New Way to Gather In Geese. Wesley .isu-obs. a farmer, living on Hook mountain, near Towaco. N. J., recently shot Into a Hock of wild geese which rose from a marshy inlet of the Passaic river and brought down two. He was surprised a moment later to see another goose rise in the air agt:in and again only to fall to the ground. Upon investigation Jacobs dis covered that the goose was caught on a ■ set line nearly r>00 feet long with fifty hooks set at intervals. A section of the line was on the land, and the goose had swallowed one of the baits. Following up the line, Jacobs found it lowered down into a hole under a • stump. Pulling the line, he dragged out of the hole a snapping, snarling otter and an eight pound German carp HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON / A TALE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY BY JOHN P. KENNEDY CHAPTER LVII.

Peal after peal rattled along the mountain side, and volumes of smoke, silvered by the light of the sun, rolled over and en veloped the combatants. When the breeze had partially swept away this cloud, and opened glimpses of the battle behind it, the troops of Campbell were seen recoil ing before an impetuous charge of the bayonet, in whiebe Ferguson himself led the way. A sudden halt by the retreating Whigs, and a stern front steadfastly opposed- to the foe, check ed the ardor of his pursuit at an early moment, and, in turn, he was dscovered retiring towards his origi nal ground, hotly followed by the Again, the same vig- Blue are the hills that are far from us.—Irish.

They had just reached this point when they encountered a picquet of the enemy, which, after a few shots, retired has tily up the mountain. The little outpost had scarcely be gun to give ground, before the lead ing companies of the Whigs had their attention drawn to the movements of a smalll party of horsemen who at that moment appeared in sight upon the road, some distance in advance. They were approaching the Ameri can column; and, as if taken by sur prise at the appearance of this force, set spurs to their horses and made an effort to ride beyond the reach of Cleveland’s fire whilst they took a direction up the mountain towards Ferguson’s stronghold. From the equipment of these individuals, is might hrve been inferred that they were two gentlemen of some distinct ion connected with the royal army, attended by their servants, and now about arriving, after a long journey, at the British camp. The first was habited in the uniform of an officer, was well mounted, and displayed a light and active figure, which appear ed to advantage in the dexterous man agement of his horse. The second was a gentleman in a plain riding costume, of slender and well-knit pro portions, and manifestly older than his companion. He roder a powerful and .spirited horse, with a confidence and command not inferior to those of his associates. The others in attend ance, from their position in the rear, the heavy • portmanteaus by 16,000 agents is evidence. You buy 4 gallons L. & M.

The course taken by this party brought them obliquely across the range of the fire of the Whigs. “It is a general officer and his aide,’’ exclaimed otje of the subalterns in the advance. “Ho there! Stand. You are my prisoners!” “Spur, spur, and away! For God’s sake, fly!” shouted the younger of the two horsemen to his companion, as he dashed the rowels into his steed and fled up the mountain. "Push for the top—one moment more and we are out of reach!” “Stop them, at all hazards!” voci ferated Cleveland, the instant his eye fell upon them. “Quicb, lads—level your pieces—they are messengers from Cornwallis. Rein up, or I fire!" he called aloud after the flying caval cade. The appeal and the threat were un heeded.

