Squills; 'but I could not roost out all

'Never mind, Mr. Squills; only wait

Bursting of a Hog.
8TRANOE SOBNES OF ])KVASTATION IN
IHELANl).
Mr. W. L. TrcncK, writing to tho
London Times to appeal to tho eharita
ble lor aid for some, uufnrtuuatc families,
gives this account of the bursting of an
Irish bog. Ho says ;
'I have just returned from inspecting
one of the most pitiful scenes of the
sort it has been my fate to witness since
I saw the remains of tho village of Visp,
in the Rhone Valley, Switzerland, after
its destruction by flood some years
ago.
'The scene to which 1 refer is the
result of the bursting of r bog, situated
about three miles cast ol the town Of
Duutnnre, in the northern part of Gal
way county! Heretofore this bog was
connected with the Punmore UNcr, at
Dunmore, by a small stream called the
Oorfiibel Kiver flVwing through aeon
tinuation of pasture and tillage lan Is in
its course. The level of the upper sur
fare of the bog was formerly -GO fe-.i
above the sea, and that of the water at
Dunmore 1^0 feet, showing a lall of 70
feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bog
presented the umi.i1 appearance uf most
of our undrain-d Irish bog*, i. e, its
skirts, adjoining the arable hind, consist
iug of high turf banks, being exceeding
; ""et and spongy.
'On (lie first of October the farmer
occupying a farm on the Oorrabal streun
nnar the hog was "digging his potatoes, j
when hesu Idcnly ubservod n brown mass
slowly approaching him He left his
spadeiu the ground, and wont for the
neighbors; on hin return the uns (which
was the moving bog,) had half covered
his potato field. ling completely bidden
Iroui sight hi> fieldV?f coru, with the ex
t.,.r,:.;t fun stoot-n . situated on a
knoll; they Httll remain an Island in t'te
middle of a si-fire of desolation. This
was but the ciHiitn. neeineiit, since then
the bog has continued to advance in ;i
rolling iino;--. continuing it-? cAdr-'^ ri;b:
?down the valley to P.tumor.'. 1m yin ?
on its way three rann !<o ties, and o ?vor
ing a' least one hundred and eighty
acres of pasture and arable laud to a
dop'h in some places of six loot. The
unfortunate oempiers of the three farms
have heeu turned, by this visitation of
L'rovideuoe,Turmlcss and homeless, with
their families, on the world.
'At Dunmore a small bridge has been
removed, near the junction of the Cor
rabel strvaui with the Dunmore Kiver
to afford relief to the lands up the val
ley, and n bog-laden torrent, is being dis
charged into the latter river. The
worst may be said to bo over, hut the
discharging powers ol that river will be
materially affected by this influx ol sol
id matter. The source ol this disaster
vresitntcD a wonderful tippcafah'eo. The
subsidence at the discharging point can
not be less than about of* feet. The
extent of the bog affected is most clear
ly defined by a series of black 'crev is
ses,' where the upper crust of the bog
has, by the subsidence below, been torn
asunder. The whole assumes the form
of a crater half a mile in diameter.
'With considerable difficulty we pilot
ed our way to the c Mitre, where w ? foun 1
the brown liquid bog boiling out like a
stream of lava aud footling the moving
mass in the valley below. At the point
.where the bog hurst, the turf banks
were forced right dv< r and routfl on
either side, and assumed somewhat the
appearance of 'moraines.'
'This aud similar disasters to which
this country is liable must be attributed
to the absi ncc of a complete and good
system of arterial drainago. A similar
catastrophe occurred two yons ago, oe
\ cusioned by the backwater of the River
iSuckv Dear Custlcrea.'

Andrew Hill, the flagman ut the
llroad street crossing id'the Morris aud
Kssex Railroad, will ever be gratolully
remembered by a young I'a'd'v who was
rescued by him from imminent death.
Tho young lady who is the daughter ol*
a wealthy gentleman residing iu ll'.o in
field, had been in the city during the
afternoon, and was 01) her way to the
dopot to take ihu uext train to return
home. A train from Now York had
just passed, and the Morristuwn train
down, due tit. six o'clock came thunder
ing down the grade as the girl approach
ed the crossing. Iu her histo to get
across, she fell directly iu front of the
train. Tho headlight throw itafearful
upon her prostrate form, and stont mea,
who had been accustomed to'withassing
muiilatcd bodies of tho victimsjpf rail

sistuncc in time, sickened and shiddorod
at the thought of the inovitaboV crush

the prostrate girl and the train ?HpiW
was within twelve feet of hcr,soKeu her
iu his arms, and with all his fTiongth
threw himself backward. He fell! Tho
din of tho wheels drowned thtj cry of
the doomed victims, and tho n*S?i.ty out
line of the train for a moment hid them
from view. Mr. (?ouk'in had ,luade a
jufch to save the girl, but Hill .was near
er to her, and Mr. Cocklin, trembled iu
every joint, saw them pro.strato^rWoso.by
the track, as the train passed "wy, the

How The Imliims Climb Trees
Tn South America even the weakest
woman may he, riot uncommonly, seen
plucking the fruit at 'he tre^ tops If
the back is so smooth and slippery that
they cannot go climbing, they use other
mean--. They make a 'h"*op of wild
vines, and putting their feet trlsi'de'CKoy
use it as. a support io .climbing Tlie
negro of the west const of Africa makes
a larger h'?op round the tree, and gets
inside of it, and jerks it up the trunk
with his hands', a little at a time, draw
ing his legs up after it. The Tahitiah
hoys tie their feet together, four or live
inches apart, with a piece of palm bark
aud With the aid of this fetters go up the
cocoa plains to gtaher nuts. The native
women in Australia climb the gun
trees after opossums; whor; the bark is
rough they chop holes with a hatchet
then one throws about the tree a rope
twice tip long as will ?. o round it, puts
her liatohet on her cropped head, and.
placing her feet against thu tree and
grasping the rope with her hands, she
hitches it up by jerks, ptijis herself up
the enormous trunk, almost as last as a

Shortly after he went to the bar, laid
down some coppers, and resumed his
seat. The lamflord, always ready for a
customer askod him what he would
take,
'Nothing at all,' said Pat.
'Then why do you put down this men

'An' sure, sir, it's the custom in my

The Pig.
The pig is an interesting antiu il ; iu
fact, there is none more so : view him
as a w inde or in parts. Whether Squeal
ing under a gale or worked up into hams,
spare ribs and '"sassengers," he is an
immense sneers; nothing iu nature oan
compare with him. Naturalists have
never done the pig justice unless at a
late dinner; ihuir description of him
applying as well to a peck of potatoes.
The pig was first born in North t'aro
iina, but 1 never heard of his being
raised there, the wire grass of that .State
only developing his 1-tig h without re
gard to bicadjh or thickness; the con
sequence is the farmers have to tie knots
on his tail to keep him from slipping
through the fence cracks; to this prac
lice is attributed the curl iu his tail.
For developing the greatest amount of
cusscdhess in the shortest given time,
the pig has no cciial unless1 it is u mule
or an Irishman. If you want him to
go in one direction always drive hfui in
au opposite, and you are sure to get him
lo the right place. Again, observe tho
sly doviltry that lurks in the corner of
his eye while he devours your neighbors
cabbagos, combs tho mud oil his sides
against the freshly painted sign post of
mine host of the "Cat and Whistle,"
and you would believe that piggy was
a veritable Sadducce, und did not believe
in a hereafter, thuugh e.vpurjeuco in the
shape of two "yallur dorgs'' havo ro
pcatedly taught him to the contrary.
