Ingham while out gunning on Tuesday accompanied by his-dog shot a very large cata mount on the John Reynold's farm near the old Davidson road. Tlie dog had pursued it for some little time and during the chase Frank shot at it four times, the last taking effect in the leg. The cat ran a short dis tance from where it was wounded and treed under a log when the dog not knowing the nature of the beast made a lunge for it and was fearfully cut about the head by the large and sharp claws of fhe cat. The dog made a retreat to the top of the log and awaited his masters coining. When Frank had advanced to with in several feet of the beast he raised his head over the log growlicjg and showing his teeth in an ugly fanner- The hunter took aim with tine shot and excavated a hole in the »nimals head as large as the muzzle pf his gun.

EDITOR: —Wo have read 0011- 'siderable in your paper, (editori ally or otherwise) about "side walks to the school house"for the children |in the Ist Ward. Periisps you are | not aware that the borough council i have overstepped their power b}' al ready accepting more road Bills, j and granting orders for the same, | than the amount which belongs to j that part of the borough and would j suggest that if "a majority of our people" are so anxious to have a i sidewalk, they would not be the I first party in the borough to do a 'little work on the roads at their own expense. | There is a certain class of people! in our town who spend a good part of their time talking about their .neighbors. Such people are a dis grace to a community. I SCHOOL DIRECTOR and COUNCILMAN. The majority of our town readers | are knowing of the fact that new 'side walks constructed in LuPorte j are built at the expense of property iowners by which said walk passes; said property owners are also at the expense of keeping in repair said walks, hence no levy is made upon j taxes collected by the borough for the building of side walks in either : the Ist or 2nd Ward, of this city. Should the council approve the construction o( a walk to the new school house which is greatly need ed and choose King St., tor the site of the same the following individuals would be at the expense of building the same, viz : James Walsh, T. J. Reeler and Judge lughain. Should they request one built from the 2nd Ward the expense would be wholly upon James McFarlane & Co., who own all lands by which said walk would run. This will satisfy all that a donation of work is not neces sary as our correspondent suggests. The last paragraph given by our cor respondent is true in every respect —ED.
