fILLANY-PERHAPS MURDER!
a Horse has been recently found dead at the
bottom OF precipice near the summit of the
Blue Ridge, little South of the turnpike in Snic>
kers zap. On examining the top Of the cliff
the footsteps OF horse were distinctly traceabe,
ior considerable distance, showing at the verge
OF tne summit, the different positions in which he
had been placed, and atfording inconte,tible evil
dence that the animal had been precipi,ated by
some villain or villains. The landing place being
about seventy yards from the summit, overriding
with huge projecting rocks. against which the an
imai alternately struck in his descent. The first
conJectures to which this discovery gave rise,
were numerous and various: but several DAYS hav-
Ing elapsed, and no owner appearing, it at length
became, and still is, the general opinion that the
owner must have been some unfortunate stranger
VINO had money, and whose body has been con-
eddy the hand OF an assassin: and indeed, when
the circumstances connected with the discovery
are duly examined and weighed, it appears not un-
reasonable at least, to fear that this melancholy
conjecture is TOO well founded. The horse is a
DAY, with black name and tail, about 10 hands,
shod all round. supposed to be ten years old, and
appears 10 have been fine gelding.
Editors oil papers, II is hoped, will be induced
10 give the above insertion.
Loudoun County, Va Sept. 6, 1926.
We state, on an authority which we know NAV
be trusted, that 1t is not true that the Count de
Survilers has asked for permission TO reside al or
10 visit Brussels. lie is entirely contented with
bis residence in this country, which he continues
TO consider the most happy in the word; an opin-
ion, which, il may be remembered, he expressed in
his letter OF thanks to the Inhabitants OF New
Jersey, who eaerted themselves to extnguish the
tire Of his house about six years ago. He speaks
still in the same terms of attachment to his friends
and neighbours, and of contentment with his situa
ton; and is far from desiring TO quit country
where in eleven years he has never met with
painful or unpleasant occurrence.
As TO the millions which the editor of the Paris
Quotidienne has so generously bestowed upon him,
it is certainly very absurd exsggeration, con-
trived with n" kind intent. The liberaliry of his
expenditures, by which the public as well as indi-
vidaa!. are benefited, and the extent and f.equen-
cy of his benevolent donations, bespeak con.dera-
bic resources; but it was truly said, by an old
officer - no received assistance from him. that
while he has the heart of king, his purse is tina,
OF private gentleman. He has seated himself
among the farmers of New Jersey, where he main
tains kind and generous hospitality, without any
idle ostentaton that could provoke censure from
the most severe He may be found directing his
laborers, who are all attached 10 him, on his own
estate, or In the public road, in the improvement
OF which he has expended large sums of money. In
the space of or 800 yards he has nearly levelled
two steep and dangerous hills at the cost of about
$4,000; and we believe that he prefers this plain,
active and useful life 10 The parade and magnifi-
cence which the Quotidienne has prepared for him
at BRUSSELS. His public work he considers as some
Acknowledgement and return for the protection and
hospitality he has enjoyed in the United States
A great number oil The iabouring and industrious
class OF our citizens, find constant employment
with him; and the increase of comfort and pros
perity among them, at and near Bcrdentown, is
very striking, anc will be durable. Nat. Ga.
The publication OF Recipes for diseases without
knowing whence they come, or even the nature of
the medicine prescribed, has become too common
in our country, and led. in various instances TO
fatal consequences. Some years ago recipe was
published, recommending large doses of sui phur for
the rheumatism. A gentleman in North Carolina
tried 1t, and was cured of the rheumatism it is true;
but was entirely deprived of the use Of his limbs
for the rest of his life The following letter gives
the fatal result of another trial of miserable Quack
Recipe. The only wonder is that both, father and
daughter, did not fall victims TO their TOO easy Gre
duliiy. Bit. Pat.
POINT PLEASANT, near KinsaLe,
northumberland, Tirsinia, Sept. 10, 1926
TO the Editor ofthe Baltimore Patriot.
SIR An instance ofthe fatal effects of euakery
has recently occurred in this County near my res
idence, and as the fatal recipe is now going the
rounds OF the newspapers, at the instance OF nv
neighbors, Communicate the intelligence TO you,
hoping that no time may be lost in endeavoring to
stop the administering of so deadly poison :
Will briefly relate the cases. For some time poor
man, neighbor named ClementT. Fate, has been
afflicted with the ague and fever he was told of the
remedy oil Gin & Sulphur, taken Just before the
ague-he procured some Gin and Powdered Brim-
stone, and administered to himself one pint of the
mixture, and to bis daughter, an interesting Girl of
about is years old, gills, the eject of it was this
1t produced most violent fever and derium in
both of the Victims Mr. Tate is slowly recovering,
but his poor daughter being of more weakly con-
sil,ution, suffered much and died in the greatest
agony on the 18th inst. II is believed that the re-
cipe first made its appearance in one Of the Norfolk
or Washington prints.
You can use this as you fit. hope the pro-
mitigation of the recipe will be stopped. Yours
with respect,
ARCHIBALD r. FARQUHAR, Jr.
