A DARING REscUE.-A curious incl
dent recently occurred in Gwinnett
county. Georgia. Mr.. Knight was out
with two fox hounds. They were in full
cry after REWARD, all running TO Stone
Mountain. Suddenly the dogs disap-
peared, and it was not known what had
become of them There is steep, per-
pendicular side to the mountain and la
ter in the day some parties passing in
the valley below, heard bark, and on
looking up saw the two dogs, dimly de-
fined, standing on little crag which
iutted out from the wall about two thous-
and feet from the base. While the men
were straining their eyes, one of the dogs
was seen to slip, and as he rolled from
the crag all hope of his safety was aban-
doned. The lockers on expected him to
fall mangled mass at her feet. But
with surprising agility the hound caught
on crag below; he crouched as if de-
termined not to lose his footing again
The report spread, and eager crowds
gathered to see for themselves the peril
Gus position of the dogs. 1t was on Mon,
day that the hounds got themselves into
the strange position, but until Wednes-
day was any determined attempt to res
cue made. Several humane gentlemen
climbed up to the mountain top, and by
means of strong rope, tied to strong
cedar, descended FIVE hundred feet. Here
a new rope was tied to another friendly
cedar, and F. P. Julian, Jr., prepared
to continue the perilous journey down
declivity. He pulled off his boots, and
taking the rope in his hands, walked
and swung himself six hundred feet be-
low his companions. Here he found the
first dog and by means of the rope had
him safely landed above. One hundred
and twenty feet further down he found
the second dog on bench in the rock
wall, several feet in length and about
two feet in width. AT first the hound
resisted the rescue, and it is presumed
that hope had died out in his heart and
he was dull with despair. But by lit
tie coaxing the intrepid youth overcame
resistance, and the dog was rescued from
his narrow resting place. When they
reached the top, and convinced of their
safety, the dogs were almost wild with
gratitude. They laid their heads in the
lap of Mr.. Julian, fondled on him and
tried to thank him in every possible
manner. 1t is presumed that crafty rev.
nard led the dog through the crevice
and so farup the mountain side that they
could neither 60 forward nor return
That they struggled to regain the plane
is shown by their feet, the claws of their
hind feet being worn off. A strong wind
was blowing when Mr.. Julian made the
perilous descent, which render the I'M
dertaking all the more hazardous. His
brave act should endear his name in the
heart of all the gallant fox hunters in
the country. And those who cry out at
field sports should remember that such
sports make iustsuch cool daring fellows
as young Julian proved himself 10 be-
Men of his stamp are the country's hope
in the hour of danger. = Turf Field and

LAWYERS SIT NEAREST THE FIRE"
During the sitting of a court in Con-
necticut not long ago, on very cold
evening crowd of lawyers had collect
ed around the fire that blazed cheerfully
on the hearth in the bar-room, when
traveller entered, benumbed with cold,
but no one moved to give him room to
warm his shins, SO he leaned back against
the wall in the back part of the room.
Presently, smart, young limb of the

STANDING IN THE WAY.-There are a
few men in every community-to use the
language of an exchange who never
do anything to assist public improve
ment in the way Of building up their
town. They always protest that such
improvements do not profit them indi-
vidually a nickle. We notice however,
that every time town secures public
improvement of any importance, these
same men, if they have any real estate
or building to rent, put up the price. A
place wholly composed of such individ-
uals would be about as lively as grave
yard.

SHARP TRICK OF A PENSION AGENT

SHARP TRICK OF A PENSION AGENT.
The East Tennessee mystery, produced
by the recent unaccountable disappearance
from Sweetwater Of Thos. G. Boyd, it was
reported that he had been murdered ty
five masked men, and his body afterward
buried. The Knoxville Chronicle says
further investigation reveals the killing
story to be fraud, and that Boyd, who is
government defaulter to the amount of
100000, has quietly left the country.
Boyd was a pension agent. The 'Chron-
icle says; The amount Of money involved
in the frauds perpetrated by Boyd against
the government exceed 100000, extend.
ing over term of years. Some of them
are Of the most barefaced character and
succeeded from their very boldness. As an
instance we will mention the case Of Samuel

On Monday Elliott walked into the PEN

TO hear Of his death. So far from being
dead he had never run the risk Of being
killed in battle, having never been in the
army. The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Choate,

HORRIBLE SCENE.

bURNINo OF HEARTS IN CONNECTICUT
ABSURD AND BRUTAL SUPERSTITION.
From the Providence Herald. Sept. bthl
The village of Peacedale was thrown in
to excitement on Thursday last by the re-
port that two graves had been dug up
near Watson's corner, on the shore OF the
Saugatuck river. The family Of Mr.. VIM.
Rose, who reside at Saunderstown, near
the South Ferry, are subject to consump-
ton, several members of the family having
died Of the disease, and ono member of the
family Is now quite low with 1t. At the
urgent request Of the sick man, the father,
assisted by Charles Harrington, of North
Kingston, repaired to the burying-ground
located one mile north of Peacedale, and,
after building fire, first dug up the
grave of his son, who had been buried
twelve years, for the purpose of taking
out his heart and liver, which were to be
placed in the fire and consumed,
In order TO carry out the
old superstition that the con-
sumptive dead draw nourishment from the
living. But as the body was entirely re-
duced to ashes, except few bones, 1t was
shortly covered up, and the body of q
daughter who had been dead seven years
was taken out of the grave beside her
brother. This body was found to be
nearly wasted away, except che vital parts,
the liver and heart, which were in a per-
feet state of preservation. The coffin was
nearly perfect, while the sons coffin was
nearly demolished. After the heart and
liver had been taken out it was placed in
the fire and consumed, the ashes only be-
ing put back in the grave. The fire was
then put out and the two men departed to
their respective homes. Only few spec
tators were present TO witness the horrible
scene. 1t seems that this is not the first
time that graves have been dug up where
consumption was prevalent in the family
and the vital parts burned, in order to
save the living. A few years ago the
same was done IN the village OF Moors-
field, and also in the town of North
Kingstown, both of course without success.
