A FIGHT IN TILE WOODS.
Some years ago, while In the northern part
of Maine, I spent the month of September and
a portion of October, at a "hay farm" on the
borders of Chamberlain lake—lake Apsnoo
gengsmook, the Indians used to call it. The
whole region was almost an unbroken' wil
derness. Game was plenty, and by way of
recreation from my duties of assistant engi•
neer, I had set up a " line of traps" for mink
and sable—"saple," as old trappers say—along
a small but very rapid, noisy stream called
Bear Brook, which comes down Into the lake
through a gorge between two high, spruce clad
mountains.
Huge boulders had rolled down the aides,
and lay piled along the bed of the gorge.
,The
brook which was the outlet of a small pond,
pent up among the ridges above, foamed, and
roared, and gurgled down among rocks shaded
by thick, black spruces, which leaned out
from the sides of the raving.
It was a wild place. I had stumbled upon
It one afternoon while hunting a caribou (a
kind of deer) some weeks before, and knew it
must he good trapping ground ; for the rocks,
and clear black pools—in short the whole
place had that peculiar, fishy smell which be
spoke an abundance of trout ; and where trout
abound there are sure to be mink.
My traps were of that sort which hunters
call " figure-four" traps, made of stakes and
poles, with a figure-four spring. Perhaps
some of our boy readers may have caught
squirrels in that way. For bait I used trout
front the brook. I carried my hook and line
with me, and after a"tting a trap, threw in my
hook and pulled out trout enough to bait it.
My line extended about a mile up the gorge,
and comprised some twenty five or thirty
traps.
After setting them, I shot a number of red
squirrels for a drag," and thus connected
the traps together. Perhaps I should explain
that a drag is a bundle of squirrels or partridges
newly killed, and from which the blood is
dripping, which are dragged along by a white
from trap to trap, to make a trail and sccnt,so
that the mink and sable whl follow it.
It is customary to visit mink traps once in
two or three days. But as I had plenty of
time just then, I went to mine every after-
noon.
During the first week after setting them I
had excellent luck. I caught eleven minks
and three sables—about, fifty dollars' worth, as
I reckoned: t. My hopes of making a small
fortune in the fur business were very sanguine,
until ono morning I found every trap torn up.
The poles and stakes were scattered over the
ground, spindles were broken to pieces, and
at one or two places where there had been a
mink in the trap, the head and bits of fur were
lying about as if it bad been devoured.
At first I thought that peritapasome fellow
who bad intended to trap there had done the
mischief to drive Me away (a very common
trick among rival trappers); but when I saw
that the minks had been torn to pieces, I knew
the destruction was the work of some animal
—a fisher,. mostlikely, or as some call it a
"black cat."
I had never seen one of these creatures, but
had often heard hunters and trappers tell what
pests they were—following them on their
rounds, robbing and tearing up their traps at
most as rapidly as they could set them. In
deed, I had read in Baird's —I believe that it
was Baird's—Works on Natural History, that
that the fisher-cat, or mu.stein canadensia, is a
very tierce, carnivorous animal of the weasel
meat detormilwri flvhtor
than a match for a common fighter.
Well, I had nothing to do but set the traps
again, a task Which I did in the course of the
day, really hoping that the beast had merely
paid the place a transient visit, and gone on
upon his wanderings.
But the next morning showed my hopes
were vain, for he had "gone through" my
line again and every trap was upset. IL really
seemed as if the "varmint" had taken a mali
cious delight in tearing th2m to pieces. At
one of the traps a fine sable had been caught,
and as if for very mischief, the marauder had
turn the beautiful skin, which was worth ten
or a dozen dollars, to shreds.
Surely, if there is a business in the world
that demands patience and perseverance, it is
trapping. At least it took about all I could
summon to go resignedly to work, make new
spindlas, catch fresh bait, and set the traps
again, especially with the prospect of having
the same task to perform the next morning.
went at it, however, and by 11. o'clock had
ietn all set save one, the upper one, where
the sable had been caught, when, nn approach
ing it through the thick spruces, I saw a large
raccoon gnawing the sable's head. Seeing
me at the same instant, he caught up the head,
and, before I could unsling my gun, scuttled
away out of sight.
