CHASED BY A CATAMOUNT.

I was once told a thrilling adventure of the first settler in Pari*, Maine, with a catamount. Although can not relate it with that lively effect with which it was told me, still I have embodied the facts in this sketch.

I had been on a hunting excursion, and as was returning, I I in with that oft-described persotiagp, "the oldest inhabitant.'' lie kindly accosted me, and I gladly entered into conversation with him. "Young man," said he,

,:when

[first

visited this town, there were only three families living in it. You. who now live in ease, can never know the hardships and perilous scenes through which tire earlier settlers passed, (-omo with me," he continned, and I will show you the exact spot on which the first hut ever erected in this town was located."

I followed silently, until the old man reached the bottom of the west side of Paris Ilill. "There,'' said he, "ou this spot was erected the hut. I shall never forget the first time I visited it, and the story I wa9 told."' "What is it?-' I asked. "I will tell you. When the first settler moved here, his nearest neighbor lived twenty miles distant, in the present town of Rumford. and the only road between the two neighbors was a path which he had cut through the woods himself, so that in case of want or sickness lie mieht get assistance. One spring, I think it was the third season after ho had settled here, he was obliged to go to Rumford after provisions. lie arose early one morning, and started for his nearest neighbor. People, of the present day would thiuk it hard to make a journey of twenty miles for a bng of potatoes, and on foot, too but such was the errand of the first settler. He arrived before noon, was successful in getting his potatoes, got some refreshments, and started for home. Mut it was not very easy to travel with a load of potatoes and fina 113-, at sundown, I10 threw off his load, and resolved to make a shelter nrid spend the night.

Another shriek, and I tossed the garment behind me in the path. Not more than five minutes etapscd before I heard a shrill cry as he came to it. How that shriek electrofied me! I bounded like a deer. But in a moment the animal made another cry, which told me plainly that the garment had only exasperated him to a fiercer chafe. "Oh, God," said I,

With what vividnoss that moment conies back to my mind. The catamount was not so far from mc as I was from the house. I dopped my hat, the only thing I could leave to stay the progress of the beast. The next moment I fell prostrate in my own cabin.

Here the old settler paused, and wiped the big drops fom his brow ere he continued.

How long I laid where I fell I knew not, but when I was roused to consciousness, I was lying on my rude couch, and my wife was bathing my head with cold water, and my children were gazing at mc. My wife told me that, as soon as I fell, she immediately shut the door and barred it, for she knew that I was pursued, but by whom or what she knew not aud that as soon ns I had fallen and the door closed a fearful spring was made upon it, but

I listened a moment, said he, the door was strong 2nd well-barred, "and it was repeated even louder, and and withstood the spring of the beast. it seemed nearer than before.

In a moment I concluded tostart for home, for I knew the nature of a catamount too well to think I should staud the least chance of escape if I remained in camp.

year. Tuesday, he stated facts which ought to receive the earnest attention of the country. As a leader in the ruling party, whose integrity and ability have won for him an enviable reputation, his testimony againot that party, on a question of such great importance as the yearly appropriations, will be received without hesitancy. Indeed, the facts stated by him in his speech are of a character which cannot be disputed.

In the comparison he made between the expenditures in the last year of President Johnson's administration, and the estimates of Grant's administration for the next fiscal year, Mr. Dawes must have sadly jostled republican s-elfs complacency. /ohnson asked for 8303,000,000, and that amount was cut down over S20,000,000 by congress. Grant asks for §311,000,000 more than the amount appropriated for the present year. It would not have helped the point Mr. Dawes wished to make, to have said that the appropriations for the present year must be supplemented by huge deficeney bills. He might, however, have safely stated this, and yet have proved conclusively the estimates are extravagant, ana discreditable to the president and the heads of the departments.

In the political campaigns of the last year, the reduction of the public debt was attributed to economy in expenditure, and honesty and efficiency in the collection of the revenue. The press of the ruling party divided its

admirution between the evidences of I retrenchment afforded by the different departments, and the increase in revenue. The latter was said to be the result of an increase of honesty in the revenue service. The boastings of republican journalists and politicans about reduction of expenses in the war, and navy, and postoffice departments were frequent and loud, aud, no doubt, deceived a great many honest voters.

The irony of Mr. Dawes, when speaking of the saving proposed by Secretary Robeson in the consumption of coal, must disturb that jolly "old sea dog." To make a saving of §2,000,000 in the consumption of that which has heretofore cost only $150,000 "is an achievement in mathematics which finds a parallel only in the 'achievement of the postmsatergeneral, 'who proposes to save §5,000,000 a 'year by the abolition of the franking 'privilege, while the franked matter 'would not producs §200,000."

