Bethel.

What? Oh! what? (and echo answers
what p is the cause of the protracted ST
lence of your Bethel correspondents.
We are inclined to believe that they
don't do like they used to 'did," be-
cause they are not like they used to
"was." We think your Phitin Editor
could wake 'em mp. Our school is still
progressing; about seventy-fiYe pupils
have matriculated, and still they come.
Our merchants here are receiving their
spring stocks, and we are doing a lively
business. We think our blacksmith,
MIR. John Morrison, is second TO none in
the county. Our esteemed friend, Cal
Gilbert, still waves. We saw him in
our village the other day trying to buy
a house and lot for the purpose of put
ting up a barber shop. Success to him.
May he prosper in the tOnsorial bust
ness. He said while on his way he saw
two snakes catch each other by the tail
and began to swallow, and by swallow
ing each other also swallowed them
selves, and nothing remained. He says
he can prove this by Eli Mitchell, Z. G..
Reagin and Farris the painter, ''and we
believe him."
One of our sable sons of Africa, fair
specimen to the back step of a pigeon
wing, had some shOats which he turned
F out to ''rOot hog or die" which kept an
noying our friend W. g. Tnman by get
ting into his garden. He, after trying
several means to keep them out, at last
concluded to tie knots in their tails, and
after so doing found them ERE long ali
in but the knot, which prevented them
from going further. This knot showed
what they ought not to have done.
John Smith lives about here yet.
Hoping that your Bethel correspond
ent will be walked up soon, and wishing
the CITIZEN every success, we are truly
yours, PHRANQUE & PSALM.

FIGHT WITH 4 MAD-DoG.
Mr.. W.T.. Hobbs, of Aspen Hin,
Attacked, Fel1ed and
Badly Bitten,


On yesterday morning at the steam
saw mill Of Mr.. W. 7. Hobbs, at Aspen
Hill, child was attacked by niad-dog.
Mr. Hob $, in attempting nobly to res
cue the child, was himself attacked by
the venomous beast, and after a retreat
ing struggle, in which he was bitten
badly in the right arm, fell backwards
over the root of a. tree, when the dog
covered him savagely, and seized him
by the other arm and held TO it with the
feroeity of a wild beast. Mr.. Hobbs at
this juncture called loudly for help, but
none being in reach, he made desper-
ate struggle to save himself. With his
right hand he seized the dog by the
throat and with a powerful effort sue
ceeded in turning him underneath and
chokinghim loose Assistance coming
up now and large knife having been
procured, the dog was disemboweled
and Mr.. Hobbs released his hold, think
ing the incision had been fatal. But he
was mistaken, the dog renewed the
attack and AIr. Hobbs saved himself on
ly by Fetreating into the house. The
dog was pursued and slain Immediately.
Medical assistance was procured for Mr..
Hobbs and all Of the professional reme-
dies have been applied to the wounds,
which are CHASTITY and painful il both
arms Just below the elbow. He came
to town Immediately upon the passing
train and every precaution was taken
by DIR. SumpteF to prevent hydrophObia.
Fortunately the poisoned fangs had to
penetrate both a cotton and a wooden
shirt before they reached the flesh, af-
ter having previously passed through
his WOODEN pants twice and the clothing
of the child once. This it is hoped and
believed was sufficient protection
against inoculatioR. The dog started
from Weekdays creek Tuesday morning
and in his route to Aspen Hin it is esti-
mated that he bit nearly hundred 9TH
er dogs Every dog in his route, no
matter how valuable, should be slain at
once. We did not learn whether the
child first attacked was bitten or not.

The wild geese do not regard DIR. Ay-
er's wisdom In migrating north-such
immense numbers OF them as are fly
ing over us now, while his almanac
says; "Bleak and clustering about this
time, with heavy snow" Cedar Rapids
(L0fcd) Times, March 3.
We were too fast in our item last
week on the conflict between DIR. Aver
and the wild geese. The Doctors sci
ence beats their instinct this time. Not
for years have we had such snow
storm as that Of last Sunday. The snow
lies three feet deep on level In Mime
sofa and two feet ia Wisconsin, while
the storm has swept from the Atlantic
70 the Rocky Mountains. Snow fell TO
various depths as far as Denver, Fort
linton and Santa Fe. Learned as we
believed Dr. Aver In the arcana OF ma
ture, and wonderful as we knew his
medicines to be, we were not prepared
FOR so signal an instance ofhis superior
ity, not oiily over the wise men, but the
wisest Of animals, whose Instinct is con-
sidered unfailiRg. We drive up the peg
more firmly than ever over our hearth
for Ayers American Almanac.-C Cedar
Rapids Times, Adrch 10.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is gratifying to see
with what earnestness the farmers of
this section are again laying their hands
to the pillow handle. They are an hon
est set of men, and / can but ask that,
when they shall have done their labor,
they meet not with the fate of that old
tiller of the soil, Cain. Cotton viii be
the main "go" here.
Has not foul weather a tendency so
cause disease? Well, it has rained,
hailed, Numbered, Hghtninged, sleeTed
and showed until all the people, horses,
cattle, sheep, dogs, cats and chickens
have contracted a malady they call
'ManahorseacOwash eepadOgacatahena
zooty." Again, heavy fall of rain is
very useful in carrying off filth, ETC.;
hence we rejoice in the disappearance
of this nice little word, OF that which it
implies, but we have hearts of com
junction, and are naturally led to feel
for thOose who live below us on the wa
tiers of Richland.
With much sympathy here note the
bestrayaI of a muchi hOnorcd race
known as the Peach. They were de-
coyed into the sunshine and then at
tackled by the enemy, but without
much loss.
The neighborhOOd is soon to be de-
prived of three of its brightest young
men, viz: Messrs. Parker, Vaughn and
Bowden, the last of whom is already
gone. They are aiming to manufacture
the celebrated clifton Steam Washer"
and browns Animal Trap" They
will locate in Florence, Ala. Success to
them. NoNEGO.

