REMEDY FOR A Dog BIrE.-ln the case of
The bite OF a dog where the teeth penetrate
The flesh, whether the dog was known to be
mad or not, use the same precautions. Wash
the wound with warm water, extract all the
virus possible by sucking the wound with the
lips, and then cauterze it deeply with the
caustlc most readily obtained. The time in
which the effects of the bite of mad dog
would be seen, varies from two to three days
10 as many years; but if no effects are felt
after two or three months, as general thing,
thc patient may consider himself safe. Bites
made through clothing are seldom productive
of much harm, as if the dog is mad the cloth
ing absorbs the virus before the teeth reach
the flesh. Most all of the fatal cases are
where the person was bitten on some naked
spot If one is situated where he can take a
Turkish bath soon after being bitten, DO so
by all means. The Precipitation will help to
carry off the poison that may Turk in the
>ystem.-Heraid Of HEATH.

The psotracted meeting at the Metho.
dist church, after an interesting and profit
able term of three or four weeks closed
last Tutslsy night. We understand that
during the meeting thirty.tbree persons
united with the congregation. Some Of
these were from the other branch of the
Methodist church, but o great many Of
them were young people who had before
made no confession. After the depart.
ure of Mr.. Dimes, the meeting was con-
Quoted by Revs. Downing and larwater.
We understand that Mr.. Bourland OF
Hannibal was expected here to continue
the meeting on Tuesday, and his inabil.
ity to attend has probably terminated the
meeting sooner than it would otherwise
have been,.- Clarksville Sentinel.
On Friday night of last week the citi.
zens Of Clsrksville witnessed what was to
them new and novel scene. During
the preceding week a number Of persons
had joined the Christian church, and
were that night immersed in the bap-
tistry after services we're over. The
baptistry is constructed in the floor just
in front of the pulpit, and is covered by
a door that when closed is as even and
smooth as the floor. When the time for
immersion came the house was crowded.
Everybody tried to get In front, and the
boys during the ceremony mounted the
benches and stretched their necks to
amazing lengths to get glimpse Of what
was going on. That night there were
I or 9 immersed, and a number since
that time. Six or eight additions more
have been made to the church since that
time. Sentinel

Brother Farmers, don't forget that our Eastern
neighbors are feeding apples to stock with good
results, while We have only scanty supply for
family use.
Also, that Eastern farmers have their barrels
of cider and an abundance Of the best Of apple
vinegar, and hero either is q rarity with the ma.
jority of families.
And yet We most all cultivate more land than
is profitable, and have often an abundance of
waste and worn out lands that could be Il ade
profitable if set in trees, besides improving the
condition of the land.

The latest news we have from Wash
ington foreshadow that "old subsidy"
Pomeroy will be whitewashed by the
senate committee appointed to investi.
gate his recent action. The Republi.
cans special Of the ID inst. says: 1t is
stated on what seems to be reliable au.
thority that the investigating committee
will to morrow report that the charges
against Senator Pomeroy are not proven
1t is also understood that the delay in
the presentation Of the report is owing to
the efforts Of Pomeroy's friends, which
are still in progress, to induce the com
mittee to include in their report some
expression Of opinion adverse to the
validity Of Ingalls, election, on tn.
ground that it was effected by . merel,
pretended exposure.

by Stevenson to censure Hooper Of Mae.

.Mobilier stock ought to have been ex.
PEELED but the question arose whether
the house had the right to expel mem.
for ofFenses committed before bis election
to that body, claiming that two elections
had intervened since the offenses we're
committed in other words, whether the
present Congress had the right to expel
a member for an act committed while he
was q member Of a previous Congress.
But however that may be, the people
will probably remember these things in
future elections; and if they do their
duty, the black sheep will not again te
allowed to occupy their present seats,
though they may escape their deserts
now, and fer awhile longer act as the
representatives Of a constituency which
we are slow to believe they properly
represent.

Since our article saying that the
legislature had done nothing in regard to
the registration system was put iu
type, We see that an amendment has
been adopted by the house, to be voted
on at the general election in November
1874, repeating the present registry pro.
vision of the constitution and substitut.
ing therefor the following:
SEC. 4. The general assembly may
provide by law for registering all voter,
in cities and towns having a population
Of more than five thousand inhabitants
This amendment, if adopted, and w
have no doubt on that point, will rsliev
the state of considerable expense, and th
people OF much trouble.

The Louisiana muddle caused by the
contesting Of the election in that state,
and the unwarranted action of the United
States District Court in the premises,
is still occupying the public's attention.
The congressional committee that invest.
isated the affair reported against the de.
cision, or rather the arbitration Of the
court, aud give Gen. Grant very sound
reprimand over the judges shoulders,
for upholdiug its decision. 1t is held
by some Of the senators that there has
been no legal election in that state, and
now an attempt to get bill through or,
dering a new election is on the tapis. 1t
created considerable interest in the senate
on the 9th ult., when Senator Carpenter
Of Wisconsin made an allie speech in sup.
port of new election, laying aside for
the time being all partisan preferences
Attempts were made to successfully break
the force Of his remarks, but proved fu
tile. Dispatches say that it is predicted
on all sides that the proposition ordering
new election will pass.
While this is going on in Washington
Gov. McEnery of Louisiana is calling for
the enrolment Of the state militin, and
limiting very strongly towards a genera
arming Of the people, to place on the
bench the judges denied their seats by
the Radicals. The Republican remarks
that the expedieucy Of the course of Gov
McFnery may we'll be doubted in view o
the serious consequences that may cnsu'
from arbitrary conduct on the part of tL'
Federal authorities. The situation look,
really serious.

"Adjourn! Adjourn! Adjournr r. is
the cry Of the people and nearly all the
papers in tho state to the legislature. So
little has been accomplished by tho pres :
snt assembly, which appears so far to be
very ordinary body, that the people do
not expect anything from them, and
therefore want them to adjourn. If the
members don't get to work on someting
that ia Of real interest to the people, they
hal better return home. They have
not yet touched upon needed amend.
ments regarding registration, nor the uu.
wise action of their predecessors 10 pass
ing the bill forcing the creditors Of the
state to receive legal tender for certain
bonds held by them, nor tho investment
Of the school fund 10 state bonds in 40
cordance With Q recent amendment
Thtse questions would necessarily oc-
cupy considerable time, and should have
been brought up at the 6rst of the ses.
sion. Que Of them was submitted the
icvestment Of tho school fund by Col.
Hull but We have seen no report of the
committee to which it was referred in
regard thereto. The editor of the Parii
Mercury, who is a member Of the legis
lature, in speaking of it asks: "The
legislature has now been 10 session some
seven weeks or more (uine weeks now

Pomeroy's story reads we'll, and af-
ter man had told it, say 6hy.6ve or
sixty times, he might possibly begin 10
believe it. But the average American
citizen has undergone q sonderful
growth as to tho cynicism Of his mind
during the last half dozen years or so.
Therefore it is ssiae probable that men
will wonder how man Who does bank
ing business in such loose way as the
senator does his, eves got 90 immensely
rich as the senator is s-Republicsn.

The Republicans Washington special
says: 1t is the intention of the senate
not to take any action in the case Of Pat
terson, but to allow the resolution cxpell.
ing him TO lie on the table, on the ground
that the pressure of business prevents its
being taken up this session. AS his
term of Office expires on the fourth of
March next, the senator from New
Hampshire will have the consolation of
knowing that he only escapes expulsion
through the forbearance of his official
associates.
