld kep
Hrpt the truth." Oo to the omee oi rne
minuter, the lawyer, the physician, and
every othpr prcfpssional man, and yon will
find volume of books relating to his pro
fession. Our teachers should not only read
edncntional books and paper", but trior
onchly invpsfi'rafe snd irootndiv ffu.fj ,fl
works of onr leadPTS in education who have
devoted their l'ves to the stndv and investi
gation of correct principles of teaching.
F.verv teacher shonld read onr leading edu
cational papers and add a few volumes an
nually to his library. Mary of our teacher
merit praise for their earnest efforts and de
votion to their duty. Many spend 'heir
winter's salsrv in attending school during
the summer in order to better qualify them
selves for the next term. Energetic teach
ers read, think, generate ideas, create new
purp.iseo. and crown tbeir lives and tbe
lives of tbeir pupils with success.
The standard of qualifiVatione of teachers
has been gradtial y raised, the examinations
made more rigid in order to encourage the
most worthy and select the best qualified
teachers.
In out efforts to assist our teachers, im
prove the quality of teaching, and increase
th effieienok- of our schools, we have been
at ly supported by our leading teachers and

While g.ving this information, the
result of much talk on both sides, Mr.
Mather courteously showed tish eggs ;
demonstrated how the currents In the
troughs wore controlled ; illustrated how
eggs were count nd by measuring the
bulk of a given nurrd-er in a g ass, and
bow frv wi re counted by soM.ping them
up on a flat, fan-like net" and guessing at
their number ; enai ped up startled little
fishes into a glass tube to show what
thev looked like, and seized upon a stray
caddis worm as a subject for digressive
remarks as to how mucii K-tter-iooking
he would be whn he climbed out of
Ms little reed house to lcome a ny.
and how much a trout would like him
In either stage of his existence.
The several smelt egg were de
tached from tie murky mas in one ot
the jars and laid in a crystal saucer in a
few drops of water. There they looked
like atoms of tho clearest glass. Vnder
the microscope the fish was clearly vis
ible. The eve were big and staring, and
the outltnes of head, body, and tail were
discernible. Hut when it is hatched out
it will le vorv large comparatively al
most as big as one ot the wigglem"

Having the microscope in hand. Mr.
Mather iops his test tul-e into another
jar ami brings out a double-Uirro:id
balinon fjr iu-qootion. It has two best is,
two tails, an! one abdominal sac con
necting two bodies A good many salmon
rggs develop such monstrosities. Some
times the freak consists cd two tail and
one hea l, and again cf two heads and
one tail. They ali die just as soon as the
abdominal sac i absorl--l-

Lat vear," sail Mr. Mnthor, "we
hatched a'gteat many oysters in otir salt
water por.u-. The voting cys.t.-rs batch
out in about five days and swim for two
or three davs -fore they acquire steady
habits, leave off a roving l.Io an J settle
down.
' We have hutched shad M re, In spring
water, in :;r. In the summer of 'KX we
hatched fto. Ol and planto 1 thf-m in the
river at Smithtown. Whether they cine
Kac k the next season or not wo do not
know. Itut if our young shad did pot
return to Smithtown they wont some
where else and sometody got the beuetit
of them, or will do so.
