Sullivan Knocked Out.

[Philadelphia dispatch.] This afternoon John L. Sullivan found one man who could knock him out. He went with Patsey Sheppard to a matinee at Egyptian Hall, where Professor Keller was doing his cabinet trick. When the Professor invited a committee to go upon the stage and tie him the audience shouted for Sullhah, and he and Sheppard did. Keller then invited Sullivan to go into the cabinet with him. The slugger afterward s.iid: “I was never so much surprised in my life as I was after I went into the cabinet. The first thing I knew my overcoat was gone. I felt all around for it, but I couldn’t find it, and then I was chucked out of the cabinet onto the stage as if I had been shot out of cannon. My inside coat was turned inside out, and I lay sprawling on the stage as if some fellow had kicked me one in the jugular. I’ll be blanked if Keller ain’t the strongest little man I ever saw. I don’t want any more cabinet business. ” Five rabbits were recently killed at one shot by a Rabun County (G% ) hunter. The bunnies were all huddled together in an old hollow log to keep warm during the snowstorm. An offer of the contract for laying 3CO miles of pipe across the desert, to supply the English soldiers in the Soudan with water, has been made to a citizen of Yonkers, N. Y. A knot-hole in the frame of an old house, erected about 1750, at Newington, Conn., has been the home of a family of bluebirds for seventy-five years. It is asserted that the car® of Arizona’s criminals and insane costs the Territory more than one-half of her running expenses. The freehold farms in New Zeland are alone worth $170,000,000.
