exhibits them so conspicuously as to make

How 70 Eat CLAIMS.

A correspondent Of the New York
World, who attended the recent "clam-
bake" at Rocky Point, says
II sat ct the same table yesterday
with the Governor Of the State, and
learned from him the democratic way
OF eating CLAIMS, taking them out OF the
shell by the fingers, and eating then
one by one before they had time to
cool. IT'S quite an accomplishment,
and must be acquired before q Rhode
Island clam-bake can be thoroughly
enjoyed. ! noticed some who were not
experts that took out a dozen or two OF
CLANS from their shells upon plate,
and then having duly seasoned them,
they eat them, using knife and fork in
the process. This is not as the Cover
nor and l did. We prepared our sauce
frat, then discarding the knife and
using our fingers. we took the clam
from the shell and deity removed the
skin from the teat, took the teat between
our fcger aud thumb, dipped the clan
in the sauce ofthe melted butter, pepper
sauce, etc, and in this way got away
with a half bushel eacn without the
least trouble, and with very great salts
faction. Chowder, fish, chicken, lob
ster, and other component parts OF a
Rhode Island clam-bake may be eaten
in a civilized manner, but he who at
tempts to eat clans in that way goes to
leeward surely. 1 write strongly on
this subject, because l myself, on this
very trip, at West Haven, WAS euchered
and had to forego the CLANS and par
take of other articles not IS good
simply from lack Of necessary kpowl'
edge as to how they should be eaten.

a MAN was hanged the other day at
San Francisco for murder with wea-
pom Of q peculiarly dangerous nature
This is o club, formed by filling an eel
skin with sand. When this instrument
was first brought into use the authori-
ties were greatly puzzled 10y deaths,
apparently from violence, yet no marks
could be found on the body. A burg
lar was finally captured with such q
club in his possession. Being question:
ed, he explained its use. When the
victim is struck, Tor instance on the
head, he drops insenslble and soon dies
from congestion of the brain. Often
the skull suffers no injury from the
stroke, and 1.-THE person struck RECEIVERS
sensibility, he gradually relapses into
condition of idiocy. Sometimes man
struck in the body will be knocked
down by the peculiar force of the blow
and feel no immediate results from it,
In few weeks, however, the flesh
will begin to mortify under the line OF
the blow and rot down to the bone.
Herrer, the celebrated pianist, is sup
posed to hsve met his death in Mexico
from stroke OF this diabohcal weapon.

yiIiainous Assault.

On Wednesday morning about II
o'clock, q bold and desperate assault
with intent to rob, was perpetrated by
a negro on q white man well advanced
in years, within the city limits. near g
settlement by the name OF Petitvil!e.
The facts as given US are as follows:
The old gentleman was walking
along a lane near the above settlement,
when negro stopped him and demand
ed his money; on his refusal to part
with his all, (Which by the way, was
only ten cents,) the negro snatched a
cane from his hand and struck him
| two or three times over the head with
it, cutting several gashes, and knock
ing him senseless. At this stage OF the
proceedings, the pegro's Operations
were cut short by the appearance OF
other parties, when he fled, leaving the
old man lying on the ground. He was
picked up and carried to the drug store
Of Drs. Wall and Burlington, who at
once dressed his wounds
The old gentleman, whose name is
o. Brien, says had not the negro been
hindered by the appearance OF others,
be, the negro, would have killed him,
az he had threatened 10 do so. Taking
it altogether, it was one OF the most
bold and villainous attempts at murder
and robbery we have heard OF for some
time Up to this time no clue TO the
rascal has been obtained, though the
old man says he would recognize him
| if he should zee him. 1t is 10 be de-
voutly wished that be may be appre,

living and repent of his transgreseions'

The Democratic ticket nominated IN
Ohio last Wednesday seemst to be greet
ed with much enthusiasm by the PEG
pie. The convention has had no equal
save that of 1858. Hon. WILLIAM
ALLEN, the nominee for Governor, was
born in Virginia in 1907. He moved to
Chilicothc when boy and educated
himself by his own labor. He was first
elected to the House OF Representatives
in 1880 and was elected TO the United
States Senate in 1897 and
held the position during twelve years.
During the past tweuty-four years,
although taking a deep interest in POI
litical affairs, Mr.. ALLEN has not been
in public life. but has been enjoying
the eaae OF an independent and educa-
ted farmer. He still retains his iacul-
ties in full yigor and the election this
fall will probably show that he still re-
tains that hold upon the confidence and
affection OF the people Of Ohio that he
enjoyed quarter OF a century ago.

TIE New York World says:

The New York World says; 1T is
common TO see dogs in the early morn
ing cooling their parched tongues by
licking the blocks Of ice left at doors
which suggests the idea that drinking
fountains ought to have basins fitted to
them within the reach OF dogs.
The Age says that in Philadelphia
most aud perhaps all OF the fountains
have q lower BASIN within reach Of the
dogs, while one above it is at suitable
height for horses. In franklin Square
we observe that provision has been
made for the birds, by boards running
down in the basin. On these bridges,
the sparrows may he seen walking
down to the surface OF the waters, which
they cannot reach from the rim OF the
enclosure. These are matters in which
Philadelphia seems to have surpassed
the City OF BEGGH.
There was some talk in this city 8
year CT more ago about the establish
ment of drinking troughs and fountains
at convenient places on our principal
streets. Since then the subject has not
been mentioned, but there is real want
OF such convenience in Wheeling, q
want that is felt every day by the
owners and drivers OF teams, and that
either the public treasury or private
liberalty should supply. Who will be
the first TO establish o drinking trough
tor horses in the business quarter Of the
city? Unlimited thanks await him.

WILL some of cur Pennsylvania ex-
changes be kind enough to Inform US
how many Estate Teachers Associa-
tons" the old Commonwealth now
runs? A short time ago we thought
we discovered that the State AssocIa-
ton would hold It's annual session this
year in Pittsburgh on the l2th, 18th,
and 18th Of August, and, thinking that
the meeting would afford some OF our
free school teachers in this section Of
our own State an opportunity OF seeing
how they do things in Pennsylvania,
we announced the time OF the meeting
and advised our teachers to go. \ few
days later we learned from Pennsyl-
vauia paper that the State Teachers
Association was to assemble this year in
Reading, aud, lest some OF our readers
might be misled by our former notice,
we very regretfully made the correction.
Now, however, we are compelled to
come back to our first impressions. The
Pittsburgh Commercial OF yesterday,
says: "On Tuesday next the State
Teachers Association will open its sec,
sions in this city in the Opera House"
Isthis announcement correct? That's
what we want to know.
And, while on this SUBJECT, it may be
worth while to inquire from some per-
son whe knows, what has become OF
