It AVno to Dentil , Out Through No Linnlt of ilio'A'nrmal'fl A lJlty. "I'v& ' sdon It disputed hi thb papers that a wildcat or catamouiit , can ma | < o a lonp of t\vonty-flvo foot { " feald n Vol- dent of Sullivan county to n NoW York Sun cbrrcapondont , "arid I would Hko to inoiition what I saw a wildcat do once. 1 was trout fishing on otio of the upper tributaries of Iho Boavorklll , and had clambered down Into n deep ravine to point a tempting pool at thd foot of a full , where I was sure my cast3 \vould ho rewarded by the killing of some bly trout. I was not mistaken at that. I had landed four trout , the smallest ono eighteen Inches long , and sat down to'rest the pool.1 Both sides of the ravine wore perpendicular walls of rock , probably twonty-flve foot high. The summit of the walls on the side ol the creek opposite to mo sloped buck gradually from Its edge for several feet to a heavy growth of pino. "As 1 was sitting at the blltom of the ravine I happened to glance up to the top of the rocks opposite mo , and saw * a hen pheasant , accompanied by her newly-hatched brood , como out of the pines and scratch and peck her way along the sloping open space , hunting for Jood for her young , which clustered dlosbiy about hor. 'Jfno"'nheasant came very close to the precipice , aud 'it seemed to mo that gho wns placing her brood Ina moat dangerous position , when she turned as'lf to walk back with them to the plrlcs. The instant she turned somothihg'liko n shadow flitted across the ravine , arid half a second later Isaw an enormous wildcat ollng- Ing to the edged of thq opposite wall by his fore foot , holding the pheasant bo- twodli his jaws. The wildcat struggled fdr a moment to'drag himself from the edge of tho'aby&s tba & a sure footing on the top of the rocks , but his offbrt was In valrtV anfl ho came crashing 'do\v'n the face of the lirodipico , still holding the luckless pheasant in his jaws. Ho fell with a splash iii"tho Water , and lay motionless at the edge of the pool. I Suppose'd ' thut thp animal had been watching the pheasant , from the bushes on top of the rocks opposite .vhoro the bird had appeared * with her brood , and at his opportunity had jumped across to eeifce her ! but had * 'misjudged the dis tance and fallen short , with thd result so'Iatal to him. " "Tho whirr of the water brought the wildcat around .in a short time to the side where I was standing , and as 1 was bending down to o'xtimino him I saw'a man with a gun set-ambling down the rocks. The man soon reached my sldo , and T then learned that ho'had ' shot the wildcat as the animal was flying acrobs the chasm upon his prey. Sure enough , just at the base of the animal's brain was' the hole made "by the rifle ball. The hunte'r- had boon following the wildcat for some time , and had lost track of him , but came near the edge of the ravine in time to'soe him make his leap nnd follow-him with the bullet. It was that which had slopped tlio animal short in the tremendous leap it had cal culated on , or it would have cleared the space wlth safety and doubUess with ease. 'The wildcat was in reality al most in his death throes when ho struck the pheasant , which he'clung ( o with the clutch of'd.eath , and still liold in His mouth when we dragged him dut of the water. Wo measured the width of the chasm across which thb wildcat had made hisdeath , leap. ' The measure ment was fo'rty-thrbe'Ttcet.

' Driving into the fields ono day where her hufebntjd anil ethers were"at work , she oricountored a log lyhig'aCrosS ' the road'insuch a way that she , could not pass. As Jhoro was no ono near to help her and the log was beyond horstrength. to move , she proceeded to cut it in two with an axe she had in the wagon. To her surprise she found she had dis turbed a mother boar and her family of cubs. The bear , morn frightonbd than' ' angry , took to Iho woods , and the woman walked in search of J.ho . men and their fire-arms. Finding them , she conducted her rdllo ! party quickly back to the log 'to ' fiiHl that the boar had also returned. When all were stationed ready for action she again used her ax on the log , and the betir made her second appear ance , this time angry and vengeful. The man who stood ready for just this emergency missed his aim , dropped his gun. and with nil his other masculine companions took to his heels. Loft alone With the infuriated boast , -with only an ax' for defense , this Indian , \yomah coolly waited until the bear china near enough , and , letting the ax full with all her might upon its head , k'llod it with that ono stroke. The bamo weapon applied to three of the little brphans effectively prevented their ever realizing their loss , and the other she kindly adopted and carried , homo with hor. Reaching her homo nho found her husband , son and others asHomhlod there anxiously speculating as to what could have boon the result of the encounter they had failed to see ended.