Was it possible that a 'coon had been doing
all this mischief? I knew them to be adepts.
at a variety of woods•tricks, but had never
heard of their robbing traps before. Here was
one caught gnawing a sable's head in the
vicinity of the broken traps. Circumstantial
evidence, as they say .in mind, waa strong
against Win.
I determined to watch--that trap at least
Going over to our camp on the lake, I took
a hasty lunch, and putting a fresh charge Into
my gun, Went back to the ravine. A few
rods froth the place where I had surprised the
coon, there was n thick clump of low spruces.
Here I hid myself and began,my watch.
The afterribon dragged away. Cows and
hawks cawed and screamed ; and
squirrels chickered and ehirred ; but no ani•
mal came near the traps. The sun was set
ting behind the high black mountains, and
twilight began to dim the narrow valley.
Thinking I had had my labor for my pains,
I was about crawling out of my hiding•placo,
when a twig snapped in the direetioll of the
traps, and turning quickly, I saw the 'coon
coming up the bank of the brook, the same
one, I was sure, that I had seen before, be
cause its unusual size.
With a glance arrund, to see that there was
no danger near, it hambled along to the spot
where the sable's head had been, and began
sniffling at the shreds and bits of fur which
lay about. Wishing to see if ho would touch
the trap, I did not stir, but watched his move•
ments.
After picking up the bits of skin, ho walked
round the trap several times, with his queer,
quizzical lace askew, examining it. Then
happening to scent one of the sable's legs
which lay at a distance, he ran to it, and be
gan to eat it. I could hear his sharp teeth
upon the bones. Suddenly he stopped, lis
tened, then growled. Very much to my sur
prise, there was an answering growl. Then
another ant another response. In a moment
more, from behind a great rock in tue bank,
there stole out a large, black animal, an ob-

ject of the 'coon'sutter abhorrence, evidently.
Fresh growls greeted the appearance of the
intruder, who came stealthily forward. Ile
was a wicked-looking fellow, and had evi
dently .hostile intentions.
The 'coon rose to his feet, lifted his back
like a bear or a cat, and growled all the while.
The newcomer crouched almost to the earth,
but continued to steal up to the 'coon until
within a yard or two.
There they stood facing each other, getting
more angry every moment, and evidently in
tended to have a big " setto." I had no wish
to interfere, and was content to remain aspen
tor. The two thieves Might settle their quar
rels between themselves. I wasn't nt all cer-
twin to which of them I stood indebted for my
extra labor, and concluded to keep my charge
of shot for whicheter of them survived the
fray.
The growls rose to shrieks ; the fisher, .for
such I Judged it to be, wtiggllng his bit&
tall, and the 'coon getting his back still high,r.
Then came a sudden grab, quick as a flesh,
and a prodigious scuffle. Over and over they
rolled, grappling and tearing ; now the gray
tail would whisk up in sight, then the black
one. The fur flew, and that strong, disagree
able odor, sometimes notieml when a cat spits,
was wafted out to my hiding-place.
It was hard to tell which was the best
fighter. Gray fur and black lot — seemed to be
getting torn out In about equal snatches. Sud
denly, the 'coon got away from his antagonist
and running to the foot of a great spruce tree,
standing near, want like dart up the trunk to
the lower limbs. There he laced about.
The fisher followed to the tree and looked
up. Ile saw his late foe, growled and then
began to crawl after him. He was not so
good a climber as the 'coon, but scratched his
way up with true weasel determination.
The moment he came within reach, the rac•
coon jumpedat him, regardless of the height
from the ground, and fast, ned upon his back.
The shock caused the fisher to lose his hold,
and down both animals dropped with tremen-.
dons force, sufficient to shock the breath out
of them, I thought. But they clung to each
other, and dug and bit with the fury of man
iacs. 'Coons are noted fighters; and es,. for
the o llashers, they never; give up while the ;
breath of life is in them.