The scarlet uniform of the younger horsemen,* conspicuous through the foliage some distance up the mountain, showed that he had es caped. His elder comrade, when the smoke cleared away, was seen also beyond the reach of Cleveland’s fire; but his altered pace and his relaxed orous onset from the royalisis was repeated, and again the shaken bands of Campbell rallied and turned back the rush of battle towards the sum mit. At last, panting and spent with the severe encounter, both parties stood for a space eyeing each other with deadly rage, and waiting only to gather breath for the renewal of the strife. At this juncture, the distant firing heard from either flank furnished evidence that Sevier and Cleveland had both come in contact with the enemy. The uprising of smoke above the trees showed the seat of the com bat to be below the summit on the mountain sides, and that the enemy had there halfawy .met his foe; whilst the shouts of the soldiers, alternating betwen the parties of either army, no less distinctly proclaimed the fact that, at these remote points, the field was disputed with bloody resolution and various success. It would overtask my poor faculty of description, to give my reader even a faint picture of this rugged battle field. During the pause of the com batants of the centre, Campbell and Shelby were seen riding along the line, and by speech and gesture en couraging their soldiers to still more determined efforts. Little need was there for exhortation; rage seemed to have refreshed the strength of the men, who, with loud and fierce huz zas, rushed again to the encounter. They were met with a defence not less eager than their own; and, for a t’me, the battle was again obscured under the thick haze engendered by the incessant discharges of fire-arms. From this gloom, a yell of triumph was sometimes heard, as momentary suc cess inspired those who struggled within; and the frequent twinkle of polished steel glimmering through the murky atmosphere, and the occasion al apparition of a speeding horseman, seen for an instant as he came into the clear light, told of the dreadful earnestness and zeal with which the unseen hosts had now joined in <3bn- flict. The impression of this contact was various. Parts of each force broke before their antagonists; and in those spots where the array of the fight might be discerned through the shade of the forest or the smoke of battle, both royalists and Whigs were found, at the same instant, to have driven back detached fragments of their opponents. Foemen were mingled hand to hand, through and among their adverse ranks; and for a time no conjecture might be indulged a s to the side to which victory would turn. The flanking detachments seemed to have fallen into the same con fusion, and might have been seen re treating and advancing upon the rough slopes of the mountain, in par tisan bodies, separated from their lines; thus giving to the scene an air of bloody riot, more resembling the sudden insurrection of mutinfeers from the same ranks, than the order ly war of trained soldiers. Through the din and disorder of this fight, it is fit that I should take time to mark the wanderings of Gal braith Robinson, whose exploits this day would not ill deserve the pen of Froissart. The doughty sergeant had : for a time, retained his post m tne ranks of the Atnhert Rangers, and with the m had travelled towards me seemed to Infer some duty unconnect ed with the general fight. In the midst of those, he thought he recog nized the figure and dres* of one fa miliar to his eye. The person thus singled out by the sergeant’s glance stood bareheaded upon a projecting mass of rock, apparently looking with an eager gaze towards the dis tant combat. No sooner did the con jecture that this might be Arthur But ler flash across his thought, than he turned ids haste towards the Rangers. “Stephen Foster.” he said, as he galloped up to the lieutenant, and drew his attention by a tap o! the hand upon his shoulder, “I have busi ness for you, man—you are but wast ing your time here—pick me out a half dozen of your best fellows and bring them with you after me. Quick —Stephen—quick! ” The lieutenant of the Rangers col lected the desired party and rode af ter the sergeant, who now conducted this handful of men with as much rapidity as the broken character of the ground allowed, by a circuit for a considerable distance along the right side of the mountain, until they reached the top. The point at which they gained the summit brought them between Ferguson’s line and the dra goons, who, it was soon perceived, v'ere the party charged with the cus tody of Butler, and who had been thus detached in the rear for the more safe guardianship of the prison er. Horse Shoe’s manoeuvre had completely cut them off from their friends in front, and they had no re source but to defend themselves against the threatened assualt, or fly towards the parties who were at this moment engaged with the flanking di visions of the Whigs. They were taken by suprise—and Horse Shoe, perceiving the importance of an Im mediate attack, dashed onwards along the ridge of the mountain with pre- cipiate speed, calling out to his com panions to follow. In a moment the HUMAN STOMACH HAS BECOME DEGENERATE » Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong Digestive Apparatus. i i An interesting interview was re cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, -the young man whose theory and medi cines have created such a sensation during the past year. Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re markable success of his medicine, had this to say on the subject: “My medi cine regulates the stomach. That is why it is successful. The human stom ach today has become degenerate, and is .the cause for most ill health. In the horse, the dog, and the wild ani mals generally, you see no nerve ex haustion, no chronic debility. They aie not shut up day after day with practically no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food when their bodies have not had enough work to justify it. The human race has been doing this for years, and look at the result—half the people are complaining of poor health, not real .llness—just a half-sick, tired, droopy feeling.

Mr. Brown has this to say of his experience with the new medicine: “For over seven years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, and for the past year I was lame with rheumatism. I attributed this to my stomach trouble, as my cir culation was very poor. What food I ate would turn to gas almost at once. I would have a sensation of bloating, and would have to belch frequently to relieve this. My heart also became affected, and 1 would suddenly become dizzy and have palpitations. I was tired and dull and despondent at all times. I lost a great deal of flesh, and was nervous and depressed. This went on for over seven years, although I spent hundreds of dollars trying to get relief. “When Cooper was in Boston I heard a good deal about his ideas on stomach trouble. Next, one or two friends told me that his medicines had greatly helped them. I purchased some of the New Discovery medicine. Today I am perfectly well; I sleep liko a boy, can eat anything and have no rheumatism or heart trouble. I no longer have any gas on my stomach, and feel as I did years ago. No one could be more astonished by these facts than myself. They are remark able, but true. This is indeed a won derful medicine.” The Cooper preparations have been more widely sold and discussed since being introduced than anything of the kind ever before sold by druggists.
