A Fish" Story.
A Boston corresponpent of Forest and
Stream tells tho following remarkable
story: The scene is laid in Long Island,
where, on the shore of a pond, the cor
respondent was watching the play of
swallows as they kimmea just over the
surface of the water shortly before sun
set. "About a hundred yards out was
a bed of lily pads; and as the swallows
skipped it, occasionally a good sized
ripple could be seen, and sometimes a
break from the edges indicating a fish
there. This fastened my attention to
the particular place. I had often seen
cats play with swallows swooping at
them, but the idea of fish doing the
same was something new to me. Pres
ently I saw a clean breach, and a fine
largo pickerel showed Ids, whole size
and got a swallow, too,' as he disap
peared beneath the water. Thk I saw
repeated several times, and I called the
attention of my companion to this novel
sight. While we were watching we
saw two large fish break at the same
swallow, the fish coming from opposite
directions, and each head on to each.
Both missed the swallow, but, singular
to relate, only one fish was seen to fall
into the water, and neither "was seen to
pass the other. My companion and my-
scu looked witn wonder. lnere was a
great commotion in the water with a
continuous spattering, and a boat being
handy we jumped in and rowed to the
spot, and picked up he largest pond
pickerel I ever saw. When we had him
in the boat the mystery was solved ;
the smaller of the fish had, in his eager
ness lor the swallow,' jumped .clear
down the larger one's throat, and only
the tail, to the extent of about an inch,
showed. The huge fish was completely
rent asunder and killed by" the catastro
phe. Both together weighed twenty
two pounds." "

Here it kin brief: Among the Scotch
Irkhteltlers Washington County Hk
1813 was a famBj named Plymire, who
oeeapied a eotaforUble farm aad hoase.
ftachel, the daughter, was Engaged to A
Vounr farmer of the heichhorhood. Oa
a Saturday ereaing m July, having
finished her Week's work, she dressed
herself tidily and started to visit her
married sister, who lived on a farm
about fire miles dktaat, intending to
return Monday morning. She tied up
her Sunday cown and hat in a check
ered handkerchief, and carried her
shoes and stockings in the other band,
meaning to walk in her bare feet and to
put them on when she came In sight of
her destination, after the canny. Scotch
fashion. She left homo about T o'clock
in order' to have the cool evening
for her walk. The road to the farm was
lonely ana unfrequented. The girl did
not return home on Monday, but no
alarm was felt, as the family thought
her sisler would probably wish to detain
her for a few days ; and it was not until
the latter part of tho week that it was
found that she had never'been'at her
sister's. The coaatry'was scoured but
in vain; the alarm spread, and excited a
degree of terror in the peaceable'da
meetic community, which would seem
Inexplicable to city people, to whom the
newspaper has brought a budget of
crime every morning since their child
hood. To children raised in those lone
ly hamlets and hill-farms murder was a
far-off, unreal horror; usually all that
they knew of it was from the doings of
Cain and Jael, set off with hideous
wood-cuts in the family Bible.
The girl had left home on Saturday
at seven o'clock. That night long be
fore ten o'clock (farmers go to bed with
the chickens) j a woman living in Green
County, about fortV miles from the Ply
mire farm, awoke her husband in great
terror, declaring that she had just seen
a murder done, and went on to describe
a place she had never seen before a
bill country with a wagon-road running
through it, and a girl wjth a bundle tied
in a checkered handkerchief, her shoes
and white stockings ia the other hand,
walking briskly down the grassy side of
the road. She was met by a young m an
the woman judged from their manner
the meeting was by appointment; they
sat down on a log and talked for some
time.
Tho man at last rose, stepped behind
her and drawing out a hatchet struck
her twice on the head. She fell back
ward to the wet, rotten leaves dead.
Fresently the man was joined by anoth
er, also young, who, asked: "Is it
doneP" Ho noded, and together- they
lifted the body and carried it away out
of her sight. After a while they came
back, found the bundle of Sunday finery
and tho shoes and stockings, all of which
were stained with blood. There was a
ruined old mill near tho road; they
went into it, lifted a loose board in the
flooring, put the bundle, shoes, etc.,
with the natchet, underneath, and re
placed the board. Then they separated
and went through the woods in differ
ent directions. The farmer's wife told
her dream to her husband that night;
the next day (Sunday), going to a little
country church she remained during
the intermission between the morning
and afternoon services. ' The neighbors
who had come from a circuit of twenty
miles to church, gathered, according to
their.homely habit, in the churchyard
to -eat their lunch and exqhange the
news. Our dreamer told her tory
again and againtfor she was impressed
by it; as if it had been reality. After the
afternoon service the congregation sep
arated, going to their1' widely-scattered
homes. There were thus many wit
nesses to certify to the fact that the
woman had told the dream the morning
after the murder was committed at a
distance of forty miles, when it was ab
solutely impossible that the news should
have reached her. There were no tele
graphs, we must remember, and no
railways in those days, not even mail
carriers in those jeclnded districts.
When the story of the girl's disap
pearance was told over the country at
the end of the next week, the people to
whom the dream had been repeated re
called i"" Nowadays the matter would
only serve as good material for the re
porters bat the men-of those days still
believed that God took an oversight
even of their dreams. Might not thk
be a hint from Him ? The Rev-Charles
Wheeler, a Baptist ckrgvmaa of Wash
ington, well known in Western Penn
sylvania and Virginia a generation ago,
and Ephraim Blame, Esq., a magistrate,
father of the present Senator from
Maine( And as,, popular a man in hk
narrower circle, drove over to see the
woman who had told the dream. With
out stating their purpose, they took her
and her husband, on pretense of busi
ness, to the Plyuire iarm. "'' It was the
first time in her life that.she had left
her own country, and she" was greatly
amused and interested. They drove
over the whole of the road down which.
Rachel Plymire-had gone.
"Hare. yonever seen thk neighbor
hood? " one of them asked.
"Never," she replied.
That ended the matter, and they
turned back, takiagsa Utthvased cross
road to save time. Fresently the woman
started up ia great agitation, crying:
"Thk kthV place I 'dreamed oft"
They.aamirel herthat KachelPlymire
has net been upon that road at all.' & I
knew nothing aboat hesji" she said,
" but the girVIsaw, in my dream came