BOTH AT THE OPEN DOOR. i . - - A Crazy Mother Doses an Infant With Carbolic AoldAVatf Guarded by c. Spaniel , Miirdnrod HOP Child. About 3 60lock * yesterday mbrnlng , a man nnd woman drove In.a closed carriage to the Open Door , nnd asked for the matron. Mrs. Clark mot them on the front porch , The inim carried ah Infant child , and said the female with him was the mother , nud wanted them both cared for at the nemo. Mrs. Clark received the unfortunate creature and her offspring , nnd put them to bod. Tlio young mother acted strangely. Iho man said she was crary , and had given the baby a dose of poison to kill it. On making nn examination , Mrs Clark discovered that the child's mouth , cheeks , chirt nnd neck , were burned black with carbolic ncld which the wretched mother had spilled trying to force a dose down tljo little throat. She at once took the poor thine to her own room and attempted to relieve It but her efforts proved fruitless , The bauy died nt 1 o'clock. Up to that tlmo , Mrs. Clark , refused to give the names of the par ties to the reporters. She told a Biu : man , however , that the woman's brother-in-law had brought her to the Open Door from his residence where she had given birth to the child. Shortly nftor the latter was born , nnd while left nlouo , the mother got out of her bed and searched through three rooms for the poison to murder it with. After telling Mrs. Clark the Bvy substan tially as related hero , and giving her some Instructions about what to do for the woman , the tnan who had accompanied her wont away. Coroner Drexel was notified and removed tha body lo'his establishment , where an in quest will bo hold nt 10 o'clock to-day. Ho wus unable to ascertain from Mrs. Clark the iiatno of the unnatural mother , though from other sources it was Icnrntid that she was named Clara Monycrs. The brother-in-law has not yet boon found out. The coroner says that there Is'no ' question that inuraor uas been comuiittcu , and will get nt the real facts to-morrow. The woman's sister and her husband nro very anxious to have the matter smoothed ever , but from present appearances it prom ises to develop into a decidedly bad state of affalri all -around. TUo girl's ' full name could not bo learned. The sister nnd her husband told THE BEE representative the name was Clara Myers , but there Is reason to believe this wus incorrect. She told Mrs. Clan ; her linmo was Lena. It is stated that the girl is n half- sister to E. A. Marsh , the butcher. The broth sr-irf-low U a bartender in the saloon at the corner of Saundcrs nnd Charles street. His name Is William Elleralek , and ho lives over the saloon'iu throe rooms. For n short time previous to October , of last year , ho kept the hotel and restaurant , known as the Now York hotel , nt 7i North Sixteenth street. The girl Lena was employed to work around the house , and she says that ono day when she wns making the bed In one of too rooms the man'Who occupied the room came in , locked the iloor , throw her on the bed and accomplished her ruin. Immediately > afterward ho took his valise and decamped , and she has not seen him slnco. She said nothing about the matter to nnvouo , but went on with her duties as usual. In October the family removed to their quarters , on Saunders street , and-tho girl went"wlth'them to assist her sister , who became the mother of twins. When Lena began to show symptoms of maternity she told her Bister she was suffering from dropsy , and as their moUier < ) md been afllictcd with the same complaint , her sister thought noth ing of tno matter. About lour days before Lena was confined Mrs. Eller- slck says the girl went to Drs. Belts ft Belts , on Farnam street , who told her what was tho.muttor with her. When she was confined Drr E. L..Alexander attended her. The baby was a fine looking , healthy child and wns.born Juno 5. , , The Ellorsicks were greatly excited nnd. very , much afraid , the affair wouldibccotno known.Evory precaution wasitaken to prevent - vent the neighbors from learning anything ottho affair , > , ISllorsIclc wont to Mrs. Clurk and asked , her if he couldbrinp the girl to tno Open-Door. He said they were cramped for room and his wife was not able to take caroof.tho girl. , The mother , and baoy were taken to the Open Door about a o'clock Tuesday morning. Elloislck gave as'a reason for coming at that lalo hour , that a haek would attract too much attention in the neighborhood of his honi6 earlier in the evening. * Mrs. Ellctsick was seen and says she doesn't know how or when thoi pirl got the bottle of carbolic acid with which she poi soned the baby , us she was only loft alone a few moments about 8 a. m. If this is the cose , it puts a very strange light on the whole affair , as the bottle of acid ID said to have been found in the kitchen , which would load to the supposition that the girl went out into the kitchen , about fifty fcet , > by herself , when tbo sister wus out , poured the acid inlo some ycssol , and ad ministered it later , or that she was assisted in the matter by some ono else , as the poison was given to the little ono some time in tlio afternoon. . The child must have screamed when the acid tuuchedjt , as the face and throat wore horribly burned. It seems strange that the sister's attention , was not attracted to the affair. , The girl herself professes entire ignorance of the occurrence , saying continually that she knows nothing abaut It. She asked Mrs. Clarlc if her baby was dead before anything i had been said to bor by anyone at the Open Door about the child , aud did not seem olther surprised or sorry when told it was dead. A Wall' in the Dark. Somebody left an infant at the Open Door Monday night expecting it to be taken in and cared for. At half past 1 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Clark , matron of the homo , and her hus band were aroused fioiu their slumbers by the cries of n child. For several minutes they were unable to locate them. Mrs. Clark arose nnd wont to the nursery , than Into every room , and finally to the door. As the door was opened a black spaniel bounded across the yard , put his front paws up against her , and whined most mournfully. She followed the unlmal , ana found a bundle which she carried to the building. The dog kept up such a scratching and balking that ono of the nurses finally ad mitted him also. In the bundle was discovered a 1 calthy- looking male child , apparently about six weeks old , with blade hair , blacl ? eyes , and dressediOxcopt.jis to an out < sldo wrap , which was old and dirty , in clean white robes. , On the band of the long understcrt | , Mrs. Clurk made out the name of u promi nent family iu > thls city , but refuses to make it known. "I am satisfied , " aha said , "those people know nothing about this affair , and have nothing whatever to do with It. Probably they are acquainted witli the mother , and gave her tbo skirt , or it might have been stolon. Anyway , I shall not expose them until nn Investigation has been nude. I hope to find out who the parties are who have abandoned such a beautiful aud bright up- pcanug child.

