The way the intended instruction was de-
feated in Belgium is rather singular, Several
thousand Belgians and Frenchmen left Paris
to raise the standard Of revolt. A conduc-
tor Of the railroad train, with anti-reyolution-
airy propensities, instead Of stopping at Va
lenciennes, the last town on the French terri
tory, from which the invading legion was to
march on foot into Belgium, proceeded direct
ly into Guievrain, Notwithstanding the cries
and curses Of the legion. On the arrival Of
the train at Valenciennes, where the French CHI
gines were generally detached, the Belgian,
engine, as usual, approached, and was attach
moving off, when the alarm was given by some
one in the station that the whole party was
betrayed. About one hundred Immediately
jumped out Of the carriages; but tho engineer,
having had his instructions, proceeded at the
top Of his speed across the frontiers, and did
not stop until he and his cargo safely arrived
at Guievrain. The train ran directly into the
Guievrain station, Here were drawn up Q
body Of troops and 10000 peasants, who sur.
rounded the invaders and took the whole de.
tOchment prisoners. Several other detachment.
entered Brussels. Some retired ON learning
the fate Of their comrads. One met the mill
tary, and after fighting with gallantry for
while, were qssailed from the artillery, wher
they fled, having about four hundred of thei
number behind in killed and wounded.

The Pptria, contains later news from Ynca-
tan, bywhich we learn that the violation Of the
late treaty was the act Of the whites, and not
Of the Indians. The Patria says: 1t appears
that the Indians coniding in the treaty ~ofpcace
recently concluded, entered the town Of Itur-
io, whore they were very well received by
rhe inhabitants, In a short time a party Of
Campeaciean troops arrived, commanded by q
certiin BaqueIro, who, when he as informed
that there were Indians within the town, de-
termined to attack them, in spite of the treaty
although he was informed by the people that
they had committed no deprcdations. Boqueiro
however, carried his intention into effect, and
expelled the Indians from tie town. The In
dians sent word to Pat, who Immediately des-
patched a reinforcement sufficiently large to
take the town and overcome the troops Of Ba-
querio, and these heroes, on the approach
Of the Indians, Immediately took to flight, and
did not stop until they reached Cainpeachy,
90 leagues distant. Merida and IzamoI are.
well fortified, their garrison consisting Of Ind
ans Of He coast.

dog among US on Saturday last, hydtophoPla
has been HE only topic 81 news, We there
fore publish by reqaesttho following for gen
eraI Information:
THE symptoms Of maaness are concisoly
sumtaed up by Daniel, in the following
words "At frsl tito dog looks doll, shews an
aversion 10 Ills fold and company, does NOT
bark as usual, but seems to 1nnrlaur; is peev-
ish and apt 20 bite strangers; Ing ears and tail
drop more rhan usual, and he appears drowsy;
afterwards he begins 10 loil out Nis tongue and
froth at the mouth, his eyes seeming heavy and
watery; II rot confined he soon goes off, runs
painting along with d detected air, and endeav-
ors to bite any enc he meets AS persons are
continually alarmed at the approach Of every
strange dog, the following observations found
ed on experience may be Of service in know
ing what dogs to avoid: Il have seen many
mad dogs bat ncyerknow one in that state 10
curl ills tuil. This Is a certain indications Of not
being mad: Ifyou see adQg dirty al The mouth,
coming at a trot with his head high, and a
dropping tail, avoid him as viper: Or il yon
see one sitting sickly an dirty at the mouth,
avoid him, though ii is not likely that he will
snap at yon in that period Of fhe disease. !
never met a mad dog, On being p%ufeucd, Gf
his pufsuers were not in actual reach tq stone
him, &c. to exdibitany signs Of fear, he gen
orally goes if not impeded, in a straight line
against the wind at a brisA trot, wholly un-
concerned al the Shouts d the multitude puy-
suing him and never squats his tail1'
Blaine describes il as commencing sometimes
by dulness, stupidity aud retreat from obser-
v%ationy but more frequently, particularly in
those dogs that are immediately domesticated
around Us, by some alteration in Their natqra
habits; as a disposition to pick up and swallow
every minute object on the ground or to lick
the parts Of another dog incessantlyi or to laE
his own urine, &c. About the I'd or Sd day
the disease usually resolves into one Of two
types. The one is called raging and The Other
dumb madness. I'll
In raging madness the dogs are irritable and
s%nappisn, and will fly at suck held to them
and are impatient Of restraint. Till the last
momont they will often acknowledge the voice
oftheirmaster or yield some obedience. They
will not usually turn out Of their way 10 bite
human persons, but will to bite dogs aud 9TH
Ell animuls.
In duub madness dogs seldom bark, the
jaws drop p%aralytic and the tongue Tolls out
Of the mouth, black and slrangalated. They
have a strong disposition to eat trash, such as
straw, wood, coal, dirt, &c. Blaine also says
that dogs in d state Of madness, are very
DESTROYS Of walter, and lap it eagerly. He lays
great stress on the noise made, which is Meth
era bark nor howl but a compound Of both.

ADVERTISING.