turning you will find the log oa whkh

and of the groend the stelae ef bleo3.

TV fnltnwia estnet from a sriraie
letter written by Lkateaaat McCaaky,"
Third Cavalry, to hk father, the Kr.
Dr. McCaaky, ef Heading. P,.
published la .the Detf 7W of that
dty depict- the peculiar hardships aad
dangers ef f roatW life :
From the baOdiag of the statSon X
was ordered aorta by General Crook to
survey a new road from Fort Steele, six
teen mike east of Rawlins, oa the
Unioa Facile Railroad, to cro Saake
River and connect with the new road
to the sooth the object being to make
Steek, where are large Government
warehouses, the depot of suppli. in
stead of Rawlins, for White River.
Between Steele and Saake River lie
the continental divide of the Rocky
Mountain, the trend being here north
west and southeast, all water oa the
eastern side going into the Platte and
the Mkouri, whik Snake River aad its
tributaries belong to the waters of the
Gulf of California. It was on thk sur
vey that we encountered one of the
most terrible snow-storms I ever saw
in thousand of milt of travel in the
Rocky Mountains. During eight days
there was a daily torm, which km only
milder one day to gather strength appar
ently for the next. One day we made but
three miles; and another,after going one
and a half miles, the storm broke upon
us and compelled us to return to the
camp wo had left; and so each day we
attempted progress, but with varying
success. About twenty miles up the
Platte to tho soath from Steele crosses
tho nlil oniitrrant road, ninriine cast-
ward, the great highway in early daw of
the coaches and the celebrated Pony
Express, and still the route of emigrant
travel to the west and northwest. Hav
ing sent a courier back to Steele for a
pack-train, all our wagons having brok
en down, I concluded, while awaitieg
that and supplies, to go westward from
the crossing of the emigrant road and
measure the distance bV the Rawlins
road to Snake River, the junction of
which k at Sulphur Spring or Hum
phrey's Ranch, a station on tho courier
lino. . . ,
With the odometers in tho "buck
board "a light vehicle for mountain
travel in company with Judge HuguJ,
a wealthy merchant at Fort Steele, In
terested in the new road, I left camp on
horseback Saturday morning, and start
ed west over the emigrant road which
is, by the way, one of tho finest natural
roads of tho West. Wo reached Pine
Grove, or Errctt4s Ranch, thirteen miles,
about one o'clock in tho afternoon, find
ing but little snow on the way. All the
hollows on tho road and the banks of
dry streams had drifted full of snow
from two to four feet deep; and these
we passed by tramping a way for the
mules, or, when that was futile, in get
ting them over, first drawing over tho
buckboard with ropes fastened to the
double-tree on the opposito side. At
Pino Gaove tho road skirts tho base of
the mountains, and thence the road
begins to cross the Great Divide by the
Bndger Pass, so-called after Jim
Bridger, tho celebrated Rocky Moun
tain scout of olden days. Six miles
from Errctt's is tho summit of tho Pass,
which we reached at sunset the tongue
of the buckboard breaking on tho way
in getting it over one of tho many drifts
that wo encountered, deeper and deep
er a our ascent was greater. From tho
summit the outlook wa5 more gloomy
a3 the snow was observed deeper to tho
west. Tho road was covered from ono
to three feet, while here and there it
was bare from tho winds that blow al
most incessantly at these high altitudes.
We had our bedding with us and a
lunch, as our cooking utcusik we had
left behind in camp for the use of our
guide, who during our absonce was to
hunt tho easiest point of passago over
the rauge directly to the south in a
direct lino from Steele to tho other road
at Snake River. At Humphrey's or
Sulphur Spring, a fine ranch, I was
sure of a welcome, having always
stopped there whenever going north
and south, and therefore we pressed on
ward. Three miles' descent found tho
snow deeper and deeper, with drifts
near the road as high as twenty to thir-
At ono place, where for but twenty
feet tho road, crossing a ravine, was
hlnolul Htt a. drift in thn dee Des t Dart
ten feet, we were compelled to mako a
detour of a quarter of a mile, up mo
hillside, through the snow that was
nearly two feet deep our horses at
times sinking to their bellies. And so
for three hours we pushed on in our
descent, whcn,darkncss coming on, and
our stock being tired ont, I determined
to stop and remain there till daylight,
when wo could finish the remaining nine
miles of the Pass. Noticing to the right,
some 250 yards, a gulch in the hillside,
I rode up to it through tho enow, two
feet deep, and found some clumps of
box-elder which would answer for fire
wood; and thither we proceeded. The
Judge, however, by thk time had be
come alarmed, and, fearing a heavy
storm; and our being snowed in during
the night, called mo back and advised a
return to Everett's at once. We held a
council of war. To return was nine
miles, ahead the same. The latter way
we knew nothing of the roads or the
drifts, and so, as the skies and the ris
ing temperature indicated a storm, we
had Connolly, the driver, put our bed
ding on the mules, and, leaving the
buckboard to the mercy of the " beau
tiful snow," we bade it adieu and left it
as rapidly as possible. We had. scarcely
gone a mile before I noticed it becoming
warmer, and, while walking over a drift,
observed the snow so soft that I dropped
back and told Connolly to hurry on the
mules, as there was certainly coming a
tremendous storm.
It was very dark, so much so that we
could not see one hundred feet ahead,
only kept the way by riding between
the tracks of the wheels, made in our
going west. Before the summit was
reached the storm broke upon us ia all
Hs fury a high gale, fast-falling snow,
with a sudden falling of the tempera
ture. The night now became pitchy
dark and exceedingly cold, aad we had
to nut oa foot or ride with our heads
dowa low to watch the wagoa-ruts that
were being rapidly obscured by the fall
ing and drifting snow. Itwas so dark
that, whea twenty yards behind, each
one would be ont of sight, aad we were
coastaatir calling oat to find oat each
other's whereabouts. Aad so we pushed