Mr.. EDTToR ;-SuDposing that your
readers would be glad TO hear from this
part Of the county, / take This method Of
giving them the opportunity OF reading
what / know in regard 20 the growth
and prosperity of our little but highly
animated village. The spirit Of enter
prise and industry is running very high
at this time. This part Of the country
is wild GA the railroad question. l
believe that the good people Of this por-
ton of old Giles are wide awake on the
subject of railroads and ether enter
prises. There seems to be widespread
interest manifested in improvement. /
believe the people, or at least the voters,
win vote the tax by a large majority.
As q proof Of that fact they are prepar-
ing themselves to meet the emergency.
The merchants, clerks. blacKsmiths,
strikers, doctors, students and lawyers
are in full blast manufacturing wooden
knives to throw with the unsuspecting
countryman and negro that may chance
to pass this way. They frequently get
a knife worth one dollar and fifty cents
for one of their own make of wood.
Some of them have at least 8 dozen in
their pocket rafting them around, and
take great pleasure in showing them on
the streets as evidence of their skill in
the new business of this place. What
say you, other little towns of old Giles

ADriI PhOOI.

One of our Jewish merchants looked
at his almanac last Tuesday and saw that
it called upon him to do something
He had not long to study before he hit
upon happy device to have some fun,
and the thought was rapidly followed
by its execution. He inserted a straw
through a hole made with n needle in
the tough part of the palm of his hand,
and then placing his thumb over the
place so that one end of the straw only
was visible while the other end ran back
under his thumb and up his coat sleeve
about eighteen inches, he proceeded to
the office of one of our physicians and
protesting to be in utmost pain desired
the DR.. to extract the straw. The DIR.
nervously grabbed his nippers and shut
down upon the prOtruding straw, which
gradually yielded, and as it heightened
into inches and then into feet his eyes
opened wide, until at last eighteen inch
es of straw wa laid out upon the cable
to be preserved in alcohol. Then the
wound must be dressed, and when his
suffering patient raised his thumb the
DIR. wilted. The laugh then was i'm
moderate at his expense, butwith wor-
thy fortitude and a dry grin freezing
upon his countenance he bore up. The
fun ended here. The Dr's brow con-
tracted and his massive brain was heard
to surge and rattle as he cogitated. He
seized pen and paper, made out his bill
of So, handed it to an officer, who
''went for" the merchant with a regu-
larly executed warrant, and in fifteen
minutes he had his fee secured and the
merchant paid the costs.

The american Farmers Allocate comes
to hand for March little behind time,
but the delay is accounted Tor by its
improved appearance. The publishers,
who have from the commencement
shown unusual enterprise in giving q
great amount of reading matter, and of
n quality unexeelled, have made one
improvement after another. With this
number they commence printing upon
fine pa per, from clear, new type, fur
nishing as heretofore sixteen large
pages of reading matter, stitched and
cut. Every farmer and every business
man should take it, and the publishers
have adopted plan which enables ev-
cry one to obtain Il without cost. By
sending them subscription for any s.
or higher priced paper magazine, they
furnish the Advocate as a premium
without extra charge. The subserip-
ton price Is 81, or ia clubs at 90 cents

a countryman drove upon the square
the other day with a wagon load of ba-
con and leaving his team started in
quest of buyer. Accosting a young dry
goods clerk he asked him If he wished
to purchase. The clerk responded that
he did--that he had everything else in
the world necessary, and lot of good
bacon would fill his cup of happiness
just exactly full, and that he was giving
twenty cents a pound. The country
man started for his wagon and the clerk
for a good place to hide. The bacon
vender drove up, got out and hunted mp
his purchaser, aud though he denied
being the man, told him that he knew
better and was going to compel him to
take 1t. Caught In the trap, the clerk
grew desperate, and madly Smelling out
twenty cents told his tormentor TO meas
ure him of pound-which was did,
and the Disguised grease dealer silently
slid away.
