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- STEW ART'S Marbleized Slate MANTELS.

(ME= T 1 ED EMANN 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.

Thence still moving further northward, It.. reached Fraser River, when the excitement ab ant the aurife row; yield of that locality was at its height,and there succeeded in digging no less than "100 ounces of the precious dust, which he at once sent to his wife and d b rother in San Francisco.

Tin: October exports of the port of Phila delphia furnish a gratifying exhibit. They bring $2,607,740 against $1,712,732 last year., a gain of $894,088 for the the month. And while $172,129 of this increased export was gained by foreign tonnage, the residue, amounting to $522,8590 r $50,730 more than half of the whole increment, was won by American ships. The gain or this last month is 'equivalent to half of all the business a year. ago, and the gain of American tonnage is pro• portioned to the net gain. The arrivals were 137 less, but there were 29 more front foreigh ports, with larger tonnage to compensate the momentary decline in coastwise bus:ness. In ships, steamships and barks alone the last mouth reported 48 arrivals against 21 In 1870. The cause and result of this increase is the fact that the petroleum export up to the cur rent month has amounted to .19.587,243 gal. lons, worth $11,234,221, nu Increase of 5,138,- 670 gallons over last year, and 21,002,800 over 1809, and of $731,039 and $3,011,149 iu value.

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 every thirty years. It is evident that the most 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 the tides under different circumstances, and if anywhere the highest tides reach a higher , level than they did one hundred or two hun dred years ago, it is proof of depression or sinking of the land. This depression is going on along the coast nt• Nothern France, Belgium, Holland and Nortliwtst Germany, while the coast of Swe den, along the Baltic, is slowly rising, Includ ing the capitol of Sweden, the city of Stock• holm. The latest scientiillc journals report to very striking contemporary upheavals In Spain, entirely authentic.

In the province of Jamora, It is observed that the village of Valet. don Diego, it is now pos. to see the upper half of the church-steeple of lleniftuttes, in the province of Valladolid; whereas, twenty-three years ago, the summit of this steeple could only just be perceived. The same thing occurs to the same degree and under the sam.. circumstances in the pro vince of Alava, where, from the village of Salvatierra, the whole of the village of Saltine nade can now be seen, while in 1847 the vane of the church steeple could hardly be perceiv ed. These four points are on a line parallel to the system of the Sanserrols mountains, while the extreme points are 140 miles- apart. All the movement we speak of here have nothing to do with volcanic eruptions ; they are, of course, caused by changed conditions of the Interior of the earth's mass, which by these facts is proved not to be solid, the opin ion of some moders geologists notwithstand ing; the earth, if not liquid inside, must at least be soft and plastic, in order to make depressions in one place with simultaneous elevations in another. One other interesting fact we must mention in this connection ; it is that the highest mountains arc not the oldest, as one would naturally suppose, but belong to the systems Last elexrted ; so time high Swiss Alps are much younger than the lower Jura, and the Cat skills younger than the lower Shawangunk mountains.—The Manufacturer and Builder.
