Mukran Ju?paL Encounter and Fight with a Wounded Deer. The Detroit Free Press says: "Perhaps there is no* onenbw- living in Wayne County more generally known than, was the late Peter Fralick,.a long time its Sheriff and for many years a resident of Plymouth. Mr. Fralick, in his youth, was a powerful man, and a represen? tative pioneer, having both muscle and courage, as well as an ardent love for the excitement of the chase" The following anecdote related by him to Mr. J. Decker, of Flint, twenty years ago, is as told by the latter:. us& number of years previous, and while Mr. Fralick was yet a young man, in searching the forest around Plymouth for game, he de? scried, at short range, a monster buck that stood contemplating his approach as if indif? ferent to danger, or, it may De, confident of its strength to avert it. The hunter at once drew bead on his game and fired, slightly wounding the animal. To his astonishment and dismay, instead of wheeling in its tracks and endeavor? ing to escape, the buck, with every hair erect, upon its neck, and eyes dashing fire, violently stamped the ground for a moment, and then dashed full at the hunter, who had commenced reloading his rifle. Fralick realized in an in? stant his danger, and with clubbed gun aimed a furious blow at the oncoming animal, but its force was so far lost from its nearness as only to check it for an instant, and dropping his rifle, the hunter seized the now infuriated buck by the antlers, and endeavored to throw hiim Around and around in a giddy circle, amid crashing brush and flying leaves, went Fralick and his game, the latter striking out with his sharp-pointed hoofs with lightning rapidity, and "giving the latter all the business he could attend to in averting the danger of being dis? emboweled. The horrors of the hunter's situ? ation he fully realized, and, with almost super? human strength, he kept the animal from rais? ing its head sufficiently high to allow its death dealing feet to reach his body, but his lower limbs were in more imminent danger, and the perspiration oozed in streams from every pore. The" contest lasted, it seemed to Fralick, for full five minutes, and, just as he began to feel his strength, give .way, he bethought himself that, to throw himself upon his back, he could maintain a more even struggle with his feet. This lie accomplished, and then came a shower of blows upon his elevated cowhides, while on hit part he now and then got in a kick that made the animal snort with pain. As the deer changed round to get a better chance at the body of the hunter, so did Fralick, with his back as a pivot, and thus the fight was contin? ued at all points of the compass. Finally, as if yielding the contest, the buck retreated for a rod or so, and looking sideways at the prostrate man, stood pawing the ground. After resting a moment Fralick cautiously essayed to creep to bis gun, but in an instant the buck was upon Lim, and again he was forced to the defensive. Again the buck retreated and again the hunter tried to recover his gun, but with the first mo? tion he made in that direction the fight was renewed. This was repeated until Fralick, now almost upon the point of yielding to his fate from exhaustion/ realized that his only hope was in assuming perfect quiet when the animal should again retreat. This he did, and after a little the deer, step by step, pausing, stamping, and watching him over its shoulder, reached a thicket of bushes, when it broke into a run and he saw no more of it Pausing a while to recover breath and strength, Mr. Fral? ick at last, with difficulty, got to his feet, and with extreme exertion made his way home. Strange as it may seem, by his desperate ener fy ana strength he had succeeded iu preserving is body from harm. It had not received a scratch. His lower limbs 'also were but little I injured, and his clothing but little torn. Not j so with those cowhide boots, however; they were a curiosity that Mr. Fralick preserved, it is believed, to the day of his death.' "The narrator states that they were shown him by the hero of the fight, who declared that money would not buy them. The fronts, from a point far up the leg, were cut iu gashes to? ward the toes, as if with a sharpe knife, and so badly cut that had the contest continued a short time longer they would have been literal- j ly cut from his feet, and yet, strange to say, the injury to his feet was so trifling as hardly to incommode him. "We have heard of several encounters with wounded and maddened deer, but seldom have heard of one so hotly contested and yet so bloodless as this." How to Conduct a Courtship. Don't be too sudden about it. Many a girl has said "no" when she meant "yes," simply because her lover didn't choose the right time, and pop the question