" It arose suddenly from the plain in the spring of 1770 , in midst of what had boon for nearly n hundred years the profitable estate of Senor Don Balthazar Ernzo , who was nbsont from the country at the time , nnd was greatly lunnzod upon liis return to' discover" that his magnificent coiree nnd Indigo plantation had , with out his kriowltiugo or consent , boon ex changed for a first-class volcano. In Uocomboi17G9 , the peons on the hacienda wore alnrmod by terrific rum blings Under the ground , constant trem blings of the earth and frequent earth quakes , which did not extend over the earth as usual , but su6mod to bo con fined to that particular locality. They loft the place in terror when the trem blings nnd noises continued , nnd re turning n week or two nftor , found that all the building had been shaken dovrn , trees * uprooted and largo craters opened in the Holds , which had been level earth boforo. From those craters smoke nnd steam issued , nnd occasionally 11 am os were soon to como out of the ground. Some bravo vaouoroa or herds men remained near by "to watch devel opments , and February 24 , 1770 , they were entertained by n spectacle -that no other men have boon permitted to witness ; for about 10 o'clock on the morning of that day the grand up heaval took place. < and it scorned to thorn , as they tiled in terror , that the whole universe was being turned Up- sidodown. First there was a series of terrible explosions , which lifted the crust of the earth several hundred foot , and out of the cracks issued fiamcs ol lava and imnjcnso volumes of smoke , An hour or two after wards there was another and a grander convulsion * which shook and startled the country for n , hundred miles around. Rocks weighing1 thousands of tons were hurled into the air , nnd fell ' several leagues distant. The surface of the earth was elevated about three thous and foot , and the internal recesses were purged ofjmasses of lava nnd blistered etono , which fell Ln a heap around tlio hole from which they issued.

In thio manner wasa volcano born , and 'it has proved to bo a healthful nndvigorous child. In less than two months from a level field rose a mountain more * than lour thousand feet high , and the constant discharges from the cralar which opened then have accumulated round its edges until its elevation has increased 2,000 feet moro.

The Hawkhurst is a British -steamer , and belongs to the packet line running between Antwerp , London and Brazil. Captain Robertbon at ono time was master of the bark Amornuill ot Nicar- augua and the steamer Elstow of Lon- don.
