their intercourse 'with the female members of the congrega- 

 tion. We)!, lie dropped his horns, and in leas time than it 

 takes to tell the story, the knowledge was disseminated 

 throughout the herd. The deer all crowded about the de- 

 spoiled monarah, shorn Df'Miis weapons of offence and de- 

 fence, and before be could realize the: full extent of his 

 misfortune, made ft concerted attach upon him, the bucks 

 leading the assault In a twinkle, and although ho made a 

 gallant Struggle Tor his life, he was placed horn du combat. 

 Hew;, butted and kicked till his head and 



sides streamed With blood, shoved this way and that with all 

 the fury up; each action that the pent up spite 



of years could render itself capable of, and, finally, was 

 reluctantly compelled to relinquish the ghost. Several of 

 the employees of the Department of Common and Public 

 Grounds, and Mr. Doogue, the Superintendent, witnessed the 

 affray, and attempts were made to drive off the old fellow's 

 assailants, hut it was of no use. Each attempt was resented 

 by the iuf uria U ! the en- 



closure with pacific intentions was obliged to tiee for his 

 life. The aiurdei ■■■■... the fury of 



the animals became appeased, and the dead carcass was re- 

 moved from the arena. 



A MirNE Bbak Story. — While spending the summer in 

 Dixfield, Maine, I heard the following story: A party were 

 huckleberrying on the hills near Weldpond. It is quite wild 

 IW that region, and much frequented by bears and deer. It 



wus late in the afternoon, and they had parted company and 

 started for home. One of them bad to go through a thick piece 

 of woods, and as he was hurrying along he heard a 

 in the. bushes. He halted, and presently a bear cub made 

 his appearance. The man, thinking that he would capture 

 the cub, approached him, and taking a doughnut from his 

 basket, gave it to the cub, which swallowed it, down as 

 though it was good. Just at that moment he saw the old 

 bear looking at him. As he did not have even a pocket- 

 knife he grasped his basket, and struck out, through the woods. 

 After going a short distance he looked behind him and saw 

 the cub following at his heels, and the old bear not far off. 

 The cub evidently wanted some more doughnuts. Both of 

 the bears followed him for about a mile out into a clearing.

Fbrh Lodge, Waterville, Nova Scotia, Dec. 27.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: I observe in your issue of D* c. 1 a 

 notice of the "Divining Rod" a- •:■ i, :.;on to the 

 purpose of "well-finding." I never before heard of the 

 superstitious wand being used for finding underground 

 currents of water ; indeed, I was always under the impres- 

 sion that its only use was that of determining (?) the locality 

 of mineral veins. As far as I can recollect I never knew 

 such an implement to be in use in our part, of England, and 

 would certainly like to know if its use was ever known there 

 or in Ireland or Scotland, or any portion of the Contiuent of 

 Europe. It was only on my becoming a resident in Nova 



Scotia some 21 years ago that I became acquainted with it. 

 I happened to be speaking one day to the old rector of our 

 village church about, the recent finding of gold in one or two 

 localities near fialifax, when he immediately began a dis- 

 course upon the merits of the " mineral rod," as he termed 

 it, which he informed me never failed in his hands to point 

 steadily downward to the spot where mineral or buried 

 treasure lay. I could scarcely help smiling at, the very 

 positive way in which the old man expressed his confirmed 

 belief in the unvarying character of the rod, but of course, 

 although he claimed such wonderful merit for the instru- 

 ment, 1 never heard of his having used it with any effect. 

 Now, as we must all know this rod and its divinings to be 

 arrant nonsense, yet it would be interesting to know its 

 origin. Can any of your readers enlighten usoa the subject ?

" The Ideal Sportsman." — Collinsville, Conn., Dec. 30. — 

 Permit me to thank you and " H. P. IT." for a glimpse of 

 the " Ideal Sportsman." It is the voice of the brook and the 

 wave, the song of the woods and fields, a most beautiful 

 appeal to a man to be a lord above the bird or beast he pur- 

 sues. I will have the letter framed and hung in the range, 

 for the nearer we get to this "ideal" the closer we hit to the 

 12.— " A Miss."