gently. Take a dark night for it. Have the blinds ciosed, the curtains down, and the lamp turned almost out. Sit near enough to her so you can hook, your.little finger into hers. Wait until conversation begins to flag, and then quietly remark: "Susie, I want to ask you something?" She will fidget around a little, reply "yes," and ,after.a pause, you can add: "Susie, my actions must have shown?that is you must have?I mean you must be aware that?that"? Pause here awhile, but keep your finger firmly locked. She may cough and try to turn the subject off by asking you how you liked the circus, but she ouly does it to encourage you. After about ten minutes you can continue: "I was thinking, as I came up the path to? night, that before I went away I would ask you?that is, I would broach the subject near? est my?I mean I would know my"? Stop agaiu and give her hand a gentle squeeze. She may give a yank to get it away or she may not. In either case it argues well for you. Wait about five minutes and then go on: "The past year has been a very happy one to me, but I hope that future years will be still happier. However, that depends entirely on yod. I am here to-night to know?that is to ask you?I mean I am here to-night to hear from your own lips the oue sweet?" Wait again. It isn't best to be too rash about such things. Give her plenty of time to recover her composure, and then put your hand on your heart and continue: ''Yes, I thought as I was coming through the gate to-night, now happy I had .been; and I said to myself that if I only knew you would consent to be my?that is, I said if I only knew?if I was only certain that my heart had not deceived me, and you were ready to share"? Hold on, there's no hurry about it. Give the wind a chance to sob ana moan around the gables. This will make her lonesome, and call up all the love in her herat. When she begins to cough, and grow restless, you can go on : "Before I met you this world was a desert to me. I didn't take any pleasure in going black berrying, and stealing rare-ripe peaches, and it didn't matter whether the sun shone or not. But what a change in one short year! It is for you to say whether my future shall be a prairie of happiness, or a summer fallow of Canadian thistles. Speak, dearest Susie?and say that?that"? Give her five minutes more by the clock, and then add: "That you will be, that is, that you will?I mean that you will?be mine ?" She will heave a sigh, look up at the clock and over the stove, and then, as she slides her head over your vest pocket, she will whisper: "You are just right?I will." ? A Sacramento lawyer remarked to the court: "It is my candid opinion, Judge, that you are an old fool!" The Judge allowed his mildly beaming eye to fall upon the lawyer a brief moment, then in a voice husky with sup? pressed emotion, said: "It is my candid opinion that you are fined $100!" He Knew What He Wanted. The Cincinnati Enquirer teils the following good story: ? _ , He entered the office of the West End un? dertaker the other day, with a look of great care on his honest face. His eyes were heavy and slightly bloodshot, telling of nightly vigils and loss of sleeps His hair was unkempt and shaggy. The soft-hearted man of coffins looked upon his vi?itor with a gaze of pity and thankfulness?pity for the customer's loss and thankfulness for his patronage. He was so young to be burdened with the loss of a dear one by death. The manufacturer of burial cases nodded a silent, respectful and condoling recognition ; "the young man from the country" gravely said, "How d'ye?" Then ensued a painful silence, broken at last by the man of grave business. "Can I do anything for you to-day, sir ?" "Well, I reckon so, stranger." Another silence. Once more the undertaker began by suggesting: "Your sister?" The young man started a moment, then, as light gradually broke upon his perplexed mind, he smiled a smile less suggestive of sorrow than happiness, and replied: %o. My wife." "Sudden?" "No; expected sumthin' o' the kind for Bum months." "When did it happen ?" " 'Bout four o'clock this mornin'." "Look natural ?" "Rather." (Spoken carefully, and expres? sive of some doubt.) "About what do you want the cost of it to be?" "Don't care a darnation for expenses; git it up kinder nice. "I'll treat her handsum, 'cause she is the first one I ever had." "Very well, my friend. You'll have it lined with white satin, I suppose ?" "Just as you say, stranger." "Silver headed screws, too, I suppose?" "Y-a-a-s, I s'pose so. And, stranger, just put a bully top to it." "Oh, of course; and you'll want a glass in it also, I suppose ?" "Y-a-a-s?oh, certainly?you bet. Get her up sniptious, you know, old fellow. None of your dratted one horse fixins, fur me. No sir'ee." "Just so. Silver handles, of