Tho cat struck Leo with such force that It knocked him down. Immediately the two dogs flew at tho animal to protect their master, and a terrlflo rough-and-tumble light fol lowed. Tho dogs made It so hot for the cat that It ran iid another tree, and Lee shot It dead. It weighed thirty eight pounds. ANOTHER DREAM VANISHES. Tho current report, that the Erin Ilallroad company wns about to build a short cut across Wayne county from Lncknwnxen to Honesdale, nnd another from somewhere ncross to Owego, to shorten tho main line of the road, be tween New York and Chlcnco, Is pro nounced by Secretary Mlddleton, of tho Erie, to have no foundation. Thus, by one fell blow, the pet do. luslon of Bre'r Haines, of the Hones dale Independent, Is knocked hlgher'n Gllroy's kite. It deserved a better fute. R. I. P. I SEVERAL SIDE ISSUES.

Two Mormon elders n few days ago visited the old McKuno homestead, In Oakland township, where Joe Smith and his pals translated (?) the Book of Mormon. Land hns not yet been purchased In Susquehanna county for that proposed state hospital. Let us indulge Uih hope that the proposed asylum was not for public purposes only. A prominent Lackawanna county railroad man, who Is something of a prophet and seer, predicts that the Tunkhannock, Nicholson and Lanes boro railroad will be built In less than five years.

Ills nearest neighbor, a mile away, will have a leech farm. It will be the only one In the country. The industry will be carried on In moss-fllled vats. A Brooklyn man expects to have -a rabbit farm. The first year he expects to raise 100.000 rabbits. The meat will bo edible, and the pelts will bo In great demand, and many of tho rabbits will bo sold ns pets. A Lynn fnrmer will have a skunk farm. lie expects to have a thousand of tho night-blooming scriouscs the first year. Quite a num ber of Great Bend township farmer will raise peppermint.

It Is said that an earnest effort will be made to secure the passnge of a bill in the leglslature.provldlng for the pay ment by the state Into the treasury of Susquehanna county, of tho large sum of money paid the state by tho Erie Rallwny company, as bonus. Susque hanna county's claim nppears to be a Just one. It Is thought that quite a largo num ber of Lackawanna railroad men, re siding In Hallstead, will eventually bo compelled to remove to Elmlra, on no count of the recent changes In their runs. Many of them are property own ers. A number of extra large switching locomotives are being built In the Sus quehanna shops, for use In the Jersey City yards. It appears that thieves have been systematically robbing Erie locomo tives, all along the line, of copper pipes, for which thev receive seventeen cents per pound.
