REMARKABLE FACTS OF A MAD DOG.

A dog belonging to Mr.. james McKoy,
who lives four miles northeast of Aurusta.
went mad, and in his travels committed the
most extensive depreciation. Rumor has it
that the dog had been bitten three weeks
previous to his going mad. by another dog
known to have been mLid but being a
great favorite with his master, he tied him
up and refused to kill him when attacked
with the disease, in his paroxys,n, he broke
from his fastenings and cscaped-having.
however, before leaving his masters premi-
ses, bit two Of his horses, which have since
gone mad. lie then took course westward.
on the Warsaw and Augusta road, and
when about three miles from his starting
point, overlook Mr.. Patcl,in, who was return
Ing home from Augusta in wagon, to his
home near Chill !; one of his horses the dog
bit, and the animal has since gone mad.-
lie next overlook two strangers on horse
back, one Of whom was leading n third
horse; these three horses the dog bit, but
rs the travellers proceeded on their journey,
1t is not known whether fatal results follow
cd or not. At the residence of Mr.. james
Mutt he bit one horse, which has since gone
mad. At Wiglctown, he Lit two horses
Zone since mad,) also, two steers, tone since
mad,) aud twelve hogs. Next lie bit fine
mare, (since mad,) for Mr. Hart. Next lie
bit very fine horse, (since mad,) also three
head Of horses, Zone since mad,) also a cow
and calf, (both since mad.) Next at Syl.
vester Crouclcs', he bit ono horse, (s,nce
mad,) and five sheep, Gall now dead) Next
he went to William Taighman's, bit scve, al
hogs, two very largo ones, estimated at 500
pounds each, (since gone mad,) and Ole
steer. At WiIlamson's, bit ono COW.
(since mal) Next lie fell in with old Mr..
Hickman and his son. lie sprang at the
boy with such force as to throw him down.
but did not bite him. a large dog of Mr..
lis being in company, seized him and
drove him off. lie, however, before leaving
his premises, bit one, (since maJ.) Next
he had nm encounter with Mr.. Blake's dog.
After this lie went North to Mr.. Adams,
and bit one steer. Next he went to John
Stuart's and attacked him. Mr.. Stuart de-
Tended himself with a hoe, and finally sue
ceedcd in killing the animal.
The stock bitten was estimated to be
worth $4,000, and already gone mad ST..
500. None Of the animals bitten went
mad short Of three weeks from the time
when bitten. The dog ;"-e,;oLly caught
his victim by the nose. Most of the dam
age was done in the night, lie having left
his masters house about dusk, and was
killed about noon Of the next day. Var.

POPPING THE QUESTION,
by TOM PIPES.
:. a coach so slo,r.

a coach so slo,c
That cen tortoise with his moping gait,
Would pass it in the race OLD Play.
Some young men are susceptiblc-f.l in
love and are constant in their affections, but
through timilty are backward in disclosing
the state of their feelings to the only object
who would take a deep interest in the sub
Ject. Cases have occurred where a young
and blooming maiden, after waiting q sea-
sonable time for an eligible but very basil,
ful swain to pop the question, and finding
him still standing aloof, has suddenly and
very properly left him in the lurch, and be-
slowed her hand and affections on a rival
who 1t not more meritorious in every point,
knew how TO act promptly, and had a
tongue in his head. A young lady, who
possesses tact and presence Of mind can
sometimes help her silent lover amazingly,
in bringing these tender matters to crisis
and without even violating the conven.
tional rules Of propriety, or maiJenly deli.
cacy.
The course adopted by Laura Glencoe,
to secure husband, who was decidedly
sto'o, is a case in point. She was pleased
with james Dewson, and he worshipped the
ground she trod upon-but poor fellow, had
never dared to tell his love She cave
him every reasonable encouragement to
speak right out-but he continued to sigh,
look foolish i'll her company. twirl his
thumbs, and holdhispeace! Matters might
have remained in this unsatisfactory state
for years, If Laura, who was smart as we'll
as good girl, had not seized golden OPP
portunity, and made him pop the question,
without knowing it!
They were taking a sentimental walk in
the country-but she was not changing on
hls arm," as is customary among lovers
They came to muddy spot in the road,
and the instructive politencss of james,
prompted him to offer assistance TO the love-
ly girl who was with him. lie turned to-
wards her with a kind look, and said in
rather an earnest tone, "Give me your
hand, Miss Laura, and" But she did
not allow him to finish the sentence. "Oh,
james" said she, looking confused, ado
you really mean it? Well, if it must be
so, will give it freely, and my heart too.
But dear James, you must ask pas consent
only as matter Of form you know and
yon had better do it at once"
And SO the meter was settled 70 their
mutual satisfaction.- -ONpe Branch,

