Wonderful Properties of the mad
Stone"
Last week we gave notice Of Mr.. Bur
nett, (whom by mistake we called Bar
rett, being bitten by a supposed mad dog,
and of his going to Terre Haute to apply
the mad stone. From Mr.. Henry Schlos-
ser we have the particulars of the result
When Mr.. Burnett was bitten, he hardly
thought the dog mad, but Mr.. Schlosser,
on whose farm Mr.. Burnett was q tenaat.
advised him to beprudent and lose ne time
in trying the mad stone. Burnett was
bitten on Sunday, and on Tuesday started
for Terre Haute. On his arrival the arm
and hand were swelled almost to BURSTING.
and the wound was very painful, ali
four OF the dogs tusks having penetrated
his wrist. Immediately upon his arri-
val, he repaired to the house of Mrs. Tav-
lor, where the mad stone was applied.
The stone adhered to the wound with won
derful tenacity, remaining for twenty-four
hours. 1t was then applied again on
another part of the arm, where it adhered
several hours. A third time it was ap-
Piled on another part of the arm, but
would not adhere, and Mrs. Taylor in
formed her patient that he was cured, the
fact OF the stone refusing to adhere being
evidence that all the poison was abstracted.
During the operation green fluid was alb
sorbed by the stone, and trickled in drops
from the wound, and the patient could
feel the pain leaving his arm. When the
stone became charged with this poisonous
matter; it was soaked in warm water for a
time, when 1t would again adhere with
Its original tenacity, and contin-
ued to do so until the greenish mat
ter ceased to appear when it dropped
of. Mrs. Taylor pronounced the
nrt. D,sss.ss.ss.-,L Lis..l a. NJ, v,t,rsE
one she had ever seen, but very confident
ly assured Mr.. B. that after the operation
of the stone, he need have no fears of nv
drophobia. We have heard often of this
mad stone, and being incredulous, took the
pains to make some inquiry concerning #.
The stone has been in the possession of the
Taylor family for a great many wears. and
has been tried great many times on per-
sons bitten by mad animals. 1t has never
failed to cure in single instance. we are
told. Twenty years ago Lewis Toms, of
this place, and who is now living to attest
the statement, was bitten by a mad dog,
and was cured by the application of this
wonderful stone. We did not learn where
this wonderful curative was originally OBJ
tanned. 1t is porous, and in appearance
much resembles piece of lava, in com
mon use among painters. Mr.. Toms, re-
its good effect on himself, Joined
Mr.. SchlOsser iu advising Burnett to trv it.
and he came back relieved of his intense
pain, and feeling that his life was saved by
the mad stone. Mrs. Taylor's charges are
very reasonable, being SIS for the opera
ton, and boarding the patient during the
time occupied in curing him.-Attica lInd)

A snrnrt.s to a wood Thier.

A gentleman living in Terre Haute,
whose stove wood melted away faster than
was warranted by the mildness of the
weather, charged a fine looking stick with
a few ounces of powder, and left it on the
pile. The Express thus relates thesequel:
"wednesday forenoon an explosion was
heard In u mouse near by, and Kitchen
window was spared no panes. On going
to the spot sight might have been seen.
The stove had joined peace conference,
kettle of pork and cabbage shot up
through the roof like an arrow. A dish
of apples stewing on the stove gave the
ceiling the appearance of a map of Cali
fornia. A cat that was sleeping under the
stove went through the broken window as
though after the devil or doctor. The
cat has not been heard from since, but a
smell of burnt cat hair prevades that house
very thoroughly. A Aat-iron was hoistod
into pan of dough, chair lost three legs,
the wood box looks sick, while the roof of
the house looks like bursted appledump-
ling,

at the wells about fourteen and half dol

characterized very many oil COMPANIES
and dishonesty has been prominent
in many of them from the start. Now
that we are out of the fever of the great
oil year, 1t Is certain that some of the rot
ten concerns must be made to show their
hand. A large number of companies that
are without working capital will soon
make assessments; others will sell out
their property and divide the proceeds
among the stockholders.

The United States Well Ceased Flow
f11fr.

Ahe UnlteO states We'll Ceased Flow
ing.
AT halfpast two o'clock Thursday after
noon last, the great United States well, on
Pithole Greek, ceased flowing, having been
flooded by one of the new wells going
down in its vicinity. The Pithole Record,
in announcing the fact, says: at is of
course mere guess work to say which well
did the mischief, but when that well is
tubed, the United States well can be
pumped out, and there are the best reasons
IN the world for supposing that she will
flow as before Mr. Burchill, the energetic
Vice President of the United States Pet
roleum Company, is putting powerful
engine on the ground to pump the water
out, and we hope ere long to chronicle the
restoration of her oily stream. There is
but one conclusion to be drawn from the
above and that is, if the new wells going
down were cased, we should not have to
chronicle the failure of our pioneer wells,
and this alone ought to draw full attend
ance at the meeting this afternoon to dis
cuss the subject Of casing wells"

WASHINGTON, November Witnesses
for the defence continue to be examined be-
fore the Farragut Court Martial. Surgeon
Potter and Lieutenant Phoenix testified
that judging from all the facts in the case,
Commodore Craven acted as a wise, judi
cious and brave commander in not engaging
the rebel ram Stonewall. The latter be-
lieved there would have been no more
chance for the Niagara than there would
have been for a brig in combat with a
frigate.
