Tt was toward the west that he' finally turned. funning down-the. street with such speed that I had the utmost difficulty to keep at his side. It was near midnight.

Sew York Sun. r 1FATHEH HUIXSOX AND THE SllAHK. : The Santa Cruz Courier-Item gives the follow . 1ng account of the recent tussle in Han t a Cruz Bay 'between Rev. Father Hudson, of Clilroy, and a shark, noticed In the dispatches : .... . .-. . Father Hudson swam from the beach out to a raft; and on his return felt a sharp pain in one of his heels. Turning his head he saw an enormous fish, which Jie supposed to b ahark,1 ajnmrently "Intending to make a breakfast of liini. - lie cried for. help and swam" vigorously, meanwhile fight ing his enemy a9bcsthe.couhLwith.leg and armsr Oil his way shoreward he was met by K. J. Henderson, who, hearing his cries, was going to- his rescue, and by him was assisted to the . shore. Father Hudson was conveyed us speedily - as possible to the Catholic parsonage on the hill, and Drs. Clark and Fagen dressed his wounds: A severe gash, several Inches long, was cut deej iu his right thigh, the fleshy part of one heel cut loose; and a number of short gashes along the left leg. One band was also badly cut across the back. A reward of one hundred dollars was offered for the 'capture of the shark, ami all the fishermen Joined nets and forces to capture the monster. Early Hunday morning they succeeded in entrapping the vicious Ash, which proved to be what is com nionly known as a thrasher, In Ichthyology called ' a sea-fox, or a fox-shark, on account of Its fox-like tall., which Is Its weapon of offense and defence. It is probable that Father Hudson hit the fish - wi(h Jls foot Juwlmmlngr when he felt the sting ing sensation In his heel, and that this Uninten tional assault maddened the thrasher, when it ap plied Its tall vigorously to the, reverend gentle man, Inflicting the scries of gashes .before men tioned. As it followed him to shallow water It then bit him. The thrasher when safely landed was found to measure -elyht feet three Inches lii length, equally divided between its body and tail. The tall Is like a gigantic file, and with Its im- r mense power Is capable of doing great execution. although lt does not attack, human beings unless molested. The curious fish was puttn exhibition for a fee of twenty-five cents, to raise the, amount of the-reward, and the receipts for the first day were nearly sixty-five dollars.--On Monday after noon Dr. aux dissected and examined Its stom ach, which was found to contain a small piece of cloth and a jewflwh. The tltof cloth was fully "Identified as a portion of flie"bari1t)g suit worn by Father Hudson, thus leaving no doubt that the fish caught was the right one. - An account was recently given to the British Royal Society of the transplanting of a bone,, the ftrstsuccessful Instance of the kind ever recorded. A piece of diseased bone had to be removed from the arm of a' boy or three, years In a Olasgow In firmary. Fifteen months after the operation no new pone formation had appeared, and the exner- Impnt 0 Iwtite prutHntr ww n mistaken On three different occasions portions of human bone were transplanted, the grafts being taken from patients from whom wedges of bone had to be removed for the purpose of straightening their limbs. " These wedges were divided into many small. pieces and placed In the child's arm. The' fragments grew together and adhered to the bone of the arm above and below, ultimately converting a useless arm Into a thoroughly useful one by the formation of a complete bone. . In Carlyle's "RemlnlsccncesliJi ysnepslarahdrhow he once rode sixtv mllea to hdinburg "to consult a doctor, bavin? at last' re- duoed my complexities to the single question : Is this disease curable by medicine? or Is It chronic, Incurable except by regimen, If even so? This question I earnestly put;, got the, response: 'It la all tobacco sir; give up tobacco. Gave H In stantly and strictly up. Found, after long months, that I might as well nave ridden sixty miles in the opposite direction," and oured my sorrows Into tne long, hairy ear of the first Jackass I came upon as Into this select medical man's, .whose name I will not mention."