It is true, as Mr. Dawes stated, that the administration of Andrew Johnson was accused of profligacy in expenditures, and that the promises of economy and retrenchment made by Grant and the republican party were potent agencies in securing their triumph, but Mr. Dawes neglected to say that the profliga3y in expenditures with which Johnson stood charged was the work of congress. He could not expend a dollar which was not appropriated. He could justly be held responsible for the estimates of expenditures submitted by heads of departments, and which were cut down by congress and a like responsibility attaches to Grant. Whatever may be the action of congress in making the yearly appropriations, the fact will remain that Grant and his cabinet have asked for §311,000,000 for the next fiscal year.

Mr. Dawes did not present the worst feature of the case against the administration. The estimates when compared with the expenditures of the last year of Johnson's administration, appear, and are, the more extravagant from the fact that Secretary McCulloch bad extraordinary payments to make which Mr. Boutwell has not been, and will not be called on to meet. These extraordinary pay- Don't Want to Economise, ments-for bounties, the purchase of

will probably help to cut down the estimates somewhat, but the corruption in which they originate is divided between congress and the administration and will prevent any material reduction of them.

Early this morning, Russell went to the shop, and passing through the forge department, entered the little office in one corner of the building. There were two persons in the room, and he turned about and went back to his forge. In a short time he again went to the office, but still the stranger was there, and Russell again returned to his work. After waiting patiently he saw the man depart. He then left his work, and for the third time approached the unsuspecting foreman. He saw Williams seated at a desk, busily engaged in writing. He deliberately raised the weapon and fired.

The ball entered the right side of the head, just above the car and the man fell forward dead.

When Russell saw his victim fall, he went out to hi3 forge and asked his helper if he knew any constable. The man replied that he did. "Then come with me to see him," said Russell, and when the man wonderingly asked what was wanted with a constable, Russell told him that he would soon be told. They then went to Marshal Botwick, and Russell gave himself up. Not knowing whether to believe the story or not, Mr. Botwick hauded Russell over to the safe keeping of a deputy, and, hurrying to the shops, found the dead body of Williams.

Like wildfire the news" spread through this city, and soon an excited crowd had assembled in the neighborhood of the blacksmith shop. With an eager curiosity men and boys jostled each other, and struggled for a better position, so that they might look upon the scene of the dreadful tragedy.

In the meantime the news had been telegraphed to Goshen, and the coroner was summoned to appear and perform his duty. That officer is now holding the inquest in the passenger house at this place.

The murdered man, Williams, was an Englishman, aged about 50 years. He had been in the employ of the Michigan Railroad company for 1G years. He is a widower, but leaves two children, both daughters, aged respectively 14 and 1G years

Russell is about 2S years of age. The preseut is his second wife, he having been divorced from his first wife. By birth he is a Canadian, and ha3 been in the employ of the railroad company about two years. It is claimed by some in this city that Mrs. Russell is slightly insane, or that she is 1x011 compus mentis, but, of course, it is only a rumor and cannot be relied upon The excitement is intense, the general opinion being however, that Russell was perfectly justifiable in the course he pursued.

Indeed, it is charged that the deceased ha9 often gone to the house with his two daughters—they to visit their cousins, he to further his hellish designs. After a while, the suspicions of Mr. Russell were aroused, and he advised with his wife on the matter. She informed her husband that her uncle had done nothing wrong, but that if he did she would tell her husband. One day last week, Williams, who was foreman

Russell's absence went to his house

It is asserted that he then threatened to kill her should she ever divulge the circumstance to a living soul. On the return of Mr. Russell from Laport he noticed that his wife was suffering from some secret trouble, and his suspicions being aroused by having been sent out of town, he questioned his wife as to the cause of her trouble. After a short interval she disclosed the perfidy of her uncle, ns already related.

Mr. Russell was overwhelmed with sorrow, and he thirsted for revenge. But first of all he went to the shop and putting the case as asupposed one to his fellow-workmen, asked them what they would do under eucli circumstances. They all replied that they would shcot a man who would steal into their family and do them that great wrong. Russell then tried to borrow a revolver, but as none of the men had one he finally called at Pope's hardware store and obtained the weapon. This was on Saturday last. On Sunday he spent the most of his time with his wife brooding over the matter, she endeavoring to comfort him, not thinking that he was harboring murderous thoughts.
