TI1E HAUNTED MOOSE.
A friend of ours, says the Albany Tribune,
Bob II., daring the late cold terra, thought he
would go into Hamilton and have a moose
hunt. He left the city in company with six
other gentlemen, on Wednesday of last week.
After a ride of about twenty-four hours, they
reached the borders of the great wilderness.
Raving put up their horses and sleigh at the
last Uvern, they started out for a week's sport
in the woods, the second day in the wilder
ness, our friend and party tiUi ted a moose of
first class proportions. They sighted him a-
bout noon, and kept on bis track till about 3
o'clock, P. M., when the party informed Bob
that they were completely tired out, and they
intended to take the back track for the shanty
and have dinner.
Our friend said : "Very well, go back if you
Mease. As for me. I'll have that moose or
perish in the attempt." The party went back
and Bob went ahead. He kept up the chaso
till nearly dusk, when he got sufficiently Dear
the critter to cive him condizn. He was a
u
glorious fellow. Like Franff Granger, "six
feet high and well proportioned." Bob was
rejoiced at bis success. But his pleasure had
one draw-back, "what could he do with him 1"
Another source of uneasiness was tho exces
eive cold, and tho distance from the shanty,
some eight miles. While philosophising upon
ms roily, mgnt came on, ana as there was no
such a thing as getting up a fire, he was at his
wit's end to keep from freezing. At last he
bit upon an expedient.
lie cut open tne moose, took out its en-
trail's, and crawled in and lay down. Tho an:
nial heat kept him as warm as "pepper sass,'
till about midnight, when he fell asleep. II
awoke about sunrise, and thought he would
crawl out and start back to his friends. There
was one pull back to this arrangement. After
the beat had left the moose, he had fiozen as
stiff as a post, an operation that subjected Bob
to as rigid a confinement as if he had been
locked up in a Bastile. Bob endeavored to cut
himself out with a knife. But it was no go
He might as well have undertaken to whittle
granite Bob spent a most melancholy day,
and finally worried nature into a sound sleep.
While thus unconscious, a company of nun
ters came along, discovered the moose, fasten
ed a rope to his legs, and set about dragging
him out of the woods. This movement awak
ened Bob, who thought he was getting haunt
ed, and, therefore, commenced hallooing for
help. Such a noise coming from a dead moose,
excited the superstition of the hunters to such
a degree that they abandoned their prize and
fled as if the devil was after them. After run
ning about three miles they met Bub's friends,
who had been out all day trying to discover
his whereabouts. The hunters told the story
of tho haunted moose and the strange noise
which came from his abdomen. Bob's friends
smiled.
They requested the hunters to return. In a
half hour the "haunted moose" was reached.
Tho friends halloed "Bob!" Bob halloed
"here !" The friends said : "we aro going to
cnt, look out for the axe." Bob said : "let
drive, better have a damaged head than legs
made of icicles." The adventure has made
an impression on Robert. He says the next
time he sleeps inside of a moose, he will take
good care that it has "leather hinges on its
back."
A MODERN W.1I. TELL
The following piece of daring sport is t elated
by the Albany Transcript:
The feat in shooting performed by Tell in
ehooting an apple off tho head of his son, has
been told over and over again, and is as famil
liar aa household words, was a wonderful piece
of execution, close calculation and great dar
ing. Something similar was attempted and
successfully performed in the village of 1'ilts
town, Renscllaer connty, about a week since.
The circumstance was related to us hs follows:
There had btcn a turkey shooting, at which
several "crack shots" had assisted after the
hooting was over, the crowd adjourned to tho
tavern; numerous drinks were called for and
put out of sight, and the whole party some
wnat elated, commenced talking about Tell
when one of the party, by the name of Horace
W. Wadsworth, remarked that he was as good
a shot as ever Tell was, and said he 'find me
mac, and 1 11 prove it," whereupon Alonzo
Grogan stepped forward and caid, "I'm the
man for you to practice upon," "Very well
said W., "get an apple, and I'll try it.
Search was made for an apple, but not finding
one readily, a potato was substituted, and the
crowd adjourned from the barroom to the yard
The distance was pacod. Grogan took his
place, with bis cap off and potato on his head
when Wadsworth deliberately raised his rifle
drew a fine shot on the potato, and discbare
sd his piece arm's length. No one expected
that ho would do it, and for a moment constcr-
oation was depicted on the countenances of
all the bystanders, until Grogan putting his
band on his head, said in an agonizing tone,
"Am I dead 7" "Is there any blood V
It was found that Grogan was not dead, but
that the potato had been cut, iu twain,; and
that no blood had been drawn, though a ridge
about the size or a person a finger had been
raised on the lop of his head by the force of
the ball. .
Grogan, who did not think that Wadsworth
would Are, was seriously alarmed for a few
minutes afterwards, as he believed that his
cull was split. He says that if any smart
hot want to practice shooting potatoes ofl
any person's head, they must find romc one
beside him to bo the target.
TVby is the life of an editor like tho Book
of Revelations? Because it is full of types
and shadows, and a mighty voice,- like the
onndof many waters, is ever saying to Mm,
write.
H has been discovered that the Tespoctablo
andworld-renownod monarch, Old King Cole;
was decendant of Anthracite, and that hia
jelly eld oul was notbirj but shoe leather.

IMPORTANT TO HOUSEKEEPERS and
FRUIT GROWERS. ARTHUR'S PAT
eat Air-Tight Self-Sealing Cans and Jars, for
Preserving Fresh Fruit a, La. This invention for
which a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to the attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and the effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and nscful object
The cans and jars are constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the top, into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it is only w.ceesary to heat the
cover slightly, and press it into place. It may be
epened with as much case as it is closed, by slight
ly warming the top. lhe ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose for which this is intended,
cannot be closed, as is well known without the aid
of & tinnsr; are difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to be useless for
future service.
By this simple contrivance, the process of hcr
metical sealing is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) maybe kept
with their natural flavor unimpaired, lor an in
definite length of time. For sale bv