sal rules, and command every one to follow
them. We are indebted for most of them
to that excellent manual, the Illustrated
Register of Rural Affairs, every line of which
is text in itself for a more elaborate ar;;-
Gle:
Never keep animals on short allowance
If you starve them, they will surely starve
you.
Although, i'll draining land thotoughIy,
your purse may be drained, yet the full
crops that will follow will soon fill it again.
Trying to farm without capital is like
trying to run locomotive without fuel
Money and wood must both he consumed,
if they are to move the machine Of the farm
or Of the rail.
Always give the soil the first meal. If
this is we'll fed with manure, it will fed all
e'se-Plants, animals and man.
If you wish to give an energetic move
lnent TO all your farm machinery, and keep
its hundred wheels in rotation, be sure not
to be without good rotation of crops.
If you allow your animals to shiver, your
fortune will be shvered in consequence
that is, a farmer who leaves his cattle to the
winds will find his profits also given to the
winds.
Heavy carrot crops for cattle will soon re-
turn carats of gold.
Did you ever hear the musical notes of a
starving herd of hogsa Extinguish By food
those notes speedily, if you would avoid
even more annoying notes after payday
has passed.
Many farmer, by too sparihg1y seeding

novel case was recently decided by tho
Kentucky Court Of Appeals. The facts are
these: Ellen Bell, the appellant, married
Samuel Bell, her son inlay. lie died.
leaving Ellen, his widow, and several chill
drcd, by the daughter of Ellen. Tile heirs
OF Samuel refused to assign dover TO Ellen.
whereuron she brought suit against tho
heirs i'll the Trinble Circuit Court Judca
Pryor. then presiding, though, the marriage
was prohibited ly The statutes of 1898, and
thetcfoie toid, and lie dismissed the suit Of
Ellen. From this decision Ellen appealed.
lie Court Of Appeals held, first, that the
marriage between woman and her son-in-,
law was not prohibited by the act Of 1908.
SECOND, that the net did not prol,iLi. tie
marriage, still Under the provisions of tho
act The marr'age was only roiduble and tho
wife was entitled to dover unless sentence
OF divorce was declared and further. that

PREMONITIONS.

efhaps the lollOwlnS cases are even more
curious than those we published last we, L.
One is related of Professor Bohn, teach, r
Of mathematics at MarLurg, by Stilling.-
lie was suddenly seized with conviction.
one evening, whilst in company, that lie
ought to SO home. But being very COM
fortably taking tea, he resisted the almoni-
tion, until it returned with such force that,
at length, he was obliged to yield. On
reaclIng his house, l,e found everything rs
he had left it; but lie now felt himself ur
ged TO remove his bed from the corner in
which it stood, to another he resisted this
impu'sion also. However, absurd as il
seemed, hc felt lie must do it so lie sum
moncd the maid, and, with her aid, drew
the bed to the other side Of the rooti; af-
ter Which, lie felt quite at case, and returned
to spend the rest Of the evening with his
friends. At ten o'clock the party broke up,
he retired home, went to bed and TO sleep.
In the middle Of the night lie was awakened
by loud crash. a large hcam had fallen
bringing part Of the ceiling with it, and was
lying exactly OF the spot lis bed had occu-
pied. Another is related Of gentleman
who, when absent from home once, was
seized with such an anxiety about his family,
that, without being able in any way to nc
count for it, lie felt himself impelIed to flv
to them and remove them from the house
they were inhabiting, one wing of which
fell down Immediately aftetward. No no.
ton of such a misfortune had ever before
occurred to him, nor was there any reason
whatever to expect it, the accident oricina-
ting from some defect in the foundation.-
One Of the most singular cases of PRESENT.
ment is affirmed to have occurred on board
ofa British ship, while off Portsmouth. The
officers being one day ut the mess-table, a
young Lieutenant p. suddenly laid down
lis Anife and fork, pushed away his plate.
and turned extremely pale. lie then rose
from the table, covered his face with his
hands, and retired from the room. The
President Of the mess, supposing him TO he
i'll, sent one Of the young men to inquire
what was the matter. At first, Mr.. p. was
unwilling to speak; but on being pressed,
confessed that he had been seized by sud
den impression that brother lie had then
in India was dead. ale died." said he, 7" on OF,
the 18th Of August, at six o'clock I am
perfectly certain of it," No argumen.
could overthrow this opinion, which, in due
course Of post, was verified to the letter.
The young man had died at Cawnpore a,
the period mentioned. = -.