Presently the 'coon broke away again and
and once more ran to the tree, this time going
up its trunk, out of sight, among the branches
at the top. It looked as if he was about get
ting all the tight he cared to have. .
Not so with the big weasel. Ile instantly
fidlowed his antagonist, clumsily clawing his
way up the trunk. It took him smile time to
reach the top, but he got there at last. An
other grapple ensued among the very topmost
boughs, and they both came tumbling to the
ground, catching at the limbs as they fell; but
grappling afresh, thep rooled down the steep
bank to the edge of the water.
Meanwhile it ban grown so dark that I
could but just see their writhing forms. The
growling, grappling sound continued,. how
ever, and I could • hear them splash in the
water. Then there came a lull. One or the
other had "given in," I felt sure. Which was
the victor?
Cocking my gun, I crept to the bank. As
nearly as I could make out the situation, the
fisher was holdtng the 'coon by the throat.
I took a step forward. A twig snapped un
der my loot. Instantlp a pair of fiery eyes
glared up at me in the gloom; and .with a
harsh snarl the fisher raised himself. But the
'coda didn't stir; he was dead.
It seemed almost too bad to shoot the victor
of so desperate a fight; but thinking of my
traps, I hardened my heart and fired. The
fisher reared up, fell over, then recovering its
legs, leaped at me with all the ferocity of its
blood.thirsty race. But the heavy buckshot
had surely done it work, and, with another
attempt to spring at me, the animal fell back
dead.
I had no more trouble with my traps
A Scone in an Editor's Sanctum
The Philadelphia Dispatch condescends to
perpetrate the following :
A. week or two ago one of our reporters had
oocasimi an n onl!0.• 11. nrrinn whim.
we will call Hannah Smith, as a denizen of
the Tenth Wiled. A (lay or two afterward a
huge man entered the office with his brow
clothed with thunder. In his hand he carried
a fearful club, and at his side trotted a bulldag
whom hunger evidently had made desperate.
\% lilt that quirk apprt elation of the situation
which is creditable to the superior intelligence
of educated men, the editor of this paper and
the proprietors darted to the window, climbed
outside, and slid down the lightning rod, and
went across the street to watch the bloudy
fray through a spy-glass. With the fearless
ness of conscious innocence, we sat still,
merely inserting our legs in two sections nt
stovepipe, to guard against misapprehension
of facts on the part of the bulldog. The man
with the club approached.
"Are you the editor?" he asked, spitting
nn his hand and grasping his club. We told
him the editor was out; that he had gone to
the North Pole ss ith Captain Ilan, and that la
would not return before 1870, in time for the
centennial celebration.
I=
"Are you the proprietor?" asked the man.
We explained to him that wo were not ; tho.
Oho proprietors were also out ; that they had
gone to South America for the purpose of in
vestigating the curative' properties of cundm
range, and they expected to remain thero tut
several years.
" Well, whoever you arc,'' exclaimed the
warrior, "my name . is Smith !"
We told him we were glad; because, if there
was one thing better than the possession Mille
none of Smith, it was the privilege of know
ing n man of that name. "But Smitlb" we
said. "Why this battle array? It is absurd
for a man to put on the panoply of war, and
frisk into an editor's sanctum fumbling a
a club and accompanied by a disheartening
bull-dog, simply because his name 'happens to
he Smith."
Ile said he had called in to burst the head o
he man who had insulted his sister.
"It is impossible, Smith, that such a thing
could have been dime by any one In this
office."
"Is. but it was though; and her name was
published, too. 31iss Smith—Miss Haulier
Smith." •
" May we be permitted to inquire, Mr.
Smith, what was the precise character of the
affront offered to Hannah ?"
" Well, you see," still Smith, " the Wack
nard said she was a denizen, and I want you
to understand," exclaimed Smith, becoming
excited, and brandishing his club in a wild
manner, while, the bulldog advanced nud
commenced to iP niff up and down our stove
pipe, " I want , you to understand that she is a
decent young woman with a good character,
and nene of your_ denizens and such truck.
