refuse to accept the valuable gift.
we would suggest to the Ambas-

coming to the United States, as

Sad Case Of Hy drophobia
A Rabid Bride.
An Awful Wedding Morn.

From the Pittston (Pa.) Gazette.
About eleven weeks ago, a
young lady named Cox, daueh.
ter of Miles Cox, of Stoddarts-
Vile, went out into the yard to
kill some chickens. The dog fol-
lowed her and picking up one of
the chickens IAN off with it. She
chased him with a stick, to recov.
er it, and coming up with him he
turned upon her and bit her in
the arm, decorating it fearfully.-
Her mother and brother coming
to tie rescue, were also badly
bitten by the Infatuated beast
The wounds healed, however, and
nothing more was thought of the
matter. The young lady was
engaged to be married to young
man living at Goldsboro, named
Alfred Kerrick, and the wedding
was appointed 10 come off at that
place about two weeks ago. On
the wedding morning, as she was
about to perform her additions,
the sight of water sent a shiver
through her whole system and
frightened her, and at the break
fast table the coffee had such an
effect upon her that she spilled it
over the table. She then com.
planned Of feeling unwell, and her
friends advised her to stay at
home, but she said she did not
want 10 disappoint AL, and &C
companied by a sister proceeded
to Gouldsboro, where the wedding
ceremony was performed. Im.
mediately after this she was seized
with spasms, bearing all the in
dications Of hydrophobia. In one
of her lucid intervals she warned
the company that she would bite
them if they did not keep away
from her; But" said she to her
husband, Gal, you need not be
afraid, I won't bite you" In one
of her paroxysms she bit q lady
who was endeavoring to soothe
her. 1t was the wife of Doc.
Hoffman, who drives the stage
from Gouldsboro to the Sand cut,
on the D. LIS W. Railroad. Soon
after assuring her husband that
she would not bite him, she was
seized with commissions, and lying
back in his aims, died. We have
seldom been called upon to record
so sad case as this. For one
moment a happy bride, and then
the victim Of a horrid death -
The other members of the family
who were bitten by the dog have
not as yet displayed any symptoms
Of the disease, but they live in
hourly dread.

legislative.

In obedience to the Governors
proclamation, converting the Leg.
islature in extra session, that body
met On Tuesday, the 18th. Sixty
four members of the House pres
ent, nine absent aud two vacan-
cies.
Bills were introduced in the
House and Senate On nearly all
the subjects mentioned in the
proclamation aud the Governor q
message.
The redistricting Of the State
is plain bat troublesome duty.
The various aspirants for Congress
would like to have the districts
laid off to suit their individual
opinions, as to their local popular
ity.
The House went to work in
earnest, by appointing a commit
tee of five OH each section of the
proclamation, to which committee,
all bills on that subject are re
ferred.
The apportionment commit
tee has been at work a week
now, and have not agreed on !:
bill-each party has introduced
its own bill. We learn from
our Representative, Col. Tillman,
who is chairman of the school
committee, that there will prob
ably be no changes in the school
laws-a large majority of the
Legislature being opposed to a
tax for school purposes, either
by the Legislature or the County
Courts. 1t is proposed, howev.
er, to create a superintendent
with the power of exercising a
general supervision of school
matters-to give advice, coun-
sci and useful information to
county superintendent and dis
trict commissioners.

Mr.. EDlToR-I told you in my
former article that our Board OF
Trustees had employed Prof.
Simpson, and his school would
oegin March 4th. Well, so they
did employ him, but just before
his commencement day some un-
principled persons outside of the
board raised a (alsehood against
him, but through the direction of
kind Providence, he came from
under the false report without the
smell of fire on his vesture. But
alas he was thrown overheard,
aud another teacher had to be en-
ployed. But | am happy to say
that our Board has employed our
worthy citizen and friend r.
Routt, a noted teacher. am sat
isied that he will not be controlled
by our wise men" or sectarian-
ism. | tell you, for little place
this beats all for "Solumons"
and sectarianism of any other in
IL 100 miles of Fayetteville. But
notwithstanding all the confusion,
the place is still improving very
fast. Our friend Cambron has
opened No l family grocery
and deserves patronage from all,
aud Uncle John has a first class
confectionery. Come up some
time and see our little town and
drink of its pure water. ! don't