Our readers will find a number of new
advertisements, in our colums, this week, to
which we invite their attention. Let no
one look with Indifference upon the adver-
tiscments of a newspaper. They are not
only important to the advertiser, bot to the
public as well as the printer. Advertising is
the very life and essence of good news
paper, which gives strength and vigor TO
its character. 1t is the natural salt and
seasoning that sustains and preserves it,
Show us paper that has meagre adverti-
sing patronage, and it will, as a general
rule, exhibit on its face the want of this
proper alienment to nourish and sustain it.
For the truth of this we might refer to the
columns of all our abest Journals. Besides,
it gives character to the place, to business
and to all concerned.

THE MEXICAN CONGRESS : NO QUORUM

AUGUSTA, March 26, 1913.
The Overland Express brings New Orleans
papers of the Goth inst, an Extra Picayune,
containing later news from Mexico, brought
by the arrival of the steamship Massachu-
sets, and the ship Danvers, from Vera Cruz.
The dates are to the 18th inst
The armistce which has been signed, pro-
vides that the American troops are not to oc-
cupy any part of the country that is not now
in their possession The collection of taxes
is also TO be suspended, except upon ganb-
ling houses, liquor shops; and places of amuse-
ment. 1t also stipulates that when an cleo
ton is to be held in any place occupied by
the Americans, that the troops are 10 with
draw out of the limits of the town until the
election is over. There are a number of
other articles giving the Mexicans the entire
right of government
General Lane left the Capital on the 18th
ult and about the fourth day he arrived at
Tehual:apalan. Before that place was rea-
ched he received information that a thousand
Mexican lancers were stationed there. They
were received with voley from escopettes;
on arriving opposite the first house at the
edge of the town. This was repeated from
every house throughout the town, but the enc
nv were soon driven from their positions
with considerable loss. They then collected
in body outside of the town, when they
were pursued by General Lane and Colonel
Hays ana terribly cut up.
The number killed is estimated at one
hundred Meyicans, while the loss of the
Americans was only one killed and four
wounded. About fifty prisoners were taken,
among them was Captain Mountanee and
two Lieutenauts Lieut. Colonel Mountanee'
the father of the Captain. and bosom friend
of father Jarauta, escaped.
II is rumored that General Pillow and
Worth had been restored to their commands.
The anniversary of the declaration of the
American troops was celebrated at Vera
Cruz on the 9th inst.
Some difficulty had occurred with the
Aguntee of the Capital in relation to suspend
ing the assessment of taxes for four days, till
the arns,ce was signed The members
had all sent in their resignation to the Cover
nor.
The Archbishop at the capital had submit
ted IA written protest against the heavy as
sessments that had been levied upon tn,
Church property.
Santa Anna was again at Tcheuan on the

THE MURDER AT PHILADELPHIA.

The late murder at Philadelphia, ofwhich
our readers will find full account in our
columns, is one of the most cold blooded
and horrible acts of the kind, we have ever
recorded The murderer it seems, has been
actuated solely by spirit of revenge, and
blinded by his malice, has wreaked his
vengeance by imbruing his hands in the
blood of innocence. The persons who tes-
tilted against him several years previous,
for having stolen the velvet from the pulpit
ofa church, at that time occupied the dwell
ling of his unfortunate victim whom he no
doubt intended to murder. Since the ar
rest OF the murderer, the proofs have so
thickened, that conviction seems no longer
doubtful. Such was the excitement ofthe
populace, during the examination of the
prisoner in the state House, that the Mayor
feared his rescue, and summary execution
under Lynch law.
The neighbours have been guilty of the
most shameful and criminal neglect, as ap-
pears from the testimony of one of them,
John Frank, who in coming home at 2
O'Clock at night, discovered some one lurk-
ing near the premises, he says
He has a distinct idea of his general ap.
pearance, and it was that of the prisoner /;
when the murder happened, was awake !;
heard Mrs. Rademacher halloo out she ap.
peared TO halloo every time she got blow ::
when witness first heard her scream, he
jumped out of bed, with his wife, and went
to the window.
Heard loud screams; she said don't kill
me;' Mr.. Randemacher said, 'oh my God,
what have done p Mr.. r. hallooed smur-
der! very often Mrs. r. cried out eight or
nine times; the cries became more faint,

MIME HILL & SCIIUYLKILL HAVEN RAIL
ROAD EXTENSION.

hOhD
The Governor has signed the bill, giving
the Mine Hill s. Schuylkill Haven Rail
road, the right to extend their road to Sha-
mokin. The road will be extended from
the present terminus, near Coal Castle, to
Ashland, over the Broad Mountain, with
out delay. From thence, to Shamokin,
there will be no serious difficulty in making
the road, while the inexharstable beds of
fine coal on the route, will afford induce
ments of no ordinary character, to its early
completion. When this is once completed,
the road from this place to Shamokin,
would become a most valuable and impor-
tant link, and would soon induce capitalists
to relay the same with heavy iron rails,
which the coal-trade alone, would Justify,
independent of the lumber, grain, iron sc,
seeking the Philadelphia market. To Dam
vile also, branch will be made, to accom-
modate the vast iron trade of that region.
All of which, would make the road from
the Susquehanna TO the Schuylkill, one of
the most profitable in the state.