course ?" "Eh ? what's that yer say, stranger ? Silver handles 1 oh, darn it, no; won't that be pilin' it on too hefty like ? I kin stand silver screws and sich, but there's no use of makin' the hull tarnation trap of silver. The thing has to be moved, and must have handles, but I ain't so stuck up as that now?no, not quite, stranger." "Very well," acquiesced the man of obse qaies. "I'll put ordinary handles to it then." "Eggs-actly, them's 'em, mister; now you'r talkin'. Or'nary handles '11 do. But, I say, stranger, (reflectively,) make the wheels glisten like thunder." "Wh-wh-wh-eels I" "Yes, wheels. What's the matter with you, anyhow ?" "Who ever heard of wheels to a coffin I" "Coffin I" shrieked the dejected-looking young man. "Coffin ! now, who the dickens said anything about coffins ?" "Why, don't you want a coffin ?" "N-e-o! dum your coffin ! I want a cradle ?a trap to rock my new baby in." "Ana isn't your wife dead ?" "Not by a jugful. Don't you make cradles for sale?" "No, my friend, I am an undertaker." "Undertaker of what?" "I make coffins." "Oh, Lord, let me ketch that fellow that sent me here!" And the grief-stricken youth crammed his hat over his eyes, ran his hands deep down in the pockets of his trouserloons, and pounced out on the streets searching for veugeance. Carefulness.?There is no estimating the amount of hard-earned property which is lost through a want of care in using. We wear things out fast by not being careful. We rip and tear, pitch and jerk, break and smash up things entirely too much. No wonder there are always chink-holes to be stopped up. No won? der the barrel gets empty when the leak is left open. Be careful. Keep cool. Go slow. Old Moses Stroup, of North Carolina, is a model for us. He has had for thirty years the same cob for shelling corn. He used the same pocket knife for thirty years. He has the mow? ing scythe of his grandfather, but it is worn off to its back, and he has laid it away. Moses is a Germon and a philosopher, and presume n rich man, He ought to be. ? A young fellow in San Francisco sudden? ly snatched a kiss from a lady friend, and ex? cused his conduct by saying that it was sort of temporary insanity that now and then came upon him. When he arose to take his leave the pitying damsel said to him, "If you ever feel any more such fits coming on, you had bet? ter come right here where your infirmity is known, and we will take care of you." ft v<m2$ NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi? gestion and Torpidity of tho Liver, and relief is always anxiously sought after.

A Cargo of 500 tons now on the way to this port. This Guano gave great satis? faction in Virginia and North Carolina the past season. Circular and certificates sent on appli? cation. Prof. Wilson, of Baltimore, Md., says of this Guano: "By a critical examination of tho analysis of tho various cargoes you have im? ported, a striking feature is the great regularity in the percentage of tho important constituents essential for the production of all crops." Prof. F. A. Genth, of Philadelphia, Penn., says: "The Guano is evidontly of animal original, and the minute bones which were dis? covered in the same indicate that it is the result of tho demy of bats, mice, <fcc. The quantity of organic matter which is still present is about 12 per cent., and this yields about 2i per cent, of ammonia. A portion of the nitrogen is present as nitric acid, of which about 3 per cent, wero found. All tho nitrogen present would be equivalent to about 3i por cent, of ammonia. The phosphoric acid in the Guano averaged about 12* per cent., equal to 27.3 per cent, of Bone rhospliate. A considerable quan? tity of the phosphoric acid, however, is present as so-calleu neutral Phosphate of Lime, which., being slightly soluble in water, renders the Guano as quick in its action as a corresponding quantity of Superphosphates would do. The small per centage of potash which was found in analysis adds to its value. From all the ex? periments which I have made of tho Guana . h&ixi Guano no doubt can exist that it is a valu? able manure." j Prof. H. C. White, of the Georgia Stato Ag? ricultural Society, says: "As shown by the analysis, this Guano contains, in good propor? tion,* all the elements which are generally con? sidered as of value for plant lbod, and the forms and combinations in which they arc present are such ns to render them available to and assimilable by tho plant. 1 should judge that tho proper use of this article for purposes of fertilization would bo attended with great pro tit." Prof. Charles U. Shepard, jr., in a recent analysis of this Guano, says: "This Guano (of animal origin) would appear from its physical and chemical properties to answer every rea? sonable oxpecUition of a commercial manure."