the cabin was full of snowdrifts that I
W2is too weak to cros, I took to tho left,
over hilli from which the snow had
drifted off my dog leading mo, runniug
ahead, and then returning a if to hurry
mo on. Now and then, where the snow
was soft and very deep, ho would
flounder helplessly and moan, as ho did
during the ttorm and the lung hmins of
tho night, and then follow behind mo.
But, Unding I was too slow, ho would
hurry ahead and then return for mo.
Too weak with frosted hands to button
my overcoat for, as tho snow touched
my gloves, it froze 1 went on with tho
wind; but, when I had to partly face it
to turn toward tho cabin, so great waa
tho galo that it blow mo down, and
there was no way but to crawl at times.
And so, through tho deep snow
and over ridges, I finally
reached the haystack, less thati
half a square from tho cabin. The
latter I could not see, for the air was
thick with drifting snow. I therefore
lay down beside the fence until a lull in
the storm let me discover tho hoae,
which I reached as soon as possible, to
tho surprise of all inside, for a party
was about to start out to hunt mo. Our
stock and bedding were subsequently re
covered ; and, tho pack-train not arriv
ing at camp, I left for Fort Steele for
more rations and a new outfit, intending
to return after tliawing out fingers and
feet. It was the worst night but one
that I have ever spent in tho Kocky
Mountains, and the Judge says he
" wouldn't pass through another like it
for a million dollars."
Hence Horaco Greeley's advice
should be modified thusly: "Go West,
young man; go West!" but not till
tho springtime comes, gentle Annie,
or tho "beautiful snow" hath gone.

What He laew ef English.
I heard a funny story of a little Bos
ton boy the other day, which I think
has never been in print. Ilk father had
amused himself by teaching the bright
little fellow several words and phrases
in a number of languages, so that he
had quite a reputation as a linguist.
An Englishman of some note dinedwith
the family one day, and tho child was
much interested in watching him and
listening to hk conversation. After
dinner the guest took him on hk knee,
with the remark: " I bear you know a
great many languages; tell me how
many you know?" "Ot I know
French and German and Italian and
Spanish, and that k all." "But yoa
knowEnglkh?" "So! I don't know
Enjrlish," he answered, with a very
poMtivB shake of the head. "Yee.vou
do, certainly," perskted the English
man. "I tell you I do ao."' replied
the child, almost impatiently, and very
emphatically. "My papa knows En
glish, I s'pose, but only know two
words in English!" "And what are
they?" "'Ow aad 'orserBoaton