,The man who says she is a denizen is a black•
guard and thief, and I'll smash him over the
nose if I get a chance. They may say what
they please about me, but the man who
abuses my sister has got to suffer." And
Smith struck the table in a violent manner
with his club, while the bulldog but his fore•
legs on the back of our chair.
We pacified Smith with a dictionary. We
pointed Out to that raging warrior that the
Websterian definition of the word "denizen"
gives such a person an unoffending character,
and deprives the term of everything like re
proach. Smith said he was satisfied, and he
shook hands and kicked the bull-dog down
stairs. The editor and proprietor, seeing that
all was safe, immediately climbed the light
ning rod and soon appeared at the window,
where they were introduced to Smith, with
the remark that they had returned from the
North pole and the clime of the cundurango
somewhat unexpectedly, in order to surprise
their relations.
And now we suppose Smith will be mad
because we told this story about him, and lie
will be coming down to interview us again in
war's magnificent array, with a fresh bull dog.
But it will be In vain. We have rented an
office in the top of the shot,tower, and have
planted torpedoes and spring guns all the way
up stairs. Wu warn this incendiary, Smith,
to bemire.

Surface Movements of the Earth.
The old geological theory that from time to
time the surface of our earth has been chang
ed by grand catastrophes, which, destroying
plants and animals, were, on an immense scale,
similar to the local catastrophes produced by
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, has been
abandoned by reason of our more correct
knowledge, founded on careful observations
which investigators have been making for
many years. These observations have proved
that sudden catastrophes are always merely
local ; but that all the great changes in the
surface of the earth, as the upheaval of moun
tain ranges and the depression of valleys and
their ultimate change into lakes an'l oceans,
are gradual and go always on, even at the
present day. The mountains bordering the
Pacific Ocean—in fact, the whole coast of Cal
ifornia—are perpetually rising, and have prob
ably been doing so for half a million of years,
while all the land containing in its bosom our
great American lakes is slowly sinking, with •
a probable corresponding upheaval of the
State of Kentucky, of Southern Indiana and
the surrounding countries. Geological inves
tigations prove that once our lakes had their
outlets south, till by depression at the north a
new outlet was first formed about forty thou
sand years ago, through Niagara to the St.
Lawrence river. The division line of the
water shed of the lakes and the Mississippi
valley has been slowly traveling southward
since that time; and when the city of Chica
go recently turned the waters of Lake Michi
gan up the Chicago river into the Mississippi
valley, she simply re-established time old state
of affairs, which if the motion in question con
tinues, will be more difficult to maintain in the
future than it is now. Fortunately, this mo
tion Is very slow, and only a very remote pos
terity, some thousands. of years hence; will
meet with the difficulties we now foresee,
when the bed of the Chicago river becomes
lower and lower at its junction with Lake rill-
chigan.
It appears, further, that the State of New
Jersey is sinking. and this 'seven participated
in by the city of New York, Brooklyn, Long
Island, &c., at the rate of some sixteen or
seventeen inches per century. This is insig
nificant, to be sure; but let it only go on for
a thousand years and it is some fifteen feet,so
that the new stone docks now commenced in
New York city at that time will be totally
submerged ; but then they will probably •not
last so long, and the soil of the lower part of
the city niav be very easily raised half a foot

Correct data may be obtained at the seashore,
as t'le main height of the ocean possesses a
perfect stability. This main height Is, of I
course, obtained by continual observation of

anywhere the highest tides reach a higher ,
level than they did one hundred or two hun

As it was, the vote was unusually large and
practically fair. Terror reigned in the minds
of the lawless men who bare been accustomed
to debauch the franchiee and arrange the can.
vass to suit their own base will. They saw
that New York, generally so cold, apathetic
and dormant in the presence of crime, was
disposed to be offended. The great city was
angry, and many of them knew .from expert
ence what a great city in its anger would do.
They remembered San Francisco.
